My Other Ride Is A Pierce Chainless Bicycle > Steampunk
Steampunk music?
Worktroll:
So, what music do people think is a) appropriate for Leviathans, b) appropriate for steampunk in general, c) both?
From a classical sense, Elgar's Pomp & Circumstance, Rule Brittania, and John Phillip Sousa definitely meet criteria a). I'm also investigating a band called Abney Park - anyone putting a song together called "Airship Pirate" deserves investigation.
Other ideas?

Lore:
I'm thinking mostly about a) at the moment. So, Stravinsky's The Firebird. The music, rather than the story. It's almost always what I imagine when I look at a Leviathan. Holst's The Planets -- particularly the "Mars" movement. And Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture -- complete with Leviathan-based cannon fire... for greater effect!

Since I saw it Friday: The new Sherlock Holmes. The Score was done by Hans Zimmer do I have to say more? 8)
Worktroll:
I love the score - Zimmer's always competent, but rarely does he have the gravitas I'd want for Levs. Certainly, the Sherlock Holmes score is one of his best recently. While the 'Pirates' scores were OK, they lacked any sea connection for me (too much raised on Captain Blood, maybe), and in any case were mainly scoredby Badelt and other products of the Zimmermatic well-trained to ape the Master.
(In case you didn't pick it up, I'm very opinionated about soundtracks ;) )
