Anyone listen to trailer music?

 

[Rednamalas1]

another vote for lux aeterna by Clint Mansell.

Amazing example of how a movie's suspense and emphasis could be synchronized with the beautiful piece of music.

It's a bit overplayed everywhere else though.

I've tried listening to Two Steps From Hell a couple of times, but every time I do it reminds me of some crappy blockbuster.

Not exactly a soundtrack since a number of the pieces were not used in the movie but all were composed at the invitation of the director, Tim Robbins. Absolutely stunning CD that I still enjoy after more than ten years.

Clockwork Orange
Repo Man

 

[progo]

So many excellent ones have been mentioned but not one particularly atmospheric composer, Angelo Badalamenti.

Mulholland Drive,
Lost Highway, (the parts that are original)
Twin Peaks and the movie FWWM,
Blue Velvet ...just amazing stuff.

The 10-hour collection of LOTR soundtracks by Howard Shore is a masterpiece; Don Davis with his Matrix trilogy score has also a place in my heart.

Natural Born Killers, my fav by a large margin because it intro'd me to both Leonard Cohen and Cowboy Junkies. Sorcerer by Tangerine dream, and Blade Runner by Vangelis are both excelent.

IMO decent, not noteworthy. I prefer AudioMachine, Future World Music, X-Ray Dog, Immediate Music studios.

YouTube - Guardians At The Gate - audiomachine: Platinum Series III:Eterna (New "Avatar" Trailer)
YouTube - Aqua Vitae - Future World Music
YouTube - Duel of the Fates - X-ray dog - Dethroned
YouTube - Immediate Music - Grand Inquisition

Hmm, I have a lot of anime soundtracks but not for Grave of the Fireflies or Jin-Roh. I'll have to check those out sometime.

Have you heard OST 4- for Ghost in the Shell? It's a pretty cool mix of different pieces into one continuous track.

The Soundtrack to the Adventures of Pete & Pete by Polaris == Great album, It makes me sad to think that other musicians can sell albums when Polaris is doing better work on the soundtrack to a 90's Nickelodeon show.

Perhaps those other artists wouldn't stand a chance if the soundtrack was endorsed by the strongest man... in the world!
