Re: I need some tunes, yo.

Every year I try and put together some music to play during the breaks at BH that is hacker inspired, or has some sort of governmnet conspiracy feel to it.

M'kay, band Ohgr, album Sunnypsyop, at least tracks 1, 2 and 6 -- HiLo, maJik, DoG. It's Ogre, the singer from Skinny Puppy, only much less intense. Great music to hack to without making you contemplate ending it all.
Amazon has samples of the tracks and it's also purt cheap:

Also, Front Line Assembly, album Tactical Neural Implant (for that retro DC9 feel). Tracks 4, 5 Remorse and Biomechanic.

I 2nd the KMFDM suggestion. most of the UAIOE album. Also WWIII album and the tracks WWIII, Stars and Stripes, Bullets Bombs and Bigotry.
Album KMFDM, Nihil. Tracks... most of 'em: Terror, Search & Destroy, Revolution.

Maybe some Sex Pistols? The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle. Specifically, Sid vicious did a great cover of "My Way", other good covers: Substitute, I'm not your steppin' stone.

Re: I need some tunes, yo.

As someone else mentioned, anything by MC++ will be computer related.

Monzy - So Much Drama in the PHD "your mom circulates like a public key, servicing more requests than http, she keeps all her ports open like Windows ME."

NATAS -Cyberkill The funniest thing is he doesn't know much about computers, but it's all about how he's gonna hack your shit and fuck you up. Specifically fuck up your "CD Harddrive interface" and apparently he can also come right through your phoneline and shoot you.

Soul Coughing - Unmarked Helicopters, found on the "Song in the Key of X" Xfiles soundtrack "unmarked helicopters, hovering, they said it was a weather balloon...."

Down in the Park Several people have done this one, but it is also found on the "Songs in the key of X" album, done by the Foo Fighters. There's several songs on this album that may suit your needs.

I know there's also a punk girl band that does a song about Bill Gates, but I'll have to remember who it was.

Re: I need some tunes, yo.

ok, some others that come to mind..

Black Sabbath - The Wizard
NIN - Kinda I Want To
System of a Down - Toxicity
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Get On Top
Janes Addiction - Ocean Size
Fantomas - Der Golem
Tool - Hooker with a Penis
The Presidents of the United States - Boll Weevil
Millencolin - Random I Am
6gig - Hit the Ground

Of all the Primus albums, I think Antipop and The Final Voyage of the Liquid Sky can be relatively interesting.


.. and for some reason Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose always reminds me of the countless sheep in the world. "and you swear to me, you don't want to be my slave; but you're staring at me like I need to be saved".. simply perfect for World-domination-coding-vibe.

Re: I need some tunes, yo.

I've had a few favorites floating around. I do like the GitS: SAC sound track, but when I'm not listening to sound tracks:

Röyksopp - "Poor Leno" The music video shows this little kid dressed in a bear suit running away from the government, so I figure it fits in there. The song is very mellow, great for coding imo. Royksopp won best video in MTV Europe, so they're pretty well known over there. Dont know if they've ever gotten more than MTV-2 in America.

Chemical Bros. - "Star Guitar" Some of the best coding music I own. Sit down in front of a computer, put this one on repeat, and I get sheet done.

Aphex Twin - "Come to Daddy" Great when you're about to root a box or crack open something fun. Aphex Twin's experimental is excellent for putting on and feeling like something either really bad or really strange is about to happen.

Download - "Microscopic" - What can I say, techno music made by one of the Skinny Puppy front men? From what I hear, they locked themselves in a recording studio, dropped a bunch of acid, and made this cd. The music speaks for itself.

Scissor Sisters - "Comfortably Numb" - End of the night, you've just seen 3 cross-dressing vegas divas, half the DC kids are too drunk to understand the bathroom is not the elevator, and you decide to bump this. You will get looks, and I cannot tell you if they are good or bad. Scissor Sisters were introduced to me through my brother, and all I can say is insane, but catchy.

Orbital - "Halcyon & On & On" - Ok, ok, ok, this was in that ridiculously stupid hollywood movie hackers, but it is one of the best chill-out songs I can think of. Its something like 15 minutes (at work, can't check the time), and is great for putting on, sitting back, and enjoying. Orbital is pretty well known, they have their major hits and misses. Orbital: Octane SUCKS, but Halcyon is good stuff.

a few tracks to throw in there, pretty random sheet but my taste is mostly relaxed music

Re: I need some tunes, yo.

I have DVD with about 1 GB of Techno stuff that was mixed by a co-worker. I am hoping to get his Okay and will loan the DVD out to any/all that want to rip any of it.

Re: I need some tunes, yo.

Humanoid must not escape -- Caustic Window (Aphex Twin)
That's a good song.

Perhaps some jams from an Aesop Rock album. Just pick any of them because they are all excellent.

Also, anything from "Melodies from Mars"; specifically mfm #5. ;-)

Nak: Go plastic! is an extremely awesome album. Exploding the human psychology is another well written song on that CD.

Perhaps if we go with a bit of Squarepusher we could add Datach'i?
