Just finished with Merlin and it really didn't do much for me.
NP: Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer - Ryan Shore
Wasn't overly impressed with my first listen a few weeks ago but there has been a lot of praise thrown at this score in the last little while so I will give it another go. I do like the old school monster movie influence mixed with a more contemporary film music sound. Let's see where this goes...

Up next is Holdridge's "Main Title" from East of Eden.

Never easy to pick an all time favorite, but if I did, East of Eden would probably be it, or at least very close to the top of the list. -

NP The 13th Warrior (Jerry Goldsmith)
Always a pleasure listening to this one, but this time it´s as a homage to Michael Crichton. Rest in Peace.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

What an amazing, most-excellent score to do that; the main theme always brings a tear to my eyes.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

NP: Hook - John Williams
Very nice. Very nice. It's a classic though, albeit with too much mickey mousing and "subtle" underscoring for me to maintain my interests. There are some very pretty moments in the score. I'm sure this has been mentioned multiple times over, but there's a horn theme/motif in here got reused in the Harry Potter score. It's a distraction, but I can get over it. -

NP: Solaris (Artemyev)
The 'other' score for this story is a wonderful mixture of Bachian melody and blistering, scraping electronic textures. It truly expresses the other worldiness of Solaris, and stands in strong contrast to the Cliff Martinez score, which paints a much gentler picture of the planet.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

I watched a "Lonely Planet" documentary about South America So..
NP:Medicine Man
The synthetisers and the Cachy South American sound are annoying always, except when you are in this kind of Goldsmith mood.
The love theme is one of my favourites from Goldsmith, and the Total Recall-esque danger motif is really cool. -

Listening to Secondhand Lions for the 6th time toady.
I start studying with a score and if I'm getting a lot done, and not distracted by it, and I enjoy it... I'll just keep playing it. -

I can SO understand you. I used the whole bunch for an RPG campaign based in a small mountain village. The Village, Signs, Lady in the Water, they worked wonders. The Happening came too late to use it, but I would have.
They are easily one of the most creative streaks of scores. -

NP: Dinosaur - James Newton Howard
Watched the movie after a long time. I had somewhat forgotten how amazing this music was in the movie, apart from on the CD!! I can never forget listening to The Egg Travels in the theater for the first time, how it enhanced that visually beautiful scene. And the music for the action scenes and the sequences leading to the climax... fantastic!! A truly brilliant score, IMO!

Finished up with Jack Brooks this morning. Didn't have enough time yesterday to listen to whole thing. Not a bad score. Ryan Shore likes James Horner's Aliens and the end credit piece is a nice sum up of the scores energy and themes.
NP: Fireworks Overture - Alfons Conde
A curious piece of music which was included on The Abandoned soundtrack released by MSM. This is a massive send off to John Williams with everything thrown in including the kitchen sink. This piece is basically one orchestral flourish after another. And you'd swear that this score should have ended a half a dozen times by the way Conde finishes one idea and then starts up another one. Fireworks Overture is a little disjointed and doesn't have much direction but if you want to hear a young composer doing his best John Williams impression then check this piece out.
IMHO, I think Conde tried a bit too hard with this piece. He definitely has the skill... no doubt about that... but he needs to take a step back and re-organized his ideas. There are just far too many in this short piece which makes it a bit of an orchestral mess. I mean, at the 5:30 mark there is a weird fanfare which just pops up, sound like we are going to go into the Star Wars main theme, but and then we come back to the smooth sweeping theme that was briefly interrupted by the unnecessary splice of Star Wars.
I've now moved onto another Fireworks inspired piece - this time a much more coherent piece written by an established master...
NP: Fireworks - Jerry Goldsmith
It's the B theme heard in the middle portion of this piece that impresses me the most. A gorgeous theme for Horns and strings which has a beautiful climax before the up tempo finale which knocks my socks off. This is one of the Maestro's last great works and a big thanks to Telarc for including it on the Christus Apollo. Fireworks is really the albums only saving grace!
A little bit later on I'm going to put on John Williams masterpiece, Superman! Man, what I would give you hear a live performance of that score!
