Soundtrack to Civil Power
December 18, 2019 10 Comments
In the new year a revised version of Civil Power, a tactical-level game I designed on urban riots and mayhem, will be published by a company called Conflict Simulations. I first designed this game back in 1991-92, and it came with a set of scenarios taken from history and then-contemporary headlines… this new version has a lot of changes informed by over 25 years of designing in between, and a whole new cast of global angst and violence.

So I thought, why not make a playlist to serve as a sort of soundtrack to playing it? The above is 78 minutes of anti-authority music of many genres (most of them loud and snotty), in an easy-to-handle 44K VBR. Hope you enjoy, even if you don’t order my game!

Got some catchy titles on there!
Thanks!
I love this one (Fight The Power – Public Enemy), feel like I ever heard to this track before but I forget where.
It’s a famous track, it has been in lots of film and TV soundtracks. One I remember is near the end of the film “Jarhead”, when the guys come back from their mission to find the war has been over for hours but no one thought to come and get them!
No wonder I feel that I ever listened to it. Thanks mate.
You’re welcome!

I’m late to the party, but would suggest Gordon Lightfoot’s “Black Day in July” about rioting in Detroit in 1967 as a worthy, if less raucous, addition to the list. (My recollection is that Lightfoot actually wrote the song while trapped in a hotel in Detroit during the riots.)
Yes!
I actually was trying to work that one in, but I make up these playlists via harmonic mixing and couldn’t fit it in wrt key and BPM.. it would have sounded out of place, despite being on-theme.
Good song though, and one I remember being played on the radio a lot.
