I listened to so many music tracks as I wrote Aliens Vs. Wizards. So much of the thematic inspiration came from the 80’s Techno genre and even modern tunes based off of it. I had gotten the TRON: Legacy soundtrack by Daft Punk for this very reason, and it did not disappoint. Many of the songs in the playlist are songs I had in mind for a long time, such as David Bowie’s ‘Modern Love’ for a particular scene that had played out in my head many times over the years, and I finally found a place for that scene in this novel.
This is a unique playlist, compared to ones I’ve posted here for my past novels, because there was actually a story within a story this time around, with so much of the opening revolving around the fictional film series ‘Cyborg Ninja’ which itself has a mini-soundtrack included here below the playlist for Aliens Vs. Wizards. The first movie would have come out in the 80’s, so the songs are all from around that era.
I’ve also updated my Pinterest Board for Aliens Vs. Wizards to include categories, naming each character or group, with a few new images added.
So without further ado, here is the playlist I created for Aliens Vs. Wizards (in sequential order)
