    Batman Returns - Danny Elfman

    This album is okay, IMO. I always enjoy the Batman theme whenever it pops up, but that's not very often, and there are only a couple time when it's really let loose. This is far less enjoyable for me than the other Elfman CD I just got, Sommersby. That's excellent stuff. This one is not bad, it's just not that good either (IMO, IMO, IMO for all you elfmaniacs out there).


    You aren't alone Christopher.

    I can take or leave Elfman's Batman scores, I just don't care for that style of his music ( I believe I'm in the minority here ), SOMMERSBY on the other hand is brilliant and is one of my favourite scores.


    IMHO, Batman Returns is right up there with the original. It's one of those rare scores that I would love to hear from beginning to end preformed live by a symphony orchestra. It's a score brimming with themes that flow effortlessly from one to another. It's one of Elfman's very best works!

    NP : FAREWELL TO THE KING - Basil Poledouris



    Gorgeous score with subtle touches of ethnic instruments that's definitely more John Barry than Hans Zimmer.

  3. Why would Poledouris be Hans Zimmer?

    He's not. I meant that his etchnic approach ( and themes too actually ) was more like Barry's than Zimmer's, more subtle.

    I consider myself a Goldsmith nut. But I've never really gotten into this score.
    I'm not big on jazz tinged music.
    Maybe I need to mature my musical palette.

    NP : DRACULA - John Williams



    Great old fashioned style romantic horror score cool
    On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt
  14. Listened to most of "The Sandlot" bootleg (35 tracks). Found it's not only not the complete score, but it's also missing cues from the Varese Club fucked-up release. It almost seems like two different scores. I wouldn't be surprised if Newman was asked to re-write some of his score.

    Anyway, it's not as good as I remembered. :-(

    Completely agree.
    It's one of those scores that plays almost like an opera, with such a clear progression of story and sound that one track really can't do without the other.

    I never realize dit but this score never features in any of my home-brewn compilations: it's indeed all or nothing.

    Me neither. It's a score I had no desire to hear again because of the jazz, and I'm just as big a nut as you claim to be...

    You can't please all people all the time.

    NP: Star Wars / Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Charles Gerhardt & National Philharmonic)

    First listen ever. I've heard many varying performances of Star Wars Main Theme before, but not like this where the most important cues of the first score are played out by a different orchestra & conductor. I like it a lot, even though the tempo is slower than the regular version, which takes some getting used to. At least the tremendous energy of the original is present, so the music presented here is every bit as awesome.

    Also included is a 21 minute suite from the finale music from CE3K (that other timeless Williams classic and a top three favourite of mine), which isn't always faithful, so I think a little of the emotion and power is lost in the translation. It's still brilliant to hear this wonderful music played out by such a fine orchestra, but I prefer the original recording.

    I was playing Timeline (Goldsmith)

    if only he didn't used this synth motif so much....

    anyway, the 11 minuts final action track is pure Goldsmith. with the life and synthetic percusion.

    After watching the Goldsmith doco which features the recording of this score I had to dig it out and have a listen again. There are some very nice moments to be heard here.

    Love Goldsmith!

    But I also love when he goes subtle love



    NP: Spanglish - Hans Zimmer

    I already talked about this score a lot here, but am I allowed to say again? wink Themes and arrangements are so beautiful and emotional. Every cue captured subtle emotions of the characters... I love the way how music works in this film.


    Another thing I really like about this score is its lively performances. Heitor Pereira's guitar is like speaking. The violin & cellos by Toriology (hope I spelled their name correctly) are also energetic and beautiful. Even Zimmer's (supposedly) piano plays an important role in many emotional scenes.

    As described in the director's liner notes, when I listen to this score I can see those people playing around their instruments, discussing, chatting, laughing and drinking wines! beer

    Think the piece is flawless. There is more emotion and power in this recording then the original soundtrack recording. IMHO, it is the single greatest re-recording of all time! Gerhardt and the NPO nailed it!

    Hotel for Dogs (John Debney) - In the film

    Charming, beautiful work from Debney for the typical feel good american movie.

  26. Humanoids From The Deep (James Horner)

    Being one of Horner's first everyone needs to start somewhere. So it isn't as good as Battle Beyond the Stars, but it sure shows the foundations we would later get in his superior work during the eighties. That's about all I can say really, as I find it really hard to enjoy it. The upside is it's very short.

    NP:Black Rain Bootleg (Zimmer)

    A really good ,yes I said good, score.

    Coherent in orchesrtations and themes. And deliciously oriental flavour.

    A great, great influence for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight scores.
