moody soundtracks

I forgot about Passion. Great album! There was a SACD available as well. How could I forget one of my other favorite artists Michael Stearns. The Chronos, Sacred Site & Baraka soundtracks are all great. What about Tangerine Dream's work on Risky Business? Now I'm on a roll...all of Popol Vuh's stuff for all the Werner Herzog movies? My favorites of those are Nosferatu and Aguirre. I saved the best for last...Blade Runner by Vangelis.

Two words - Hans Zimmer

Thin Red line, Gladiator, oh my God - Black Hawk Down...

Also the score to The Crow, soundtrack's good too.

Synthfreek, surprised you didn't say A Clockwork Orange.

try Philip Glass's Dracula performed by the Kronos Quartet

What about the soundtracks to Traffic and Solaris? Those are both pretty good too. Also a great great on that is kind of hard to come by is the one for the Brothers Quay movie Institute Benjamenta.

Agree with Ejlif and Synthfreek. Passion is the one CD that I would want if shipwrecked on a desert island...... Fantastic but for some it take a few times thru to really like it. I had to listen to it several times to really start to enjoy it, but now its my all time fav.
