Genre is nearly useless beyond vague categorizations or as a marketing tool. For example anything that cannot be labeled into the main steam genres such as Pop is automatically regulated to the ambiguous alternative/avant-garde categories. The best you are going to get is modern orchestral, or epic orchestral score.

Well it's a genre. That's what you asked for. Do you want artist names or something?

Genres tend to be a bit vague.

Your best looking at orchestral soundtracks of movies like LOTR and starwars.

Having said that p2p programs like limewire are not reliable anymore, you'd be better getting albums via google+torrent.

It's orchestral.

Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Holst (lookup The Planets; it kicks ass).

Verdi. Liszt. Byrd has some good stuff.


For the more modern sound, Hans Zimmer has some amazing stuff (download Batman Begins soundtrack).

What im looking for is the style of OTA battle tracks... powerful sounds, we have rock, and hard rock, so why not call it "hard orchestral"... Thats what im finding for.

Those building tracks were lame and boring, i dont want to listen them... neither those: bach, beethoven, mozart etc... only for relaxation purposes maybe, i need some hardcore orchestral music. 8)

Amigo, you haven't listened to the masters if you don't realize their intensity at points.

Thats OTA song, yeah, its good, that kind music i need, but more than just that one song...

Hans Zimmer sounded good, but those songs are mix of hard and non-hard parts... i just want hard parts...

The Planet suite or w/e it's called is pretty good and Mars Bringer of War sounds like pretty much what you're after :>
