I'm currently looking to add to my music collection - epic music, to be precise - in the style of Onewinged Angel, Doctor Who soundtracks and Ride of the Valkyries epic. Both game music and other scores are appreciated, of course! And it doesn't matter if it's classical orchestral or electric nose flutes, but the most fitting is in the line of what I've already mentioned. Thank you in advance!

Edit: Could a mod please move this to the off topic forum? Just realised it will be better there.

Oh god I do love the Doctor Who soundtracks.

Unfortunately there are tracks that never got officially released, like the one below.

But if you are looking for something different then 'Two Steps From Hell' do some brilliant tracks.


Also the Skyrim theme is pretty epic

For all your epic music needs.

But seriously.. You have groups like Two Steps From Hell, Imediate Music (and by extension Globus, who do lyrical versions of their songs), X-Ray Dog..

Then you got film composers like Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard and Clint Mansell..

Then on top of that many video game music composers like Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy until 2004), Shoji Merguro (Persona series) and Harry Gregson Williams (MGS2, 3 + 4.. and yes he was also a film composer as well).

How about some metal gear solid


Salute indeed.
Nice... a true patriot... *sniffs*

*Cough*
This is my favorite right now. At around 1:50 it really kicks the fucking awesome level up a notch.

Damn it Daystar! Do something that doesn't make me love you more!

Me too. I've found a few through browsing, but I have no idea which the best are.

Currently searching for more! Definitely my style.
Also the Skyrim theme is pretty epic
I've got the Peter Hollens/Lindsey Stirling cover. Somehow one voice and one violin makes it MORE epic.

Thank you all for the suggestions, by the way! I've added all but the 10 hour one, seeing as how I use Epic Sax Guy for that instead.

Epic? EPIC?

If you don't mind epic music with lyrics, I can give you more suggestions.

Well!

First we have the soundtrack from series 1&2, simply entitled 'Doctor Who (Original Television Soundtrack)'
Some of my favourite tracks are 'The Doctor's Theme', 'I'm Comming To Get You', the beautiful 'Face of Boe', 'Tooth and Claw' and both the Dalek and Cybermen themes.

Next is the series 3 soundtrack. It contains arguably the best track on all the soundtracks, 'All The Strange Strange Creatures', and another great piece called 'Boe' and other epic ones like 'The Futurekind', 'The Master Tape' and 'Just Scarecrows to War'

The series 4 soundtrack has one of my favourite pieces of epic music out of all 6 soundtracks. 'The Doctor's Theme Series 4' is basically the music from this scene;


It also has 'A Pressing Need To Save The World', 'Voyage of the Dammed Suite' 'The Dark and Endless Dalek Night' and the revised theme tune.

The Specials Soundtrack is something special indeed. Basically everything on the second disc is pure awesome. 'Dealing With The Menace' 'Speeding To Earth', 'Never To Old To Fly And Shoot' (a bonus track only available from iTunes, but an epic piece indeed), 'The Time Lords Last Stand' and 'The Clouds Pass'. Topped off with the beautiful 'Vale Decem' it's a brilliant soundtrack indeed! The first disc has its moments with tracks like 'A Forceful Intelligence'.

Series 5 and 6 soundtracks are pretty interchangeable to be honest. They are very good but they only have a few select tracks on my opinion. Series 5 has 'The Suns Gone Wibbly', 'Zero' and 'I Am The Doctor'


Series 6 soundtrack has 'Locked On', 'Pop' and the astounding 'The Majestic Tale (Of a Mad Man in a Box)'


Sorry if that went on a bit. I don't get to talk about the soundtracks as much as I would like ;)
Also the Skyrim theme is pretty epic
I've got the Peter Hollens/Lindsey Stirling cover. Somehow one voice and one violin makes it MORE epic.
I had never heard that version before so I went to look it up. While I don't deny that both Peter Hollens and Lindsey Stirling are very talented people. I don't think it's as epic as the original. The violin and background music drowns out Peter's voice too much for me.

Almost forgot about Kratos...Tsktsk....


Also if it might be also a bit heavier musically I'd point to this awesome progressive metal song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaN3pwBsRf8].

Nobunaga (both original and remixed) and Hideyoshi's themes from the Sengoku Basara anime series...

The lyrics for all of them are in German for added epicness.
