Song Of The Week: "Trinity" by James Dooley

Well, not so much a song, as an experience.

I'm getting quite into movie music: real dramatic Hans Zimmer-esque type of music. The sort of thing you hear on trailers for the Spidey films, LOTR, King Arthur, etc. Lots of choral work, drums, and a big dramatic build up.

And nothing comes more dramatic than Trinity (nothing to do with She Of The PVC Skinsuit in the Matrices).

It starts of real, real quite, just a thrumming baseline, with a subtle brass(?) theme coming in. Then a few drums. Then a choir (very Omen-ish, male choir singing in Latin or something). It all gradually builds up and up into ... well, a masterpiece in triumphant music. Then it goes silent, pauses, and it starts again in mid-level triumphalism, and builds up again.

You've got to hear it.

Loud.

If there was a bagpipe in it, the Scots would have played this at Culloden and might have actually won. Ah well, you live and learn, eh?

It's songs like this that make me wish I had my surround sound installed at home again... I wonder if I can fit it while Her Indoors is out shopping. Think she'll notice??

So, for the benefit of Mad-"If It Ain't On YouTube It Ain't Worth Bothering About"-Jock, here's a Heroes fan movie thing with the music.
