    It's an out of print BBC release from 2000 which can seemingly be obtained on Amazon for 45 pounds.

    He beat me by two minutes because I was about to answer my own question too!

    I don't remember the series, which is odd - it's the sort of thing I'd usually watch without question.

    Much as I like Philippe Rombi, I think whoever said Chris Gordon was probably the most overrated composer on these boards (since his hype is relative to only a handful of scores) probably should have said it of Rombi on those grounds.
    (Read it again everyone, I'm not actually saying he's overrated.)


    I don't dislike Rombi by any means, but my very limited exposure to his music has yet to leave me truly wowed. I mean, it's nice and all, but it hasn't made a special connection to me.


    What have you heard? A lot of his music is reminiscent of Williams, which is nice. I find his music very charming.

    Yes.

    No: CD release is from 2000, from a 1991 (I think?) BBC documentary series.
    It's long out of print.

    I haven't listened to A Man and his Dog for some time but doesn't it essentially just repeat two themes over and over again? (I know that some people love albums that do that, but it's not for me.)

    Yes.

    Those kinds of albums, as you might have guessed, are for me. (If the themes are good.)

    To each his own. I'd just listen to the two themes once and then move on to something else.

    Andes To Amazon - Nicholas Hooper

    This is the kind of score I really, really love,
    Beautiful, majestic, thoroughly thematic and melodic, with wonderful Peruvian and Brazilian ethnic touches.
    Of course the subject of this documentary lends itself to the most soaring and awe-inspiring kinds of music (I can just picture grand sweeping vistas of the mighty Amazon), but that doesn't diminish the wonder and reverent beauty in the execution of this lovely music one little bit.

    I'm utterly, thoroughly enjoying this enchanting score. And I feel like taking a major trip.
    Brazil would be good, I think.

    smile


    Brazil Schmil....Chile, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia....mountains, jungles, waterfalls, ancient ruins etc cool ( I say this because you already hit Brazil wink )

    And yeah, Hooper's 'Amazon' score is great, I thank our own Martin ( Tintin ) for turning me on to this. cool

    That must be why you hate Somewhere in Time so much.

    I've listened to the full Somewhere in Time album maybe twice in a decade, for this very reason. (And as good as Rombi may be - has he really come up with a Somewhere in Time-level theme yet?)

    I would say yes, definitely. (But then I'm not too keen on Barry.)

    Although I'm not entirely sure what Rombi has to do with Barry.

    Edit: Oh wait, Christopher mentioned Barry and repeating themes. Never mind.

  29. John Williams - Black Sunday

    What a quality score. The way Williams builds the suspense, how he intensifies the suspense based on a simple motif. This is structurally amazing. While it's sometimes a somewhat more difficult score and while the source cues are totally spoiling the atmosphere (while being nice and cool), this is an amazing achievement and I am glad that FSM released this score.

    I watched the movie. The score is re-edited as the liner notes say and I must say that sometimes it spoils the way the score works, not because Frankenheimer took the wrong pieces or something, the edits are sometimes simply jarring (going from Air Chase to Explosion for example). The movie itself is very good too, some of Shaw's lines (Blink for yes, die for no) are amazing, the action's handled very well, the humane treatment of the villains (the scene between Dern and Keller night before the attack is just priceless). VERY good movie, slightly forgotten though. And today nobody would make a thriller where a Mossad agent chases after a Palestinian terrorist and tries to thwart an attack plot. Not too PC anymore. Israel FTW (this time)

    I do not find a layered recording of precisely executed instrumental performances to be either cold or uninspired as an aesthetic. I like that I can hear the tension of the parallel ideas that normally get swamped in texture. But hey, I think he's the best thing to happen to film music in a long time. The recording is part of that.


    Southall wrote
    It's also part of the reason I like him so much.

    I agree as well. He has qualities in his sound and music that i'd characterize as a renewed, up to date take on the Golden Age of film music; in essence and core, the way music is used in the accompanying medium.



    On the other hand, I am seemingly the only person in the world who doesn't spontaneously ejaculate at the very mention of Philippe Rombi. So something must be wrong with me.

    I don't quite get the "i don't actually men he's overrated comment, Michael. What do you actually mean then 'cause forgive me but i can't get the word-play there smile And i am sure you know i wasn't the one who said Gordon was overrated, right?
