:thumbsup:

Good one, I forgot all about that song. Now that you mention it, I forgot all about those CDs. I'm going to have to re-rip those tonight.

 
Gladiator Soundtrack - Emperor Is Dead, Elysium, Honor Him, and Now We Are Free could possibly work.
Hans Zimmer ftw.

I love EITS! Thanks for reminding me of them


If you're in the u.s. they're touring at the moment.

I saw them a couple years ago...lets put it this way.

There's my life pre-explosions in the sky live and then my life after.

They would be amazing live, I'll check them out if they come to NYC. They do smaller clubs, which would be nice.

Working on this compilation/video for work and need a background song for it, without lyrics.

any suggestions?

Thanks

Rough draft of the video draft

Use the intro of (Tiesto - forever today) its beautifully sad

that it is! it's a little short (3:15 seconds) but if he has other work that might fit the groove, i'm all ears (4:50-:5:10 is my target duration)

around 5 mins? mmh... not an opening peice. I'm at work now, but if you have time, I'll go home and check my extended albums, I may have a longer peice
 
*Update - they want something edgier*
The track I chose was deemed too sedate. Now they want something a little more driving, modern, and emotional. I had them listen to a NIN track from the fragile (instrumental) and they said it worked but was a little TOO agressive. So electonic/almost industrial. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
 
P.S. I just wanted to thank all of you guys for your excellent suggestions - you're all saving me a lot of time and making my life easier. I truly appreciate it and owe all of you some cold beers!
