Topic: RPM, Lend me your ears!

[Gotham Ranger]

Alright, so, I enjoy music. Of course I do. Who doesn't. You don't? GTFO then.

Anyways, I'm looking for a certain type of music and I'm not exactly sure what its called. So to keep this easy, lets give you examples, shall we?

Well known songs are One Winged Angel, Dancing Mad, Solaris Phase 2 from Sonic 06 as well as the original vocal version, Metallic Madness Present, and of course Cannon Ball by Inti Creates.

Less known songs are as follows:
Revolutionary Etude ~Rii (Theme of Adelheid) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkRj8xXPl0M&feature=related
The RR (Theme of Rugal) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJsIYYK1BZM (Its near the middle/end when the organ kicks in)
Dark Side (Undertaker WWF Theme) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8rulRbz4n8&feature=related
Just Close Your Eyes (The Beginning Into the Main Song, really) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5jbo7lxPqc

I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but as you can see, all of these are either video game or wrestling. My point is, I'm looking for songs like these that can take a good orchestrated sound and modernise it, or add piano/violin to really enhance the experience. I mean yeah, any [Bumpity-Boom!] named Jun Senoue can wail on a guitar and call it music, but when it blends, wraps and fully matches with better instruments such as the other two, its great.

Basically, my friends. These are the type of songs I'm looking for. Whether they be video game, anime, whatever. I just wanna indulge in the beauty of a classical instrument modernised.

Or, in the case of most of Dancing Mad (parts 1-3) plus Requiem In D. Minor "K.626" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnoDVG6gHhQ), just great classic sounding stuff. Its funny how I never got into the stuff that we all learn about in music class, but this [parasitic bomb] appeals to me and I would greatly appreciate your help, ninjas.

Edit: I'm also totally aware that Wolfgang Krauser's theme, K.626 is Mozart, so yeah.

Thanks for calling me a ninja.


Uuuuhm... ever tried Vanessa May?
Also... dunno... Apocalyptica? (I'll look like a metalhead now).

I'm not that good when it comes to music.

I... can't think of a single thing in common between Dancing Mad, One-Winged Angel and Cannon Ball.
Although, which versions?

[Gotham Ranger]

One Winged Angel and Dancing Mad are orchestrated. Cannon Ball from Zero 3 has the equivalent of a guitar with a great piano bit (as close as you can on GBA sounds ).

I'm just looking for referrals. Ideas. Bands. Tracks. Songs. Anything from Anime, Video Games, whatever

Edit: Here's another example. Devils Never Cry - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-KlzfV8_DI

Son of Edit: I totally forgot, E-102's theme from SA1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY8Cg8C9urU

Classical Music you say? I love classical music!

Probably not what you're looking for, but it's nice as far as pianos go. Also, ignore footage.
