aslightinyoureyes asked: soundtrack music.. anything by clint mansell especially off of the moon and the fountain soundtracks. the drive soundtrack. the inception soundtrack is pretty cool too (hans zimmer is super cool). also heard the jane erye soundtrack is cool too. old stuff.. the curious case of benjamin button (alexandre desplat), the amelie soundtrack rocks (yann tiersen), donnie darko ost, lotr soundtrack by howard shore, michael nyman also has some really lovely songs.

oh my goodness! so many recommendations! thank you very much :) I’ll keep you posted as I listen through them.

anecdote: as I was riding back home from this past semester of college with a friend, we listened through the soundtracks for Fellowship of the Rings and The Two Towers. in addition to being really, really good, they made the trip instantly epic. there’s nothing like listening to let’s-swing-swords-and-battle-evil music while negotiating interstate traffic! it was great. 

if I may offer you a few recommendations in turn, Bear McCreary’s Battlestar Galactica soundtrack (especially seasons 3 and 4) and John Powell’s The Bourne Supremacy are both excellent. 

thanks again!
