UA music?

    I think David Bowie’s “Outside” is the natural OST for UA games.

    Bets are on!!

    More info about “Ouside”:

    “This complex project touches on the increasing obsession with the human body as art and the paganization of western society. With its package- arts’ broken down style, its haunted sound of ruin and its’ non-linear story line of art, murder and technology, it predates evocatively the new sensibility of movies such as ‘Seven’, ‘Copycat’ and the TV shows, ‘The X-Files’ and ‘Millennium’. As befits the multiphrenic nature of outsider art and emotions, Bowie sings in any number of voices: one minute the melodramatic crooner, another the stylized Londoner, another the quiet, intimate recluse of the Berlin years. Or he is varispeeded between the album’s seven characters: on one song a 14-year-old girl, on another a sleazy 78-year-old, on another a 46-year-old Tyrannical Futurist.”

    Me, I can’t help but think of two Tom Waits songs… “Whistling Past the Graveyard,” and “Wrong Side of the Road.”

    I… that’s damn cool, with Bowie, and all.

    (This is a rather lame first post… for which I apologize. Hell. It’s seven in the morning. Brain no function.)

    I haven’t purchased the game yet due to $ shortages, but I’ve read everything I can get my hands on for free, so I have a general idea of the tone of UA. Thus, I recommend:

    “And the Earth Died Screaming” by Tom Waits

    “Peep Show” (album) by Siouxsie & the Banshees (yes, I know I’m dating myself horribly)

    Any Lacuna Coil album

    “Realm of Chaos” (album) by Bolt Thrower

    “Once in a Lifetime” by Sarah Brightman (kinky & darkly gleeful)

    “Black Aria” (album) by Glenn Danzig

    Outside`s brilliant. I`d also like to recomend the soundtrack from “The million dollar hotel”. It`s a film about a murder taking place i a pre-millionaire hotel, which now is inhabited by various madmen. The music is mostly written by U2`s Bono and Gavin Friday and is lovely psycadelic. Lovely lyrics, and also a spanish cover of sex pistols. “Satelite of love” and “statless” must be heard 😉
