Yes. I listen to all of those genre's its just I want specific artists from each, so I dont have to do trial and error.

The shenmue music is.. okay. Not really fast paced, too calm. Thats more like for a battle theme

(Which I will be doing)

The Gambler - Xzibit (Domino)

Son of a B*tch - Nazareth (Lords of Dogtown, and probably countless others)

Thats a few, from movies I like.

The Nazareth Tune is actually titled "Hair Of the Dog"

As for fast-paced action musics that are instrumental....

Check out MASTERY-- all of their tracks are instruMETAL!!! fast-paced butt kicken tuneage!

Tried any Apocalyptica? They're all instrumental and they make orchestrated remixes of songs like Metallica and the likes. No leaf clover, for example.

Even if they aren't instrumentals, try these songs.

Mastadon - The Wolf Is Loose OR Seabeast (Same Artist)
Sonata Arctica - Wolf & Raven

The fact I choose The Wolf Is Loose and Wolf & Raven is coincidental.

Let the bodies hit the floor! - Drowning Pool

Now THATS a good action theme. Heh I just watched "The One", it was in that so many times.

Not to nit-pick, but that song is actually part of Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Its an amazing piece to listen to. I saw it performed live once with the Milwaukee Ballet acting out the scenes. It was amazing.

You can read more about it on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmina_Burana_%28Orff%29

1)Painkiller by Judas Priest except get the version when Tim "The Ripper" Owens is on vocals, it sounds much more heavier and faster.
Or how about:
The middle of 2)"In my Darkest Hour" by Medadeth or 3)"Train of Consequences" by Megadeth. Also, almost anything metallica registers well with these types of scenarios.

Hows about techno? It's not exactly hardcore, but it's got a beat. Rave music and the likes would work well.

At least heavy metal is made and performed by humans. You will be the first to welcome our new synthesizer overlords.

And just for the record, Lamb of God is overrated. SOILWORK AND ISIS FTW!:twisted:

as far as techno for fast actiony stuff i have to suggest the following

not really techno but chiptune, anything by anamanaguchi

aphex twin has some really fast heavy stuff like come to daddy and afx237v7

daft punk - aerodynamic pwns and pretty much any other song on the discovery album is good, not so much for chase scenes tho

the imperial march from starwars is always good lol

DARUDE - calm before the storm, out of control and extasy are good

Also Rob Zombie and anything techno is very movie-friendly. Well, sort of.

I don't think sugar is fast paced enough. Not many S.o.a.D. songs are extrememly fast. I mean attack could work but I don't think it would go very well.

If it's game music you're after you can get allmost every game soundtrack here, However it's only illegal 'till you download it so it's completely up to you. You could just browse there archives - http://downloads.khinsider.com/game-sou ... browse/all
