Depressing 80s british rock.During climatic scenes, switch up with Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force.The soundtrack to Last of the Mohicans also works well during the later parts and of course, the Midnight Syndicate makes great mood music. I also love a perfect circle's second album while writing, so it might be ideal when gaming.Region B. Raiders of the Lost Ark. Duh.Region C. Switch it up from Peter Gabriel to Black Eyed Peas to Slayer (their more recent material) to Garbage to the Aliens soundtrack to Skunk Anasie. Region D. Heavy metal and anything with a slow, heavy beat. Trent reznor also works. Judas Priest British Steel is a must.Region E. Industrial music. Ministry, KMFDM, NIN, and a host of others. People with more knowledge of industrial music can help on this. The soundtrack to Strange Days was okay. Tank Girl was good as well.Region F. This is a tough one. Anything discordant and confusing works best. Tori Amos, Bjork, Fugazi's later work, Dilinger Escape Plan, Fake Train, and Queens of the Stone Age's R album. Hindu music and chinese folk songs are really distracting as well.Region G. Classical music, chants, operas, and so on. The sound track to Lord of the Rings works. I'm especially partial to Rimsky-Korsikov, Liszt, Schubert, Tchiakovsky, Dvorak, Vivaldi, and Biset. Ludwig's work when he was deaf is perfect here too.Region H. Nature music, with hints of dark undertones. Anything by Danny Elfman. Vivald's four seasons works here.Region I and M. Soundtrack to Halloween. Also gothic music. There are about 800+ bands that want to wallow in their own self-pity. Pick one.Region J. Again. Heavy metal (real metal, pre-83) and sounds of hammers and anvils are great. Grindcore and thrash metal are good here as the PCs should always be afraid. Husker Du's landspeed record.Region K. Eiree sounds here. Because the region is built around the dragon, there should be moments of sheer panic. Danny Elfman's slower songs. Perhaps soem grunge. Alice in Chains has some darker pieces as does Soundgarden and Tad. Mudhoney's less humorous songs might work. The cranberries, pixies, frank black, bob mould, firehose (not firehouse), primus, a perfect circle, iron maiden's seventh son of a seventh son, tears of the sun soundtrack, plattoon soundtrack, miracle mile soundtrack, kill bill soundtrack (the final fight scene) and anything by rush are also good additions. Region L. The soundstrack to Patrick Stewart's version of Moby Dick, the score to titanic, abyss, and movies where isolation and mood outweigh action. I didn't see the movie, but perhaps Master and Commander had a good score.Region N. Punk. Black flag (w/ Rollins), the exploited, husker du (new day rising), minutemen, tool, boltthrower (if you can find it), old bad religion, old fugazi, old pennywise, minor threat, rage against the machine, bad brains, and anything from the DC hardcore scene.Region O. I wouldn't play much music in Region O, except perhaps something scary during key moments. Black Sabbath's Mob Rules is a good album here, though.you may notice the lack of emo, pop, rap, r&b, country, adult contemporary, and hip-hop.with the exception of jazz and marvin gaye, i don't know much about these genres. i really don't see nelly or blink 182 as good mood music, anyway.as i understand it, hal mangold (at green ronin) is the most knowledgable music fan in gaming and he might create a better list of bands that none of us has ever heard of.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
