Watch the video that I posted above and the related ones and tell me thats 'just background music'.
That isn't background music, that's an orchestra playing an arrangement of background music.

Though I do agree that video was sufficiently awesome, it would take a while to convert a track consisting mainly of synth to at least 5 instruments in an orchestra. It doesn't lend itself well.
