Music that you associate with a particular AAR

[Nuada Airgetlám]

I recalled a track I was listening to while reading an AAR, namely the paganism-themed experimental track Heilung - Alfadhirhaiti . So then I recalled the Old Germanic AAR I had been reading - [WTWSMS] A New Home- The Crimean Goths by @MandarinB . So that's how I got the idea for this thread.

If you have associated any music with a given AAR, or the other way around, here's a thread to post about it.

When I was writing one of my earlier AARs, A History of Lord Roger de Courseulles and his successors - a Somerset AAR back from CK1 days I happened to write it whilst listening the track Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass on single repeat. The two are therefore somewhat linked in my brain.

My mega-campaign was written almost entirely to Lamb of God. So their older albums usually bring me back to all that time spent on maps and stuff.

On the flip side I do most of my reading from work so I tend not to do much music listening there, I rarely associate music to my reading but almost always associate music with my writing.

Thus music is awesome.

I do not tend to listen to music as I write nor as I read. I dislike the distraction. However, I can say that I do listen to music often as I play. And outside of "ye olde" Fa-la-la-lan of olden days, the only other that always comes back to me is Bjork. I spent an unhealthy period of time playing a game as Russia in EU2 just after a Christmas one year, and my sister had given me four albums of her work. They pretty much went on continual rotation for about...oh, 400 years.

Good times!

Oy!

I have very good friends that may enjoy this as a sound to play with. This is not one of them for me. Sorry.

Not that you or anyone else wishes to look back on this at this late date, but this AAR (Santa Ana is Drunk, And So Am I: A Drinking AAR) suggests a few other bits of music I have used while playing (and even writing at that point.) Granted, it was a drinking AAR.

This wasn't Nuada's original question however, so we have gone far afield. Still...an interesting subset of said question.

This brings back bad memories. Once i did a Dark Souls 2 drinking game, alone. Everytime i paried someone i would drink a full cup of whisky (white horse) in one shot. I got one, went from sober to a bit drunk, 5 minutes later i got another pary, i went from bit drunk to absolutely devastated. I left the console running, vomited my bed, my toilet, and passed out in the same bed. When i woke up someone had cleaned the toilet, i never discovered who. Absolutely horrendous.

Listen to this:

I certainly don't mind the topic being broadened a bit. It's interesting to see how ye all link music with Paradox gaming and other things. Thus far, I've mostly been content to listen to the in-game music while playing.
