Soundtracks that you listen all the way through and it's all great.

Hey! sometimes the soundtrack is so good that you don't care about the movie anymore. The music behind soundtracks can be compilation of various artists rock, jazz or mixed styles or created by one composer. Electronic music soundtracks, orchestral neo-classical and other styles I will list my favorites here in this discussion:

1. Gladiator -- an awesome neo-classical movie score with voice of Lisa Gerrard on double-CD. near 2 hours of pure joyful music uninterrupted by movie. At the same time the role of Commodus was brilliant as well as Lucilla

2. Shining -- great movie and state of the art soundtrack done by Wendy Carlos.

3. Dark City -- great electronic score by Trevor Jones

4. Pulp Fiction -- various

5. Kill Bill

Bladerunner. The Thin Red Line.  Van Helsing.  Bram Stoker's Dracula.  The Hours (Glass).  Jacob's Ladder.  The Nightmare Before Chistmas (and, IMHO, any soundtrack by Danny Elfman).  Baraka.  The Hunger.  2001: A Space Odyssey.  The Last Temptation of Christ (Peter Gabriel). Garden State.

0K, here is a real sound track, not a concert, or collection of previously released pop/rock songs but an actual originally recorded sound track written for a musical, Paul Simon's, "Songs of the Capeman". Every song is beautifully written and performed with a story to boot.

Recently bought OST from Rob Roy, mostly classical music sound with some Celtic thrown in. Very nice.
PS: More Irish than Scottish IMO but who cares?
