[Closed] Now Playing XXXI

I bet I will! Just completed my first listen and I loved it!

NP: Angels In America - Thomas Newman

A real tour de force of Newman's career. Superb album - really fantastic stuff.

NP: X-Men: The Last Stand - John Powell

Excellent score!

NP: End Credits from Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs - John Powell


Very different from the previous one but great!

I haven't listened to it in a long time, but I tend to agree with you about this. I think the score is much better than people give it credit for being.



I think this is my favorite Indiana Jones score, although I've only heard The Last Crusade once or twice in the film, so I can't know for sure.

I've never heard this or Beyond Rangoon, but I've heard they are both good. What is the overall style?



I am not a fan of his first score. On album it had several very good moments, but I did not think it worked within the film very well. But I have to agree with you... the score to Half Blood Prince was much better than what I was expecting based on the general reaction to it. It actually worked well in the film. I like his music for Professor Slughorn and the music for "Harry and Hermione" quite a lot, and of course the references to past Williams' themes in "Ginny" and the quiditch scenes.

Oh cool. I should definitely check it out sometime. Probably in the film first, since I've never seen the film either.



I loved the Ducktales TV show, but I haven't seen it in years. What is the music like?





NP: Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs - John Powell

I have been playing this score almost every day for the past week. At first I didn't appreciate it, but now I'm loving it. I especially like Buck's theme, the dinosaur theme, the Jupiter references, and the incorporation of Lou Rawls' love song.

Another fan jumps on the bandwagon. This score still sends me to



But this is a fantastic entry from Powell and stronger than his first Ice Age score imo.

James and the Giant Peach - Randy Newman

Another score I haven't heard in years. Most enjoyable.

Wich track from The two towers and Return of the king Do you think is the best reprise of rohan theme? (One of my all time favourites)

I agree, but that´s because the theme has been so properly introduced before that we get this adrenalin push, very similar to that great Fellowship theme version we get at the start of the final battle in front of Mordor´s Gates. It wouldn´t have the same impact without the previous versions.

I think RotK is such a great score because of the groundwork done in the scores before. For me, the three scores are inseperable. You would need all three to reach the greatest level of excitement.

One of the best scores he's ever written, before he started blowing the listening experiences on CD off with the hordes of short, fragmented tracks. This score's a real winner, it contains some absolutely beautiful music in it.



Adagio-like, very emotional and powerful, string-led (if we are talking about THE THIN RED LINE, that is). Also very, very influential work.

Beyond Rangoon is also good, an exotic one, but not even close to THE THIN RED LINE.

Couldn't agree more. By far.

Now I'm extremely interested.

They're right. It's BY FAR his best.
