The official soundtrack of Planets Nu - Scifiology by Dependency Injection!Wednesday, February 08, 2012  If you've got your speakers on when you open your turns this week you'll be greeted by a sudden rush of sound and music. Definitely not what you are used to from your normally near silent Planets playing experience. We have added sound effects and music to the game and want to shout out a big thank you to two main contributors. John Chernoff a player who has composed individual theme songs for every race and Cory Troxtell of Dependency Injection who generously contributed his album Scifiology to serve as the official soundtrack of Planets Nu. Scifiology - By Dependency InjectionScifiology is an awesome, modern, electronic ambiance album with a nice story behind it. You can learn more about Dependency Injection and listen to some more samples from their website: http://dependencyinjection.com Also, if you like the background music be sure to head over to their Facebook page and post a thank you or "like" them:
http://www.facebook.com/dependencyinjection Race AnthemsJohn Chernoff actually produced the 11 race anthems way back in November-December of 2010! It just took until now to get music/sound prioritized to the top of the to-do list. At the time we planned to get them in very soon and were also getting some great music from Lasse Karhu which you can expect to hear added to the background music over the coming months to keep things interesting. One of the interesting challenges was how to use the anthems in the game. We have decided to play a short clip whenever you open your turn to get you in the right mood for the race you are playing. More might get added later. The full anthems are all available below: How to turn sound and music on/offOK, so you opened your turn at work and suddenly you got the huge Evil Empire theme blasting through your office and your boss is wondering what you are up to... luckily there is a quick and easy way to turn off the sound effects: Go to Settings >> in your dashboard and at the bottom you will find the check boxes for sound effects/music. Enjoy the new sound effects and music! As always feedback is highly welcome and be sure to shout out a big thank you to Dependency Injection and John Chernoff.

Most enjoyable! - GoleismyName thin lizzy - Thursday, February 09, 2012 2:08 AM lalalalalalllaaaa -- Thank You !! bjorg - Thursday, February 09, 2012 5:51 AM I thought I was going crazy. I could not for the life of me figure out where the music was coming from. Good Stuff. finsch - Thursday, February 09, 2012 8:43 AM "Without music life would be a mistake." Friedrich Nietzsche Thumbs up! halion - Thursday, February 09, 2012 11:47 AM excellent job! very epic. Definately also loving the abiltiy to see Ally VCR's! thin lizzy - Thursday, February 09, 2012 2:03 PM ... and the turns missed percentage dungeonmaster - Thursday, February 09, 2012 4:05 PM You KNOW the inspiration for the borg soundtrack is METROID. Without a shadow of a doubt my favorite game series of all time. Really great job! If I dare to comment we need a little of the Rundas theme music in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nMFLquJeCc richard hendricks - Friday, February 10, 2012 2:53 AM I like the music and new sound effects, but could we please have an independent volume slider for Nu? The sounds are really loud, even with the PC set to low. lutwidge - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 2:21 AM Hey, wow, I totally forgot I had these themes in the works actually - other things crept up last fall and I stopped goofing around with them (which is why some might sound a bit incomplete/dorky/etc). Anyhow, I may try over the summer to make the instrumentation a bit more, well, sci-fi like, and also to complete some of the tracks that were left off in silly ways (Robots! Crystals!). artemis3 - Tuesday, February 21, 2012 7:18 AM The VCR desperately needs volume control for SFX... There is also a bug where you turn off music, leave, come back and music plays with the setting for music still turned off, you have to turn music on/off again, every single time you check in. mjs68508 - Tuesday, February 21, 2012 8:18 AM artemis: The music only plays for 30 seconds. Then it turns off. That is not part of the "music." That is a "sound effect." (The effect of you entering the game.) Also, are you hitting the SAVE button? daniel payne - Thursday, March 01, 2012 1:28 AM Enjoying the Rebels music even more than the Bird Men. Not a fan of the Colonies. Lizards is ok. daniel payne - Friday, March 16, 2012 6:34 PM At my desk. Got my turn open. I am not taking my turn at work though. I just want to hear the music as a sound track at work.
