			   							bombastic, orchestral scores?
			   							
			   							Were are more of those bombastic, orchestral scores with: 
1. Great main theme. 2. Big orchestra. 3. Chorus. 4. Pounding snare drum driven action cues? I know that: 'Sky Captain' (Wow!), 'Waterworld', 'Godzilla', 'ID4', 'Beastmaster 2' and 'Cutthroat Island' are fine examples of this.  
Anyone?

			   							I think you might want to check out some of Masamichi Amano's stuff. His scores to Super Atragon, Battle Royale I & II, The Aurora, and Giant Robo sound like they might be right up your alley. Amano really loves his snare drums too! 
 
A few other scores that might fit: 
 
De Fortabte sjæles ø (Jane Antonia Cornish) 
Yamato (Joe Hisaishi) 
King Kong Lives (John Scott) 
Arsène Lupin (Debbie Wiseman) 
The Core (Christopher Young)

			   							I like the quiet passages when you know that eventually all hell is going to break loose. "Mercury Rising" (John Barry).
