I recently started to develop a more in depth interest towards scores and soundtracks. Here are some of my favorites:
Psycho: I love the heavy use of saw strings especially in the prelude. If you listen to that whole song you'll notice that a section of the song was sampled by Busta Rhymes for his song 'Gimme Some More'
Platoon: This is another winner mostly because of 'Adadio for Strings' As most of you know there have been countless remixes of this song, but I digress.
ET: It's simply an excellent passionate score.
Fugitive: I'm talking about the version with Harrison Ford. Most of the music is very mysterious and suspenseful.
Hitman 2 - Silent Assasin: This one is actually from a video game I was playing. The soundtrack is all orchestral and the tone of this score is that of a hard and edgy sound which is fitting for a shooting game. The composer is Jesper Kyd who in my opinion is the Hans Zimmer of video game scores. That guy's a genious. I've heard other people mention the music from Final Fantasy games but I have yet to listen or let alone play the game.
I'm looking to expand my knowledge in this area of music so I'd like to know what are some of your favorite scores/soundtracks? |

Zabielas the king of using amazing scores of films in sets....need i mention the ending to his 2004 essential mix (Greatest of all time) and the "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" samples in 4.2. Oh there was the childhood montage from the film "monster" aswell.
Film score wise theres loads, tv show wise tho the music from 24 is stunning...and theres one track from lost thats done over and over in different ways thats very nice to. |

I suggest: BT - Monster
aswell as the scores to the two matrix sequals. they have a nice blend of edm and orchestral music in some of the tracks. |

| Anything by williams is brilliant. Out of the non-williams scores, The Rock is by far my favorite. |
