Thought this might apply, just wrote this to a team mate who is working on our team's video. Here is what I said in regards to music:

Here is my collection of music. Think it might be useful. There is a pretty wide variety of types, so just gotta figure out the mood intended, and the audience. Here’s my recommendations:

Informative, but catching:
Dive – Propellerheads
Percussion – Blue Man Group

Catching and cool sounding, theme related:
Backseat Driver – Propellerheads (Yes, this is from a chase scene in a James Bond movie, but just think of the cool technology they had! It’s like some wacky subconscious comparison.)
Spybreak! – Propellerheads (Yep, Matrix scene music. It’s the part when they break into the building and do lots of cool flips while shooting at the agents, and it sounds cool.)

Off to a slow start, but builds up. Sorta creates interest:
Clang – Propellerheads

Fast and crazy all the way through:
Lethal Cut – Propellerheads (Good for fast paced, continuing film, ends abruptly though.)
Bomb the Bass! – Propellerheads

Kinda evil sounding:
Tension – Blue Man Group

Slow, not all to amazing for this, but good for calm stuff, or talking over, etc.:
TV Song – Blue Man Group
Utne Wire Man – Blue Man Group
