The first is entirely Orchestral Scores/Symphony type stuff. I use it primarily when writing action or battles. As one can imagine, given my last post, John Williams figures big on this list. But so does John Powell. I love his work. He is the natural successor to Lord Williams in my humble opinion.
The Lone Wolves Playlist #1:
Our Last Hope- Two Steps From Hell*
El Dorado- Two Steps From Hell
All is Hell that Ends Well- Two Steps From Hell
Lacrimosa Dominae- Trailerhead*
The Slave Children's Crusade (from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom)- John Williams
Coming Back Around (from How to Train Your Dragon)- John Powell
Goa (from The Bourne Supremacy)- John Powell
Raider's March (from Raiders of the Lost Arc)- John Williams
The Asteroid Field (from The Empire Strikes Back)- John Williams
Willow (from Willow)- James Horner
Battle in the Mutara Nebula (from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)- James Horner
Imagine the Fire (from The Dark Knight Rises)- Hans Zimmer
Playlist número dos is a completely different animal. It's kind of a little bit over everything. I mean, it's really all over the damn place. As much as I love the first playlist, well, sometimes you just need to take a break.

*Two Steps From Hell & Trailerhead are two groups that produce music for Hollywood to use in movie trailers and have began to get followings for their stuff amongst some pretty loyal fans. You may not recognize their names but if you watch movie trailers or commercials, it's almost certain you've heard them.
