            I liked the Jurassic Park soundtrack at first, but the themes
    quickly got old after a couple listens, unfortunately. If you liked
    that one, you should give the Batman or Henry V soundtracks a try since
    I think they have much more enduring themes and better overall atmosphere.

            Both of Tori Amos' albums, "Little Earthquakes" and "Under the Pink"
    are excellent, so it's hard to say which you'll like better. Remember that
    neither of them have heavy music (like DT) so don't expect that. I personally
    prefer "Little Earthquakes" since to me it has a more powerful emotional
    impact. Plus, I prefer the music which concentrates a little more on Tori's
    wonderful piano playing along with her vocals.
            I don't think you could go wrong with either one though (ie. if you
    don't like one, you probably wouldn't have liked the other one either).
