    Ponyo is fantastic. Though I haven't heard Shellfish yet, considering its subject matter is very different (a serious drama about a war criminal of WWII based on an old TV series), it may not be something to compare with.

    Yes! Ponyo has everything a Miyazaki's fantasy-adventure film should have, and all of them are at their best. In addition, it has gorgeous chorus!!!

    This live suite is a good representative of the score.

    Thanks. You should check the shellfish one though; it's different, as in more dramatic and emotional, but it's simply beautiful. beer

    Two of the best cues of the year: "Deep Sea Ranch" and "Ponyo of the Fish of the Wave".

    Not Miyazaky´s best I´m afraid. But only for the score in the prologue ("Deep Sea Ranch"), the waves sequence ("Ponyo of the Fish of the Wave") and the finale it´s worth to watch.

    It's the serious drama I Want To Be A Shellfish (Watashi wa kai ni naritai) I haven't seen yet. I saw Ponyo this summer. wink

    But I agree with you about Ponyo movie. The story is undeveloped but it's worth to watch because of several great scenes and beautiful hand-drawing animation.

    Couldn't agree more. I find his Terminator stuff unbearable. Haven't heard TRUE LIES but i am sure it's not any better.


    It is. But it's still not that great...

    There might be some biased nostalgia speaking through my assessment of the music, true, but all I can say is that when you've listened to it as often as I have for over 10 years and you know every single note by heart, you can't help but find it astounding. We all have these scores in our collections: those that rank among our oldest and favourites and which we know through-and-through. True Lies is simply one of mine.

    Still, not every score has the potential to achieve that status, no matter how long you've had it. That True Lies has is saying something already. I've had Dick Tracy for just about as long as True Lies and yet that one doesn't hold that masterful status in my mind.

    NP: Agent Cody Banks, John Powell
    The newer 80-minute pressed boot. One of Powell's very best, career-defining score!

    Defines the very notion of an "accessible" score! Every melody in here is unsubtle clear as day! But they're also brilliant and beautiful. Very much in Rowland's style. Great recent release by BSX.

    Started the day with Treasure Planet, there was a lot I really enjoyed, but it dragged a bit in the middle for my taste.

    Next was Shore's Looking for Richard - it was just too heavy for the mood I was in this morning.

    Finally switched to Washington Square by Jan A. P. Kaczmarek I only had a chance to hear a few of the first tracks, but it suited my mood very well this morning.

    Yes! My point exactly, I keep saying that. That score has such potential to be another Atlantis, but doesn't address its suspense parts quite well. In fact, I have Atlantis on my playlist today! love

    Me, too. Fits a nice and uncomplicated mood.

    Hey!! Running through track 9 of the score ("Creeping Around"), I recognized a motif used in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, just now!!! Well, who cares, really, but still a cute observation.

    NP: My Neighbor Totoro - Joe Hisaishi

    All themes are great - playful "Stroll" theme, relaxing "Village" theme, spiritual "The Paths of Wind" theme, jazzy fun "Catbus" theme, emotional "The Lost Child" and "Mother" themes... and what's more, fantastic Totoro's theme! I love how he arranged it from playful to adventurous.

    NP: Brother Bear (complete score with songs, in chronological order) - Mark Mancina & Phil Collins

    I absolutely love this movie. I must admit, it has many flaws. There are too many unnecessary comedic scenes/characters, some dialogues are a bit corny, and songs are not used so effectively as in Tarzan. But the story is very strong and spiritual. It touches my heart! And the visuals are really stunning (character animation, background, wonderful design for "Great Spirits" animals, etc...).

    So I'm biased about this music - I tend to like scores from movies I like. But I must admit again, the score is not so good. It could've been much better. And mickey-mousing cues on this complete score is boring for a stand-alone listening. I also think the melodies taken from Phil Collins songs are stronger than themes by Mancina, especially in emotional cues - Rock Painting for example.

    But I still like this score, because of several good moments, such as Main Title, Funeral, Bear Fight, Denahi Sees A Sign.

    But, I have to say, the strongest musical moment in this movie is Transformation scene, written by Collins and arranged by Mancina. He's really a good arranger! biggrin

    I haven't heard Tarzan complete score yet. But for the official album, I thought the same thing about themes on Brother Bear... You'll Be In My Heart theme in One Family is more emotional than any other themes by Mancina.

    C'mon what's taking so long, Universal (or whoever will do the job at some point)?

    I personally think the current album is a pretty darn good presentation of the score but I certainly wouldn't refuse!

    I thought Part II's score is not much different from Part I...? But I haven't seen it for a while so I may be wrong. It'll be great to get a complete release anyway.

    Part 2's score isn't as good as Part 1's IMO. It's more a of watered down version, it lacks the punch and vigor that the first one had so much of.

    I want it more than I want life itself. crazy

    NP: unreleased cues from Spanglish (on DVD menu) - Hans Zimmer

    I went to a supermarket to buy clothes on sale, and eventually bought this DVD 30% off! biggrin I don't have enough time to watch it today, so I'm playing the music on menu. It has some beautiful arrangements of the themes! Can't wait to watch movie (not for the first time), and check out how much stuff are left unreleased.

  30. Hans Zimmer - Black Hawk Down

    Seen the Extended Cut yesterday - my most recent DVD purchase. Great movie - but that's Ridley Scott. The score is amazing in the film.

    The album shows that it's an excercise in post-modern mesh of genres, made to be as unpleasant as possible. Hard rock against ethnics, with vocal representing, as Zimmer called it, the "soul of Africa". Very convincing idea and Zimmer inspired the whole improvisation. Controlled chaos at its best.
