Title: Music that acceptable for x-com atmosphere.
Post by: Xtendo-com on April 08, 2016, 02:54:14 pm

I'm looking for a music that can be used in order to enhance an atmosphere of x-com. Maybe someone known a good examples? I found that "Addams Family Values for Sega Genesis" has a some good dark ambient tracks that acceptable for geoscape in x-com (example (https://project2612.org/details.php?id=470#07-sea-of-cursed-trees)). May be you found something that can be acceptable for x-com atmosphere?

There are so many possibilities, I don't know where to start :) For example:

All Half-Life games have great ambient music, sometimes more actiony.
Daikatana is worth a mention too, though it's less ambient and more traditional game music.
Doom remixes never get old, though they're mostly prominent.
Jeremy Soule is a very competent composer of non-offensive background motives, he worked on games such like The Elder Scrolls series, Dawn of War or Company Of Heroes.

These are just off the top of my head.

I noticed that SWAT Target Liberty subway mission has a track similar to X-COM Battlescape.

In attachment ripped preview version, only 30 seconds.
