 Geek.com Geek News - Rock 'n' roll 'n' videogames
Getting popular bands' music as pieces of video game soundtracks helps both the gaming company and the band make money, and even unknown bands can be useful for video game makers since they don't have to pay as much to get those new bands' music.
Video game companies looking to get a boost from including popular music are learning that getting all the necessary rights for a song can be pretty ugly, though.
Thus, it's not too surprising to see this push to get music into video games, considering how popular video games are becoming.

Last night, Brian Fargo and Interplay officially launched Heart of Darkness at the Galaxy Theatre in Irvine, California, complete with an outdoor rock climbing station and a 70s funk band.
I even remember Steven Spielberg sitting in the same room with me to watch the introduction video to the game, and afterward he approaching the developers, Amazing Studios, about the possibility of making a movie out of the game.
At that E3, Heart of Darkness was the buzz of the show – this was before Toy Story had been released in theatres and everyone thought the character animation in the game was truly revolutionary.

 [ compilation / split ] titles at Aquarius Records
Anyway, Gold is an album of mostly instrumentals, a post-rock/prog/cock-rock concoction that finds the common ground betwixt the two parent bands and that means a lot of Thin Lizzy and a little bit of Kraftwerk/video game music, plus some of the Krautrocky psychedelia of Tim Green's Concentrick project as well...
But it's not a competition and both bands are winners, with Dilute being one of the Bay Area's best, most creative post/indie rock combos and Hella being NoCal's answer to Lightning Bolt, a two-piece instrumental tour de force.
These two bands usually sound nothing alike -- The Gossip's all about beltin' out their raw indie soulful blues whereas Tracy And The Plastics whoop it up with used and abused lo-fi electronics -- but on Real Damage it's super hard to tell where one band ends and the other begins.

Band influences are eclectic, including artists in genres as varied as jazz fusion, punk rock, Russian folk music, video game soundtracks, and even classical music (Brummel and Slegr fight over whether Claude Debussy or Dmitri Shostakovich will play on the stereo on their long commutes to UCLA).
Ozma formed when songwriters Slegr and Jose Galvez (who had been playing in rock groups with drummer Patrick Edwards since middle school) met Daniel Brummel (bassist, singer, songwriter) 5 years ago on the internet, and ever since then, they have used the medium to their advantage.
Ozma slyly incorporates their broad musical tastes into a unique and unified sound; some contemporary acts that come up in descriptions of the band are Smashing Pumpkins, Ben Folds Five, and Weezer.
