    NP : THE INFORMANT - Marvin Hamlisch



    Some of this is bonkers, a mix of Goldsmith ( Flint stylee ), Barry, Mancini, Legrand, Schifrin, Bacharach... And you are right James, I LOVE IT! cool

    NP: Bee Movie - Rupert Gregson-Williams

    One of the best RGW score to date. Surely it owes very much to that British orchestral brass sound from Wallace & Gromit, but it's such an addictive and fun listen
  4. I wonder which cues were arranged and/or written by Hans Zimmer.

    He's credited? I'd imagine very few to none.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  6. He's not credited, he ghostwrote cues though.

    One third of Iron Man was ghost-written by Zimmer for example.

    Timeline Rejected (Jerry Goldsmith)

    No better way to end a long career of outstanding music than with that kickass 11 minute cue... That doesn't mean this score was essentially Jerry on autopilot, but I don't care. I love Jerry in familiar territory.

    I was unlucky to snatch a copy of this before it went sold out. But my bro helped me out. smile


    While it is not one of his finest, it's definitely the strongest score of him from his final years, and then a kickass 11 minute cue can do miracles wink

    speaking of Jerry Goldsmith, I'm listening to The Last Castle (Jerry Goldsmith)

    Decent, missing the sparks to make it special but at least there's the outstanding moment in "The Flag" that gets me every single time
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh

    Really?

    Not sure why this should surprise me actually.

  9. Yeah, ASCAP credits Zimmer as writer on cues to Armageddon, Bee Movie and Iron Man. Reportedly Djawadi was almost fired due to the producers not knowing what they want (they wanted a hip score and this is why they hired Djawadi totally against the director, who, of course, wanted his collaborator John Debney on it). After changing the vision of the score (alternating between heavy metal and full orchestra - the final score is a mix of both) they decided that they would fire Djawadi and Zimmer went in then, rescoring much of the movie with his usual peers - Balfe, Orvarsson and other people.

    Biggest ghostwritten score by Zimmer was first Pirates of the Caribbean, where the credit went to Badelt because Zimmer's contract on The Last Samurai was exclusive.

    NP : JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS - Bernard Herrmann



    Today a score like this would get the innevitable, generic, multi-layered choirs.

    Herrmann, being the genius he was, gives no choir and he took away the strings and gives us a brassy, percussive powerhouse of a score that conjurs a world of fantasy like no other composer could, this is music of fantastic escapism and all brilliantly conducted by Bruce Broughton.

    it's not so inside. Debney talked a little bit, Zimmer talked a little bit more, and the ascap makes the rest tongue

    About Iron man i never paid attention to the score, but a few days ago , searching for a heavy metal score, i re listened it. And it's better than many people thinks. An addictive main theme, a lot of electric guitars and a huge (real) orchestra behind of all this. It's like "miami internationall" from Casino Royale but with more guitars.

    And...Zimmer is in there! So i like it ;=)

    Odd. The exact opposite happens to the scores he's actually credited, it seems.

    Hans contributed to four album tracks
    2. Honex
    5. Vanessa Intervenes
    9. Barry Turns The Screws
    11. Hearts, Flowers and Hive Closures

    The major cues that I like were by Rupert (3. Pollen Jocks & 4. Barry Flies Out) and Rupert with Lorne Balfe (14. Land that Plane).

    NP: Gladiator - Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard

    One of the best Zimmer score. Just starting the first track, going into the second. Contemplative cues matching the visuals perfectly. Leading into the third track, "The Battle". Love the General's theme...
  22. NP: Journey of Natty Gann (James Horner)

    I've given this a few cracks over the last six months, and still haven't been able to get into it.

    Yes, it´s like hearing the orchestra in the background saying Hey! We are here! WE ARE HERE!!

    There was a live performance posted somewhere that had all the rock elements removed and was just orchestra, and it was pretty good!

    Strange, this is supposed to a VERY accessible Horner, a very melodic piece of beauty that has finally been released and my only complaint is that should have happened a lot earlier, like 24 years or so.

    Yes, the Fimucite Festival web featured the whole piece. I agree, it was a very good piece.

  29. Maybe if it were a bit folkier... ?
    The trick with Horner is that when you hear the early stuff, in a way you've already heard it in some other form, so it doesn't make the impression it should.

    NP: Legend of Butch and Sundance (Basil Poledouris)

    Now THIS I like.

    I think Horner, and maybe Goldsmith (just a smidge, a tiny smidge), is the only composer whose work does that. To me anway.
