    Ryuichi Sakamoto even!? wink


    No, Ryuichi Sugimoto is a famous Peruvian hammond organ player, specialising in easy-listening lounge covers of 80's rap songs. Apparently he's all the rage in gay bars, Taliban outposts and Rotterdam.

    Oh SHIT!
    It's NOT a typo. The guy actually exists!

    Though apparently he has little to do with hammonds...

    Is he by eck!!? I'll make a point of avoiding Rotterdam, Taliban outposts and gay bars in future.

    What about Ry Cooder - The End of Violence, i've never heard anything by him.


    Cooder always writes slightly estranging, more-often-than-not guitar-driven, minimalist, folk-like music. It's an acquired taste, to be sure, but I like it.
    The End Of Violence is very much in the vein I mentioned above, except it's more fusion-imbued. It's hard to pinpoint Cooder to any particular style.

    The two Arctic volumes are scores from a serie of tv-documentaries about the Arctic region. Sugimoto is like a brother of Vangelis and Kitaro. You know, the kind of score that's outdated but still very sweet in terms of melody and atmosphere.

    Sounds interesting, particularly because I like both Vangelis and Kitaro.

    Yes, but there's also a bit of a difference. Do you know that feeling of timeless quality with some of Vangelis's rather outdated scores? Sugimoto's music lacks that specific quality.

    Afrika - Wataru Hokoyama

    I'm picking this up in the short time that it will likely be available. I've got to import it from Japan and it's quite pricey. I've heard samples of this though and it sounds incredible. Never the less, it will be kept hidden away until Christmas day. wink


    I've heard the clips from this score too. It sounds incredible.

    Maybe? I bought quite a few of his albums during the 80's so maybe I have a nostalgic attachment to him.

    Heaven And Earth is lovely ( for which I have you to thank for that one D beer )

    It is, really gorgeous. But word has it it was all Randy Miller's

    (Randy Miller .... conductor
    Randy Miller .... music arranger
    Randy Miller .... orchestrator)

    which would explain the vast difference in style and quality between this and his other works, some of them sounding ridiculously childish to me.

    If I remember right, La Terra was just ok (one of his bleak scores).
    I've heard only 1 cue from Tra Due Mondi on a compilation and it was good stuff.
    Let me know what you think of them.

    • CommentTimeNov 19th 2008
    La Terra is indeed a very bleak, Italian noir score. But I think it's just more than just ok. I think it's an advantage this score remains bleak, without any real identity.
  20. My birthday spree:

    James Horner - Braveheart
    Hans Zimmer/John Powell - Kung Fu Panda
    James Newton Howard - King Kong.

    I think Greystoke was my first of his.

    It is my first by him as well. I haven't had a chance to listen to it since I am out of town for the holiday, but I look forward to hearing it when I get home.

    Thomas Newman - Finding Nemo
  27. Gears of War 2 - Steve Jablonsky
    Definitely looking forward to this one - I usually like what Jablonsky does.

    Viking: Battle For Asgard - Richard Beddow, Simon Ravn & Walter Mair
    From what I've heard of this so far it's trying to be Shore's Lord of The Rings - and it's certainly worth a listen.

    Too Human - Steve Henifin
    Another choral/percussion/strings-dominated score.

    It's not a legit cd is it? AFAIK the only proper releases of Greystoke are on compilations- John Scott conducts his own favorite scores and Concerts pour L'Aventure. But whatever the case it's fantastic music. punk

    Well...it is a real pressed CD from Tarantula Records. It has the Warner Brothers Music Corp symbol on the CD, made in W Germany. It has real printed covers, and looks as real as it gets if it IS a bootleg.
