Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Max Payne (series) Edition


Every other Wednesday I share a playlist of songs tangentially related to a single game or series. Songs about alien sex for Mass Effect, songs about world leaders for Civilization, and so on. Searching for random terms on Spotify is a great way to discover new music and rediscover old classics.

Before they paid homage to thriller novels and paranormal TV-serials with Alan Wake, Remedy's Max Payne did the same for comic books and noir cinema. This episode takes a look at the series' past and future through new wave, rock, ska, and hip hop.

Track List

Ultravox -- Slow Motion
Motörhead -- Going to Brazil
NOWlab -- Film Noir
The Selecter -- Washed Up and Left for Dead
K-OS -- Valhalla
Median -- Simile
