Good tracks for sure, but I guess my question is do those specific tracks enhance and make those specific clips brilliant, or are they just great pieces of music thrown onto cool clips, yet neither gaining anything specific some each other. What I find brilliant about say the Gear of War track is just how that track makes the whole war experience haunting, honing in on the emotions that you don't necessarily attach to war games or scenarious and that is the feeling of loss, sadness and the haunting memory(illustrated by the haunting song) of the way things used to be. I find a lot of trailers can throw great pieces of music but the music isn't necessarily an ingenious mix with the trailer it just happens to be a great song on it's own which adds strength independently of what it is attached to. haha, one of my favorite songs of the 80′s.

Sure the music it primitively rendered in comparison with modern scores, but they stand up pretty well (Press Play on Tape, god bless 'em http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYZXNVHVfhc).
