Soundtracks: Music for Work
Posted on 11/30/12 at 10:25 am

I've been into soundtracks lately, I have found they provide possibly the best background music for working. No lyrics for me to sing, but great emotional rides and if you listen to the right stuff, can make you feel super productive.
Nothing like working on the last pages of a report and hearing the ID4 theme come on. No I'm not killing aliens but it makes me feel totally awesome.
Anyways, I would get specific and say "Most Heroic soundtracks," Or "Most bombastic," but whatever. What are some underrated soundtracks?
Most heroic for me right now:
1. <---- Captain America - One of the better modern scores
2. Thor - Patrick Doyle Kills it, great score for that film
3. Tron Legacy - Well done, but too frantic with the short pieces
4. John Carter - Good soundtrack for an underrated film
5. Transformers Dark of the Moon - Both the first and third film have excellent scores with a ton of brash heroic-sounding music.

Yeah even before the Youtube, that was one of those scores I could recall no matter what. I've been looking for it, apparently even physical copies are extremely rare.
Any other ideas?
We all work, I'm sure some can find use for this.
Obviously, nI rock BSG a lot of the time, all of the season, plus the movies and Caprica. Bear McCreary's work on that is pretty much unmatched for television scores.

Anything by John Williams. Cannot overrate this guy.
Plus Immortal Beloved, although it's Beethoven. I'm partial to The Hunt for Red October but I'm not sure if it's underrated.

I can. I mean he's the best in terms of soundtracks during films.
Most of his stuff isn't listenable outside of that. I don't know why, that's probably personal.

Gladiator soundtrack..
I <3 you Freaux
I agree on John Williams...i have the Star Wars soundtrack and other than the Imperial March i get almost nothing out of listening to it.

It's ok actually, not Zimmer's best work though.

What would you consider his best work?

He's got a lot of work, but Crimson Tide was stellar, very classic in construction.
Broken Arrow was also underrated, and although we can argue about it he did co-write the stuff for a League of Their Own which really captured the time well.
Gladiator was just a modern-action bombast with little weight (honestly, Transformers is more robust, listen to it and try to think of Shia).

i was just trying to figure out the best ones to get. I have most of his recent stuff (Batmans, Inception, POTC etc.)

Most Intense:
The Fountain
Most Heroic:
Last of the Mohicans - Close to Most Heroic
Halo OST - Most Heroic (I know, not a movie, but still fricking amazing)
See also:
The Other Boleyn Girl
For slow building, atmospheric, and melodic stuff, check out Mono, a Japanese quartet in a similar vein of Explosions in the Sky. Particularly, check out "Trailer 3."

It's pretty good. I like both Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age. Any other VG soundtracks you know of? Modern orchestral stuff, not old 16 bit MIDI. I do have some old Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy...but I'm lost on the good modern stuff.
Although Giacchino did Call of Duty 1 or 2? And Bear McCreary did Medal of Honor.

The Shenmue OST is pretty amazing and so is Star Wars KOTOR's, iirc.

I love piano
