Are you talking of THE Sting. The guy who has such love songs full
of harmony and feeling-good-in-gereral? The one with "When we dance",
"Fields of Gold", "If I ever gonna loose my Faith in You", "It's
probably
me", "English Man in New York" and much more (his greatest hits CD out
now, called Sting 1984-1994, available in any good record store)? That
kind of music fits your SR campaign? Are your PCs some human-lovers or
hippies or from the UB or what?
Why do you think it is good for SR?

Just listen to the 'Bring on the night' songs, like 'burn for you' or
'king of pain'. If you're looking for dark and depressing songs you'll
find them here.

It prompts over emotions other that kill, kill, kill in the players and thus
their characters. The character are therefore tend to behave in a more
realistic and human way. This doesn't mean they don't 'kill, kill, kill' as
well, the sting music makes for a more rounded game.

The second reason for using this kind of mello music is that you can still
concentrate whilst playing.

Seals first album :SEAL is another good one.


Cheers,

Matt Dunne.
