Pop Music?

I finished The Darkness by the way. Good game, it had some clever ideas which set it aside from regular first person shooters. There were little things like that fact if you looked down you could see your character's feet and the way the loading screens were hidden by having short monologues from our boy Jackie - I liked those touches.

Then there are the other ideas like being able to eat the still beating hearts of your enemies (which did not once get boring) and the way that guns in this game took a back seat to events; in the first person shooter genre that is quite a brave thing to do - I had way too much fun sneaking up on people using The Creeping Darkness.

Plus getting Mike Patton to provide the voice of The Darkness was an inspired bit of casting.

Anyway, this is all getting away from the original intention of this post.

Let's have some music! And dare I say it: some quite nice music - which in my book verges on pop. People will disagree with me here; this song is pretty much instrumental and full of glitchy electronic effects and comes from a Berlin techno producer who goes by the name of Apparat.

But, it has an undeniable melodic quality, it is a reasonable length (just pushes over the four minute mark), and most importantly can be listened to many times over without getting dull.

Apparat - Limelight

I'd recommend getting the whole album if you feel like you are becoming maybe just a bit too metal (and not in a good way).
