I have a Predator painted sky blue with rainbows and puffy white clouds. His ice rifle says "free to be you and me". I imagine it was the dying middle finger of a commando stuck in the mindvaults that resisted to the end. So when that particular Predator hits the table, "free to be you and me" would be the most appropriate inspirational music.

And while the above is all true, the real reason I'm posting is just to see if I can be the last poster in every subforum at once.

It almost did, for about twenty-four hours. I couldn't be the author of a yahoo feed, and I didn't want to interfere with the official business sub-forums, but I was the listed as the last poster on all the others.  :)

OKay, so I have been completely obsessed with Front Line Assembly over the past two months, I bought their newest album which is one of their best ever, and got to see them live for the first time too.

Naturally, I now have some new tunes that I think suit Legions of Steel as background music, so here I am to share my love of FLA with you all again. I really want to play the game while listening to this new music!

The coolest track by far is called 'Shifting Through The Lens'. This song could easily be interpreted as the Matrix Entity musing to itself about employing chemical warfare tactics, while simultaneously observing and/or dissecting bioforms in its mindvaults... check out the link below on a separate window and come back to the forum to read the lyrics below:

http://youtu.be/BXTQ4-OXB1s

Lyrics to the song:

Mindless
human
f a i t h

lays
naked
there to waste

neurotic
choking
eyeballs

f u e l s
paranoid
crazed c e l l s


s  l  i  d  e    into darkness
slither down the shaft

s  l  i  d  e  into darkness
slither down the shaft
of hell


movements
mirror
his subjects

s h i f t i n g
through
the lens

dirty
shadows
dissipate

dissolve
into
myself


slide into darkness
slither down the shaft of hell


sterilize all contact points
inhale if you want to breath
dirty
poison
oxygen
delivers shiva's need

s t e r i l  i  z  e
all contact pointsss
inhale if you want to
b  r  e  a  t  h


body parts
b l e a c h e d

a m p u t a t e d
feelings

fluid core
d i s m e m b e r e d

dissolve
into
a b y s s s s s s

This bit sounds like observations of humans in the mindvault, some who are obviously alive and scared out of their minds...

A bold invitation to enter the machine complex? Imagine hearing an Overlord wispering this as your forces enter the maze...

A reference to the Matrix observing intruding enemies via cameras or machine units visual feedback... and an almost personal reference to a Nachtmacher fading out...

I love this bit in the song - very catchy phrase. 'Sterilize all contact points'  could be a euphemism for employing chemical weapons, especially with the 'dirty poison oxygen' part in there.

And I like the reference to Shiva too, it could be interpreted as the Matrix discovering the concept of Shiva from someone in the mindvaults & identifying with either the concept of Shiva as a destroyer or as the transformer; "the One who purifies everyone by the very utterance of His name."

And a nice ending where the Matrix Entity decides to dissect some living specimens...

Obviously FLA didn't write this to suit LoS, but man - it works as a cool interpretation of the lyrics, doesn't it?

And if the Matrix Entity were to like a genre, it should be Industrial, right?

Nah, listening to Apocalyptica's "Seventh Symphony" album, especially "On the Roof with Quasimodo", "2010" and "Beautiful".

Apocalyptica - On The Rooftop With Quasimodo

Ignore the video.

Cool! I know it may be a bit fast & dance-y to be a good sci-fi sounding background track, but FLA likes to try and get you to MOVE sometimes... I just love it when they use distorted vocals like in this one.

I think the dance influence works nicely. Nice change from my diet of post-metal.

Heh heh! You have no idea just how far out...

Here's another cool bit o' tune-age I just discovered a week or two ago... does anyone here recall Gary Numan and his classic song 'Cars' from, ah... 1979?? Well, the dude continues to make good music that no one ever hears... I just got his new album that was released in October 2011... the first track is called 'Resurrection' and definitely would sound good while playing LoS...
