Nils Frahm - Spaces. One of my favorite live records ever.

That all said, Type-O Negative's October Rust has been an annual revisit for me for at least the past twenty years. There is something about the dog-days of Winter that just has me reaching for that album.

That has an argument for the album I've been listening to somewhat regularly for the longest.  Or at least something from it.  An instrumental version of "Haunted" was included on the redbook OST for the video game Descent II, so I listened to it a ton back then.  It planted the seed for me getting into metal, and probably influenced the direction my taste eventually headed, getting into a lot of slower and more atmospheric music, especially in the past decade to decade and a half.

Man, you see literally the ONLY other person I know who knows what Descent (1 and 2) is... spent sooooo many hours playing that game, and I too loved the music.

You guys are showing your age now. Carry on.

Make that three! And yes, the Descent II soundtrack was the first time I heard of Type O Negative as well. :biggrin:

I mean I'm only 27 and I played those games, what does that say about you? ;)

Man, I haven't played Descent II (let alone the original) in many years. Probably 25 years. Although my favorite was Descent III, then of course there was Freespace I and II. Those were some of the best years for gaming, '95 to '01.

Although I completely forgot Type O Negative was on the Descent II soundtrack.

Saw Type O Negative in I believe Sept In 95 Boston.

I never really considered myself a gamer, but the ones I played I tended to be obsessed with, the Descent series more than any other.  I played Descent III online more hours than should be humanly possible in the early 00s.  The first two were better single player experiences though, and had better music.  The redbook OST for the second is probably responsible for my interest in doom and gothic metal from Type O, and electro-industrial, industrial rock, or just electronic music in general, and to some extent film scores from the other tracks on it.  It's probably not an exaggeration to call it one of the most significant "albums" for my taste.

I used to play Defender, Missile Command, and Pitfall on my Atari while listening to Sabbath and Kiss on my turntable.

My earliest gaming memories are playing Bombjack, Bubble Bobble and Space Harrier on my brothers Atari ST! The soundtrack back then was stuff like Ride the Lightning, Reign in Blood and Altars of Madness. I had no clue about any of the stuff my brother was spinning back then but it was all infiltrating my heart, body and soul  :heart

@buddy, to answer your question, I'm old is what it says about me. I'm becoming at peace with that. The fact you were barely born when Descent II came out doesn't really help  :lol

Anathema - Weather Systems

I’ve seen this album mentioned many times on here lately, guess I should give it a listen.


It’s a certified DTF classic. And I remember when it came out and people were calling it a worse version of their previous album. :biggrin:

It still is as far as I'm concerned. Weather Systems is a great album but none of the songs on it reach the levels of Thin Air/A Simple Mistake/Universal imo. Still a great album, not in Anathema's top3 but maybe top5.

Glasser, I am curious about your age. Of course, you are under no obligation to answer, but sometimes I read your posts (such as the megadeth thread) and you sound like your my age (42), and other times I think your about 15 years older.

Unless there’s two Glassers on this board, which is always a possibility.

That all said, I totally played my older sisters Atari while listening to my parents vinyl collection, so maybe we’re both just old souls!

There can only be one Glasser. The world could not handle more than that.


would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

My parents wouldn't buy me a NES/SNES when I was younger, but they did get me a Game Boy, plus I had computer games, and I think my grandfather bought an old Atari at a thrift store, so I have some fond memories of playing some games on that.
