    NP : ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. - Mario Nascimbene

    This IS Dinosaur music. punk

    Agreed, Tim. I sometimes wish that some of this was re-recorded so we could hear some of this music in pristine condition. But I'm sure something would be lost in the updating.

    NP: Max Payne - Marco Beltrami & Buck Sanders

    There's something pretty raw about the feel of this CD. It's definitely NOT in the same vein as Hellboy - more a sort of urban, gritty, bare-bones I, Robot in places (but even this is a stretched comparison.) "Heaven To The Max" is about as close as the score gets to hearing Beltrami's style of lush, emotional style.

    Full of repeated staccato string passages and that John Carpenter Escape From New York synth drawl heard in some of the clips, it's really a release for the hardened Beltrami fan.

    I'd be curious to know how much Buck Sanders contributed to the score (and Marcus Trumpp for that matter!)

    He makes up for it by basing the whole score around the theme from Cape Fear, I feel.

    NP: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - Howard Shore

    Good score, though not my favorite of the three. cool Gotta love that beautiful Rohan theme! punk
  4. NP: Youth without Youth (Golijov)

    I finally saw the film, and it really wasn't very good at all. But it gets points for trying hard, for being identifiably the work of its director (Coppola), and the music is untainted by the exercise in my mind. What a wonderful score it is! I can't wait for Golijov's next score, Tetro.

    Agree with you on a re-record of ONE MILLION YEARS B.C., I would equate it to CONAN THE BARBARIAN in the rawness of it's recording and similar that something could be lost if re-done!? Still, a proper re-recording of either score would be a god send in my book.

    James Newton Howard - Defiance

    Yes, you can download the whole media kit with the soundtrack and I am not sure if the release will be similar to this one (the titles seem generic, almost like cue sheet titles)

    The score is very low-key, rather underscore-based, but with a beautiful main theme, really beautiful and some violin solos not far from The Village when it comes to style.


    After listening to this score, I came out in favour of THE HAPPENING as the stronger of his 2008 scores. This has its moments, and hopefully the album will consolidate it by cutting some of the extra stuff, but we've heard better from the composer and from films set at this time in history. It is quite a way ahead of BLOOD DIAMOND, MICHAEL CLAYTON and KING KONG though for me.


    I don't think anyone would disagree that THE HAPPENING is indeed his strongest score, and i'd just say 2008 rather i'd extend it a couple of years back as well wink
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Only on the first track and [Jesus Christ!] this is exactly what I was hoping for! A gorgeous piano and strings led cue which can only lead to even better things.

    NP: Ponyo On The Cliff By The Sea - Joe Hisaishi

    The grand chorus and orchestra on the opening track Deep Sea Ranch immediately got me into this score. There are lots of themes, and lots of arrangements. I especially love the use of Ponyo's theme. It's originally from the very childish (in a good way of course) theme song, but it changes from playful tunes to adventurous Flight of Ponyo (obvious Wagner parody! biggrin ), like Hisaishi did on Totoro.

    One of my favorite tracks is Little Sisters. Really fun.

    As usual, there is a beautiful piano track Sosuke's Tears. There are also many violin solos! lick

    And of course, the adorable earworm song is great. Pooonyo ponyo ponyo sakananokoooo spin biggrin

    NP: The Boy Who Could Fly - Bruce Broughton

    I've had the expanded edition of this score ever since Percepto released it a few years ago. However, I was interested in hearing the original Varese presentation of the score. So, I recently got the Varese edition which is 34 minutes in length and at this moment in time is the perfect running time for me. Today it's all about highlights and I assume that's what Varese gave us way back in 1986.

    Broughton's main theme is a classic and full of 80's nostalgia! I love the tongue-in-cheek "New Starts" cue with it's militaristic snares which perfectly compliments little Fred Savage with his GI Joe helmet escaping the neighbourhood bullies on his four-wheel! Of course the highlight is the "In The Air" sequence which has all the flourish of another "Flying" sequence heard only a few years earlier in E.T.

    Both versions of the score are winners. The Varese gives you all of the major highlights while the expanded version gives you all of the other goodies that die hard fans want! This is a classic Bruce Broughton score!

    -Erik-


    I like that score too! And In The Air is great flying music, but I prefer Cody's Flight from Rescuers Down Under, which is very similar to Boy... theme, but I think it sounds bigger and more exciting.

    NP: The Green Mile - Thomas Newman

    The film is on TV at the moment but I watched it last week so instead I'm listening to the brilliant score which elevated it to such mesmerising heights. The score is haunting, eerie and at times disturbing but always evocative, never failing to remind of the images and themes from the movie (especially the healing of the mouse, the night journey and the final execution). Gorgeous stuff and very affecting.

    Time to put my money where my mouth is? I'll upload a MIDI performance as an MP3 file on Rapidshare... just give me some time to get a good take. wink

    I'm not particularly a 'proud' person when it comes to playing on the piano, I just enjoy it. Good for stress!

    You said it! "Judgement Day" is the perfect example. While the "I Am The Law" line in the film is laughable for some reason I get goosebumps watching that scene because of Silvestri's score. Same goes with the President's speech in ID4. Totally corny - both speech and music - but they work off each other so well that it surprisingly works and gives me goosebumps and almost moves me to tears.

    NP: Rocky Balboa - Bill Conti

    I'm listening to the album that came out for the 2006 movie. I've only heard the Rocky theme in passing so today is the first time I've ever sat down and really listen to it. It's an amazing good theme and the score material are equally nice. Some of the brass and percussion writing in "Fanfare for Rocky" seems like it was made for a movie about Roman gladiators which truly elevates it to a classy level work. And the cool basso continuo-esque string/brass writing in "Conquest" and "Rocky's Reward" are the stuff of awesome. It's littered throughout the album and makes for a very interesting listening experience.
