[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX0qN6QEvGg[/media] I suddenly feel like fighting for Italy.
There are so many pieces that nobody uses for themes or machinimas but they would work so well. Here's a few: Anything from Jazz Suites Nos. 1 & 2 --- Shostakovich (yes I know) Pines of Rome, Pines of the Appian Way --- Respighi (badass piece of music) Planets Suite, specifically Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune --- Holst (great atmosphere) Turangalila Symphonie --- Messiaen (This would work especially well with a space or cosmic setting) Le Festin d'Esope --- Alkan (Good for a 101 ways to do "x" video. Has an amazing ending.) Transcendental Etude No. 6 "Storm" --- Lyapunov (Flying and/or falling) I've got a ton more if anyone runs out of soundtrack ideas.
Holy crap Shostakovich you're my new favorite poster. Also, fun fact: Leela from Futurama is named after Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony.

Lux aeterna - Clint mansell is the correct definition of epic
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK6TXMsvgQg[/media] This song gets my heart going and I always have this playing on Youtube whenever I play Counterstrike or Left 4 Dead.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c98gIxCe1zo[/media] Great song for a huge battle.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POHscfRZty8[/media] This song, alone...one of the main reasons I enjoyed ME2 so very much.
[QUOTE=myng;28967182]Crysis - Warrior Reveal, by Hans ZImmer [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETfTnDxRfvU[/media] You can just feel the dread and suspense.[/QUOTE] Except Hans Zimmer totally didn't do that. He did Crysis 2's music however.
Any piece of music ever composed by either Hans Zimmer or Two Steps From hell, [B][I]Ever[/I][/B]. That is all.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph1Sn3li54I[/media] This and the last song, Epilogue, are the songs Hans Zimmer worked on.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CHjYHwNzx0[/media] They say pimpin' isn't easy. But of you listen to "The Peter Gunn Theme" with your window down and cruising down your neighborhood, you are pimpin' easy.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhfaQuDtZ1E[/media] Ikaruga everything, and Castlevania.
Is it just me or is the type of music in OP really tiring to listen to? I mean, it works in the movie but listening to that action-packey type of orchestra it just tires me. The raw melody is excellent but when it comes to the intense parts it just gets boring to me. And to contribute: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR1UsEbuilM[/media]
This is more slow, methodical music. I like it a lot. It crescendos slowly. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ8tmkDLkLs[/media] Beethoven - Symphony #7 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQcE4_7-X78&feature=player_detailpage#t=69s[/media] God Speed You! Black Emperor - Sleep (skip to a 1 min in to skip vocals) (skip to 6.5 min to skip intro) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eZ_TgE3x_A[/media] God Speed You! Black Emperor - Storm (I cried a little bit during this when I saw them live) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv4CuIIspdE[/media] Johann Johannsson - Sun's Gone Dim (might remember this from the Battlefield LA trailer)
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12yBFzm_QTU[/media]
Yay, Beethoven's Symphony #7. Overused, but one of my favorite pieces ever. Bear Mcreary has done some amazing stuff, mostly on the Battlestar Galactica and Caprica soundtracks. All Along the Watchtower: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka_sHy9cVH0[/media] Prelude to War (epic drums): [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlcUwUwjLrs&feature=related[/media] Cybernetic Life Form Node (more epic drums): [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLA6ADrY8eQ[/media] Also of note is the Tron: Legacy soundtrack. Some great electronic / percussion pieces by Daft Punk. Adagio for Tron (high inspiration from Adagio for Strings, beautiful piece) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFIXKXYfEy0[/media] Also a personal favorite, Mars- the Bringer of War, by Gustav Holst. Anyone who played APB...blasting this from your car while running over pedestrians was the shit. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0bcRCCg01I[/media]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9H6ULM-Bwg[/media] Really gives a feel for what Iji's going through after having her family killed and getting forced into the role of savior of the earth. :frown:
The Medal of Honor series: Operation Market Garden: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DikOOKAsLEY&feature=related[/media] Dogs of War: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5bRi_7WbV4&feature=related[/media] Medal of Honor Allied Assault Main Theme [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ELFxB-tGhE[/media] Schmerzen [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1WPfxz0Jdo&feature=related[/media] Oh man, the climax that one builds up to is awesome.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyxADZ2x9RU[/media] Just listen do it.
[QUOTE=DrugUnit;28983224][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyxADZ2x9RU[/media] Just listen do it.[/QUOTE] Nein. :v:
what is this? kindergarten class?
Imagine the following. You're sitting in the cinema watching a movie that apparently sucks cock. Suddenly, the ground and seat is shaking like mad as this starts: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUexDov9v9o&hd=1[/media] Screen blasting with action and hot chicks. Fuck yes. 1. Map 2. Fire 3. Knife 4. Key 5. A mystery GO
Might already have been posted, but: [b]Audiomachine - Lost Generation[/b] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1tY3x6dBrI[/media]
List #2 Ysaye Sonata No. 3 Ballade --- (badass solo piece with an epic ending) Ysaye Sonata No. 2 Obsession --- (intense with Dies Irae undertones and dark atmosphere) Bach Chaconne --- (Another 101 ways to do "x". Variations on a theme that goes Dminor-Dmajor-Dminor) Bach 6 Sonatas and Partitas --- (A lot of really good stuff here) Ravel Pavane (piano version) --- (The original version of the piece. Very deep atmosphere.) Faure Pavane (orchestral version) --- (Great multipurpose piece) Sibelius Violin Concerto --- (Blizzard or sniper operation. Something cold and mysterious) Sibelius Symphony No. 2 --- (Very nationalistic, and rousing) Penderecki Polymorphia --- (Very unsettling piece. I dare you to listen to it at 2:00AM with the lights off and blindfolded.) If you need suggestions for classical soundtracks I still have a ton more pieces for machinima or video.
I love the TRON Legacy soundtrack by daft punk. Probably my favourite on the list is here. [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4cgLL8JaVI[/MEDIA]
I can't believe no one had [b]this[/b]... The Elder Scrolls Morrowind Theme. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWuNf4gxwuM[/media]
