NP: The Fifth Element - Eric Serra
Great score for the movie. The album can be a bit of a chore to listen to, but the themes for Leeloo/Fifth Element, when they appear, are worth it. I think Mr. Serra could do great business working in Japan on anime productions, where his multi-ethnic scoring approach would be wondrous. Similar to the Yoko Kanno approach.
Not a score I would buy, but I like the music when I watch the film, Serra's or not. It complements the less than serious tone and slightly kitschy art design of the film very well.
I find that Serra is often able to provide the right kind of music that the movie needs. However, his most noteworthy failure is The Messenger. I wish someone else had scored it. -

NP: Monster - bt
Sometimes I just feel like getting away from classic symphonic sound. This rarely happens but for some reason today I want to hear something more along the lines of this highly underrated gem by Brian Transaeu. Guitars, drum kit, synth-pading. As I listening more closely I begin to realize how intelligent, creative, well structured and well thought out the music is. And I absolutely ADORE the "Ferris Wheel" music and the heartbreaking finale. A always shed a tear when the "Ferris Wheel" cue comes on. The theme is magnificent and always catches me off guard when it first appears in "The Bus Stop." I'll listening to that cue now and I have goosebumps. It's one of my all time favorites! It's so simplistic yet so extremely powerful music. Love it, Love it, LOVE IT!
This is a score that worked beautifully in the film (which I have to revisit because of Charlize Theron outstanding performance) and IMHO works very well away from it as well. Give it a chance!
A great album and is a score that I sadly ignored on my Top 10 of 2003.

I love some of the tracks on this one also, Erik. "Ferris Wheel" and "The Bus Stop" are not out of place in anyone's favourites playlist.

Indeed! About the only bit which is actually by Jones is the main theme, isn't it? -

I just looked back at my Best of 2003 list and this is what I included. What could I have taken out?
10. GODS AND GENERALS (John Frizzell and Randy Edelman)
09. SECONDHAND LIONS (Patrick Doyle)
08. THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN (Trevor Jones)
07. ANGELS IN AMERICA (Thomas Newman)
06. X2: X-MEN UNITED (John Ottman) 2003
05. THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS (Don Davis)
04. SINBAD: THE LEGEND OF THE SEVEN SEAS (Harry Gregson-Williams)
03. NED KELLY (Klaus Badelt) 2003
02. THE MATRIX RELOADED (Don Davis)
01. THE RETURN OF THE KING (Howard Shore)
What an absolutely disappointing list of scores. I can't remember the last time I spun Secondhand Lions. Angels in America should have been ranked MUCH higher. X2 shouldn't have been on this list. Sinbad should have been ranked lower. I think the last time I played Ned Kelly is when I last aired it on the program in January of 2003.
So, it looks like there could have been room for Monster... and room for improvement on my "best of" selections. Jesus, I'm embrassed by this list.

This is always the trick. My best of 2003 probably would have included CHILDREN OF DUNE, and I doubt it would now. We always revise our views.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Thanks for posting this, Erik. It's really interesting for someone to revisit their favs list and see how things change. Are you going to do a revised list to see how it has changed?
Keeping CDs I'm not keen on now is worth it - I'll maybe like them more once I mature a bit more!The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

There's some good ones too, though. Numbers 4 and 6 I think I'd find pretty embarrassing (and 3, 9 and 10 wouldn't be in my own list, that's for sure) but 1, 2, 5 and 7 suggest it wasn't a bad year overall. -
