@Liberated Liberater: Gonna second Korpiklaani and A Hawk And A Handsaw. Also, give Diablo Swing Orchestra a try. In addition to the usual instruments, they have a cello, trumpet and trombone. And their vocalist sings like an opera singer.
Some of John Zorn's Filmworks music might interest you too.
Imagine Rakan applying Calling Your Attacks to doing paperwork.~Anarchy Rakan for the hell of it COMMISSION THIS BRIDGE!~EHKDoes anyone know any good ancient song with Ominous Latin Chanting, like O Fortuna (well, I don't know exactly how old or whether if that's even really Latin but hell, that's the only thing I can think of)?

ALL CREATURE WILL DIE AND ALL THE THINGS WILL BE BROKEN. THAT'S THE LAW OF SAMURAI.@liberated: The indie musician Kevin Devine is known to use glockenspiels time to time, I think.
Yes!!!!!!!! Introduced another person to the awesomeness of DSO.
Imagine Rakan applying Calling Your Attacks to doing paperwork.~Anarchy Rakan for the hell of it COMMISSION THIS BRIDGE!~EHKOkay, complicated request here.
Let's see... I'm after recommendations of specific songs/pieces which I might like. I find searching for music particularly hard, especially since individual bands don't tend to make more than one or two songs I like. In general I like Pop music (Tears For Fears, Eurythmics and The Killers are bands I'll admit to liking), but you'll probably have to take a look at my last.fm profile to see what kind.
Alternatively, I only consider voices another instrument anyway, so you can try and recommend me something more soundtrack-like. Something like one of these pieces of music perhaps. Though I'm sure they lose something without context.
Anyway I probably don't know what I want, so if you guys can recommend anything I'll give it a try.

What are some sentimental song with very soft and slow accoustic guitar playing? I want something like Falling Slowly.
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.Last year I offered a metal-loving friend of mine Ayreon's Universal Migrator, which she really really loved and she downloaded al of the rest of his works through perfectly legal means. This year I want to offer her something similar enough to fit in her comfort zone but different enough that it doesn't feel like I'm being lazy. The same author is right out.
A case of true love has the same redeeming power as a case of genuine curiosity: they are the same.Try Devin Townsend, then. The guy has done pretty much every kind of metal ever (maybe except power), there oughta be at least an album she would enjoy.
No regret shall pass over the threshold!I've been getting into movie soundtracks a lot, lately. Any recommendations? I'm pretty open to trying out anything.

The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableWhat are some classical musics that are like New World Symphony, you know, lots of trumpets and percussions?
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.Not a clue. All I can think of is the Metallica cover group, Apocalyptica.
Guys, I'm in the mood for something baroque. Something Castlevania-esque. Organs and harpsichords and the like. Squealing guitars and loud as hell vocals too if that's available. Any recs?
ALL CREATURE WILL DIE AND ALL THE THINGS WILL BE BROKEN. THAT'S THE LAW OF SAMURAI.I've discovered that I find jazz music the best thing to listen to while driving. Unfortunately I don't really know that much about it, so can anybody recomend me anything?
Am I a good man or a bad man?This is as far as my musical knowledge goes in terms of Jazz.
Also, BUMP
ALL CREATURE WILL DIE AND ALL THE THINGS WILL BE BROKEN. THAT'S THE LAW OF SAMURAI.Anyone know any good hardstyle groups/bands?
DJ Elemental does good mixtapes.
The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.Anyone know any songs that sounds like but DOESN'T sample "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" by Hall & Oates? I have to emphasize the not-a-sample thing cause this song's been sampled a lot. Seriously. The song has a unique sound by itself, and i want to know if any original song sounds similar.
Will Smith and Bill Cosby didn't have to cuss to sell records!
Also seconding the Flogging Molly
Lightening Storm is a really good song.
