In tribute to Kevin Ayers, who has passed away... a very talented man!

Not suitable for deep space... but a music trigger when you hit atmo or land... 😉

This was doing the rounds on the Frontier forum a while back. Some wanted this as Elite Dangerous theme.

That has always been one of my favourite tunes. When the first episode of THHGTTG hit the airwaves, I had no idea what it was about - but when I heard that intro theme, I knew it was going to be something very special. DA had excellent taste in music - and he liked it loud!

I recently finished this game:  http://www.emhsoft.com/singularity/

I liked his soundtrack so much, that I'm listening to it all the time. 🙂

Another krautrock musician that I discovered recently

Michael Hoenig

This was doing the rounds on the Frontier forum a while back. Some wanted this as Elite Dangerous theme.

I never heard the long version. Wow! I must have it. 🙂

At first it seemed the music of Firefly ... but then came the famous melody: "The hitchhiker's guideeeee!"  :biggrin:

I never heard the long version.

I have to chuckle at the 'long version' label - that is the original version from the One of These Nights album.

But you don't know that I am completely ignorant about The Eagles!  :unsure:  😳

Sorry Tichy - I was referring to the title/label on the youtube clip itself, not your post.

Not only that, but it should be Eagles, not The Eagles.

I'm actually a bit disappointed there isn't some Banjo 'n Fiddle on a game called Pioneer!! Not Country or Western so much as some OLD school folk music... wagon train of settlers jamming by the cookfire sort of thing...

How  about some bluegrass-style music, by Old & in the Way!

holger is a unique exponent, no?

---

well neuralkernel, never thought anyone else would like "banjo & guitar"...

or you probably missed this one

and you know what...

I LOVE TRUE AFFECTION

cody - even that,

old & in the way, well actually it let's me feel i am...

---

i "received right now" this one,

must be from a far out place, judged by the bad quality and the static noise

(and never ask me, i miss this since a alpha or two before this clip was made

i never quite understood..., anyway this is already what we have now, the beginning of the end? or a new start?

ah, doesn't matter)

yes i do wonder how this "static noise" got on the server of youtube,

must have chosen exactly this clip, to give it the proper atmosphere.

ONE FROM THE VAULT

by watching the clip i have to say, "let's get a little further back in time"

(with wacky music)

this was what we had, and i played pioneer quite often, really often, i made a good job as a bountyhunter.

probably a little bit to easy, but at least you wasn't melted in seconds to a piece of junk.

hard enough for some as i remember, i feel that was right, a little to easy for old elite cracks,

but all the nubes i guess had troubles enough.

it was told to me that the "new" A.I. is to master, i only never found out how, neither i have seen how it's made,

i would like to see that at least, then i can guess, "ok, gernot you are only a bad to mediacre pilot and it is to master".

---

but it was fun, fun, fun

and i will never , really never forget the situations in my "tie fighter" (unfortunately no clip of such) more then once i was streaked by the enemy

and my poor "Tie" was hurled steerless through the open space, this is FUN in my opinion.

but to train with the actual A.I. is like you would like to make a fight with "Andy Hug", it's not recommended.

and guess how many stories we would have to tell each other...

clips to show off,

well i guess i would give in exchange all my FE2 ships, for such.

Some Family Entertainment for y'all.

Re: 'ONE FROM THE VAULT'

I'm really impressed that you can fight like that in external view. If there was a multiplayer version of Pioneer I'd be toast!

he, he, i'm used to, or i was used to fight in outside view.

i don't know it's likewise driving, i can better concentrate on or didn't loose so quick depth feeling.

to compare again to a racing sim "i look beyond the horizon", or at least concentrate on it.

i had this "suicide" situation saved for a long time and it needed a lot of attempts to manage this, three i guess, heavy armed ships.

haven't been in such situations yet anymore, besides i guess it was a slightly altered pirates script i used then and

chances to get attacked was high, but only in bad policed systems.

but the scripts have changed a lot since then and i never tried to "screw" on one of the new.

---

i guess that's why we like it single player 😉

but of course a "dogfight mode" would be something cool, but further i wouldn't go.

would be then like a alternative game mode, two players dogfight in a random environment.

it would be a idea to "unlock" ships (or equipment) according to a players experience/shots?...

---

actually i didn't fight often and if i get in a situation like in a scout mission that one follows me to orbit,

i "force him" to "land"...

==> going tested these rear outside view dogfight  , never think to used this one  :gamer:

matter of choice, and which you are used to

but anyway looks better in a clip 😉

Green Grass and High Tides!

many versions exist of this one, take your choice.

