Suspense music?

Hi, what do you find is music that gets your heart racing when you're pounding out the suspenseful parts of your novel?

I went to the soundtrack for the TV series "24" (loved that show) and found "One Man Against Juma's Army" (song title-instrumental) which I really like.

Who else has found some good suspenseful tunes?

PS I don't mean horror- there's a separate thread for that. I'm thinking more..music you listen to when the bad guys are chasing your MC

The Doctor Who soundtrack :)

Lots of the stuff from the suspense category on Brand X Music. c:

Beethoven's 5th Symphony...

RandomSoul: I did Doctor Who on Pandora. It is amazing! Perfect!

The "Inception" soundtrack. ^-^

I love the soundtrack to Inception, but I also listen to some Rammstein and 30 Seconds to Mars if the tracks are right.

The Bourne Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum soundtrack.

There was a lot of suspense in my Nano 2010 book so I started listening to the Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack. It was perfect! Having it on shuffle gave me plenty of long, mysterious notes to write out dark times as well as a few upbeat and happy moments with which I could sprinkle happiness into my book. This year I'm writing the sequel to last year's book and I'm considering doing something similar, or perhaps I'll move onto a different soundtrack.

My one issue with music is that I can get really easily distracted if there are lyrics so I tend toward instrumentals only.

Happy writing!

Try Harry Potter on Pandora. i think it works great for suspense

Chemical Bros. are always good for an intense chase scene.

Knights of Cydonia by Muse.



...what? You can probably tell by the pic im a fan

"Forbidden Mountian" from Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

You know, the part where the fairies sneak into Maleficent's fortress and sneak about the grounds, including a part where all the minions are dancing around a huge bonfire?
