^ why no post rock? It can really be a great surf ... or post metal for that matter. Choose anything that has great dynamics (silent/loud, slow/fast etc) and you're in for a treat!

In case anyone's thinking of trying post-rock for some weird reason...don't!

The most fun I've had has got to be with Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" and all of the Charlie Parker that I own. Bebop makes for a particularly quirky kind of gameplay.

I'm going to pay for the game tonight, but unfortunately I ran out of demo songs. Cry

When I do get it though, how do you add people as friends?


Click "Popular Songs" ... on the tab "Friend Scores" there's a button "Add A Friend".

They should make that easier ... and maybe they will.

Incidentally: In one of the last updates they even added a last.fm plugin ... in the options you can enter your last.fm username, so the tracks you surf will be added to your last.fm playlist.


Oh, okay, thanks! Big%20smile

And yeah, I saw the last.fm plugin... that is really cool. I entered that immediately. Tongue

The Mars Volta is usually very good with this.
The most fun I've had recently was going Holland 1945 by Neutral Milk Hotel.

I'll have to give the Ozrics a try later.
 
Some of my favorite songs to play have been by Area, Eider Stellaire and Hidria Spacefolk.

Woah, this sounds cool!!! I actually had an idea like this for years where you could virtually enter a world to your music, and this seems pretty close. I definitely need to check it out. *downloading demo now*

Theoretically this should even work for Half-Life 2 ... but I guess you at least need a Mac with an Intel CPU.

*bump* again ... I now know for a fact that I'm not the only one here who is currently playing this game.

So ... let's post some interesting tracks ... and your user names, so that we can see each other's high scores for our favorite tracks (Audio-Surf has a "friend" system).Big%20smile
