Radio Neath - Echo Bazaar soundtracks

owlor · February 6, 2012, 1:40am

Yeah, I know that this exists, but I was thinking, do people have any music they like to listen too while playing Echo Bazaar, or in general songs that inspire people and their character or remind them about Fallen London? I put together this playlist of my own songs that reminds me of Echo Bazaar, some obscure, some not.

EDIT: I added the suggestions I’ve gotten so far to the list, this is looking out to e a really good list of music,

The two songs that remind me most of Echo Bazaar are both from musicals. The Riddle from The Scarlet Pimpernel and No Place Like London from Sweeney Todd (cheesy I know).

Me and you, Watson - Alec Ounsworth (mostly because it played in that steampunk-episode of Castle and since then I’ve affiliated it with my dear Lee Tinkerer)
Eye of the Storm - Lovett
Eyes on Fire - Blue foundation
The Clockyard - Abney Park

That’s about it, really. Most of the connections are the kind I can’t explain in words though.

The more-modern versions of “Facade” from Jekyll & Hyde (the musical) remind me of Fallen London, in a coarse fashion…

Hadestown - Anais Mitchell
Panic - Puppini Sisters
Marvelous Things - Eisley

Nice additions! Yeah, its the same for me as well, for mosto f mine its just something about the sound that has a fallen london feel. For these the conenctions are (24), the attitude to death in Fallen London, here itsn ot unusual to stumble on murder mysteries, permanent or not and (25) just all the things you can do in Fallen London, wihich became evident in the wrapup party, one person is driven insane, the other advances trough society. also, “standing on a bridge” makes me think of the flith. (26) Dreams of milkand honey, made me think of honey dreams.I was thinknig of including “Wild honey pie” by the beatles, but its really a bit too use as a soundtrack. (27-28) Emelie authumn does pretty effed up victorian-inspired music already, I’m surprised it did not come up earlier. (29), not all Abney Park song fits Fallen London, just the vast majority of them… (30), clockwork dolls is another band where most of their songs fit, espesically since they lean more towards the “neovictorian” side than the steampunk side. (31.) because nothing says Fallen London like gangsta rap, right? Allright this is a silly one, but might amuse some people. (32) With all the strange things going on in FL, this seemed to fit…

24. Did she jump or was she pushed? - Richard Thompson
25. funny the way it is - Dave Matthews band
26. Dreams of Milk and honey -mountains
27. Miss Lucy had some leeches - Emelie Authumn
28. Gentlemen aren’t nice - Emelie Authumn
29. Victorian vigilante - Abney Park
30. The ballad of black jezebel - clockwork dolls
31. Jekyll & Hyde - Theoretics
32. The Gods Are Not Crazy - Leslie Fish

owlor · February 9, 2012, 6:19pm

Yes, I am really happy with how this thread is going, a few replies and already we have a pretty good collection of nice, sugestive, offbeat music.

narcissus_echo · February 9, 2012, 7:44pm

Oh! And some time ago, the ravishing ErisFnord was kind enough to put together a playlist for my character and his housemates in their Bazaar bookshop. http://8tracks.com/erisfnord/the-bookshop-boys Wonderful mix!

alerane · February 10, 2012, 12:08am

I see my suggestions did not make the list. Is this because they lack links or for lack of quality?

owlor · February 10, 2012, 12:31am

No, both where excellent choices, it’s just that the suggestions that already followed the list format where easier to copy and paste, and I had to put them at the end anyway in order to not screw up the numbering, so I just put it off and forgot about them, sorry! Lets take care of te unnumbered ones I’ve missed:

The Riddle - Scarlet Pimpernel
49. London - Sweeney Todd
Facade - Jekyll & Hyde
51. Do you hear the people sing - Les Miserables (For those that sympatizes with the Revolutionaries…)

Random tangentially related video: here is a link to a very Neathian dance version of St. Vincent’s “Paris is Burning,” as seen on “So you think you can Dance.” I love the costumes, especially for the men.

Lovely! I agree on the costumes, those are stylish. Considering how easy it is to become insane down here, I’dnt

53. The doctors Wife -clockwork quartet
54. Dirty old Town -Ewan MacColl

Fixed, and also, I was wondering when we’d get some voltaire on the list. I am a big fan of his stuff, he’s got an unique style and a sense of humour. He’s one of those artist where it’s hard to choose a specific song for the list cus most of his stuff could fit Fallen London in some way…

arielbaron · February 10, 2012, 10:04am

Glad to see a Tom Waits track on the list! Just didn’t expect “Step Right up” as the song of choice…

owlor · February 10, 2012, 10:35am

You got a suggestion for another Tom Waits song to include? I can’t choose, there’s so many good ones…
Also, I really like the addition of asong form Professor Layton, those games rock (cartoons, logic and reason, three things I love in one game series…)

Sure do! Though… Let me mix it up to give variety.

Orphan Feast theme
God’s Away on Business - Tom Waits (I always imagine this theme when I see the Oppertunity cards with the Tom Waits looking demons in bowler hats)
The Cat is Dead - Danny Elfman (For some reason, this is what I think of when I play the Pass the Cat game when I think the cat is dead)
Flash Pan Hunter (Intro) - Tom Waits
Things aren’t what they appear - Gothic Archies (This is not the complete song, but it still fits. Love the song completely since I have it on cd.)
Looking through the window - Mirrormask soundtrack
Winter - Paul Halley
Bobinsky - Bruno Coulais
Fawn - Tom Waits
Mice and Massacre - Alejandro Jadorowsky

Thre’s a surprising lot of musical songs on the list now…

alerane · February 10, 2012, 2:39pm

Everything is better with a big spectacular musical number~
