Rib video's: backing tracks

[Under the Thumb]

Any decent rib video has a good backing track, but i am stuck for ideas.

Can you help me by posting you favourite tracks and i will try and compile a definitive top 10.
(this should cause a few arguments!!)

[Tony]

what about some thumpin beats from the soundtrack to the matrix?

[Millermob]

Richard B and Roycruse seem to have mastered the backing tracks, best to ask them.

Freddie

[Lets go boating]

you could try Sandstorm by da rude. good up beat rythem. great for action.

or right here right now by fatboy slim, for the cool lookish.

Each bit of music I try and get to match the environment at the time. Although not on the rib last week, this music seems to match perfectly the job at hand - http://videos.ribseadrive.co.uk/tena...0-06_large.wmv

When editing the rib videos, I try and get quiet bits in the track to coincide with lulls on the boat, when we're not at speed for instance. Also, little things like video transitions at changes in the music - see the begining of this video - http://videos.ribseadrive.co.uk/crui...8-06_large.wmv and http://videos.ribseadrive.co.uk/crui...6-06_large.wmv for examples.

A couple of tracks I might use on the next video depending on weather conditions would be Faster Kill Pussycat Featuring Britanny Murphy, Namara (Jurgen Vries Remix), possibly World Hold On by Bob Sinclar, and Nelly Furtado Maneater (cos I like the bass). Of course, it may be the case that none of them fit

One thing I am going to do though is put the bullet cam on the tug more often when we're doing small tow jobs.

You're stuck for ideas? There's so much material available digitally, so much backing music on the telly you can't be stuck for ideas! OK, what do you listen to in the car? What bit of incidental music did you like recently? Here's an idea: Andreas Johnson - Glorious (was used on the BT Global Challenge TV series a few years ago) you will find it easily on iTunes or LimeWire or whatever your favoite site is. Have a look through the track listings on some compilation CDs, watch some sport on telly and you should get some ideas.

Here are some MP3's I found in a folder that didn't make it onto RIB video edits:
Eric Prydz - Call On Me
Flock of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away)
Guns N' Roses - Back off Bitch
Kate Bush - Waking The Witch
ELO - Evil Woman
Jan Hammer - Crockett's Theme (Miami Vice soundtrack)
Faithless - God is a DJ
John Miles - Music Was My First Love
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Queen - Radio Gaga
Style Council - Long Hot Summer (12 Inch Version)
The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
The Beloved - Sweet Harmony

I'm working on part two of the RIBnet 2006 RIB Raid video at the moment so hope to have that done soon, maybe. What do you reckon to a Robbie Williams track, yes or no?

Sandstorm is one of my all time favourites - was going to mention it. Also Rapture by Iio.

I also love Mano's soundtrack in his video - the techno F1 track.

On a totally different note....... For cruising around rough seas on the West Coast of Scotland it would have to be Mendelssohn!!!

i usually use what im listening to at the time. the boats got an mp3 player with loads of tunes. Last 2 have been Mason-Exceeder and Fedde le grand- put your hands up for detroit extended version

Alex - What editing software are you using? Your definately right about trying to coincide the quiet bits of music with the lull moments in the video but its often hard to do!

Your videos are really good, when you've got the camcorder recording how do you stop the slamming of the boat effect the tape. I quickly put this together from the video off Bens bullet cam on the Yarmouth Cruise. Didn't take much time over the music choice! It was nearly the Birdy song but it wasn't long enough!

Always thought this'd make a good backing track:-
