General RBN Song Request Thread

[TylerFG]

Also more Freezepop would kick ass.

This.

[FinalAeon]

More Andromeda!

[Quazifuji]

Cipher's already mentioned Diablo Swing Orchestra again, but I also want to point out that they put out a new album a couple months ago and it is, in my opinion, completely amazing (I don't know if it ever got mentioned in the old thread, I haven't been following it for a bit but I did check when the album came out).

Some particular favorites:

Voodoo, Mon Amour

Guerilla Laments

Mass Rapture

Of Kali Ma Calibre

The album appears to have been released under Candlelight Records (although Wikipedia's article on the band itself claims they've been under Ascendance since 2009).

my first post in TAG's request thread is for someone to get more Ayreon (or some of Arjen's other work)

you can contact him here. but it might take some convincing to get him on board because he lost money on the last song he released

other bands I would love to see are...
Blood Stain Child
Apartment 26 (their first Album is on Hollywood Records which is owned by Disney don't know if it is possible to get... their second album is under Atlantic with is owned by Warner Music Group so that is a no-go)
Behemoth
Dimmu Borgir
Blind Guardian
Emigrate
Hammerfall
Freezepop
Heaven Shall Burn
Iced Earth
Primus (or some Les Claypool solo work which is on his own independent label)
Parry Gripp
Reggie and the Full Effect
SOiL
Voltaire

An awesome metal band, Vanisher, just released an awesome new album. You can hear an album teaser here, or just download it for free from the first link (their bandcamp). I believe they are independent, but sometimes it confuses me.

Primus (or some Les Claypool solo work which is on his own independent label)

I would like to throw my heartiest "hell yes" behind this idea. I would dig Rumble of the Diesel from Of Whales and Woe, but if you would rather make my wife swoon with joy you'll get Whamola from Purple Onion.

next big game- whamola hero

I posted about them in TAG's thread a few weeks back, but I'd really like to see these guys pop up on RBN: Saint Motel. They're an indie pop/rock outfit with a pretty unique vintage-y sound who just released their first album Voyeur on the indie label On the Records a month ago. Here's some of my personal favorites off their new album and their previous EP:

Puzzle Pieces
1997
Benny Goodman
Butch
To My Enemies

I mentioned these in the TAG thread, but here they are again in case they're still out there for the taking.

Music lovers who also happen to be computer graphics enthusiasts have at least heard of Animusic, and odds are they love the music as well as the graphics. While not every Animusic track would suit the game, I think some would be awesome to get, especially "Future Retro" and "Harmonic Voltage". As far as I can tell, composer Wayne Lytle, who also runs Animusic with partner David Crognale, has retained full ownership of his music. And, by sheer coincidence, Animusic just today (August 6th) launched a new Kickstarter project to help bring Animusic 3 to light. Now might be the perfect time to contact them, especially if they're looking for more publicity for their new material!

While the Alan Parsons Project is tied to Arista, part of the Sony/BMG conglomerate of labels, Alan Parsons as a "solo" artist has published his last three albums on smaller labels: 1996's On Air, 1999's The Time Machine and 2004's A Valid Path. I understand music even from the '90s is often stored on analog studio masters, which could make the upfront costs rather steep. However, Parsons always was on the bleeding edge of music technology, and it wouldn't surprise me if he has everything digitized already anyway. Of course these smaller labels may still have distribution deals that bring them into the Big Four's web (and one of the labels later went bankrupt), but Parsons seems to have cleared at least enough legal hurdles to offer tracks from On Air and The Time Machine on his website. I would love to see any tracks from any of these three albums make it into the game. "Fall Free", "Press Rewind" and "More Lost without You" in particular would work well.

Straylight Run is my request (preferably from their first album).

[IIICCIII]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack's_Mannequin. Preferably stuff from their debut "Everything In Transit", but any would be awesome. Andrew McMahon is also the frontman for Something Corporate, which would be quite welcome as well.

Also, Ben Folds (Ben Folds Five), but that might be asking a little too much. He is on Epic's label.

Figure I'd give it a try since they'd most likely never be HMX DLC.
