Hey Helios, can you say what the track was that you said you had a say in choosing? (So much saying in that sentence).

 

[NexusGamer]

This seems much bigger than FH1 soundtrack, awesome!

Also I never heard of many of these artists - but with FH1 it helped me discover new bands, and even genres. So I can only hope FH2 will do the same

 

[Alcoholikaust]

the clash in a videogame? ugh

haha

edit:that two fingers as well- love amon tobin

 

[djplaeskool]

The next Horizon better be set in Asia, we need those K-pop and Shibuya-kei stations already.

One of my custom playlists for GT5 was all Pizzicato Five.

 

[Ferr986]

I remember when racing games had soundtracks that I actually enjoyed listening to. Now there's nothing but electronic noise in most anymore. Guess this will be be continuing the trend of muting the music.

Sorry but I hate when people says that electronic music is noise..

 

[eso76]

Luna - Bombay Bicycle club

Yay !

Seriously, this is my jam.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

i would buy a music pack dlc


i'm not joking

Don't give them any ideas.

Spoiler

But I would totally pay for a best of OG Horizon music station

Obviously the final decision was up to Rob Da Bank, but after meeting them earlier this year I helped make some initial introductions that resulted in the CHVRCHES song getting onto the soundtrack. Iain from the band is a massive video game fan (as is Martin), he's getting interviewed in Edge magazine next issue in fact..

Oh wow, I was just about to say The Mother We Share is turning into a favourite on that best of list! Great suggestion.

 

[badams]

Oh man, soundtrack looks absolutely amazing. Guys at Playground seem to have everything right with this game, improving every single aspect of first Horizon, which was already great.

Night time racing + Delorean Dynamite.

Can't wait!

 

[Certinty]

I don't know a lot of that soundtrack but given how good the first soundtrack is, I'm expecting this to be just as good once I do start listening to it

 

[HeliosT10]

Oh wow, I was just about to say The Mother We Share is turning into a favourite on that best of list! Great suggestion.

You should check out the album, great stuff!

 

[BPoole]

The only people I recognized in the list were the classical composers and Mr. Scruff, whom I don't like

 

[Computer]

I know Nero that is all.

 

[Wolfgang Jr]

Looks fucking shit (which made this first game so fitting and fun). I'm happy enough

 

[Daffy Duck]

Shame no Zhu Faded, song would be amazing in this game.

 

[Poodlestrike]

No classic rock?

A sad day indeed.

 

[zorbsie]

I don't think I knew any of the songs in Horizon 1. Nothing but the classical stuff is jumping out with this one. Having said that, I loved the music in the first game. Listening to some of these songs is getting me so hyped to just drive around in Horizon 2. Can't wait. Forza Horizon was one of the very few racing games where I didn't just turn off the music.

 

[ToiJu]

Sorry but I hate when people says that electronic music is noise..

Same thing with people saying that metal music is just noise. Yeah, even as a metal fan I consider some metal music just that, but saying all metal is noise is just showing that they nothing about the genre.

 

[Freeman]

I like that I don't know pretty much anything on the list (outside of the last station) and have no idea what most of those genres are, if I ever play this game at least I'll get to know some new songs.

That's a good point. It does seem like a nice way to extend my musical...

horizons.

 

[Blizzcut]

I want to know why this wasn't added to that list

http://youtu.be/TWwIztjs29Y?t=22s

Since it was used in their original E3 Trailer.

 

[p3tran]

I know I'll be slowly cruising the beaches at Nice, looking for my barn finds, chillin' 8)
this fits the bill for starters..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHCYHldJi_g

also I like that classic music radio station appears to be back from pgr3

 

[BTM]

Under the tide? That's terribad and is one of the songs I've deleted from the album.

Basically this

 

[RawNuts]

Awesome list.

http://youtu.be/TWwIztjs29Y?t=22s

It might not be in the game and only used for the trailer; Gemini's Fire Inside was used in the Forza Rally trailer but wasn't in the game, and I think there were other scenarios of this happening as well.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

CHVRCHES!

