New generation directors who have obviously not grown up with orchestral material primarily, who are forming and following trends that are aiming their pop-corn flicks to similarly oriented, younger audiences who won't appreciate an orchestral quality in their fast-food cinematic products. Think about that.
I´ll send the bhangra man to these directors and producers. Maybe a little dance on their heads make them change their seriously damaged brains.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

It's not about grandness nor volume. Is about the musical character in the core. Added to my points made above, is my strong belief that most of them youngsters don't have what it takes in terms of knowledge and musical education in order to do what they should do. It's far easier to approach an orchestra the "loud" and "rock" way, where no particularly advanced arrangements or orchestrations are demanded, just guitar riff-like takes on the orchestra. Something which Zimmer did first i suppose.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Brian Tyler would be the exception to this (despite the fact that his repertoire is far more varied than action and loudness IMO).Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

12 and a half minutes? Perhaps you should have included it in your show Erik?
Listening to your celebration show, and it's a great set of pieces (all between 12 and 13 minutes!). On to Hour 2 now, with LOTR: ROTK and its end piece!
Congrats with the 12 years! That's long, half my age actually.

That´s your opinion and I obviously respect it. But I didn´t mean que quality of this particular suite or their general works. What I meant is they ARE ABLE write purely orchestral music, that you may or may not like, but they don´t HAVE TO enhance it using all kind of tricks.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

Sure... they don't have to but I think Demetris explained earlier that without the electronics, overlays, reverb, etc, a purely symphonic score from these guys exposes their weaknesses.

Thanks for listening! 12 years is indeed a long time but I can still remember my first show as if it were yesterday! Lots of great memories over the years and thanks to my show I've met and talked to a lot of fascinating people!

Exactly.
Listen, think of a beautiful woman who doesn't need anything more than her gorgeous charm in order to captivate you with her presence.
Now think of a not great, decent chick with Insanely large doses of make up that looks great on the outside but leaves you running for the exit next morning when you see her plain. That's an RC score.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I thought exactly the same, but then I watched this:
http://www.vimeo.com/2931602
I mean it proves it can be done without all the reverb and electronic enhancement you mention, and make it sound purely orchestral. That´s why I really don´t understand.
The music on CD sounds very close to this version in term of orchestral arrangement. Close as in it's pretty much the same arrangement, as in I really doubt that it was ever rearranged for a concert setting.
I have no problem with either though. -

NP:Quantum of Solace (Arnold)
I find this score pretty, pretty interesting.
the whole score has some king of dramatic sense all the time that really makes me be unconfortable (in a good sense of the word).
"perla de las lunas" with the electronic touch and the Barry homenages is irresistible.
And How I said hundreds of time "night of the opera" is one of the most original and one of the greatest pieces from Arnold ever! Anyone with me? -

Yes, but I'm waiting for the part where you pick it apart and find something terribly wrong with it. -

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (John Debney)
I haven't even heard Edelman's take on this franchise, nor do I need to. And I'll be damned if I'll ever be stupid enough to watch the obviously obnoxious film. Debney's music sounds fun enough outside of it, maybe the best aspect about the whole thing. It's no classic but it provides for a good half hour of music that is more thrilling than a lot of recent scores I have heard."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

Edelman's score stinks and thank God Debney came in to save the score in the picture. The film is bad but I really, REALLY enjoyed the first half which actually was ten thousand time more exciting and thrilling than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I would have loved to see the rapid fire crossbow booby trap in an Indy film. The entire unearthing of the Dragon Emperor's tomb was quite thrilling!

Odd, Jordi, that you quote Night At The Opera as one of Arnold's most "original" pieces as the piece sounds like a mash of John Barry and Craig Armstrong to me. Still, I do agree with you that it's a fantastic track.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL - Michael Collins
Spectacular choral work (you don't hear stuff like "Civil War" or the amazing finale "Funeral - Coda" any more), grand arrangements with bold themes (the tender melancholic piano waltz that first appears on "Train Station Farewell" and the bold main theme), properly crafted and carefully woven Irish music elements without overdoing it nor tiring the listener and an orchestral sound that is fuller than most stuff you'll hear around. Perfect.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -
