Post Apocalyptic Music

I may be misremembering, but I thought I remembered a rather excellent thread on the BIS forums started a BIS employee(or mod?) where people could reply with music they felt suitably post apoc, or books in the similar vein.

I think it also listed the theme tunes to FO1/FO2 and where they could be downloaded.

Does anyone know of an archive of this thread(or even a link so I can try it on archive.org), or a similar one?

This is all the Fallout 1 music, I think.

so post apocalytic music eh? Yeah this may be out of topic but Dimmu Borgir is pretty freaking awesome when it comes to post apoc metal.

Dimmu Borgir is pretty awesome when it comes to crap.

(Too easy?)

Post-apoc metal? How is that possible?

Some music by Richard d James can be compared to the music in Fallout 1 and 2... His ambient works.
I think there were 2 albums from him with ambience.

Aphex Twin had two ambient albums, yes. But the rest of his stuff is basically just noise.

Like guardian said, this guy pumps out so much music, he has to make something good once in a while.

There's a 1:20 ratio, it's down to pure statistics now. I mean, the man made a CD called, "26 Mixes For Cash", you do the math.

Speaking of AT, "Grass" would fit perfectly in Fallout. Run a search, hear it yourself.

Hey I listened to the fallout 2 soundtrack that the link took me to but I was wondering how all the songs from Fo2 weren't on there like the one from the Den or Modoc? It was almost a complete list but is there anywhere I can listen to them?

Dimmu Borgir is the dog shit of modern metal.

You mean, the utter shit, right?

Wait, does "the utter shit" mean good, or bad?

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 3:24 pm

It's "tah joke". Subhuman has her own slang where "the utter shit" means "simply the best".

So yah, it can be both. At the same time, really.

So back on topic...are the other songs from the fallout games on the DAC or was that link posted all that there is?

Rip them yourself and turn them into mp3s. That's how I got the Vault City song.

Aye. Use GFE to rip out the .ACM music files from the .DAT files, then convert the .ACM files to wav files using ACM2WAV, and then you can either convert that into MP3, or just burn it into a minidisk right away.

I know it sounds a bit complex, but it's realy a rather simple process that takes no more than 30 minutes of your time, for all the tracks.
