I love that stuff! It's part of the zanyness of the music.
A little TOO zany for me. I find the powerful orchestral writing to be the highlight for me... and for those that have heard my suite can hear why... more on that when I create the EDITED SUITES thread

Man, if quality of film is a consideration for listening to a score, I'm afraid most of Goldsmith's scores are out, pretty much all of Mark McKenzie's, and everything that Joel McNeely or Bruce Broughton have scored in the last 10 years. But I agree with you that the film is terrible.
NP - Life as a House - Mark Isham
I really enjoy this score. There are some really really beautiful tracks in there, and some that are just really happy. Not every track sounds the same, though, which I appreciate. It's a great little score that probably doesn't get noticed as much as some. -

Batman Forever - Elliot Goldenthal
So good!
Looking forward to the much-rumoured release of Batman and Robin but I hope they give it a proper release and not an unlistenable every-last-note one. (Of course, they'll do the unlistenable one, but there's always hope.)
I hope that's true they're in the process of assembling it James. And I hope they keep it to 1 CD, it's not like the complete provided the best listening experience, know what I mean?"considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

You know, that's a brilliant idea! I have lots of custom videogame suites too that I could share, just so people could sample a little bit of the great videogame music out there. Looking forward to the topic.

Perhaps I'm different from many of the people on this forum in that I don't actively seek out soundtracks to movies I hate.... -

Nobody actively seeks out scores to movies they hate. We just happen to enjoy good music regardless of where it's from! (For the most part.)

I think i have started to fall in love with this score. Very nice score from Michael Giacchino. I personally think he certainly deserved to win Golden Globe Award. Well done!
A rubbish score. Avatar deserved to win.
Avatar is completely rubbish score. At least, Up contains more original music, but Avatar contains most repeated works, just sucks and moreover, he shamelessly copied from Hans Zimmer music. Horner is completely Shame Shame Puppy Shame guy.

OK, OK, I really just wanted to post that youtube link. Did you watch it? Yeah, I tend to seek out more music by film composers I like regardless of if I've seen the movie or not.
PS, what did you think of the Gigli soundtrack? -

Michael would you agree about the influences on some tracks by the Powell's Bourne trademarked string ostinato and also "Minstrel Boy (Film Version)" as appears in the BLACKHAWK DOWN soundtrack, by Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros? Although not directly noticeable (the bourne more obvious that the bhd song), still i got that clear impression.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I must listen to this one again. Loved it. -

What's going on there is that Minstrel Boy is an old folk song (re-performed for BHD), which is the same idiom that La Terre Tremblante is meant to be part of. But there's so many ways that Beltrami could have been influenced to write it, and for me it doesn't seem likely that BLACK HAWK DOWN was the point of inspiration. There's too many more direct ways it could have happened.
I haven't listened to the action tracks often enough to notice whether there's a link to Powell.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

I know, i am not saying it's BHD influenced, but that it reminded me of that song as appeared in the film version of BHD.
As for the action cues, you created a custom playlist and left them out i suppose?

Not only in the "In the electric Mist" score but also in Beltrami´s "The Hurt Locker". Powell´s shadow is long.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

Yeap, i heard correctly then. I'd say that although i'd not considered Powell a widely influential composer, still his BOURNE ostinatos are everywhere and for a good reason
Same goes for the DARK KNIGHT / BATMAN mannerisms by Zimmer, which are also practically everywhere. Even in Gordon, although that last example - even if it sounds pretty influenced in some places of Daybreakers, still for Gordon alone, it might have been a case of extreme coincidence.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I know. It reminds it vividly although it's a much higher level of composition, thus this is why it's very possible that it's pure coincidence! Btw i've been listening non-stop to DB and also Mao's last dancer yesterday, his talents are truly not utilized as much as they should, in today's film music. Very impressive composer.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -
