Let's see who all follows me on all this.
Music isn't a standard practice with me so this is what the =
occasional music play could go like.

- General ambient background music -
Akira soundtrack
Bladerunner soundtrack (Vangelis version)
Crow (score)
Black Aria by Glen Danzig
Drawings of O.T. by Einstürzende Neubauten
Passion by Peter Gabriel
Interview with a Vampire soundtrack (except the last song)
Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks - Fire Walk with Me
Deep Forest by Deep Forest
Bubblegum Crisis soundtracks and any other Anime type albums

- Specific moods / more dominance for listening -
Outside by David Bowie
anything by Cabaret Voltaire
Ice T and/or Body Count
Johnny Mnemonic soundtrack
anything by Joy Division
Anything by Ministry post-Twitch (although Twitch is good too)
Mortal Kombat soundtrack
early Skinny Puppy
Crow soundtrack
anything by Nine Inch Nails
(the Quake "soundtrack" is good so I've been told)
Portishead, Tricky, or Ruby (trip-hop and such)
Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, or Orbital
Clan of Xymox by Xymox
First and Last and Always by Sisters of Mercy
Oil and Gold by Shreikback
Sex Pistols, Repo Man soundtrack, and any old school punk
Goth Box compilation from Cleopatra records is also very good

I don't know if it helped but it gives a slight insight into my music =
tastes at least. What works really does depend on your tastes. I =
always thought Happiness is a Warm Gun by the Beatles would be a good =
tune for a "Shadowrun soundtrack".

it could be used against them.
