I like it a lot. Very intelligent design of the score and the idea of expanding the orchestral ensemble with each piece (though possibly unnoticeable on album) is quite ingenious.
Glad You like it Pawel. I find it one of the best by Horner in the genre. -

It's fantastic to finally have this on CD, the main theme is truly to die for, one of those rare themes that put chills up and down your spine, IMO it's one of the greatest themes ever written.
I listened to this the other day and it just didn't do anything for me at all. I was quite disappointed. I much preferred the other title that was bundled with Cross of Iron!
I don't know whether Kritzerland is good at selecting clips for their titles but, for titles I'm not familiar with, I frequently find their titles a let down when I hear them in full.

The score to a game about the depths of hell should be horrific right? Well it is, but I'm really getting tired of 'music' such as this. There's nothing to hold my interest. In the beginning I thought this would have something in common with the obvious comparison which is Goldsmith's The Omen, but that was soon laid to rest, because at least Jerry came up with memorable themes. Sorry but this is, once again, not for me.
I'm going to listen to Cinema Symphony now to quickly forget about this one.

Have you noticed the amount of work put into these 2 scores? There's an orchestra, but not only that, there's terrific and complex writing for orchestra, very dense. The choral work? That's impressive to say the least. I'd take proper musical works, even if tough listens, over crappy cheesy rc synth porn that passes itself as music, anyday.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

It's not a very good film at all but I do think Horner's music is excellent. Very intelligent scoring which the film didn't really deserve. -

The way you worded was that Jodie Foster built/designed the plane. Her character did. Her character just so happened to be played by Jodie Foster. Now, I'm not sure if you were turned off by Jodie Foster herself or her playing a character that built/designed an aircraft.

Well, Duh! I know that. Jodie Foster AND her character, weren't believable at all as aircraft designer. What can i tell you? An actors voice, face and style etc are in front of me when i watch the movie, i can't help that, can't ignore that and simply imagine the character alone. Jodie Foster in that movie was totally not believable as an aircraft engineer, She looked like a confused, freaked up and at times dumb lady.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I have listened to some of the CDs from the Vladimir Cosma collection recently. Here's what I think so far:
CD 1: Alexandre le bienheureux/Clérambard
Very nice, joyful and melodic music for both films. A really good CD.
CD 2: La Gloire de mon Père/Le Château de ma mère
Nostalgic, melodic and emotional. I prefer the second score, it is more varied and touches me more. However the CD is a bit too long for one listen.
CD 4: Diva
Except for the two well-known tracks (La Wally and Sentimental Walk) it is virtually unlistenable. It sounds much more like synthetised sound effects than music. I will never return to this, that's for sure.
CD 9: Les Aventures de Tom Sawyer
The two main themes are wonderful but after that the score begins to drag. It becomes a bit boring and offers nothing new. A shorter presentation would have been much better.
CD 13: Les Aventures de David Balfour/Les Roses de Dublin/Le Loup blanc
Probably the best of the five I have listened so far. It is varied, highly melodic and beside the emotional, touching themes there are great - but short - action tracks too from the last score of the CD.
The main theme of Les Aventures de David Balfour was one of the themes that attracted me to film music when I was a child. It was great to listen to it again after so many years. -

I can't see it (Alice In Wonderland)) topping The Wolfman.
I think it does, at least in the sense of thematism (is that a word?).
I find it Alice In Wonderland a very coherent, thematic and enjoyable listen, more so than Wolfman.
That said, this is turning out to be a very powerful Elfman year/season: Terminator, Wolfman and Alice are really powerful scores and some of the best Elfmans I have heard in a long time.

NP: Ryomaden - Naoki Sato
Bombastic main title piece. There are some killer tracks in here, though some of them involve a kind of MVRC approach to it. It's less orchestral than I had expected it to be, relying on more modern sound patches, with grungy, grinding guitar, sometime backed by rhythmic synth choir, and you can even hear some faux middle eastern sound design here. I don't mind these music ideas, but it's kinda distracting how modern this score is for a period drama. So the ratio of synthy vs orchetral stuff is about 50/50, replete with a couple of typical pensive piano cues. There's an Ennio Morricone reference in "Confession" that made me pause a bit and think.... was that from The Mission(?).
I'm gonna encourage you guys to seek out and listen to it to see what your responses will be.
Well, got my hands on it, and you're right: it's very enjoyable and listenable and at least on CD a very good experience.
No idea how it works in the film/series, as I am unfamiliar with it (and I think with the composer, although I think he may have come to prominence through video game scoring? If he is that same bloke, that particular, slightly uneven style certainly shines through here!).
But I enjoy this soundtrack for its variety of styles, which keeps interest throughout, and -to my mind- sets it apart from your standard "MV" type of score (although some of the elements -the percussion, electronics and "power theme"scoring are certainly reminiscent).
The main title is right in your face (which I like).
I gather this is only the first volume of a set (?) so I'm looking forward to hearing more.
It certainly got my interest! Thanks for the recommendation, lp!'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -
