Godspeed You! Black Emperor- Storm
Social Distortion- Story of My Life
Sonic Youth- Dirty Boots
Pixies- Debaser
Tom Jones- What's New Pussycat
Bloc Party - Eating Glass
Kavinsky - Wayfarer (perfect 80's sound that fits the game nicely)

Sparks - #1 song in heaven

Can't go wrong with Dropkick Murphys. Fighting 69th and Rocky Road to Dublin were nice.

Nice!! I give those a shot. Thanks. I should mention that I played to beethoven's Ave Maria, and that was pretty much just the game throwing everything at you. Not my favorite but hits all the shooter itchs and really adds a haunting feel to it.

But seriously I've played quite a bit with my library on a variety of songs. And so far nothing touchs Aerodynamic.

Social Distortion- Story of My Life

I tried playing Storm by Godspeed You! Black Emperor just for kicks. It is a 22 minute epic song.
The first thing that comes at you is a corridor down the middle and three or four of those things that block the whole screen (circle with the lines that go across) on one of the sides. With significantly underpowered weapons I have yet to get past that point without loosing a life. I haven't finished the whole song, but I plan on trying with more than three lives when I have more time to spare.

You have a good taste in music

I que'd up the 'requiem for a dream' main score. The level is as intense as the song.

Wow, that's the first song I'm gonna try, thanks for reminding me about that. I watched the tsunami footage on youtube on mute and it was pretty intense. My girl and I watched the one with requiems song and was white knuckle gripping the fricking chair. The song made that much difference.

[Rocketman919]

dont even try "What Ever Happened" by The Strokes, its unbeatable. These giant things swing by the bottom and are unavoidable.

[Coral]

I didn't expect there to be any other Godspeed fans on TA.

Does anyone have any ideas on what affects the level creation? It would be really cool to find out if dynamics, tempo, etc. correspond similarly even with different songs.

[Will090]

The Ace of Spades by Motorhead is a good one

[Joshn]

Underworld - Born Slippy is pretty nice

[Fu3lRac3r]

I'm sure that developers cant use the iPhone SDK to read the actual music data from your iPod library. The API can only output simple music info such as artist, track ect to the application as far as I know.
Please let me know If I'm wrong. I think It would be awesome If space invaders actually mapped the coarse using "dynamics, tempo, etc. "

Moved in from another thread...

So have we found a most fitting song yet? Because I think I have one, if it hasn't already been mentioned.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTw2YvutJRA

I don't know how it could possibly get any better than that.

...I'm not sure how hard it is, but the music certainly fits.

That sounds awesome and you can't beat the reference to killing invaders. Have you generated the level yet?? I personally love the levels with lots of physical obstacles; Tunnels, walls, overlapping objects..

[wootbean]

get rid of zombieville

[le'deuche123]

Uhmmm....wrong thread man!

[drelbs]

My favorite so far (and it generates a great level to play on)

We've Lost Engine No. 2 by Naked Intruder, album: The Bad Method

And an obvious one: ;)

Invaders by Iron Maiden, album: Number of the Beast

I just tried it, and it seemed pretty fun to me o.o I haven't had the game for long so I can't judge how good or bad it is.

Also, I just thought of another one that could fit very easily, in fact.

Perfect. Ima try it now.

Well I just put everything in a list on the first page, and included Invaders must die. Let me know if the DJ fresh level is any good and I'll add it to the list.

Humm, Invaders Must die had -lots- of tunnels, but X Project didn't really have any. I -do- recommend it just because of how fun it is to listen to the song while playing.

Uhmmm....wrong thread man!

:rolleyes::rolleyes: don't know how that happened
