Yuck. Anything downloaded from youtube is going to be in horrible quality.

Also, Tristan was used in the trailers for this series of Doctor Who, wasn't it?

Two Steps from Hell are producers of Trailer Music. I have a lot of this stuff. They did the track for the new (now old) Star Trek Movie and said track was bought for exclusive rights to said movie and used in it as well as in the trailer. This track is actually an amalgamation of some of their other tracks. Normally, their tracks are never heard in a movie and instead only part of a trailer. This is because trailers are made before the soundtrack for a given film is finished.

Tracks from several others like Audio Machine and Immediate Music are good, but I like Two Steps from Hell the best. Though my favorite trailer track as of late is Immediate Music's Rising Empire. I loved one YouTube video that applied it to a fan trailer for 'Neon Genesis Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance' (numbered 2.22 for the home release BTW).

Tristen was used in Doctor Who.

Off Topic: How was the new (now old) Star Trek movie?

Very good. It's presented as an alternate timeline star trek, but that, in no way, should deter you from seeing it.

I didn't like it, I would have preferred a mirror universe movie to that. And of course they f*cked up all the ships in a way no timeline changes could explain. Story wise, I hear Kirk makes a bit more sense in the uncut script. Timeline wise the movie is a loop-back alternate timeline. While the normal timeline goes on in the game Star Trek Online, an event in that time line spawns this new one. So now there are 3 universes, though I would think that there is also a Mirror universe to this alternate timeline.

I wish people would stop calling it trailer music. That's not a genre any more than "soundtrack" is.

[Baconboy]

Well, I'm still using the music most likely.
Also, how would you like it if you never watched the original Star Trek?

Seeing as the film was a perfectly good scifi movie if not for the shoehorning of the Star Trek canon, I probably would have not seen it had it not been a ST movie till it came to TV.

I don't care if you are in music education or whatever it IS trailer music and that is what it will be known as, that is what it is produced as, and that is why it exists. Next thing I know you are going to say that 'muzak' doesn't count as a genera. Well since a genera is a classification on the type of music and 99% of people out there call it trailer music, IT IS TRAILER MUSIC... I get quite pissed off when people from some art education attempt to correct a public common description as by the fact it is common and public it is already valid as that is how such words and definitions arise in the first place.

[Ded10c]

I'm not trying to correct anything, I'm just stating that it pisses me off a little. I don't like genres in general (heh...), but I especially dislike things like "trailer music", "soundtrack", etc. In my view, if things must be generalised at all, a genre of music should define the features of the music, not simply where it is heard.

[Nielk1]

Trailer Music and 'Score' (not soundtrack, I sort of agree there, unless the music is custom like that of Doctor Who, though then it is more a score just being called a soundtrack) are like super genres. The trailer music might be rock, orchestral, or otherwise, but at the most board level of classification, it is of a distinct length and style that it is optimal and first and foremost designed for trailers.

While I mentioned Doctor Who, AH, I have a question. Why is it called a season here in America, but a 'series' there in Europe? Is it that your shows don't have cliffhangers and thus one season can be considered a stand alone series? Or is it just another lingual difference? For us a series is the sum of all seasons, but I always see the new Doctor Whos marked as Series 1, Series 2, etc in the soundtracks.

[Ded10c]

I think we generally have series instead of season, yes. And we also tend to avoid cheese a bit more than US dramas - much less cliffhanging.

[Baconboy]

LOL
Anyway, Two Steps from Hell never seems to disappoint me, though.
I just heard Dragon Rider and I loved it.

Dragon Rider? WHY NOT DRAGONFORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
