Happy Tunesday, Scrubs!
It's been a busy few weeks for us so forgive the slight delay in getting the most recent batch of absolute bangers to you!
You can find the playlist here: https://spoti.fi/2Kp98gI
Here's the songs that have been keeping Two Point Studios ticking over these past weeks:
Tom and Phil of Cedar Studios:
and ‘Electric Indigo’ by ‘The Paper Kites’ , this whole album is gold dust and super relaxing. Playing anything from this album takes everything down a gear and that’s a good thing
Chris Knott, Lead Animator:
N 2 Gether Now – Limp Bizkit and method man.... Method man is awesome...
Out of the Black – Royal Blood. I still find it incredible this music is made by just two people..
Ben Hymers, Lead Programmer:
Carpenter Brut - Turbo Killer. Fast angry 80s electro is great to code to, when you just need to get your head down and crack on! Much like the C&C soundtrack from last week!
Frank Klepacki - Hell March

This week I've really needed to get my head down and crack on with work, and I've found that the C&C and Red Alert soundtracks are EXCELLENT music for this! There are some great tunes from both games (plus some bizarre funk and electro tunes too), but from all of them I'll pick the timeless classic, Hell March.
Mark Smart, Lead Artist:
Wilko Johnson – Beauty
From the new album that even he thought he’d never make. More Delta Blues Rock (Thames Delta Blues that is) He also crops in Game OF Thrones!
Half Man Half Biscuit – Knobheads On Quiz Shows
More HMHB sardonic whit. Can’t stop playing the latest album after seeing them recently…..very good they was too, enough material to choose from.
Rat Scabies – My Wrists Hurt
One of the founders of the Damned, releases first solo album P.H.D (Prison, Hospital, Debt) Chose this over Floydian Slip which has a great soundbite over it.
Rich Brooks, Progammer:
Radiohead - Moon Shaped Pool - Burn The Witch
I chose this song because I'm an enormous Radiohead fanboy. But also, because I've been watching a lot of childrens' TV on account of me spending a lot of time with my 3 year old son. And the video for Burn The Witch made me laugh waaay more than it should have done. Watch it here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI2oS2hoL0k.
I know, given that it's Radiohead, that there's a much deeper meaning hidden there. But I'm quite happy for it to go over my head. I enjoyed it!
Craig Laycock, Brand Manager:
Learn to Fly – Foo Fighters
I’d love to know what it’s like to fly. Flapping about up there in the clouds with the birds. I often think about my flappy wings flapping away, the smile it would bring to my face.
Dreams – Cranberries
Everyone deserves to dream. I don’t mean your standard “close your eyes, go to sleep” dreams, of course. I mean the big dreams. For me, the big dream would be to flap about it a cloud like a bird.
I’m like a Bird – Nelly Furtado
Not sure why I like this one tbh
Prem, Artist: Feeling classical this week!
In the hall of the mountain king - Edvard Grieg
Gayane - Sabre Dance Aram Khachaturian.
Swan lake -Tchaikovsky (ed's note, I've included the intro as the whole piece is about three hours long ;) Lauran)
Mark Webley, Founder:
Johnny Marr... "Hi Hello" - this is absolutely brilliant and everyone should try a bit of Johnny Marr. Looking forward to a new album later this month (and seeing him in November!) - you'll almost definitely have more from the album from me very soon!
Lauran, Community Manager: I was lucky enough to catch Taylor Swift on her Stadium tour recently so OF COURSE I've chosen Taylor. Getaway Car is a tune!
