  1. NP: Hostage (Desplat)

    One of the sillier films Desplat has scored, but definitely one of the most enjoyable scores. His use of ostinati comes in handy throughout.

    Also this morning: Tetro (Golijov) - one of the richest scores I've heard this year

    NP : THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI - Malcolm Arnold

    A fine score but I can easily do without the Colonel Bogie March ( not composed by Arnold anyway ), never liked it.

    Which version are you listening to, Tim?

    Is the suite of cues on the Chandos "Film Music of Sir Malcolm Arnold" CD a good representation of the original tracks?


    Yes they are and that's the version I was listening to. cool

    NP : THE ISLAND - Paul Lewis



    This is subtitled 'A Mood Piece For Soprano and Orchestra', this is a 10 minute suite from a 1976 TV series and it's absolutely gorgeous. Lewis is a truly unsung big talent of TV scoring, hell, this piece would make brilliant film music let alone TV.

    Yes and I will edit the dialogues out of the first cue and remix it with the rest. It will be an even more worthy listening experience. That second cue on the CD is SO good.

    I do wish that first cue didn't have the horrible intrusions because there's some fabulous music contained in it which doesn't feature anywhere else on the CD. (I agree with you about the second cue - it's my favourite too.)

    Great theme. The actual underscore is a bit lackluster at time but you will never notice it when the action are happening.

    NP: The Red Canvas - James Peterson

    Last year's big surprise came via MovieScore Media with their release of the superb The Possibility of an Island. This year MovieScore Media does it again by bringing us James Peterson's outstanding and surprisingly mature work for The Red Canvas. A bold, thematic, fully orchestral score with a Golden Age sensibility featuring "Ballet for Brawlers" - an 11 minute barn burner which is one of the most impressive action cues I've heard since Frederic Talgorn's "La Course De Chars" from Asterix Aux Jeux Olympiques. It's easily one of the five best cues I've heard this year. It never lets up with it's strong rhythms, rapid fire brass writing and colorful orchestrations. Peterson ends the piece with a wonderful flourish that can only signify that he had a lot of fun writing this score. I heard this cue for the first time in the car two days ago and I had to pull over because the emotions overwhelmed me and tears started welling up in my eyes. It's great hearing music like this because it's such a rare thing these days.

    While there are a few more outstanding action cues the score is dominated by rich dramatic music which reminds me of something Miklos Rozsa would have written. Fans of lush string lead music will eat this score up. "Death and Resurrection" - both parts - are superb.

    Again, this is a most unexpected surprise. I would have never expected a modern day martial arts movie to receive a score of this caliber. The Red Canvas is easily one of the best scores I've heard this year and I can't wait to hear more from this incredibly talented up and coming composer! He reminds me of a younger Michael Giacchino. Full of talent, promise and has a clear understanding and appreciation of classic symphonic film music.

    Thank you Mikael for releasing this! Without you this score would not have seen the light of day. And for those that are bored with modern day film music and are looking for something that reminds you of why you fell in love with film music in the first place - symphony orchestra and memorable themes - then I highly recommend this score! Actually, I recommend this score to everyone. Simply brilliant!

    BTW, the bonus "Moving Images Suite" is a wonderful tribute to film scores of past and present!
