Film Trailer: Soundtrack Ideas

Unlike our expectations, the search for a soundtrack for our trailer has been long and arduous. Given the number of amateur composers online, and the amount of music created each year, we thought it would be easier than it was to find some good music, but nothing's been quite right.
There have been a couple of websites we've found where we've thought we could find some good music, but then it's turned out we'd have had to pay, so that was a quick backtrack. Instead, we used these tracks as ideals to strive towards in our search. This has been especially disappointing on freestockmusic.com, where, after narrowing the search to 'cinematic', we found A Call To Duty, which had some great bits we could have cut and put together.
But, soon enough, I found incompetech.com, which was great for search and downloads. We filled in the qualities we wanted the music to have, like 'intense' and 'action', and it brought up a big list of options for us to listen to and choose from.
Although none of these are quite right for our trailer, we did think about them for ages, and spend hours trawling through the options. We quite liked some elements from Black Vortex, Failing Defense, and Interloper, but we're holding out for something much better. Fingers crossed it'll come to us soon.
