    I like the Dragonball Evolution score a lot. I think it gets better the more times you listen to it.

    NP: The Final Destination - Bryan Tyler

    Recently I've become a Bryan Tyler fan cause I love his action music. He did a good job incorporating the theme from the previous score.


    And you shun me for enjoying The Final Destination? Heathen!


    I never shunned you. I enjoyed both the film and its score.

    I'm working on the review and it is a great score just not the gushing recommendation that Jon gave. He is certainly entitled to his opinion. I took a bit of bashing recently when I gave Lonely Are The Brave ***** too. I'm thinking more in the **** range myself.

    Jon's review at MMUK is dead on! It's a superb effort from Young. He does this sort of stuff with his eyes closed but unlike The Uninvited Young did some new things and created a fresh score that, while channeling his Hellraiser music, introduces some fascinating and new ideas into the realm of horror scoring!

    My review is up on the site. I liked it I just didn't feel it was a top 3 score in the last few years.

    Meh! There hasn't been a really, really good film music year since 2004. But you said "fairly good" so whatever you definition of fairly is then you might be right.

    -Erik-


    Perhaps I should clarify what I meant by “fairly good.” There were more scores that I REALLY enjoyed in 2007 than there were in 06, 08, or 09 (yet). I loved Atonement, The Last Sin Eater, Angel, Ratatouille, Pirates: At World’s End (his best in years, imo). A handful of others had some great cues: I Am Legend, Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, etc. There were several other scores that were generally well praised, though I haven’t been able to get them myself yet: Island of Lost Souls, Lust, Caution, Eastern Promises, I Know Who Killed Me, Zodiac, and maybe The Golden Compass and Lair. Not to mention some big re-releases: LOTR:FOTR, Alien, Wind and the Lion, etc. A fairly good year, in my estimation, especially compared to some others post-2000.

    NP: Driving Miss Daisy - Hans Zimmer.

    I haven't listened to this one for a while now. I love how melodic it is and the synthesizer work is part of the charm, even though it dates the movie more than it should.


    It's a pity it wasn't a small acoustic ensemble instead of synth, but even so, this score has a lot of charm. It's probably my favourite Zimmer theme.


    Werd. I think that's what Hans would have done in this day and age. In fact, I would say that As Good As It Gets is the contemporary version of Driving Miss Daisy. I love that score, and how melodic, quirky, and organic the sound of it is.

    Indeed, Jon´s review is really enthusiastic. But a four star review coming from you, well that´s really something wink Oh, and finally a tracklist in a review kiss

    Although I don´t agree with you in one thing: I don´t think Chris Young is an underrated composer. He is given all the (deserved) praise and recognition when he releases a new work, specially the last years (Bless the Child, Spiderman 3, Ghost Rider, The Uninvited, Drag me to Hell,...). He´s always been, IMO, in the A list of composers.

    NP:Timeline (Goldsmith)

    Is this the last score from the maestro, right? Or it was looney tunes?

    Anyway, Leaving aside some 2 notes action motif played with synths wich I find annoying, this score has the sense of epic that I love from GOldsmith.

    the love theme is beautiful, and the percusive elements(electronics or not) in the action tracks are cool!!!!

    I think both were produced in 2003, but the last track of Timeline, "To my Frineds", is the best way to say goodbye.

    Indeed. With Hellraiser and Hellraiser II, it makes a perfect trio of horror scores. Probably the best horror scores ever composed.

    I think Goldsmith always classed that score as a family adventure score with horror aspects... and I agree with him. So I wouldn't class it as a full-out horror score like the Young examples. The Omen is one of the best horror scores I've ever heard.
  18. Medievil Resurrection (Bob & Barn)

    Don't let the fact that a duo name Bob & Barn composed this fool you of its supposed stupidity. This is a refreshing and fun orchestral soundtrack to the videogame series with enough melodic loveliness to never bore you during its 1 hour length. This is actually thematically very consistent and plays like a good film score. Styles range from fantasy and mystery to full-on adventure. The rhythmic action cues are splendid and overall this sounds very solid. Another example of great talent working in the game industry.

    I was Playing: Lazarus project (Tyler)

    Great too listen Tyler doing a more intimate score. The main theme is addictive, some parts are relaxin, and impressive is how many instruments are played by Tyler himself.

    It's not Mind Blowing like The Fountain but good enough.

    NP:Alien Vs Predaror: Requiem (Tyler)

    With Darkness Falls my favourite Tyler score.

    The first time I listen it, I thought Demetris clearly was overreacting. Now I'm with him.

    Thematically well presented, impressive orchestrations, Long action tracks and a really dark and agressive atmosphere.

    I love Horner, Silvestri, Goldsmith and Goldenthal homenages!

    I find I can listen to lightweight scores by certain composers and be perfectly content with them, most notably Horner, because he always brings something to the table that stands out from the rest. In the case of most of Desplat's scores, they just feel too clinical, too restrained. I don't want that in film music, I want to hear escapism, and passion, and feeling by CROM!


    Not all music can be of the same style and satisfy only certain needs and moods.

    Well, the world of film music could certainly benefit if all those profile projects that went / go to RC hacks and other hacks (e.g. TYLER BATES, HASLINGER etc) went to people like YOUNG instead; in that sense, yes, he's underrated, when someone like him - who's clearly singularly gifted and has returned with one of the best scores of the last 5-years or so, is is given to score crap like THE UNINVITED, the movie.
