Music similar to TT's?

[hory_r]

I've been in love with the Transport Tycoon music since forever (who hasn't) and always considered it quite unique. I know this genre isn't really something exclusive to TT, but I just can't find anything similar. Sure, I occasionally hear something like it but I have no idea who the artists are or what the genre is called.

Can you please recommend some similar artists and perhaps albums? It's driving me mad. Thanks.

Hi, I really enjoy the locomotion music too.
It sort of goes from the twenties to the modern times.
If you can get the game just buy it for the music !

It's old school jazz. Try something like swing.

I could recommend the french band Trafic de Blues...free download here ->link<-. Swing-Jazz and Blues-ish stuff is what you're searching for.
Yeah, I know it's late, but I just found this band and remembered this thread.

Thanks for the suggestions. Trafic de Blues is definately good.
I think it's hard to pin the TT music to one genre, since it combines so many... jazz, blues, swing, ragtime, funk - all in the same track. Maybe that's why it's so great.
