Look up "Soundtrack For the Voices in my Head Vol1" its more an instrumental album than a soundtrack for anything but its an interesting listen. You can get it for free but you don't get all the tracks and they come with some stupid advertisement at the start. eitherway give it a try you wont be dissapointed

I really like the music from the God of War games, as well as the Prince of Persia ones.

I can't think of any except for those because I tend to get lost in the game if the music's good :P

MindChamber 2009-01-14 14:31:36

Soundtracks from "the Saint" (the one with val kilmer) and "romeo and Juliet"(the one with leonardo Dicaprio) are simply untouchable.

Ive played those CDs to the point of no return.

DarKsidE555 2009-01-14 15:43:34

LIEK LOL BUY SOME MEGAMON SOUNDTRACK! OLOLOLOLOL

MantisClock 2009-01-14 16:12:29

TheUnknownEntity 2009-01-14 16:24:51

Hehe, I think we have very similar music tastes... here's a few of my favorites and whatnot

ANIME:

Noein - Good mix of songs with "chanting" and whanot, as well as few with a renaissance like feel

Rozen Maiden - All the music is pretty much just classical, aka piano, but still really good

VIDEO GAMES:

Soul Calibur IV - That shit is epic, I'm telling you

Kingdom Hearts II - Good mix of piano and other instruments to create a really good sound... One of my all time favorites

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - This a must, all the music is done with classic guitars and other pagan instruments. This one is my favorite hah

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King - I know that sounds lame, but trust me, the soundtrack to the latest expansion is really nice. Some of it is more ambience, but there's some good "music" too. All of it has a Scandinavian feel

Gears of War 2 - There are only a few songs that are good, but they're really good. However it's hard to see "how good" they are just by playing the game, you need to listen to them individually.

Any Halo game - Do I need to explain? :D

I guess thats it for now, I own all of these so if you're interested I can just upload them for you get to for free hah, there's also this website

<a href="http://downloads.khinsider.com/">http://downloads.khinsider.com/</a>

It has free DLs for tons of videogame and anime soundtracks... however as of late, a lot of them have stopped working

Hope this helps

Anything from Blizzard games. Their in-game OST's are absolutely incredible, especially those from Warcraft III RoC and TFT.

In fact, I don't believe you can pull it off.

That my friend, is a challenge!

Sialys 2009-01-14 17:19:59

Sorry, I forgot to provide links to a couple songs.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXajx7l4VxE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXajx7 l4VxE</a> - Simple.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGbiK1tdkZY&feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGbiK1 tdkZY&feature=related</a> - Has a very eerie ambient feel.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6_d1fhEXTY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6_d1f hEXTY</a> - The percussion in this is extremely varied and perfectly done. After 2:40 however, it's very boring, so don't even bother listening.

Warcraft III is at the top of my list for favorite games. And you are second only to Lashmush for my favorite Newgrounds musicians.

I'll buy you a cookie if you produce Warcraft III style song. :D

fluffkomix 2009-01-14 17:28:37

try april 29 1992 by sublime, or i won't be home for christmas by blink 182.

i want to make MVs for these

SWiTCH 2009-01-14 17:43:08

The Age of Conan soundtrack by Knut Avenstroup Haugen is far and away my favorite movie/game soundtrack (and I listen to a lot).

28 Weeks Later is another favorite.
Titan Quest, Diablo 2, Requiem for a Dream...

Do you know E.S. Posthumus?
They do epic orchestral songs that sound like they should be soundtracks.
It's really great stuff. I'd recommend their album "Unearthed".
Their new cd "Cartographer" is very different and not as good imo.

MindChamber 2009-01-14 18:13:48

Not sure if I ever told you but I used your song "Machine of Judgement" for this lil clip

and it fit perfectly thanks

Whoa, this hits up my alley! It seems we share a sibilance of some sort. I actually I have an undying love for film scores, and other odds and ends.

