    Default Wham Music

    I'm planning a campaign and was wondering what kind of music would be good for the delivery of a Wham Line. The music would start playing just after the line was spoken. The shift is from a standard information-gathering mission where the characters overhead the villain talking about her plans to a situation where they realize that she knows they're there and that the place they're in is a giant deathtrap.

    Of course, general Wham Line music would be good, since I haven't found a compilation of this kind of thing in general.

    Why am I here?

    confused Re: Wham Music

    I am uncertain of where to find it, or even its proper name (big help I am, huh), but the music that plays when you face your rival in SoulCalibur II's Weapon Master mode always stuck me a a good wham.

    "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go?"?

    I like Clint Mansell music. Like "Lux Aeterna" from the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack. Lux Aeterna is a pretty heavy hitter in the suspense (and/or horror) department, but I'd have to do more research to come up with a mood shifter.

    Although, if you have Lux Aeterna already playing, the shift at about 1:40 could make a pretty good point.

    In general you seek something, that hint deadly danger and instills sense of urgency (Get the hell out of here! Panic!Panic!Panic!).

    For starters, Vision of Escaflowne had this.
    Next the classic turn-over from Lord of the Rings (the Wham! comes about 1:57).
    This has a good lead-in, but a bit too slow for the purpose.
    Then there is the brilliant score of The Hunting for Red October: 1, 2 and others.

    For more modern settings: this might work.
    Short Circuit by Daft Punk might as well.
    Music from Soul Reaver would set the proper mood as well.
    In a war it doesn't matter who's right, only who's left.
