Lord Bizkit Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 What are the distinct differences between the two stations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioshenka Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I often wondered this myself. I don't think there is, just two pop stations? GTA_CAT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god speed Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) I think just the marketing. Head Radio is the one that claims to play "rock", while both stations still play pop music. Here's an earlier thread about the topic that I found BTW: Edited June 10, 2019 by perennial A8ul99 and Beato_dim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yinepi Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Head Radio plays pop with a more downbeat/depressing undertone. Lips plays pop with a more cheerful uplifting/flamboyant undertone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef_92 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The difference is that Lips has the song Grand Theft Auto by Da Shootaz :D. I think that we should also think about the topic why they didn't include Darude - Sandstorm in Rise FM. Ron Horse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they probably didn't have enough money to license such music then but it baffles me that there was no alternative or hard rock like how there was in 1 and 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Clef FM is all public domain renditions of classical songs. K-Jah is all tracks from Scientist's 1981 album "Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires" Flashback is all tracks from the Scarface soundtrack (probably the most commercial tracks in the game), and were also all produced by Giorgio Moroder who later provided the soundtrack for the LCS rendition of Flashback. MSX FM is all tracks from the UK based Moving Shadow record label, with the radio station itself being a shorter version of DJ Timecode's 01.1 mix, hosted by MC Codebreaker. Rise FM is all tracks from a short lived Chicago record label named Generation Records. Game Radio is all tracks from New York based record label Game Recordings, and the show is hosted by Stretch Armstrong from Stretch & Bobbito (legendary NY hip hop radio) and Lord Sear.

Damn now I see they managed to create a good soundtrack with so few material. It's like the map, it feels a lot more bigger than it actually is.

Guest Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I think it's great they managed to create a soundtrack that matches the era and atmosphere of the game incredibly well with only one of the stations being composed of somewhat popular music. I presume the last 3 on the list above probably did it as they were smaller labels back then and figured it'd be easy promotion, plus Moving Shadow had already worked with Rockstar previously on GTA2 and Midnight Club prior to GTA3.
