..know of. I guess that's the character limit for the title. Anyway, I'm basically looking for some good actiony techno type stuff, along the lines of "Clubbed to Death" or "Born Too Slow", but NOT overused. Any suggestions?

New Order-Confusion

I'm pretty sure it's been used in movies before (though I can't think of any off the top of my head) but not as much as the songs you mentioned.

The trick is to go after the artists who made the songs in the trailers and see what else they've made. Anything by Overseer, Rob Dougan, E.S. Posthumus, etc.

What happened to Nightwish?

Did Tarja Turunen leave for good?

Code:

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Just steal some classical music and put it to techno like Rob Dougan does.

System of a Down - Mind
Deftones - Minerva
Pinback - Concrete Seconds
Mudvayne - Dig
(Might be in a movie)
Led Zepplin - When the Levee Break
Creed - Bullets (Yes, I know.. it's Creed.)
Emerson Lake & Palmer - Lucky Man

P.O.D - Boom, Oh wait, that's in practically every high budget lackluster movie trailer. Ever.

(EDIT: Didn't realize you wanted techo...)

Listen to bassdrive.com's feed. You'll get a lot of good stuff :p

Seriously though, I don't know much techno that fits that category...the stuff I listen to is usually more epic/slow/organized, not so much fast an actiony.

PropellerHeads has a lot of great stuff that would be perfect for movie trailers.

In addition, the music video for Bullets is quite possibly the greatest music video ever made.

Metallica - Battery

Come on, the intro to that song just has one of the most powerful build-ups I've ever heard. Imagine that to the right trailer.
