Diamond City Expansion - Lore Friendly Music (remove techno)

While I enjoy Diamond City Expansion the modern "techno swing" blasting all over the Red Seat District was really immersion breaking for me, I even avoided the mod because of this. Fallout society is stuck in the 1945-1965-era where modern electric sounds and thumping techno beats weren't invented. Well it bothered me so much that I did something about it!

I replaced all electro swing tracks with lore-accurate copyright free music. All tracks are normalised (meaning they fix the loud Red Seat District music problem) and preserve all effects (muffled, speaker sound etc.).

The mod is compatible with Diamond City Expansion - eXoPatch which I highly recommend using. It is also perfectly compatible with any and all Diamond City Expansion mods, patches and overhauls.

To install just drag and drop to your data folder or use your preferred mod manager.

The four replaced songs are, all copyright-free and I tried to pick smoky/fitting tunes to a rundown backstreet bar:

Atomic Bomb Blues - Homer Harris with Muddy Waters

Atomic Cocktail - Slim Gaillard Quartette

Atomic Sermon - Billy Hughes his Rhythm Buckeroos

Thirteen Women - Bill Haley his Comets

Music sourced from digitization archives, such as Internet Archive's

78-RPM Digitization Projects. Copyright free.

These are indeed copyright free songs. They've been published as part of the Conelrad mod series which been hosted on the nexus since 2009, for over 15 years.

Furthermore this is a British website. Applicable UK/EU law states that copyright

on music expires in 50 years, however it can be extended to 70 years

pending a few requirements:

- Music labels must re-negotiate with the artists on copyright and licensing.

- The music must be publicly available for purchase.

- The extension is NOT applied automatically it must be actively requested and demonstrated in court.

The full law is available under Copyright Notice: Duration of copyright (term) on the website of Intellectual Property Office of the United Kingdom Government.

All of these songs exceed 70 years of age.

Neither of these is applicable to the songs in this mod, it is public domain.
