Yeah this is where I'm at musically at the moment, listening to older soundtracks. If you get a chance have a listen to 'The Fountain' soundtrack, it's a little different but I think you may appreciate it. Will keep an eye on this thread for new ideas. The new version of the Time Machine has a good soundtrack too.

[Hellsmk2]

Requiem for a Dream
Run Rola Run
Flashbulb - Sountrack to a Vacent Life

 

[Sinny]

try Grindhouse & Kill Bill vol 1/2 soundtracks, they truly are awesome.

 

["andy"]

my favourite soundtracks are from irreversible and the shining

both perfectly set the scene and make you feel your a part of the film

both contain purely disturbing pieces of music though. the sort that makes you feel things that youd never think that just sound alone could do

things like

Fight Club soundtrack is good

 

[benjo]

Solaris soundtrack is good and relaxing, Cliff Martinez

 

[raz0rr]

A Beautiful Mind - James Newton Howard
The Rock - Hans Zimmer

Those two haven't been mentioned and are worth checking out.

Love this soundtrack. Haunting and perfectly suited to the film - as a remake, it would've been nothing without it.

I always thought the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack by Danny Elfman was amazing.

Just listened to the Stargate soundtrack... it's epic in that grand biblical sort of sense that has you gazing off into the distance fantasizing.

Some good suggestions too chaps, please just bear in mind that it's quite specifically the classical orchestral and traditional pipe/orchestra accompaniment stuff that i'm really looking for. I do love a lot of more modern tuff like the American Beauty soundtrack but it doesn't have quite the same tingle on my brain.
