There've been so many FL soundtrack posts on Tumblr, I'm happy to see this thread re-emerge. Personally, I'm surprised no-one's nominated Florence + The Machine, considering how much of her work concerns the themes of exotic colour spectra, death by water, and being overwhelmed by forces beyond mortal control. She has as much to say about willing submission to annihilating passion as the most Bazaar-struck Feast-fiend. edited by Sir Frederick Tanah-Chook on 3/3/2014

*bows* I aim to please ! (and really? The FL community on Tumblr is this organized? I'm afraid I still live on the medieval side of the Internet.) I've only just entered the game, so there are tons and tons of lore I still have to unveil. I'll be glad to add some more songs to the list, provided specific bits happen to strike a chord ! As for Florence + the Machine... You are absolutely right.
And you made me think of Regina Spektor - Well, as Owlor mentioned our character in the original post :
213.Regina Spektor - Machine.
Had she had a theme song, this would certainly have been it. edited by Marasquine on 3/3/2014

231. Danny Schmidt - This Too Shall Pass I know it sounds kind of country-ish, but it's got that melancholy, ethereal feel. 232. The Tiny - Closer Similar reasons as the above. That unreal feeling. And it's a love song. You know what they say about the Bazaar and love
233. Rainbow - On the Street of Dreams To be honest, I don't know why this reminds me of FL. Maybe it's the meeting in dreams bit? But it's a good song.
234. Clark "Plazmataz" Powell - Flare Deep, dark, marvelous. This one's instrumental, by the way. Gives me shivers every time I listen. 235. Candles and Clockwork (Alpha Version) The title alone is fitting. And this one's sad too. Why am I picking so many sad songs? 236. Clark "Plazmataz" Powel - Rain I seem to like instrumentals today. Have fun trying to decipher the whispers that show up about halfway through.
Think that's enough for now.

it's the wrong period and too south american, but the soundtrack of Grim Fandango somehow helps me visualise the environment of the neath.

For some reason - and for me at least - the music of Vaughan Williams fits perfectly with different areas of Fallen London. Particularly his Sinfonia antartica with the Forgotten Quarter. And just look at those names: A Sea Symphony and A London Symphony!
Although I listen to many different genres of music, I prefer classical as the background for Fallen London.

I see we already have a Vienna Teng. I think her new song and video 'Gravity' has Sunless Sea written all over it (just needs a bit less daylight and more darkness).

237. Amanda Jenssen - The Carnival (AHS Wir Sind Alle Freaks )
238. Marmozets - Hit the Wave (Kinda like if the drownies sang rock)
239. Lauren O'Connell - House of the Rising Song (Remake) (Can you see a trend, i really like AHS, but anyway i think this is sultry enough to be veilgarden)
240. Marina and the Diamonds - Valley of the Dolls ( Good and i just like it not much to do with Fallen London)
241. Arctic Monkeys - You're So Dark ( Its a funny song especially with all the "gothic" stuff again probably has nothing to do with FL)
Of course my music should absolutely be not taken seriously and i expect most of you do disagree but this is my mix of creppy music and rock i had on my in my Library. Anyway have a listen and if you like any of them either watch AHS or listen to more of that band. edited by hyperion122 on 10/3/2014

How about this track from Nichijou? Creates a nice contrast to the lore of the game, hahaha, doesn’t it ?
In all seriousness though, I enjoy listening to Cisfinitum (Russian Post-Industrial Noise) while playing Fallen London. The vastness of that sound fits the vastness of the subterranean caverns that the world of FL is set in and so does the melancholic vibe of these songs.

I have composed a Fallen London soundtrack in five parts, each taking its broad theme from a chapter of The Waste Land and its Neathy analogue. The Burial of the Dead evokes mortality, decay, trauma and renewal; A Game of Chess, love, hatred and adversariality; The Fire Sermon, the Correspondence, the Judgements and the Liberation of Night; Death by Water, the unforgiving, all-devouring sea; and What The Thunder Said, the willing sacrifice of the self and the overwhelming passions of nature. There is no sixth chapter. Ware serpents.
The Burial of the Dead
Florence + the Machine - My Boy Builds Coffins Florence + the Machine - Blinding Florence + the Machine - Only If For A Night Florence + the Machine - Shake It Out Florence + the Machine - Leave My Body
A Game of Chess
Florence + the Machine - I'm Not Calling You A Liar Florence + the Machine - Kiss With A Fist Florence + the Machine - Girl With One Eye
The Fire Sermon
Florence + the Machine - Spectrum Florence + the Machine - All This and Heaven Too Florence + the Machine - Lover to Lover Florence + the Machine - Seven Devils Florence + the Machine - Cosmic Love Florence + the Machine - No Light, No Light
Death By Water
Florence + the Machine - What The Water Gave Me Florence + the Machine - Never Let Me Go Florence + the Machine - Drumming Song
What The Thunder Said
Florence + the Machine - Rabbit Heart Florence + the Machine - Hurricane Drunk Florence + the Machine - Dog Days Are Over Florence + the Machine - Heartlines
Is Someone There?
Florence + the Machine - Breaking Down

This isn't a play list as such, merely a recommendation. Emilie Autumn. Lots of violins and harpsicords. 'Marry Me' and 'Thank God I'm Pretty' split my seams. Her other work is worth exploring.

If I may: the soundtrack to Thief: The Dark Project and Thief 2: The Metal Age fit Fallen London perfectly, in my opinion. Incredibly atmospheric and steampunkish. It's probably the only soundtrack that can couple standard ambient tunes with soft, dark, industrial rock and do it well.

Good evening gentlesir/madam/thing,
Normally I put on this splendid invention called Pandora. It molds and shapes into what I like, and tosses out what I don't like. Normally this amazing..."band" called the Black Keys play, and a little Mumford and Sons, with a dab of the Lumineers. Sometimes some Imagine Dragons, a little Moby, and a dab of this music called "trap". It's actually nice, give it a try dear sir/madam/thing.

This one might be of interest too - modern lyrics, but conjuring the energy of Caravan Palace (which I would also recommend for this list.)
