[Traveller] The Lord Weird Slough Feg – Traveller
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdyaBu5nge0&list=PLLD8tmFAuglok24oZSdFAPC7zvj40kjDEIn 2003 The Lord Weird Slough Feg (they later shortened the name to just Slough Feg) released a concept album based on Traveller of all things. This was way after the star of Traveller as an RPG property had gone down and before it rose again. From what I remember the early 2000s were not really great for the game, so this seems to have been rooted their appreciation of the game.
It’s a bit too metal for my taste. Not that it’s bad, but it doesn’t quite fit with what I would connect with Traveller as a game. Also as nice as it is to have a musical version of Traveller, the lyrics are somewhat… debatable…
I am a space pirate, you know my name
Asteroid mining is a dangerous game
Imperial navy can’t keep up my pace
Chasing a rock into Zhodani space
You heard about me in the frontier wars
Psionic menace carrying alien spores
Still, this exists. So there’s that.
