Mothership the Soundtrack


Unlike with the MSF soundtrack, the majority of these don't have dedicated components or an order, and so I have left out the meta-titles. And also the links because that was a pain and a half the first time.


e. Ivy has very graciously made a spotify playlist of most of all of these.

[1] "Copy that, Oriole, you're cleared for docking on spur 43. Welcome home."

[2] Had to limit myself on the Bebop tracks, otherwise the whole list would have been just that soundtrack.

[3] Same as [2].

[4] Friday night at the ISWU Local #975.

[5] Drinking away your paycheck.

[6] Theme of the Panan Sho syndicate.

[7] This song could be a total hoax and I would not care - it's a great story.

[8] Raid on the deepwell blacksite.

[9] Hans Zimmer has never gotten over this song and has been trying to recapture it for a decade, and has failed continually. Also the theatrical version had to be reconstructed which is bonkers nonsense.

[10] Orbital drop over Sigma Draconis d.

[11] I don't think there's a better exncapsulation of cyberpunk than this song and the scene it is from - nothing short of a dirge for the world.

[12] Clawing ever upward towards liberation.

[13] Many thanks to MickyJim for this rec - I haven't played any of the 343 Halos so the music gets to be only rarely.

[14] The Zeruel sequence is easily my favorite example of cosmic horror in media. The time of Fucking Around is over; now it is the age of Finding Out.

[15] I don't think there's a track in existence that is more poorly served by its accompanying material than this. It deserves some K6BD level magic kung fu bullshit.

[16] Bioware was aiming way higher than their weight class with Sovereign, and boy did that bite them in the blubber later down the line.

[17] A Jovian slingshot followed by a 3G burn. Ramming speed.

  1. As solid an appendix as any

  2. Happy to pass on the rec! And yeah I tapped out after Halo 4 myself. One of the few things I remember about that game is the soundtrack.

  3. The HU rock, that's awesome

    Musically, DARE by The Gorillaz is kinda whatever but the giant head in the music video is firmly part of my Appendix N for Mothership./Axis Mundi/Sunless Horizon

    Musically

    1. Sometimes there's just a giant head right there for no reason.

  4. The fact that our MOSH media lists match up so much tells me that I've been spending too much time on this blog.
    I know that you didn't love the Murderbot Diaries, but the sheer bleakness of the corporate areas of the setting (especially in during Murderbot's walkabout in the first couple sequels) make it my touchpoint on what areas with money in MOSH should feel like, and what an Android PC should act like.
