    ALBERTO IGLESIAS - Los abrazos rotos

    So much beauty in this man's craft, is impossible to be described with words. I am eagerly awaiting for his next work, "Monk", as Iglesias is one particularly unique voice of musical art in an otherwise noisy world.

    JAMES NEWTON HOWARD - unbreakable

    One excellent example of modern thriller scoring. Every single note in this score is there for a reason, full of meaning and there's moments (especially during the final act of the film) which breathe out pure beauty. It's not a secret that Shyamalan always brings the best out of Mr.Howard.

    The last cue of the film is probably one of the best finales I´ve ever watched.

    Daybreakers' main ideas just don't have much of a hook to them and come across as fairly generic. The 2 pieces that begin with the percussive assaults are daring enough but I think there's a lot of filler on that album - music that may work wonders in context but has little value outside the film.


    I don't have the musical vocabulary to explain why this statement is ridiculous. Someone of greater intelligence please help me!

    NP: The Film Music of Dmitri Shostakovich Vol. 2 - Dmitri Shostakovich
    The BBC Philharmonic conducted by Vassily Sinaisky

    I didn't really notice the opening The Golden Mountains suite but once Gadfly began I had to give it my undivided attention. A melo-dramatic, aggressive, passionate, heart wrenching, and deeply emotional score. Delicious themes and stunning string writing. And this is my very first taste of the famous "Romance" cue. That track was instantly put in "My Favorites" playlist. Brilliant string writing with rolling percussion.

    A few tracks later we get the showstopper "Scene. Moderato." This is the way I like my film music. Full bodied and larger than life! What a huge sound Sinaisky got out of the BBC Philharmonic!

    And "The Finale" All I can say is WOW! Blew me away! A strong march with a reprise of the theme from the Overture! From start to finished... this 45 minute suite is worth the price of this album! And the sound quality is an audiophile's wet dream. Stephen Rinker's recording is splendid.

    I know that Alexander Nevsky has received classic status and is one of the most influential film scores of all time but I find myself getting more out of Gadfly, emotionally, than I do from Alexander Nevsky. Gadfly, at least to me, is one of the best film scores ever composed! Superb music!

    Highly recommended!

    -Erik-


    And he didn't like writing for films!!! One of the great composers of the 20th century

  14. Apollo 13 - James Horner

    The promo. I only chose to play this after 'The House of Sand and Fog' had ended. You could say the sound inspired me, but no, I wanted to listen to the good old James, full of wonder and excitement, with just the right dose of emotion. The promo does the job.

    Fingers crossed Avatar 2 will sound more like Apollo 13 than Avatar.

    Yes, indeed. An amazing score to one of my all-time favorite films.
  16. You guys inspired me. Unbreakable is an AMAZING score.

    The Goonies - Dave Grusin

    Not one of my favourite composers but this is obviously one of Grusin's standout works and long overdue on CD. 79 minutes is a fair fill too after waiting all these years!! The 'Fratelli Chase' theme is obviously the standout piece but the whole score is amazingly well sustained over such a length. Even the moments with synths are well done. They augment the orchestra nicely and rather than sounding outdated and alienating prove to be surprisingly effective. It doesn't hurt that there's a strong element of nostalgia attached to this for anyone who saw the film growing up. smile

    I think there wasn't much more in the film either, mostly just variations of the album material repeated again. smile

    I love "Latika's Theme" and "Mausam & Escape".

    NP: Nanny McPhee & The Big Bang - James Newton Howard

    There's some nice music here, but far too much mickey-mousing and other aimless meandering. Howard seems to be very much on auto-pilot here, which is disappointing. Doyle did a much better job...though I haven't seen this new film, possibly the narrative structure is not as strong as the first one, whose cleanly layed-out and traditional plot surely helped Doyle plan a well-structured score. But that's not much of an excuse for JNH.

    I hope he was saving it all for Shyamalan!

    There's not anything one can really say about music like this, and generally Goldenthal's output; the man's craft speaks for itself. Outstanding.
