Trailer theme music

After looking at a number of useful trailers, a recurring pattern is having either one track playing throughout the trailer, or none at all

We need a fairly laid back song choice as to compliment, not take attention away from the action on scene. A good example of a trailer using this is the trailer for reservoir dogs, as seen below

The trailer users one of the song choices I have blogged about previously, using it to decorate the on screen action and dialogue and the blending in and out of the trailer is almost unnoticeable. 

What I like about Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz as a film trailer is that it almost encourages the use of fast paced cuts, as the song is a vibrant mix of an upbeat tempo with a laid back bass, meaning it doesn't take away attention from the trailer while still helping to heighten the energy of it.

An obvious song choice for a film trailer as it has the whole organisation/gangster feel about it nailed down. This would definitely be a good choice for the film trailer, however we don't want to complete mimic the reservoir dogs style. We want to create our own film and break the stereotypes and clichés of this genre, so a slightly different list of song choices that vary in style may be useful.