A few of my absolute favorites from each genre include:

Anime//
Cowboy Bebop - Yoko Kanno (I still can't believe the versatility of this composer)
Record of Lodoss War - Wada Kaoru (you've got to listen to the intro song)
Macross Plus - Yoko Kanno (I recommend listening to Voices the Full orchestra version)

Videogame OSTs//
Final Fantasy Tactics - Masaharu Iwata and Hitoshi Sakimoto (my absolute favorite from this genre)
Chrono Chross - Yoko Shimomura
Ecco the dolphin - Spencer Nielsen (ambience..)
Kameo - Steve Burke (this actually closely reminds me of your work)
Katamari Fortissimo Damacy - Yu Miyake (Makes for some fun times)
Spellforce 2 - Tilman Sillescu
Viewtiful Joe - Sayaka Morita & Masami Ueda (Extremely well-crafted electronica compositions.)
If you're into overclocked remix, check out the Project Majestic Mixes.

Film Soundtracks// I'm not sure what type of "mood" you're looking for in film soundtracks, so i'll start by listing only the "epic" hollywood sounds. I also will skip the composers in your favorites since you're probably aware of their works.

King Arthur - Hans Zimmer (heh, just in case you missed out :-)
CutThroat Island - John Debney (Great orchestral pieces, Yarr!)
Poseidon - Klaus Badelt (Very engrossing...)
Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow - Edward Shearmur (Heroic triumph!)
Tales from Earthsea - Tamiya Terashima (One of my favorites...very moving)
The Mummy - Jerry Goldsmith
The Goonies - Dave Grusin (I love the flow of the strings section)

In terms of single tracks, just one. From the Lion King - Stampede - Hans Zimmer (probably one of the most underrated orchestra pieces).

I have a feeling you're already aware of immediate music, media ventures, x-ray dogs, and the likes but in case you haven't; they provide production library music for films/trailers, offering themes/cues with surprising results. I recommend grabbing immediate music's latest offering, "Theme for Orchestra and Choir 3".

I wholly recommend Zekey's recommendations as well. Oh.. and talking about Zekey.. Check out the Ren And Stimpy Production Music for all your classic tunes needs! *sparkle*

That's all I have to offer for the moment. If there's anything you wish to discuss about, I'll gladly accept a PM. But guess you've got your ears full for the moment! Well, good luck in your searches and I'll admit, I actually had some fun searching and listening for that special sound. :-)

Rig 2009-01-14 19:30:06

Anything by Klaus Badelt. Epic orchestra/guitar stuff :D

NineInchNailsOwnz 2009-01-14 20:02:42

Harry Gregson Williams - His work with the Metal Gear Solid series, especially MGS3 and MGS4. (Debriefing, Old Snake, etc.)

And this may or may not seem unorthodox but the Silent Hill series always provides when it comes to ambient, horror based, or lyrical themed music.

Other than that I'm not certain but if I remember correctly the Xenosaga series had some pleasant instrumental symphony based pieces.

Fuoco 2009-01-14 21:38:55

Woah, people already mentioned a lot of soundtracks I like.
Well, I'll just mention a couple of favorites.

Naruto Shippuden- Tasuharu Takanashi.
Even though a lot of people hates the series, the soundtrack is simply amazing.

Golden Sun- Motoi Sakuraba.
This guy composes some fantastic battle music.

Fuoco 2009-01-14 21:39:33

Whoops, I meant Yasuharu Takanashi.

Zyphonee 2009-01-14 22:17:50

How's about you check the music from Akira Yamaoka, really deep and epic, works both for a game or movie, that guy is a genius, check that out.
And of course, I can't go through without recommending music from K%u014D %u014Ctani, a great composer, which someone must've already told you of, but he's really great, Michiru Oshima is also great!

CrazyShuba 2009-01-14 23:58:04

Wow, I remember Cabal.
The music was amazing.

As for some suggestions, I can't really think of anything.
I didn't see the music for this freeware game Iji on the list, so I'll say that.
Just google it.
Some of the music might be covers, but it's all good.
And you can download the music high quality by itself on the site, too.
=D
