//Without order nothing can exist - without chaos nothing can evolve. \(anon)

Ziggyyy.. playyeddd.... guitarrrrrr.....

Bowie is great.. I listen to so many types of music. From The Cure, to Tiesto and Mauro Picotto.. Korn, Coldplay, Gorillaz, Muse, Magic Dirt.. I like the recent Chilli Peppers too.. [:)]

bush, incubus, teaparty, system of the down, staind, korn, live, chilli peppers,rem, manson, massive attack, eminem, orgy, nin, radiohead, pearl jam, portishead, sevendust...off the top of my head [:)]

im listening to a whole heap of sunscreem twelves at this moment

yah beth orton and portishead, wish they never split portishead concert in brisvegas was great. massive attack and tricky hit my spot every time, me got unfinished sympathy on 12 inch last year, 2 copies to be sure :)

I like remixes of old (and newer) game tunes. Theres an amazing (IMO :) ) remix of the SF2 end credits tune mixed with pachabel canon that is one of my favourite tunes of all time.
Other than that, i mainly listen to punk and oi! music.

I'm with ya there Blitz, but you'll hafta gimme a name for the SF2 remix so I can hunt it down. Any band doing a cover of Zelda ownz in my book (NIN and SoaD immediately spring to mind)

Frenzal Rhomb, Grinspoon, Cake, Eric Clapton, Crowded House, NIN, Metallica, Powderfinger, Something for Kate, Big Heavy Stuff, Weird Al, RatM, movie soundtracks like Star Wars/Toy Story/etc, U2... basically, I'll listen to anything. Yes, including Country (usually mates who are country singers, or Kacey Chambers)

http://remix.overclocked.org has heaps of game remixes, including the one i suggested above. It's called "SF2 CE (One Credit Finish Mix)" by Rayza.
CYer, Blitz

Oh, I have a tiny collection of C64 music remixes! Way of the Exploding Fist, Internationl Karate, Commando (hi-score), Monty, Robocop (title music), just to name a few... Brilliant tunes and melodies. Lovely nostalgic stuff. [:)]

Lately I've been listening to arch enemy, nile, my dying bride, madder mortem, morbid angel, Nick cave, at the gates, satyricon,Amber Asylum, Polly Jean Harvey( Who is playing at the big day out, plus other gigs particularly her show on the 28th in melbourne which I have a ticket too YAY!!), Lacuna coil, dark tranquility, zyklon and emperor. Been itching for somthing new lately, looks like I'l be heading to JB hi-fi in the next couple of days.

"when it comes to angry killing machines, nothing beats the Lord Jesus!"

Well my usual playlist includes: Tool, Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, Foo Fighters, Tool, Deftones, A Perfect Circle, Nirvana, System of a Down, At the Drive In, Tool, Linkin Park, Slayer, Korn, Smashing Pumpkins etc.

Although I sometimes just tune the radio to JJJ and listen to that, usually they have some good things playing during the morning / day.

Whatever I feel like at the time. Usually NIN, Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss, System Of A Down and Haujobb get played, but I also play (from time to time) Foo Fighters, Tea Party, Manson, Pantera, Fear Factory, Prodigy, Regurgitator, RATM, and a big mix of every song I think is kewl and that I have an MP3 for.

That's alot of Tool in one playlist.
Ummm - lately I have been listening to the sound of silence. but if not that then the radio in the background or maybe some game music or some such. Either that or some form of metal.

I have to say it. Dark Tranquillity went pants after Projector.

The bands I listen to in general are : Opeth (up until Deliverance), Dark Tranquillity (up until Haven), Chalice (great aussie/adelaidean band, any doom metal people should go support them), Tristania (earlier), have a near complete Megadeth and Metallica collection from teeny-bopper head-banger years, Amorphis, Alchemist (good band from Canberra), At The Gates, some small amounts of Tool, maybe Chilli Peppers sometimes.
On a more chilled note Enigma and Delerium (when they were two people and not one) are good. The Conan soundtrack is mucho cool, Blade Runner soundtrack also very good, Vangelis in general is sometimes good.

