    Music to Roleplay By

Here are some fine selections of film scores to listen to while roleplaying, as selected by Caerdwyn. The CD images link to the soundtrack's information page on Amazon.com, where you can also listen to a few samples and read reviews on the albums.

Conan the Barbarian
Basil Poledouris
Conan the Destroyer
Basil Poledouris
Excellent fantasy music overall, with lots of epic tracks for traveling, fighting, and even some slower 'mood' music. Excellent soundtrack and well worth having! Not quite as impacting as the original Conan soundtrack, 'Destroyer' has a slower pace and a less grand presence overall. Some great 'action' pieces regardless.

LotR: Fellowship of the Ring
Howard Shore
The 13th Warrior
Jerry Goldsmith
Mostly slow, foreboding music, with a few more whimsical tracks for the Hobbits' music and bombastic themes for triumphant times. Some great 'evil' music as well. A lot of stereotypical Norse/Viking influence here with a touch of Arabian themes to match the culture clash of the movie. Lots of percussion and interesting horns.

Braveheart
James Horner
First Knight
Jerry Goldsmith
A soundtrack that really runs the gamut. Braveheart more than sufficiently covers the savagery of battle and the softness of romance, while incorporating ethnic instruments and themes. A lot of excellent 'fight' or 'tension' music, with a great deal of percussion and choral work. A lot of emotion in these pieces. A great medieval/fantasy soundtrack that no one should be without.

Last of the Mohicans
Jones, Edelman
Cutthroat Island
John Debney
The original soundtrack and still the best (don't buy the remake), featuring both rousing action themes and haunting, emotional pieces. Often overlooked. A lot of fanfare, with heroic trumpets and strings alongside a competent chorus. Another epic soundtrack that covers both the action of adventure and the emotion of romance.

The Thin Red Line
Hans Zimmer
Gladiator
Hans Zimmer
This score is very slow moving and highly emotional. It is great background music, with soft, sweeping themes and works best for 'atmosphere' sound. One of Zimmer's best and overlooked scores. Another of Zimmer's greats, this score mixes his talents for making powerful music with the subtleties of Lisa Gerrard's magnificent voice. The vocal pieces are soothing, the action is harsh and razor-edged, and overall this is a score to own.
