I saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwC3EnQW ... r_embedded and I realized how much I like the song that it has with it. I listen to pretty much nothing but music with guitars in it, but I figure I might add a little variety in.

So, does anybody have any good piano/orchestral/band music that's like this song? Notice I said like, so that means I probably want a more fast paced song than a slow one. Regardless, post some good stuff like this plz

The Exorcist Theme. That is a ripoff of that theme.
Mike Oldfield
Yanni might be good for you.
Maybe Enya.
Or Ben Folds Five or Count Basie.

Impala you fucking ROCK! Oldfield and Yanni were some of what I was looking for. Would like Ben Folds Five if they had a better singer (personal preference though).

There's some really good music like this in the Castlevania series, too. http://www.youtube.com/user/SilvaGunner ... Qh_uhV0ta0

<3 Symphony of the Night

EDIT: You can find all the Symphony of the Night music in one playlist if you find it on that guy's page, not to mention the tons of other games he has on there.

Oh man I love this one. Nothing to do with it also being the theme for Jet Set Willy of course

Try Windham Hill Records and George Winston for some calming piano stuff.

If you liked the Yanni suggestion then I would also look into John Tesh.

Do you mean, like, similiar game theme stuff? If so, check this out.
It's the theme from Battlefield 1942 performed by a symphony. After the theme, the video cuts to them playing one of the themes from Battlefield 2 also, which ruled.
The main theme from Battlefield Vietnam still remains my favorite, though. Ahhh, memories.

If you like piano-based jazz, I'd recommend Chick Corea, Esbjorn Svensson Trio, and some of John Zorn's stuff

If you want straight-up classical-based, I can't help you

..pretty sure not what you're looking for, although Zorn's O'o is an amazing album
