Like @koenvdb says, there is no "magic playlist". What works for you will probably be different from everyone else. But FWIW, you can do worse than including this track: [link] ("Chase" by Giorgio Moroder) Outside of that, you might try something like: [link] (horrorsynth) [link] (synthwave) [link] (synthwave) [link] (Rachmaninoff) [link] (Camille Saint-Saëns - Danse Macabre) [link] (Bach - Brandenburg Concertos) [link] (Holst - The Planets) [link] (Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion) [link] (blues) [link] ("Epic battle music") ▶ this video (David Hasselhoff - True Survivor) [link] (Amon Amarth - Put Your Back Into The Oar) [link] (AC/DC - Greatest Hits) [link] (Motley Crue - Keep Your Eye on the Money) [link] (Winger - Madalaine) [link] (John Farnham - Thunder in your Heart) [link] ("Twin Peaks Double R Diner Ambience - 8 Hours of Smooth Jazz Music, Rain Sounds, & Cozy Cafe Ambience")

I recently encountered the term 'Tempoflavanoids' - the flavour of a particular moment in time. I love the concept, it speaks to the artist in me. Though I thought David Hasslehoff's 'True Survivor' music video for the Kung Fury kickstarter was a banger. ▶ this video

The 90s have called... They want their Cyberpunk 2020 font back into something more legible. I suggest he hires Hasselhoff for the promotion ▶ this video
