Instrumental Music Needed

As the title suggests, I'm looking for an instrumental piece to use in a future video (not my next one, but soon.) To be specific, I'd like something that is intense, slightly driving, NOT techno, and WITHOUT lyrics (although, I have to admit...if it is a Latin chorus or something, I'd be okay with that...). Let's put it this way: no lyrics in ENGLISH. It should be between 3:30 and 4:30 minutes long. Something as close as possible to four minutes long would be best.

Now, if you're curious (and it helps your decision any), this is the reason I want the song. I'm doing an experimental video to test out new programs. So, I'm going to...

- rip scenes from disc 1 of Final Fantasy IX and edit with Windows Movie Maker 2 to the first minute or so of the song. Render.
- rip disc 2 and edit with trial version of Adobe Premiere to minute 2. Render.
- rinse and repeat with disc 3 and trial program 3.
- rinse and repeat with disc 4 and trial program 4.
- combine entire video in program 4. Render.

To keep it fair, I'm using the same game and the same song for the entire video. Also, for the sake of fairness, I'm doing a section with my currently used program (WMM2).

This project will help me decide if I want to buy any of the three programs or just stick with WMM2.

Please offer me your suggestions and I thank you in advance.

As always, Farewell, Good Luck, and Happy AMV-ing!

Thank you very much. I'll give that a listen.

Okay, I listened to the song and while I do like it, I'm not sure that I'm talented enough to edit to something that beat-intensive. That's going to have to be a far-in-the-future project if anything. However, I still thank you for suggesting it because it is a very good piece.

Anything else?

an instrumental peice that I had thought about using for an AMV that seems like it might fit your criteria also, was Stairway to heaven. It starts of kinda slow and picks up to an actiony part towards the middle.

I'm not even sure how I got it, but is on my HD as the file:

Classical-London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Choral Society - Symphonic Rock-The British Invasion- Vol.1 - Stairway To Heaven.mp3

You should be able to find it with that, or hit me on AIM as Bakkadeshi and I can send it to ya.

Bram Stroker's Dracula Soundtrack intense and powerful

Bakadeshi - is this perchance the orchestral version of that Led Zepplin song I keep running into?

danarchking777 - is there a particular song from the soundtrack that you have in mind?

Oh, and Baka-san, in case you're curious, the reason why I want a song close to four minutes is partly because I want the parts to be relatively equal in length (without me doing too much math to figure it out). However, the main reason is because I want to make the parts well within the thirty day trial period. I'm infamous for blazing through the first thirty seconds of a video and then not touching it for months, so I want to have a small section that I can finish in the alloted time. Still, I can try editing the song, depending on if I like it and I think I can edit it. I've never edited a song before, so my skills are teh suxxz0rz, I think.

Moonlight sonata, 3rd movement? (not 1st)

here is a midi : http://www.ourlittleplace.com/sounds/MoonLte3.mid

its like 8 minutes long but you could edit it

if you want an actual WAV that is actually performed well, I could give it to you (and its legal) but I won't post it just for bandwidth reasons...
