NP: Curious Case of Benjamin Button ([b]Desplat)[/b]
Turns out a top 5 of scores may be possible this year after all. This makes the fifth interesting score I've heard this year!
I'll be getting this too.

Is there a way to save the streaming from http://warnerbros2008.warnerbros.com/ba … ore/score1 to the hard disk? Or find them in a temporary internet files' folder or something?
Watch this video and use CDex or similar audio programs to record sound of your computer, while your microphone is signaled on the computer signal. Works like a charm!

Being listening to The Thomas Crown Affair (Bill Conti version) the past couple of days. That has got to be one of my favorite piano themes. I think Brosnan is making a second one. The use of sinnerman at the end of the movie is amazing. What a well done scene. -

I've really grown to love that Conti score, still not as good as the Legrand score but truly worthwhile. The film however is the opposite IMO, a better film than the original.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

NP: Meet Joe Black - Thomas Newman
I only know 5 of his works so far, but he's really becoming my another favorite composer...
10 minutes of finale That Next Place is fantastic! I love the main theme. I reminds me a bit of Nemo theme, but it's used more than in Nemo.
Meet Joe Black is a personal favorite of mine. What about ROAD TO PERDITION? Have you discovered that yet?
I saw the movie (it was great), and the score was also fantastic... but I don't have the album yet. It's not in the rental store/local library near my home (thanks to those places I can "get" many scores
), so I'll buy it next time I get some money
I'm listening to the DVD audio commentary as we speak. I rented the movie over the weekend. I quite liked it too, and it's always been one of my favourite Thomas Newman scores too (translation: one of the Thomas Newman scores I can withstand the best), and seeing the movie probably made me appreciate it more. Although some of the ethereal bits still remain a bit too hazy.''The mandate, as well as the benefit, of responsibility is the ability to tell when one can afford to be irresponsible.'' - Me -

I have yet to scene the original, but am a Steve McQueen fan. I welcome this new one with Brosnan. Hope it holds the same feel as the previous. -

THE LOST WORLD - JOHN WILLIAMS
This is one kickass action score, gone are the beautiful wondrous melodies of the original, instead we get a raw, exciting action fest that is even more satisfying than Williams' later Star Wars offerings. I love the jungle rhythmic music and suspense cues which are fun to listen to. But the themes are also present, both old and new, though the new definitely overshadow the old. A very good one!!!

There's no way Brosnan and co can match the sexual chemistry of McQueen and Dunaway which, along with Legrand's score is the only reason for watching the original.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

The opening timpani hits. I thought that too when I first heard the LOST WORLD. But once you get past those few seconds the rest of the score has no relation to LAWRENCE OF ARABIA whatsoever!

It's not a great film but I always enjoy watching the original. The remake isn't great either - but I also always enjoy watching that! Legrand's score IS great, and Conti's is one of his best. -

I was referring to those timpani hits. And it was Spielberg I believe that Spielberg made the film as a kind of tribute toward Lawrence of Arabia. For some reason I though it was Williams scoring as a tribute toward Lawrence of Arabia. -

It was Spielberg's notion that LOST WORLD would be his 'grand entertainment', the old cinema feeling, complete with a recollection of the overture of LAWRENCE OF ARABIA at the start. The film also throws out some big references to Cooper's film of KING KONG quite late as well, apparently for similar reasons.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Yeah, I can see the King Kong thing more easily. Not one of Spielberg's finer hours though! -

ALEXANDRE DESPLAT - The curious case of Benjamin Button
Was right to expect so much out of this score before i "closed" my verdict for this year, score-wise. Mr.Desplat's latest effort is easily the most delicate and outstandingly beautiful musical work of 2008, proving once again the man's musicianship and refined talent.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Just had a listen, and I got the reference.
