yeh, it’s a genre and usually relates to the crazy music scores for video games and movies.
right now I’m listening to the composers / singers that go by the name ‘Two Steps From Hell’.

Dead serious… does Trance count?
no…trance is electronic.
I do. Listen to anything Hans Zimmer, Video Game Soundtracks of action packed games. That’s what I recommend.

Will look for a few of these. I remember loving the “Equilibrium” movie soundtrack (…hey, I need to watch this movie again – and I need the DVD).
Especially this song:
By Klaus Badelt apparently.
none of this music is trance. it’s electronic and I would say close to Epic if not being Epic. trance lul’s you into a hypnotic state with it’s repetitiveness, which none of this has.
Yes. So much yes. Current personal favorite is the Dragon Age Inquisition Theme. Pretty simple, but the ambience is ‘epic’ lol.
Other good tunes in no particular order…
- Back to the future theme
- At the Gates from the Knights of Badassdom Soundtrack
- Story Time from Kubo and the Two Strings
- Some Old Guard bullshit
- Bagpipe music
- Captain Ward by Tempest (pirate rock ftw) ------ NVM that, this is more ‘epic’
- Stardust theme
Also, this playlist which has probably gone off-topic by now, but here it is.
EDIT : am now in the process of exploring and updating linked playlist >.>. RIP the rest of my night
I know I know. Most of the OST for Equilibrium don’t have (much?) electronic elements in it. Just badass epic music.
For Trance… I already heard the words “epic trance”, but yeah, no.
