Or suitable for your Ancient Egyptians? Or for your Goauld killers? Other than selected pieces from the following soundtracks: Stargate (1994)
The Mummy (1999)
The Mummy Returns (2001)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) What else would you recommend? Basically, I want music that will inspire me to build Egyptian-themed terrain pieces. In other words, what else has THIS general "nostalgic" feel? YouTube link

Seriously though, try the soundtrack from "Lawrence of Arabia." It's nice and… deserty (?). |
| Cacique Caribe | 16 May 2011 9:47 p.m. PST |
Gribby, LOL. My terrain would end up very different if I played that 80s hit over and over in the background. Dan |

Maybe you should check out the Indiana Jones soundtracks, especially the first one. You might some inspirational background music there as well. |
| Cacique Caribe | 16 May 2011 10:08 p.m. PST |
Gribby, Good point there. The one in the Raiders movie that really fits is "The Map Room – Dawn": YouTube link Thanks, Dan |

Use the same music from "Swan Lake" that was used in both "The Mummy" with Boris Karloff and "Dracula" with Bela Lugosi. |

How about Maurice Jarre's 'Lawrence of Arabia' OST? Or anything by Tuareg folk-music warblers; Tinariwen. Alexandre luigini's 'Ballet Egyptien'. Franz Reizenstein's awesome theme for Hammer's 1959 'The Mummy'. |

Thanks guys! I have a feeling I'm going to be searching ebay and other sources for lots of those soundtracks. Wow. I could easily build an entire pyramid or temple complex with music of this type in the background: YouTube link

As long he don't run into a beatnik while looking for a copy of a Connie Stevens/Edd Byrnes record. ;^) |

Here are some more offbeat choices I can recommend:
Alfred Newman and Bernard Herrmann's soundtrack for "The Egyptian."
Ernest Fanelli's music for "The Romance of the Mummy" and other Egyptian themes is on a disc called "Fanelli: Symphonic Pictures."
There's an excellent hybrid SACD of Bantock's "Omar Khayyám" which sets the mood pretty well, even if it's not in Egypt. |
| Servo3000 | 17 May 2011 7:11 a.m. PST |
Almost overlooked "Inside the Great Pyramid" by Paul Horn. The eerie sound of a flute actually playing in the chambers of the great pyramid is very evocative! |
| Watchtower78 | 17 May 2011 7:35 a.m. PST |
Desert Rose by Sting isn't a bad choice either if you want to spice it up a bit. You can also go with some of Tangerine Dream's more sandy selections. |

For a nice slice of the ORIGINAL 1932 classic Karloff "Mummy" soundtrack, follow this link: YouTube link THE most atmospheric of all the "Mummy" themes written for film. A longer version (with more dialogue) is out there to download (I have it), but I've lost the link! TVAG |

>>For a nice slice of the ORIGINAL 1932 classic Karloff "Mummy" soundtrack, follow this link:<< As I mentioned in a previous post, I like the theme played during the opening credits. Youtube lnk here: YouTube link |
| Estarriol | 17 May 2011 12:09 p.m. PST |
YouTube link Well, not really. hmmm. There's got to be a soundtrack from Cleopatra out there. I think theres a bit of music from Gladiator when they're in Zanzibar. Is there anything good in Kingdom of Heaven? |
| bilsonius | 18 May 2011 9:37 a.m. PST |
There's a great Dmitri Tiomkin score from 'Land of the Pharaohs' (1955):

"King Tut" by Steve Martin anyone? Anyone? How about "I Put A Spell On You" done by the Tunisia-bulgarin singer Natacha Atlas. Very cool. YouTube link |

For background noise, you could always play Sounds of Nature 'Desert Winds" (or similar relaxation soundtracks…. ;) |

How about "Mummy Mummy Mummy, Ive Got Sand in My Tummy" 1910 Fruitgum Company. okay, I paraphrased, but the tune is catchy.
"Dance Like an Egyptian" maybe, or does the vision of Steve Martin wearing a Hollywood Egyptian get up while doing spastic movements throw you off ? |

Pyramid song – Radiohead (enough already Mr. Yorke)

Carmina Burana, although 'O Fortuna' was also the theme from the knights charge in Excalibur. The Prince of Persia soundtrack. Holst's The Planets, especially Mars, the Bringer of War. |
