[A lot of these are great. However the reason I traditionally stick to Scores & Soundtracks & Cinematic music is because almost everyone is predisposed to it. You go to the theatre and you dont complain about the background music. It's only when some Rap, Heavy Metal, Country, etc comes on that people start to bicker about music. The offshoots of the classical format tend to be very biased and one thing I've learned in Design is that if you want to get a design approved used dummy text in another language. If you put in english people will complain about the next by default and ignore the actual design all together. If I put in a song of heavy metal anyone who dislikes heavy metal will kill the vid before it even gets going. Same with rap, country, techno, jpop, etc. People judge the video on the music more than whats happening in the video. Classical Cinematic themes tend to fly regardless of a persons predisposition toward a certain type of music. In 300 did you hear any of the rappers complain about heavy metal rifts and undertones in the song? Nope thats cause the action took them and it was subtle enough to be overlooked.
So in short thats why I usually go for the cinematic songs.]
That makes good points and i totally understand and agree with what you have put :)
But cool sounding naration would go so well also instead of it just being txt, same with some combat sound to come in when ya showing parts of the epic battles, imo anyways lol
