    "Benny & Joon"
    Rachel Portman

    One of her best and a good score even for people who may not like her works.

    I am currently impressed by Brian Tyler's "KILLING ROOM" original score, with its moody and melancholic textures, long string lines reminiscent of The Thin Red Line (Zimmer) and the impressive string work overall as well as the enchanting choral sound colors that sent to John Williams' A.I or even Goldenthal in places. Deeply captivating work, very interesting release. Congrats!

    I agree. Love this side of Tyler, when he leaves all his tricks and trademarked big action scoring and does something completely different (and far more creative). I really like the string and choir work on The Killing Room ("Invocation" shocked ). As Jordi would say, this is a score that transports you. The film is highly recommended by the way. Small but fascinating project.

    Saw this movie last night. The score mix was so booming that it was hard to hear the dialogue. Beside that, there weren't much to grasp onto. The album mix may reveal a better score...
  5. NP: Broken Embraces (Alberto Iglesias)

    It's hard to resist this composer. It isn't Talk to Her by any means, but it is good.

    Beautiful score, that one. To be honest, I probably like a couple of the cues from that score more than anything in TALK TO HER, but overall, TALK wins. Same with BAD EDUCATION - some of Iglesias's best cues in that score.
    BROKEN EMBRACES actually is pretty good. Grace, form, heaviness and lightness all in one score. It's a shame noone has noticed it. I guess what with the flood of Herrmannesque scores a few years back (THE MACHINIST, WHERE THE TRUTH LIES, BAD EDUCATION, etc), people aren't so interested in hearing that style.

    NP: 'Marry me, Bella' from NEW MOON

    Probably the most unabashed romantic finale to a Desplat score since -- of all things -- HOSTAGE? (Still his best finale cue, for me.)

    I think those other two are a bit more difficult (haven't heard Broken Embraces) than Todo.

    Main theme of the week now!

    Definitely BROKEN EMBRACES and EDUCATION are tougher listening. BROKEN wouldn't be that high up in my rankings of Almodovar scores, but it's still worth hearing.

  10. "MillenniuM"
    Mark Snow

    (La La Land Records 2CD set)


    Writing a review of it while I listen, will submit later today. Been in the mood to listen to this for day, just now getting to it.

    NP : FINDING NEMO - Thomas Newman



    A lot of charm but ultimately too 'bitty' to really get into.

  12. NP: The Final Conflict - Jerry Goldsmith

    Just started the monumental 9+ minute finale to this wonderful score.

    I thought that the original LP/CD version of "The Final Conflict" was good but the segment that Varese added for the deluxe edition added so much atmosphere leading up to the final powerhouse piece.

    A wonderful score - a masterpiece of spotting, if ever I heard one. (Under an hour's music in a two-hour film!? Revolutionary.)

    Mock me all you want. But when you guys start blowing your load about the masterful spotting in Coma or Patton I'll be waiting to around the corner to take a shit on you.

  18. Well, I haven't seen Coma (and I don't really plan to), but I will defend the spotting of Patton.

  19. Coma? Is there some following for this score that I don't know about?!

    NP: The Twilight Saga: New Moon - Alexandre Desplat

    It had been a long, LONG time since Desplat has completely floored me emotionally with any of his work. Well, I'm still only a few tracks in but the open cue "New Moon" is absolutely superb! I see that this album has an incredibly long running time so I hope this one holds up but with my past history with Desplat I have a feeling it won't... but I will keep an open mind. Let's see if you can hit another homerun this year like you did with Coco Avant Chanel.

    NOTE: The track "Romeo and Juliet" <-- punk

    Loved the score. So dark, thrilling and emotional. But i read very bad reviews for the film, that it's a badly-made torture porn.

    IL*2 Sturmovik (Birds of Prey) - Jeremy Soule

    I keep returning to this one.
    If this was performed by a real orchestra it would rate very highly amongst the finest of WW2 scores.
    It's damn fine scoring anyway!

    What? Torture porn? Porn is what the reviewer must have been watching while writing the review. The Killing Room has nothing to do with torture porn. It is a psichological thriller in a room!

    Ok, now that I read it in context, I still don´t agree on using the concept of "torture porn" but I know what he/she means.

    I agree. Tension would be the word.
