Game Music
The groups I play games with almost always listen to music while we play board and card games, and I’ve come to associate certain songs, artists and albums with certain games. The association for me is very strong- when I hear the song I almost instantly think about the game.
A few examples from past and present:
- Groove Armada: Goodbye Country – Rummy and Cribbage
- Basement Jaxx: Rooty, Remedy – Magic: The Gathering
- Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works 85-92 – Arkham Horror
These three stand out as being the strongest. The Aphex Twin album is practically the Arkham Horror soundtrack as far as I’m concerned.
