    Now playing "Raiders of the lost ark". This album has some of the greatest themes ever composed for cinema, yet I can not fully enjoy it. Most of it is uninteresting underscore and Mickey Mousing. I think I'd enjoy a 20-minute release with concert versions of the main themes alot more than the actual score.

    I don't think I've ever seen any film score fan utter the slightest critical word of "Raiders..." so I guess this is a first.

    I think as a film score, it's impossible to fault. But as an album, I guess -themes aside- it's not for everyone. Definitely the type of score I love though, one of my favourites.

    Parts of it certainly are very Mickey-Mousey, but the brilliance of Williams (for me) is the way he makes it so consistently musically interesting. One could also say that Back to the Future is very Mickey-Mousey, but that is nowhere near so genuinely musical.


    Both Raiders and Back To The Future are "genuinely musical."

    I agree, apart from the bit about Back to the Future.

    Agreed. It's surely one of the greatest film scores ever composed. But solely as a listening experience, not so much. To me, mickey mousing on album always seems like alot of unfulfilling and incomplete fragments edited together at random. Of course when you watch the movie, you realize it's not random, but random is how it appears when you listen to it as an album outside of its intended context. I love Mickey mousing in movies, on albums I find it almost unlistenable.

    Twisted Valentine is a new digital release from Silva which I'm doing a short review on. I believe it will be digital only.

    I have actually been expounding the virtues of the original album release over any subsequent version ever since 1999 or so...but I realize my type of ranting and raving may be too subtle to be noticed. angelic

    The original album plays well indeed... but the edits are atrocious!

    Southall's right. Not a note to be found!

    Edit: Actually, I'm not in the mood. Instead:


    The Pagemaster     James Horner

    Purely to be controversial, I think this is better than The Rocketeer.

    NP: WAR - AVATAR - HORNER

    Back In the days I started to listen to Film Music and My Two favorites Were Horner and Zimmer I was Dreaming about a score written By Those Two together. This Track along with Gathering all the Na'vi clans for battle Is Like A Dream Come True although Zimmer hasn't got anything to do with It, of course wink Anyway Just Love It punk

    Now wait a minute. Have you been using this ironic mode all these years when talking about Back to the Future? Suddenly things become clear! We've been in agreement for all this time.

    Some very good action passages here. Not as patriotic as Jerry's replacement score, but still worth while, I feel.
