Ow ow ow! The same thing every five seconds over and over and over and over and over and over and over! My artistic sensitivities have never been so sore. )-:
Might we try something with a semblance of a melody next time?

Pretty much my impressions, as well. I lasted about the first minute of this before it started feeling like I was listening to some kind of large construction equipment working. Never was a fan of that kind of music.|

Of course, if we're going to be talking about music in the game to begin with, we first need to make the whole thing worth unmuting my music volume, because what's in the game, between zone travel and ambient mood music is terrible. The few good tunes, such as that inside Yin's Market are not worth turning game music back on when most of the time the "music" is not worth listening to.

I have an exotic suggestion for you to mix it up a bit, then. It may be repetitive, but not mind-numbingly so.

Sound for the sake of sound tends to go that way. Even if you have a very short tune, you can repeat it indefinitely and still keep things interesting. Especially when you mix orchestra and techno elements together. (-:
I think you may get a kick out of this one.

Seriously, relax.
I enjoyed the music, linked it and thought it was cool to share with others. If you don't like it and it's not your thing, that's okay...I'm not being a music-tatorship or anything. Chillax. You like your stuff, I like mine...and I love all sorts of music. Just happened to like this one.

Why stop at the music? Let's just set up giant projectors in the dance clubs and play TRON: Legacy on loop.

would be cool if we could get some artists to make some nice music for Pocket D and Studio 55 to cycle through than just repeating the same one minute track over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Sorry, but when it comes to movie soundtracks and dance mixes nothing beats the Mortal Kombat sound track.

My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
That Derezzed song is too good, Daft Punk needs to tone it down. Everytime I hear it I start doing This

Are you going to rename Pocket D "Captain Quaalude's"? Because, seriously, of all the songs in Tron, that one is ZZZzzzZZZzzzz....

I hadn't noticed actually, when did they change it? I love Daft Punk, and all of their music in Tron, so this is double-win for me. Now they need to add 2 teched up DJ's, it would be an awesome geek reference.
Again - since we only have one option for Music Volume, better music in the D will only be relevant if we have better music everywhere. And, really, we have an audio guy now. He's the one who made (found/added/dunno) the new footstep sounds. Can we not spring a little cash for a decent soundtrack? It doesn't have to be Daft Punk or Iron Maiden or the Spice Girls, but just something that I don't keep seeing on various History Channel programmes would be nice.

It's the style of music. Do you fault Bossa Novas and Baroque music for being repetative?

I have thought for years that Pocket D was simply crying out for some Daft Punk. At any rate, it sure does need some new music, and this would be great. |

One of the most under appreciated things in CoX is the music. Maybe because we hear it all the time. Far superior than the Tron soundtrack IMHO. It's copyrighted also. That fact alone makes it impossible to use without licensing fees.
Although AE has enough copyright infringements to give George Lucas a heart attack. Just do a search for Star Wars, Tron, whatever in AE. Player created or not. You can't use the names Yoda, Star Wars, etc... In a commercial environment such as this... NCsoft walk a dangerous line with this and eventually will come back to haunt them.
Anyway- Even the Pocket D club music is better. Just repetitive. Would not mind some more tunes. So much cool stuff could be done. Such as using the new Praetorian events system to bring random events to the club.
Pocket D has a lot of potential. People use it for a meeting hub but there's no real reason to go there and hang out.

Oh, I agree with you. Currently I'm using CoH Splasher to substitute tracks in the D for variety's sake.

I think the music in Pocket D should be replaced with Okey Dokey by the Incredible Bongo Band. The groove is epic.

Of course in my opinion this song actually sort of fits an interdimensional nightclub.
Although this song somewhat suits the setting of Pocket D as well.
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
...and it's from only one movie of 2010....
TRON: Legacy.