Snootchie bootchies!

it was produced by Bad Productions and recorded at Alberts Studios, Sydney, Australia.
Hows that? i might even listen to .... is this really from the atari space invaders... hmm i dont think so.. its got vocals like devo might sing .....rfl teeheehee ( oh but it does sample space invaders, that for sure)

Its obvious that I listen to NIN, also all of Bowie, Tweaker (Chris Vrenna exNINs band), faithless (insomnia ;P), Alice in Chains, Faith No More, Type O Negative, Corporate Avenger, as well as the Blade Runner soundtrack and some Sonic Mayhem. I've tried working to heavier music, but no work gets done as I instead prefer to jump around like a crazy man!!!

Bladerunner soundtrack!! Vangelis is the man! [:)].. his music takes you to other worlds, I swear..

I listen to Hans Zimmer, Garbage or Linkin Park

It is infact ants who are the true rulers of this world!!!

I listen to a lot of film scores:

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (John Williams, duh! [;)])
Spy Game (composed by Harry Gregson-Williams, who also did the score for Metal Gear Solid 2)
Planet of the Apes (Danny Elfman)
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Howard Shore)
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (Eliot Goldenthal)
Minority Report (John Williams)

If I get bored, I just listen to whatever's on the radio.

We like a man who comes right out and says what he thinks - when he agrees with us.

Im listening to switchkicker 'drown' ova and ova and ova

Im chillin' to the sounds of Morcheeba right no. :P
Also Gomez, Gerling, the Cure, Massive Attack, White Stripes, The Vines, Avalanches, Silverchair, Portishead, Radiohead..... list goes on...

Bouncy_roo: David Bowie rocks. I loved Labrynth (not as much as dark crystal though)

Beasta: I went to the Portishead concert in Brisvegas, it was excellent. I managed to score private box seats too. :P
As for Jazz well Miles Davis is on my playlist so thers safety in numbers now budddy. [;)]

Heh, I usually tune out if I'm listening through speakers, but headphones on generally means that not as much work gets done.

Ethan Watson, teh brand spankin' new Krome employee.

So the question now becomes: Speakers or Headphones?

Although the more interesting question would be what was the best live gig of a band that people have been to?

yeah malus, that portishead concert was the last concert i had been to, and before that it was the cure out at boondal, in 92 i think.I had ear infections in both ears and had go to work at 5am afta the cure concert, certainly one i wont forget..
Massive attack tickets are being purchased today...yippee...

A friend just recently bought me the 12 inch of the cures' standing on the beach the singles, i dont know if unfortuantely for her they said if i could get the warp out of it, it cld be worth sum money, altho it only cost her 10 bucks. I got the warp out and it plays fine. i only have that and disentergration on vinyl and about 3 new order blue mondays and a new order album, which hang out with the ah ha records ( forgot how to spell them and cant be bothered diggin )
wish i had gone to the beth orton concert, i worked at the tivoli for a bit last year behind the bar, it wasnt very good tho, altho i got to work when the vines played ( not that i am a fan) and i got to work when , sheesh i cant remeer the guys name, but while he was over here he did a qut add???? hes pretty old and scotish or ireish or sumthink ahh bob geldof thats the bloke. and i dunno who else i worked there and saw. glad i dont work there anymore as well, it was only a couple of months, about a grands worth on prolly my 3rd group certificate for that financial year ( this one) teehee, that with all my invoices for my psi, im goona get slaughterd by the tax department...despite all the awesome things i can claim on deductions...hehehe

headphones or speakers ehh, guess it depends on how good your cones or drivers, or whatever you want to call them, are for both... im not goona type anymore myself on this subject... except to say that professional monitoring headphones are awesome if you get a decent pair and well hell speakers...so many ppl fawk out large dollars for rubbish.........hmm yeah im not goona say no more. I like both and need both [:)] what ya dont need tho is ppl playin with compressors and dspus and eqs unless they no what they are doin and tell you and blah blah blah....sorry. stop.

Well far far to much Red Hot Chili Peppers.

headphones or speakers??

Comes down to the other people around me and how busy they are. But if you have a sub you have to use it.
