This is for those musical scores that transcends a trailer, movie, tv series, game, etc.....into something that much more. Into something epic.

Here are my first three contributions:

All Along the Watch Tower by Bob Dylan, remixed by Jimi Hendrix and again by Bear McCreary and BT4 from BSG, needs no introduction:

Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell. Used initially for the drug addict movie Requiem for a Dream but has since become a cult classic and featured in more movie trailers than you can shake a hypodermic needle at. Legend has it, this score was played as a lullaby for Chuck Norris when he was a baby.

Lonely Dusk by Methodic Doubt - Machine Vandals. Used in the Avatar Last Air Bender trailer as well as the new Green Lantern flick.

Feel free to add your favs

Last night on PBS I watched piece of a concert called "Videogames LIVE". Basically, it's an orchestra on stage (full orchestra complete with choir) performing videogame soundtracks. They did Castlevania, Civilisation, Halo, even FF VII: One Winged Angel to name a few.

All I have to say is when the Mario pianist left the stage, I screamed like a B!TCH!!!

*No links, sorry. I'm on work but I HAD to spread the word.*
