Thumping, Pumping Soundtracks

[DANI!]

Hi All

Wonder if you could help out.

Got a big project in front of me, gonna need late hours and lots of days. I find some music gives me a massive adrenalin boost. Usually into heavy metal, the more agressive dance tracks, but like all sorts. And what I am finding at the moment, is a few soundtracks are really doing the job.

Wondered if you could offer more. You know the sound. Powerful, Orchestral, Not Happy Clappy like Star Wars, but "Serious" and emotional, but in a powerful way....can't find the worRAB...so lets just say, at the moment,

The Dark Knight
The Matrix "Revolutions"
and some of Angels and Demons.

are doing the job......

But need more POWER!!!

Have at it.

The Magnificent Seven always gets me going. And Where Eagles Dare is a good 'un too.

Cant explain but very awe-inspiring

 

[Rev. wing wang woo woo]

Nice one. That is beautiful, and bang on the money.

Got Mag7 on DVD, watch it regularly. Sound track is too "happy" though.

Will give Eagles a go.

Back to the Star Wars analogy. The original Star Wars theme, would not be what I am looking for. But the "Duel of the Fates" would be what I am after.......so that sort of "feeling".........

Battlestar Galactica has quite a lot of tracks that I think sound like you describe.

There are probably better examples but those were the first off the top of my head.

I think Crank had a adrenalin feulled sound track to go with the plot of the movie.

Howabout Lux Auterna from Requiem for a Dream?

 

[The Wyrd.]

Going through all these slowly......so thanks for all the tips so far.

I missed the new BattelStar, so had no idea of the music. But wow, yes, you have my mood neeRAB down right.....

Funny. Was watching Andromeda on BlinkBox the other day, and remarking on how utter shite the music was, like done on a kiRAB keyboard........so never really considered TV music, but this stuff is great.

Thanks for the tip. Keep em coming.

You never know, I might even explode.........

Yes, excellent choice. I also love the end scene/credits song by the Pixies: so apt.

One of my favourite soundtracks is the one for The Warriors

 

[xr200dirtrider1121]

The Rock

 

[iluvcrazeekats2]

I really like the Clerks and Lost Highway soundtracks, which would probably fit the kind of thing that the OP is looking for.

 

[hahah]

If you want some emotional strings and also some thumping beats then check out the Bangkok Dangerous (2008) OST.

Plenty more Zimmer you could indulge yourself in.

Black Hawk Down and Gladiator being two of my favourites.

It's impossible to listen to the Battle and not feel pumped.

Leave no man behind from Black Hawk Down is also great.

Both albums are worth a look.

 

[chima_mass5]

Yes, there's a fantastic score to this. A rare Soundtrack Album that I bothered to buy.

 

[Aiman]

"Tomorrow Belongs To Me", from Cabaret. Very powerful. Or maybe Nino Rotas' main theme from Death On The Nile.

I adore the LOTR soundtracks! I had some fun last week rereading the Fellowship of the Ring while listening to the corresponding soundtrack. (I do indeed know how to have fun)
