If you can get it, the Mechawarrior 2 soundtrack is cool,plus Babylon 5 is decent for their score.
Various 'escoteric' electronica can also work well (orbital, FLUKE, aphex twins).
It all depends on what mood you want for what 'scene' in your campiagn.

Sometimes even classic sci-fi movie soundtracks can help. A friend of mine gave me a copy of The Day The Earth Stood Still soundtrack, and it is incredible.

You might give some of the following a try:

Paul Oakenfold, especially Tranceport
Future Sound Of London, especially ISDN, and Dead Cities
Chemical Brothers
early stuff from Moby
Fluke
Tracy Lords, especially 1000 Fires
Mentallo and the Fixer, especially Vengence is Mine
Gary Numan and Tubeway Army, particularly the middle period for Numan. I like Berseker, Exile, Metal Rythym, and Telekon, as well as Replicas from Tubeway Army.
Juno Reactor and Psychosonik also have good stuff.

Try a bit of "Drum-n-bass"...

*shudder*

I'm not allowed to shudder: every female player I've had in the last 15 years has been a Enya fan.
The song title is "Orinoco Flow".

Zerebus wrote:Yes, but if I had said Orinoco Flow, no one would know what I was talking about.

I did...or, rather, I would have...

Any of her albums has good songs on them. Orinoco Flow did suffer some overexposure (although I never got tired of it).
I liked her most recent album (can't remember the title), but I hardly use it for games: too mellow.
The album most oftem heard in my campaigns: Mortal Kombat; Annihilation.

All very good choices...I shall have to gather the necessary funds and purchase and/or "aquire" these tracks...

Damn...! all twisted minds DO think alike
Yeah, I'll have to reiterate; the Mortal Kombat Sndtrk's. (there are 3, one was just music that COULD have been in a MK movie) are keen for high action plot-points.
Another that might be good for Starport / spacer bar music, is the FIRST 'Matrix' soundtrack. "Clubbed to death" by Rob-D on that disc is the penultimate "strutting down the street" music for our spacer captain hero

There are also some good tracks from Lords of Acid and Praga Khan.
Also try Gus Gus, Jean Michel Jarre, Ultraviolence, and Daft Punk.

I've been in 1st ed Cyberpunk games where GWAR was the order of the day.
Character motality rate: 100%

Actually, now that I think about it, in exactly 6 out of nine Cyberpunk games (1st ed.), player character mortality rate was 100%. That would include the live action game at a convention, and a table-top convention game involving three GMs and 29 players.

More music:
William Orbit
KMFDM
Danielle Dax
Cubanate
Shriekback
Sigue Sigue Sputnik

Here's some good stuff:

if you're going to listen to Trance techno, Oakenfold should be nowhere near that list.

Yes it does.




Don't let AJ persuade you: Oakenfold. Trance.

Metallica.
