I use a lot of industrial (Ministry, Die Krupps, Gravity Kills etc.) for
clubs and combat, but have a lot of music for many occasions.

The "Aliens" ST is a must for any venture into Bug City or moving
through the sewers of Seattle.

Its hard to go to Aztlan without the already metnioned Desparado ST, or
a popular Maricachi <sp> group called the Gypsy Kings.

Something else we have done is make tape recordings of automatic weapons
fire and car chases of sound effects CDs. We have three stereos going at
once and an extremely gratifying effect (when circumstances call for it)
is to play something like Ministry, with the two tapes going. It makes
it a little harder to communicate, but the overall effect is very cool
and seems to charge everyone up.

PS--The only music we haven't touched (and won't as long as we play
under my roof with me as the GM) is country and rap.
