@@stevenbrodie404 Ones that come close in my opinion are Ghost in the Shell - Reincarnation; Mezame no Hakobune - Hyakkin (they are quite similar to each other in style). Other than that, Civilization IV's opening theme Baba Yetu comes to mind in terms of grandiose soundtracks transcending their original scope and purpose.
Usually true, but there hasn't been added much to the sample. It's prolonged though, so that's a good thing. And I wouldn't have known about this music, if it wasn't for blank banshee.
