I´ve got some musics that remind me alot Thief 1 Cities and Melan citie missions:
Sven Väth - "Face it"
Sven Väth - "Augenblick"
Sven Väth - "Sounds control your mind"
Holden and Thompson - "Nothing"
James Holden - "One for you"
Jens Lissat - "White Horse"
Echomen - "Perpetual"
Echomen - "Cure"
Cosmic Gate - "Guess who?"
Scan X - "Chaos"
Also some of the Jeff mills productions remind me the victorian mansions of thief 2
What musics does remind you thief, or what would you suggest me to hear to feel like i´m in the thief world?

Nothing I can think of atm., since Thief pretty much is made to not listen to music, unfortunately. Unless you go careless, put on some song and at a corner a guard you didn't hear notices you and chases you, so you have to kill him.
Didn't exactly go that way when this song associated me to Love Story I, though. The song is Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd.
Ok, so it's not, that there's a song that associates me with Thief in general, moreso some seperate FMs...

I had no idea stuff like "DA" bands existed! Thanks, Yandros, for that, and to cardia1 for starting this. It will be interesting to see what people come up with.
As for music in Thief: I like lots of different kinds of musics, but really like the nice lengths authors go to to put really good stuff in their missions. Lady Rowena did a really good job choosing different ones for The Seven Sisters. I especially liked the Corvus Corax song called Titenka. It led me to find an even better song I like of theirs, Scotus. I haven't bought any yet, but maybe one day.
I like a lot of the ones authors have chosen for intros & outros, but I can't recall any of them at the moment. Except the one at the end of Calendra's Legacy. Really liked that one.
I think selections should be limited to "mostly" instrumental stuff...anything with lyrics in it should probably be reserved for the outros (closing credits). There, it seems Ok, anywhere else seems "wrong" for some reason.
As for what I like while DromEding: Arcadia's "So Red The Rose" album, all of Blind Guardian, Demons & Wizards, Buckcherry, Linkin Park, Helloween, Iced Earth, medieval music for lute & mandolin (Linn Barnes and Allison Hampton's "Sylvan Court" for one), Evanescence, Godsmack, Seether, Hammerfall, lots of classical symphonies/concertos, Tool, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, The Offspring....man, the list goes on forever.
Music is definitely a must, and really great music selections in a FM really make them stand out. But, don't overdo it though.

Kammarheits seems to have nice dark ambient music, i´m going to check more about this artist, thanks for this suggestion Russ, Hit Deity, what medieval music would you suggest me to listen? i mean nothing with metal influence, something more genuine for the medieval times.
Here´s a music that i really and reminds me alot Thief 1 cities at night:

Kammarheit is great, I discovered him just a few months ago. You should also check out Sephiroth (Ulf Soderberg) as well although his music incorporates more tribal percussion, but is still fantastic.

I can' find any samples online anywhere for you to listen to, but this one is one of my favorites:

Medieval folk music: some fast, some slow. Probably my favorite I've found.

I´ve been listening to Ulf Soderberg, this artist got some nice dark musics, he´s productions could be used in thief missions:)
