Soundtrack

Hey everyone!! I'm looking for suggestions or preferences for music during a scene. I'm compiling a playlist and don't really know what to put to keep the right mood/energy going.

What sort of mood/energy are you aiming for?

Lots of percussion.

Awesome!! Thank you so much for your help!

The Throbbe, or maybe Mysticum Arabicola, by Ozric Tentacles might be worth a listen, if you're looking for something intense. For NIN, try Sanctified.

NIN/Trent Reznor has a range of styles. Some of his stuff is a bit more towards the ambient end, e.g. Ghosts; I could still see it being used in a scene, but probably not the mood you're looking for. If you want hard, from NIN I'd suggest "Closer", "March of the Pigs", "Head Like A Hole", or "Physical".

You might also try recent Gary Numan. Gary was an electronic music pioneer who later went industrial; his early hits wouldn't fit but later stuff like "Pure" or "Love Hurt Bleed" might suit.

Tom Holkenborg's "Brothers in Arms" and "Blood Bag"[url] are spectacular for hard percussion.

Going a bit further afield, Germany has some great metal/industrial acts. Rammstein are probably the best-known in the English world. Recs: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4Xlc8CIfOI"]"Stripped" (Depeche Mode cover), "Sehnsucht", lots of others.

Umbra et Imago are a BDSM-themed German band. "Sweet Gwendoline" is sinister and hard. "Viva Vulva" is probably a bit softer than you're looking for, but excellent for fdom fans who speak German.

ASP's "Schwarzes Blut" (also the Eisbrecher cover) are good high-energy goth metal. Eisbrecher's good for angry loud music, e.g. "Zwischen Uns".

I prefere music without lyrics. Hearing Reznor talk about how he wants to "fuck you like an animal" is hot per se, but it would take me out of the moment when I'm actually having sex of any kind. Too attention-grabbing.

Here's some electronic music that works for me:

Thank you guys so much! You're awesome!

I like Gregorian chant. The words don't get in the way.

We went through a period where our play was very religious in its "flavor". We used a lot of Gregorian chant then.

nice playlist - love it!

Thank you!
(Pardon my assumption, but I don't see another list so...)

It's added a great deal from time to time. We play it on shuffle, and there are some pieces that have come to be associated with specific activities, so in away, the shuffle almost choreographs the scene. And on one occasion, the Requiem started just as my partner was climaxing. We got a good laugh at the irony of the Requiem accompanying the little death.

Some electronic songs by women I've been listening to the past few days:

Strange Emotion- Jessy Lanza
4:43
Good night music

Where she talk's a bit before the song.
Jessy Lanza - Strange Emotion
6:58

If you like Prince you might like her.



Hannah Georgas - Don't Go (Official Video)

Studio Science: Suzanne Ciani on the Buchla
50:00
Donald Buchla was working on the buchla around when Moog was happening.
As it's long, it's best as background.
gets good around 29:55



METRIC - The Shade (Official Video)
My Summer of 2015 song.

Lamb ‘Cottonwool’
Trip hop I think

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - Concert à La Loge, Paris, 2016
44:46
it gets good after 2:40

Actually this might be better than the concert one:
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - Ears (Full Album)

Big Black would be a good step on from NIN, although maybe a little too ... nihilistic? I have had them playing during sex - confused the hell out of the poor guy I was with.

VU 'Venus in Furs'? There's actually a thread somewhere of BDSM related songs.

Oh ... quite a lot of stuff from this Tricky album is as sexy as fuck ... not sure if it's quite the right vibe though?
