What are your favorite songs from any soundtrack?

[niggo]

Thought this was a fun idea.

My top 5 songs:

1. Appearances
2. Complication With Optimistic Outcome
3. One Particular Moment
4. Eventually We Find Our Way
5. A Thousand Details

I absolutely adore Appearances. I think it's the best they've ever done, soundtrack-wise. I can listen to it on repeat for hours. I will never ever get tired of it.

Before Gone Girl came out, I had a similar relationship to Complication With Optimistc Outcome. It's kind of funny that the song isn't even in the film. It sounds incredibly sad and beautiful at the same time. I love the combination of the synths and the NIN-typical swarm guitar.

One Particular Moment just screams TRAR. It's really their signature sound. I love it.

Eventually We Find Our Way is my second favorite song from TSN. That guitar part starting at 2:36? Pure awesomeness.

Last but not least: A Thousand Details. I think that one speaks for itself.

(Honorable mention: Hand Covers Bruise, Technically, Missing)

So, what are your favorite TRAR songs? :)

[SM Rollinger]

Its an older one but I really like Driver Down.

Also, Intriguing Possibilities and Hand Covers Bruise are also favs.

[PhoenixML]

I'd go with these 5 songs from the top of my head (excluding NIN songs):

Immigrant Song
A Minute To Breathe
What If We Could?
The Seconds Drag
Empty Places

[BRoswell]

I like way too many of their tracks, so I'll just break it down by album. (I'm leaving out solo Trent work like Quake, Lost Highway, and Tetsuo: The Bullet Man, plus the vocal tracks from Dragon Tattoo.)

The Social Network:
Hand Covers Bruise
3:14 Every Night
Eventually We Find Our Way
In The Hall Of The Mountain King
The Gentle Hum Of Anxiety
Soft Trees Break The Fall

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo:
What If We Could?
With The Flies
A Thousand Details
An Itch
Under The Midnight Sun
You're Here
Parallel Timeline With Alternate Outcome
We Could Wait Forever
Great Bird Of Prey
The Heretics
Infiltrator

Gone Girl:
What Have We Done To Each Other?
Sugar Storm
Just Like You
Background Noise
Like Home
The Way He Looks At Me
Technically, Missing
Strange Activities
Consummation

[niggo]

BRoswell Breaking everything down by album is exactly what I wanted to avoid! :) I think it would be interesting to see what your overall favorite songs are. Could you pin down five tracks if you had to choose?

@BRoswell (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=219) Breaking everything down by album is exactly what I wanted to avoid! :) I think it would be interesting to see what your overall favorite songs are. Could you pin down five tracks if you had to choose?

I can't really pick, so here's my top five most played according to iTunes:

1. The Way He Looks At Me
2. Consummation
3. What If We Could?
4. Hand Covers Bruise
5. An Itch

[WorzelG]

Bit difficult, top of my head these are what I like

Great bird of prey
One particular moment
The way he looks at me
Another way of caring
Carbon prevails \ complication with optimistic outcome

[simonn]

One Particular Moment
The Hall Of The Mountain King
Revealed in the Thaw
Strange Activities
Intriguing Possibilities

That was surprisingly easy, as I love about 85% of the 3 Fincher Soundtracks.

[Ryan]

All of Quake

that song with Karen O.

Is your love blah blah blah


that's about it

oh and great bird of prey

[Tommy_Macbeth]

Intriguing Possibilities is great and Capture and Fenway is maybe my favorite TR instrumental of all time.

[laur.a]

I'd like to make a CD with "tr/ar selected soundtrack works" containing the obvious tracks like
- Immigrant Song
- Juno
- A Minute to breathe
- Quake 1 Theme Song
- Watchmen 1 End Credits
but also some not so obvious like

lincoln tunnel
clockmaker
the dark knut returns
carbon prevails
What if we could?

Any suggestions?

[Arcspiral]

As long as "8 Billion" closes out your mix, you have done things correctly.
