I have the Dark Knight, Alice in Wonderland, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Sherlock Holmes OSTs from him. Do you know of any other CDs that I should get?

Oh and what are some other artists that make great music similar to him? I'm open to anything

Thanks in advance.

I love his work also. Have you played MW2? MW2 OST was GRAND especially the cliffhanger mission after the bomb goin' off. Plan B is the name of the song...absolutely love it. Other must check out movies in which he composed the scores:

Black Hawk Down
Gladiator
The Holiday
The Last Samurai
Pearl Harbor
The Rock
The Prince of Egypt
Batman Begins

and a myriad more...

Hope you like 'em. I literally listened to some of his songs more than 2000 times and I still can't get enough...

Oh also Mission Impossible 2, The Lion King, Kung Fu Panda had some good scores that I'd throw on the table for the sake of argument.

And was ost from MW2 released on CD? Because I only found music taken directly from game and quality really sucks.


Also check this one, my favourite:

Doesn't look like they released an official score release. I can't find any lossless sources either including private trackers. Had to settle for 320kbps.

@Bina: I actually have that CD, although I only really used it as a guideline to go and buy the actual cd from whatever movie that track was for

I'm ordering the Batman Begins and Pearl Harbor CDs right now I'm going to go broke.

James Horner composed some pretty impressive scores too. Braveheart(never have I heard bagpipes sound so blend with the movie), Titantic, Avatar. Steve Jablonsky did Transformers 1, 2, Gears of War 2. Of course Howard Shore The Lord of The Rings trilogy, Se7en. Thomas Newman on Meet Joe Black. If you played Mirror's Edge & loved the ending theme like I did, then I will mention Lisa Miskovsky sang Still Alive. Solar Fields composed the score for the game I believe.
