Anyone have any music suggestions for making a run into cyberspace?? (i.e. - when you are dodging systems security, etc.) I prefer pulsating synth music such as: ---> Sexcrime (1984) - The Eurythmics ---> Doubleplusgood - The Eurythmics ---> Hot Doggies - Colourbox ---> Black Planet - Sisters of Mercy ---> Excellent Birds - Laurie Anderson

Music for venturing into cyberspace? - anything by Michael Garrison (a romantic-synthesizer fellow from the Pacific Northwest). - anything by Jean-Michel Jarre (a romantic-synthesizer fellow from Paris). But especially anything from Oxygene or Equinoxe. The second side of Magnetic Fields is good for William Gibson's journeys through Chiba City.

Well, no suggestions, really, but I've been doing a little cyber punk based filk. I see cyber stuff as heavy bass run rock, sort of heavy metal R&B like it was done in the early 60's (Real early Fleetwood Mac, Yardbirds, Led Zep, Black Sabbath sort of stuff.). I use lots of Em's, since it's a very bassy chord, and easy to do runs on, and catching the off beats with a 'lay the little finger across the strings on the 3'd fret' sort of mute, sometimes catching the harmonics there. Music isn't easy to dump to the net, but I'll see if one set of lyrics will work... <Chorus> Can't you hear me calling. Can't you hear me calling you. Can't you hear me calling you back to me. I remember the first time we met. How could I ever forget. I remember every word that you said. I remember it yet. You told me all about the world you could see, I told you all about mine. Now you say that you are leaving me. Why do you leave me behind? <chorus> And I remember how the days went by. Seemed we're together all the time For in the moments you were not on line, You were still on my mind. With every nano-second I could get. In every byte I could steal. Remembered every word you ever said. I made them seem so real. <chorus> Came the time when I had finally learned. Learned what you spoke of. I knew the passion that within me burned, I knew I'd learned to love. Had to tell you how I felt for you, Say just how I feel. You turned away, said it could not be true. Love ain't encoded in crystals and steel. <chorus> Months have passed, and you won't talk to me. Don't hear a word I say. But I keep searching through the systems links, I know I'll find you some day. You told me all about the world you could see, I told you all about mine. Now you think that you are leaving me. But, you can't leave me behind. Can't you hear me calling. Can't you hear me following you. Can't you hear me calling you back to me. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Opinions are my own. I can't imagine why anyone else would want them.

As far as the music to listen to "...when you are dodging systems security.." I am a fan of Industrial Music. "What?" you ask? Well it is music that is made electronically that has a solid, hard, fastpace beat. Groups such as Front 242, Skinny Puppy, and Ministry fall into these catagories. This type of music is guarenteed to make your heartbeat triple, you forehead begin to break sweat, and make the whole issue a do-or-die situation...

I'm really not sure what type of music fits the Cyberpunk vein but with all the Tangerine Dream and Mannhein Steamroller being suggested I feel safe in suggesting "As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls" by Pat Metheny. If you like this, give "First Circle" a try (also Pat Metheny). It's completely different from Wichita but awesome just the same.
gordon@bu-cs.BU.EDU (Gordon Lee) (01/23/88)
I am ASTOUNDED that no one has yet mentioned the group which
in my mind best captures the spirit of cyberpunk:
Cabaret Voltaire ! (hear: Pabst Blue Ribbon! )
"The Sword, the Covenant, and the Long Arm of the Lord"
"Microphonies"
Perhaps we attach the most value to those records which we happen to
play the most while reading. But still, Cabaret Voltaire have some
of the coolest video footage around. MONDO BIZZARO!
Their sense of the alien comes as close to the razor edge schtick
of cyberpunk as any musical troup. If I could make the decision,
I would have them do the sountracks for any film versions, FIERCE
competition for Tangerine Dream and Vangelis in the category of
mood creation.
Speaking of alien, how about some Alien Sex Fiend.
And definitely Front 242, and recent efforts by Ministry for cripe sake.

My first thoughts in response to this topic were that, in a world dominated by big business (market only what sells) and government (regulate anything you, the elected, don't like), the only music available on the air would be contemporary versions of Whitney Houston and Phil Collins. Underground bands could survive, but only on a local basis. In article <8671@ism780c.UUCP> jimh@ism780c.UUCP (Jim Hori) writes: >Knowing Gibson's appreciation of reggae... I must agree on this point, however. The world gets "smaller" every day. In Gibsons (or Dicks) smaller world, popular music would likely be music more worldly, i.e. popolar in places other than north america, europe and japan, such as reggae.

Underground (gag! a fate worse than death) >bands could survive, but only on a local basis. Actually, I'd think otherwise. As technology expands the dissemination of information seems to expand with it. Look at the availability of movies now that vcrs are common. Any movie is available, not just what the theatre's are showing. There are also video companies that release only on video and not on the big screen making it possible for more movies to be made than previously. The same is true with music. The technology movement going on in music is making it possible for any band to cut an album of very high quality for real cheap. Being closely linked with local bands and underground music I've seen the effect of $500 4-track recorders, midi-interfaces, and pc's being used for patching and sequencing. I'm expecting an explosion of new music any year now, and actually experiencing it to some degree. I expect that in the future, your home entertainment system will be hooked up to your personal computer. Movies, music, games, programs, etc will be stored and retrieved at your will. I also expect networks to become common in the home. Right now, you probably have a lot of information being pumped into your home at 9600 baud over your cable line, I do. This will probably be expanded as technology grows to be 2 way and possibly nicer than usenet. If the above are just files, I could see movies, albums, etc being sent over these nets, or from bbs's even. The only problem would be for bands to collect money in this method. But think about if you did it shareware wise. Instead of paying for an album manufactured by some inbetween record company, you could send a fraction of the album cost directly to the band and download the album yourself... I think information may really flow in the future. Just look at how public domain(and not so public domain) software and images are spreading on BBS's and USENET and other comercial networks like GENIE. I couldn't believe how my game spread across the country from the middle of nowhere in a couple of weeks! any comments? --j -- jon wesener ... {seismo | harvard | ihnp4} ! {uwvax | cs.wisc.edu} ! astroatc!jojo "if it makes you happy, it will make you weak..."
