Steampunk Playlist

These are some of my favorite, rousing, classical pieces, and movie scores that carry you forward majestically, or chill you with their haunting violins. There's also a fair bit of Celtic music, which to me is perfect steampunk - old-fashioned and simultaneously thrilling to our modern sensibilities.

This playlist lasts an hour. If you're looking for a whole night of Steampunk, I recommend select tracks from Rasputina, about half the tracks off the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack, and all of the Dracula soundtrack (the one recorded by Kronos Quartet to accompany the silent classic).