---

<- i always wonder why one disables comments, not to clear to me.

to sad, because if comments are disabled, obviously you can't ask why 😉

---

heard, the tune (plenty of nothing) on our jazz channel, actually they play a lot of good music, if one likes jazz and swing.

let's get nuts,

some might humm along with...

but i humm along with that

hrmpf...

i really thought you find everything on youtube, well not everything, i guess i have to record and upload the tune first,

it's a drummers version of cocktails for two which i really like and it's a real earwig for me.

more music, more music...

(folks, i could fill a evening easy)

no "must like", but i stumbled over the outlaws resp. masonrodgersband "trail of tears" and i thought "know the title, but the tune is different, quite different"

forgive me, those guys are part of my family or vice versa i'm part of their family, however.

"dedicated to dear hildegard"

---

ok, ok, another one i have to upload...

seems i'm a little luckless today

---

@cody

great guitar music, why doesn't i know them already?

to much folk, jazz and classical music in my collection?

probably.

@cody

 

great guitar music...

The Outlaws? Yeah, you can't beat a quality twin-guitar attack -  Wishbone Ash were good at that.

oh, well 🙂

"i used to be a warrior"

i know this record well, it's certainly part of my collection, usually on my SDRAM, i carry everywhere.

fortunately both songs are on the jukebox in our billard club.

unfortunately it's else a little stupid selection on it.

the box belongs to NSM, they are from danmark and many danish music on it which tells us in switzerland a shit.

the rest is a typical show off of their shedule.

thus you find a few songs of janis, jimmy, jim or carlos.

but you won't find one piece of the dead, as if they would have never existed.

wishbone ash, yes, some uriah heep

but it's all like skimmed milk.

unfortunately the box stands in a club where "rockers" meet...

times have changed 😉

even them listen to techno now

ok it's zurich, techno is born in berlin and zurich, no wonder they flip out on it.

there would exist another bar the "Stray Cat", name was once program, it's a old gas station (what else).

they have a quite good web based juke box, but even there, if you don't continue to select the titles they vanish.

further it's not allowed to smoke, like overall zurich now, with exception for private clubs, like our billard club

(billard is not the only reason why we meet there ).

if your spaceship ever leads you to zurich, meet us please

it's called "Neugasshof" and not hard to find if you ask the people on the street, everyone knows it.

but be warned, some hate it, some love it.

besides, the cops are no good friends of us...

---

times have really changed, 10years ago, still the harleys stood in front of the door,

now the harleys stand in front of "zur(e)ich versicherungen", "axa" or "ubs".

yet another friend of our family,

you neither won't find much of him on youtube (but some).

the picture didn't fits really, but it shows at least the proper guy,

i have no album covers on the macbook.

i remember, when they came here for a few gigs they slept in our house, responsible for that was dear hildegard.

my mother liked to explain them what "kräuter" is (a brandy), she said it's made of "herbs", pop wonders and said;

"yours make brandy of herbs (weed)?"

they havent a good reputation here, country fans here in switzerland can't identify themself with music like pop plays it.

to sad.

of course it's no "nashville country"...

but they (and many others) should finally get the wax out of their ears.

---

today is really a "bad day", i can search for a title of a well known artist like elvis costello and won't find it...

(fortunatly) this clearly contradicts to what i said once that music has become so cheap,

because it's everywhere available, well not all the music.

though, i have to "dig out my record player" (no, most is already on my machine) and upload that to youtube.

no good place to listen to records where i live right now, small flat with bowed wooden floors, not really good to place a record player.

it will only hurt my records, there is not much matter i won't give away or i hang on, but records are something different for me.

a sort of a holy thing.

each has it's own little history, not to replace with downloaded music.

even not to replace with a CD or DVD, in no case.

whishbone ash i own three of them, vinyls of course.

"Wishbone Ash" is one of my oldest records i own, i guess since 17, it's really in a bad condition.

it has helped the "greaser" to understand rock music.

"Argus" i inherited from a hippiepunk, as well as "Pilgrimage".

he used to exchange records he got from i don't know for a spliff.

he had good connections to the "underground" in zurich, but visited me from time to time for a bong.

fair, he never wanted something for free, if he haven't had money, then a record or a book,

(in this way i got to the "book of dead", it was in a bad condition and i fixed the back with a linnen, looking good now)

if not, he cleaned up my mess for a spliff.

funny, he used to smoke all in one poke, no matter how much i gave him.
