Scene Music Choices

Artist CD Title Comments
Enigma Cross of Changes Yes, I know it's worn out, but there is a reason.
Enigma 1990 A.D. Ditto.  Best scene music ever made overplayed or not
Depeche Mode 101 Not for Everyone
Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine Incredible.  This guy has to be in the scene.  (this is my favorite scene CD)
Dracula Soundtrack Last song sucks, but the rest is really moody.
The Crow Score (NOT the soundtrack) Very eerie. 
Dead Can Dance Within the Realm of the Dying Sun Fantastic Voices.  Would be great ritual music
Mozart Requiem Funeral Music.  Chorale.  In 2000 years, the Catholic Church learned a lot about mood
The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo Di Silos Soul of Chant This is wonderful flogging music
Carl Orff Carmina Burana Chorale Music with attitude
Lorena McKinnett Book of Secrets Light, but sets a mood
Constance Demby Novus Magnificat Synthesizer and so evocative Almost a Mass
Wolf Soundtrack Edgy.  Tends to make you nervous and your heart rate speed up
John Serrie Tingri Very soothing. 
Bach Brandenburg Concertos For those quieter scenes; sort of airy.
Andrew Webber Phantom of the Opera (Toronto Cast) No, not every song, but a good number of them.  This is ABOUT control
Apocalyptica Apocalyptica Four guys with cellos playing Metallica.  Unforgettable
Interview With the Vampire Soundtrack NOT Jumpin' Jack Flash.  But the rest is great
Vas Offerings Hinduesque Music
Anonymous 4 The Lily and the Lamb Pure, high, female voices.  Crystal
Dead Can Dance A Passage in Time Sets a mood of anticipation
Kundun Soundtrack Tibetan chants and great music.  A sense of doom.
Enigma Le Roi est Mort, Vive le Roi One guy said this was better than the first Enigma 
Massive Attack Mezzanine Very heavy and minor key.  Dreamy.  
Delirium Karma Strange CD.  Sort of dreamy, Enigma, NIN combination
