[QUOTE="Bendris Noulg, post: 1462210, member: 6398"] [i]Lord of the Rings[/i] Soundtracks... Between 3 albums there is a wide variety of musical "mood". [i]Gladiator[/i] is simply excellent. [i]Dune[/i] (Dave Lynch's version), but avoid Tracks 10 and the last Track (to much Toto comes through...), and [i]Children of Dune[/i] (Sci-Fi Channel's version)... Both are fairly grand and epic sounding, with [i]Dune[/i] being a bit on the dark and gloomy side. When dealing with "natives" and the like, I tend to pull out Micky Hart or Native American music. [i]Dark City[/i] has some excellently creepy stuff as well as a track or two that are very combative. [i]Hulk[/i] is actually a decent soundtrack, as are the X-Men soundtrack. [i]Star Trek[/i] has a good number of excellent tracks, but they are scattered across ten albums (Klingon War Anthom!), and same goes for [i]Star Wars[/i] ([i]Asteroid Field[/i] from Episode V), although both have heavily-recognized "themes" that can offset the mood being set by recognition/familiarity. When fighting the "hordes" or some such, I tend to pull out the Slayer... Corrosion of Conformity's [i]Echoes in the Well[/i] is an excellent mood-setter ("Listen to the battle cries of a race that knows it's dying..."), as are Judas Priest's [i]Rocka Rolla[/i] and Rush's [i]Bytor and the Snow Dog[/i]. And this list will continue forever if I keep typing... [/QUOTE]
