    I think it is. It's got a wonderfully Christmasy feel to it... but that may have more to do with the fact that *I* feel very Christmasy at the moment!?

    Not only that, but it provided my favourite Graeme Revell score. Isn't it ironic that a composer's best score be a rejected score? I wouldn't say I necessarily like it better than Goldsmith's, but man, if only he'd scored The Crow or Daredevil like that, I'd be such a bigger fan of his.

    NP: Gangs of New York, Rejected. Elmer Bernstein
    The liner notes that the "real gem" on this CD set is Gangs of New York, but I've yet to truly open up to the supposed wonders of this score. To me, so far, it's just a good old average Bernstein score. The real masterpiece of this set, if you ask me, is the rejected score of The Journey of Natty Gann. It helps I've owned another copy of this jewell for years already.

  12. Miya, you can hear the complete score to Road to Perdition at the film's official website. It doesn't touch Meet Joe Black, IMO. 'That Next Place' is one of my ten favorite cues...maybe five favorite. If you haven't heard it you might want to check out Cinderella Man. There are a lot of short cues, but some very nice thematic ones, and the finale title track is worth the price of the album.

    NP: Seiken Densetsu: Legend of Mana, Yoko Shimomura
    As much as I woe the begone days of video game action scores, RPGs is really where game scoring of old is still alive and more beautiful than ever. We have the same highly thematic scoring techniques of yesteryear but this time in full orchestral glory. This installment of the Seiken Densetsu does not disappoint. It's one breathtaking theme after the other. And at 2 discs full of music, I still can't get enough.

    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Alexandre Desplat

    First listen... about 9 tracks in... lots of Desplat minimalist noodling... but nothing standing out so far. I'm worried that I'm being set up for yet another Desplat disappointment. I really hope something grabs my attention soon.

    I was Playing : Days of Thunder (zimmer)

    This was the main reason why I'm now writting here ( Dammed! could say a lot of people).

    I remember waching the movie only for this "triumph" motif with electric guitars. I love it!

    Why the last action track is not in the bootleg???

    NP:K2 (Zimmer)

    One of the best Zimmer scores ever. And one of my favourites.

    There are a lot of REAl orchestra and a lot of ETNICH instruments here. You can hear some stuff from his posterior works : Prince of Egypt, Gladiator, Peacemaker...

    NP: Hancock - John Powell

    Saw the film last night and LOVED IT! Lots of fun, good twist even though my wife saw it coming a mile away, solid special effects (although the flying sequences sucked) and the score, especially the final two tracks, really impressed me. One of the biggest laughs I got was Powell's nod to Superman when the new and improved Hancock arrives to save the day in the middle of the film. Is that cue even on the score album?!

    Anyway, the highlight of the score, IMHO, are the last two cues. They worked brilliantly in the movie, pumped up the emotions and sent shivers down my spine! And they got a great mix two. Front and centre leading the way!

    I also dig the (cliched) urban sound of Hancock's theme at the beginning of the picture and it's development throughout the score. It begins as a tragic theme that would eventually develop into the heroic, fully symphonic version we would later hear in the middle and end of the film during the short lived end credits.

    I think this is a superb score!

    Perhaps when I've seen the movie I will listen to more than just 'Hollywood Blvd', 'Death and Transfiguration' and 'The Moon and The Superhero' - but those three tracks are AWESOME.

    Glad to hear a positive opinion about the movie, I'm looking forward to seeing this on BluRay when I get back home for Christmas.

    Back to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Alexandre Desplat

    I wouldn't say that this score is mediocre but it's not overall a GREAT score. There is some exceptional writing in Button but I'm flabbergasted at some of the praise that this score is getting. It doesn't really go above and beyond... at least during the first two-thirds of the score. The biggest issue I have is that the score starts off with a whimper. The first half, minus "A New Life" (which lifts from the far superior Birth) really doesn't grab your attention and for me had me wanting to turn the score off because I didn't really hear where this score was going. However, the orchestrations are tight and clean and well thought out... as always with Desplat.

    Now thankfully I didn't turn this score off because as we get to the last quarter of the score Desplat finally comes out of his shell and delivers that emotional punch I was looking for. It's not something that SAVES this score but it did wake me up from the daze I was in. Another elements that stood out was the sax solo in "Growing Younger." Smooth and soothing. Very jazzy and John Williams like. And there is a gorgeous piano solo featuring "Benjamin and Daisy" theme which I adore and is the main track I would most definitely return to.

    Overall, it's a solid effort and technically impressive but lacks that lasting touch. However, I'm thinking more spins might help with my appreciation but usually a score that don't knock me dead on the fist listen RARELY holds up on further listens. However, I must say that I'm still regretting not including BIRTH on my best of 2004 list. Even though it's use in the film didn't impress me it still goes down as one of the most original scores of the decade and a fabulous listen on CD.

    This is the original tracks coupled with In Like Flint, I wish I'd bought the varese re-releases of the original albums which IMO are a far superior listening experience. I do have the old LPs but it's a pain in the arse setting up my turntable.

    Still, this is a great, goofy fun listen. biggrin

    That is RETARDED! A great tip of the cap to Superman - one of the most memorable cue in the score - and they don't include it on the album? How frustrating!
