    JP: Dalek Empire

    Another Big Finish Productions audio play: this one features the Daleks from the Doctor Who franchise overrunning the galaxy ...without the Doctor intervening this time. It's a gnat's eye view of interstellar events, which makes for compellig storytelling as we get to see (well, hear) all the things we know about the Daleks but seldom actually see...like actual genocide.

    It hammers the evil of this damned race home very effectively in what boils down to a classic resistance vs. nazis story on an epic scale.
    Compelling stuff!

    Watching Woody Allen films is a good way to see how the classical material is used in film. He doesn't use very much original material at all.

    listen to more classical music!

    I know. He uses music that he edited the scenes to. Some of these pieces aren't used in the final film, but he just plays a vinyl disc with music he thinks fits the story and just edits to it. I know a bit about his process from a great Stig Bjoerkman interview which for some reason was sold as Allen's autobiography here. (Woody Allen on Woody Allen)

    I can't stand Woody Allen.

  10. I love his films myself. I need to buy some of his classics.

    Same here. Very distinct style, although at times he can get quite irritating with the voice-over and all wink
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    NP: 2000 A.D. Into The Future - Rick Wakeman

    The guy has got a great ear for symphonic melody, but the synths in this 1991 work sound incredibly early eighties-like. It's still intriguing enough to keep me listening, but I do keep expecting Pia Zadora and Jermaine Jackson to suddenly pop up.

    I agree. Some of his later "new age" albums from the 90's ain't too good. I remember I had one of them once...may have been SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD. Too cheesy and non-descript for me.

    JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE WORLD will forever be a classic that I play often, though.

    You can't blame the man for not being prolific, at least. How many studio solo albums has he released? 30? 40?
    I am extremely serious.
  16. Ralph Vaughan Williams - The Lark Ascending

    What a beautiful piece. It's just wonderful and it's my first listen.

    Timmer beer

    I am definitely looking for more RVW. I loved the Fantasia on Theme by Thomas Tallis and this is another priceless gem.

  17. It's time for me to rediscover classical music and get very well acquainted with it. Also I need to listen to much more jazz than I ever did.

    I have to admit that his new film Whatever Works had so many sexual references that it became a bit annoying to me after awhile.

    IMO one of THE greatest pieces of music of all time! Nothing else comes close.

    For a more film music kick check out Symphony # 7 which is based on his original score to Scott of The Antarctic

  22. Yes, it's on my search list for sure and I will get back to Lark Ascending tomorrow, It's just beautiful.

    I also plan to listen to it while reading the poem that originally inspired RVW. It must be a beautiful experience to combine listening with reading and when I do that, I will definitely post my impressions right here smile

    NAQOYQATSI isn't film score. Its a score for documentary film (please correct me if i am wrong). So, i personally doesn't like to include in film score category.

    So it's not a film score, but rather a film score.
    Yes, yes.
    That makes perfect sense.

    Because obviously documentaries are not shot on film, but on... err... paper! Or...or...burritos!
    Yeah! That's it!
