Good Soundtracks
 

I'm looking for 'epic' movie/tv/videogame soundtracks. I can think of many good classics like raiders of the lost ark, jurrasic park and chariots of fire..but i'm looking for something with a lot of suspense and has a nice gradual build up

I'll start with 3 that fits the criteria

Clint Mansell- Lux Aeterna (Requiem for a Dream)

John Murphy- In the House, In a Heartbeat (28 Days Later)

Nick Ingman & Terry Devine-King- Mars (Heavy Rain)

Anything hans zimmer

One of my favorite sound tracks would be Forest Gump but I know that's not the kind of style you are looking for right now.

had the chills when i first heared this

any metal gear solid tracks or batman begins and dark knight. maybe armageddon too? or brave heart?

I've been looking into this too recently
and the mass effect soundtrack is pretty good too

Daft Punk - TRON LEGACY OST. Sooo much good shit on this OST. It came out fairly recently and I haven't heard the whole thing yet. A few that stand out (so far):

Like the whole opening scene from Gladiator - music is SO well-done in that movie, you can actually visualize the action as you listen to it.

Of course, for epic building swelling movie music, it's hard to beat Richard Strauss:

I wanna learn to play the piano part.

Some of my fav. soundtracks are TRON LEGACY, Gone Baby Gone & Blood Diamond.

thanks..keep 'em coming guys. many of these don't have the nice buildup i was initially looking for but they are all pretty good :)

Tron legacy..wow killer ost

I've got a few I'll share with ya that I believe fit the style you're looking for:





This one is EARLY 90's Zimmer, so it's got that vintage HZ sound to it. It's not quite what you're looking for but it's got a lot of swells of dramatic and mellow bits, so it might work... especially if you want to splice parts of it out:

Again, not necessarily what you're looking for, but it's close :lol:

I'll add more once I can think of 'em.

He made some really good scores.

I like the score from the rock with Nicolas Cage

i just found another good one

Alright, I'm going to whore it because this is my area of expertise LOL







Enjoy :)
