ike54 Posted May 26, 2003 Posted May 26, 2003 Whats the music genre in GF, mostly in Part 2 (manny's casino, high rollers lounge and what not). Such as se saxophone songs? Some kinda blues or jazz, but are there any specific songs or artists or 'sub-genres' u would recommend.
anomalousresult Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 if you are looking for something simliar to the ambient in the blue casket, listen to john coltrane. he is possibly the best jazz sax player ever, and certainly one of the most revolutionary. get something like the very best of.. or blue train by him. another great in the jazz world was a bloke called django reinhardt who played guitar. that's a bit swingy and maybe not quite as introspective as the avant garde stuff, but still good. as for blues, someone like stevie ray vaughan (with his band double trouble) would be a good place to start for a white man.
Jawa Eater Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 Yeah, definatley check out John Coltrane, imho, the best jazz player off all time.
Bogart Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 Go for Charles Mingus and Oscar Peterson as well. Mingus gets nice and loud and crazy, Peterson is a little more delicate, but its all delicious. Albums I recommend are "Oh Yeah" and "Blues and Roots" by Mingus, and anything by Peterson.
deadworm222 Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 IMO Coltrane is horrible, like bad avant-garde classical music. Coltrane isn't strictly even in the style of the background music in Blue Cascet. Coltrane plays just... we'll I can't write it, obviously, but very boringly.
Bushmeister Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 The kind of music is beeb bop/swing jazz. A little blues also.
Dawidos Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 My favourite song in Grim Fandango is Companeros. I like this kind of mexican music. You can download this song from official site of Grim Fandango. Nice listen

Bushmeister Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 My favourite has to be Ninth Heaven, very nice peace of music there, nice tune and a quick tempo make it my favourite.
pleto4_ryan Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 i really like all of them... I also like the music at the Blue Casket, the music of Rubacava and the Los angelitos...but they all talk to the heart