 

[Amir0x]

Some good, some not so good. I'll make my own soundtrack like I always do for racing games, even if there's no custom soundtrack I'll just pump that shit over my PC speakers >

 

[RyudBoy]

Best of "Forza Horizon 2" playlist here if anyone fancies a listen:

http://music.xbox.com/playlist/best-of-forza-horizon-2/8579a32c-8060-00fe-616c-ddb6479d83d1

Yup, I think I'll be quite satisfied with the soundtrack. There are quite a few in that playlist that I like! Gonna wait for the full game to hear the rest of the tracks in-game!

 

[jem0208]

“Always (Classixx Remix)” by Panama

ARGH!

Why the remix? The original is so much better. I suppose this version fits with the radio station a bit better.







Eh, I might be able to get used to it.











Damn there is a lot of negativity in this thread though. Overall the soundtrack seems to be excellent, same as last time it seems.

 

[Hip Hop]

I'm noticing a clear lack of Hip Hop just like the last damn game.

ugghhh

Guess the first thing I'm doing when I start up that menu in game?

*Music Volume Slider all the way down*

 

[mreddie]

Yep, the Rock station and Pulse station are getting repeat play.

 

[rokkerkory]

I'm noticing a clear lack of Hip Hop just like the last damn game.

*Music Volume Slider all the way down*

thank goodness for that

 

[jem0208]

thank goodness for that

Hip hop is definitely something that I could not see fitting with Horizon at all.


I was dubious about Classical but that seems to fit well with the European setting so I'm okay with it.

 

[rob305]

Seems like an obvious tie-in, too. No custom soundtracks on Xbox One, either, for some reason. I would think well-integrated custom soundtracks would've been standard this gen, but nope. I'd have loved to see a Custom Radio station that uses your music source but also interjects the DJs between songs with chat and in-game discussion.

Give it time

 

[Frankenstrat]

Definitely a fan of the idea of racing to Chromeo.

 

[RoKKeR]

Really big fan of the playlist on Xbox Music. "Nocturne" by Keeno is an incredible tune that I can't wait to drive to.

 

[Unmoses]

Fantastic.. loving the chance to learn new tunes.. Thanks for the playlist Helios, listening now..

 

[Jachaos]

Ninja Tune radio was a big part of my enjoyment of Sleeping Dogs. It was as much a discovery for me as Sleeping Dogs was and instantly fit the mood of cruising around in the rainy night.

 

[SmackAttack]

CHVRCHES and Pixies on my Forza Horizon? Aw yiss. Looking forward to being introduced to some new stuff like the first game did for me. Also, I'm one of those who loves listening to the classical music in Burnout Paradise while driving around in multiplayer and I can't wait to do that in this game.

 

[Bsigg12]

Would anyone be willing to go through and make a Spotify playlist with all the songs? I just don't have time to do it.

 

[TKR92]

"Hospital Records Radio"


As a liquid fan, I approve this station.

Mad props to PG. Bravo!!!

 

[KaYotiX]

Well seeing as most of Forza Horizon 1's music didn't sit well with me until 10+ hours (then it seemed like I loved it all LOL) this will probably do the same.

 

[tuna_love]

Band of skulls and royal blood. Good shit

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Where's the metal?

Spoiler

Just kiddding, but not really.

 

[wenis]

That might be the lamest soundtrack I've seen to date. Maybe a handful of bands in there worth cruising to. Yeesh.

I'm noticing a clear lack of Hip Hop just like the last damn game.

ugghhh

Guess the first thing I'm doing when I start up that menu in game?

*Music Volume Slider all the way down*

I'd rather have no hip.hop versus a playlist made up of eminem and Macklemore.

 

[Kajiba]

I love what I'm hearing right now. Sooo good

 

[T.O.P]

Would anyone be willing to go through and make a Spotify playlist with all the songs? I just don't have time to do it.

Spotify
spotify:user:1132207731laylist:7a3aZbfY9xphhThFOeA1tA

I included all the songs of the first four stations (Pulse, Bass, XS, Hospital) in the list and will add the rest when I get back from the cinema.

Not all tracks are available on Spotify though.

Living in Germany the Youtube playlists are almost empty.

this dude did

 

[SegaShack]

Music in the first horizon was awful for those not into "indie" styled music. At least this has classical. Still not getting this cause hate the overworld, story, and setting for Horizon. I just wanna race, not drive to the next level and watch bad cutscenes.
