Orchestra Music Anyone?

[Cody]

I am personally rather fond of music that is done by an orchestra. Maybe I am just weird but I find it far more...moving than all that stuff that is so unfortunately so popular these days. You know what I am talking about. Anyways, during some random Youtube surfing a couple months ago I ran across this band which is, in my opinion, phenomenal. Or at least great. So yeah Court said I had to write a topic about it so here I am doing just that.

The music production company is called Two Steps from Hell. I guess they make music for movie trailers and whatnot. But it's good stuff. Go listen to them!...if you want.

Pandora had been playing some of that sort of thing for me recently.

I hadn't ever heard of the Vitamin String Quartet before. That is...interesting. Well, it is actually pretty cool, but sometimes doesn't really "work" to have the vocal track played by a violin (or whatever). I heard a clip of a Coldplay cover though -- that seemed like a good fit.

Anyway, yeah, as for Cody's (unlinked) band, I like it. But everything they have released is super-short because the tracks were composed as movie-trailer theme music. One of my favorite things about classical music is that the tracks tend to be loooooooooooooooooong.

I do need more orchestral music though.
