Monster Hunter - Rise of a hero. Amazing video game music, hard rhythmic stuff. The linked video is slightly different, but close enough.

Kevin McKee's "Escape" is a very fun ride. Everybody works hard, nowhere to hide.

Suite from the Monteregian Hills by Morley Calvert. Modernish, yet accessible, and definitely fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlDLVuldvZE" target="_blank

Kevin McKee has two other works that always get my group a standing ovation. One is Vuelta del Fuego (Ride of Fire) which is all Zorro movie music with one of the best middle movements I’ve ever played. The other is Galleons and Cutlasses which is all pirate music. The are some incredible poly rhythmic sections in the 2nd movement that are just dynamite. I highly recommend both of these. You can hear recordings of both at his website. http://Www.kevinmckeemusic.com" target="_blank" target="_blank.

Enjoy.
Roger

I think that’s Kamen called Quintet, renamed Tribute after Michael Kamen’s recent passing.
