House of Sand and Fog - James Horner
I watched this last night just to remind myself of why I liked it so much, and sure enough, I found it an absolute masterpiece. And of course, the score is one of Horners's best just for the last 30 minutes alone. Truly an underrated gem...
I am a big fan of this score, granted it's not "beautiful" in terms of thematic material, but to me it's a rare case of a very heavy psychological drama which Horner did NOT emotionally overload, except the final 30 minutes of the album, but Vadim Perelman took the blame here for actually *having* music there.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Depends on how you see it, since it's they're not "songs" and they are instrumental, and done by a film composer, so...The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -

I really need to listen to it. I know one cue of it but ultimately this one passed under the radar, sparking no interest when the film came out and I've since ignored it. I'll be giving it a listen especially since the final 30 minutes are so good according to you guys."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

I actually felt that the music bolstered the final scenes of the film. It once again reinforced the fact that Horner is one of the best composers at writing intensely tragic pieces. -

WP: Atlantis - The Lost Empire - James Newton Howard
One of his most spectacular orchestral scores with a most energetic and dazzling section in the last half of the CD. Amazing use of choir in cues like The Crystal Chamber, and spectacular action cues like The Leviathan and Just Do It. Hoping for more epic awesomeness like this in The Last Airbender!

Atlantis is one of those scores I dismissed as uninteresting and didn't play it for many years until Erik suggested a playlist, I'm glad to say I was wrong and it's a darn fine score and yes, the latter half is where it really kicks ass.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Thank you for your kind comments and I'm glad you are enjoying the mix. I still have to create high res versions of EACH suite (all of those were edited using MP3's) and then create those covers. The covers are going to be fun because I'm going to try and make them look like a cassette cover. I actually have some blank cassette covers so I'm going to hand write the track names and times then scan them and create the CD art. Hopefully it looks good!

Awesome ! Looking forward to it.
I intend to keep this, burn a limited 3000 copies of it, print the covers you provide, and getting a shitload of money from anyone willing to buy a copy.
Just kidding...

A lot of people say that, but I like the first half just as much as the second. But they're different, I'll say that much. -

NP:Rambo III (goldsmith)
The action writting and the heroic theme are not so good like in the previous installment (wich still is my favourite of the saga) but Rambo III it's bigger and much more thematically rich and devoloped.
"another time" is a gorgeous reprise of the First Blood theme (wich is one of the best themes from Jerry), and "ill stay" it's a one of thie amazing suites that it's perfect to close a trilogy. -

NP: Total Recall - Jerry Goldsmith
There must be something to like about this score, since almost everyone else seems to think so. Trying yet again. At least I found the theme this time!
Was Playing: How To Train Your Dragon - John Powell
Recording issues aside...this is an amazing, fabulous work that sums up everything I love about Powell. It's also quite possibly his most thematically diverse work. The only other Powell score I can think of that has this many themes and motifs is X3. There are at least 6 in this score. And they are ALL interesting and enjoyable. Brilliance.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

Rhythms. If you have the expanded edition may I suggest you try to listen to only the tracks that were on the extremely well produced original release.
1. The Dream (03:33)
2. The Hologram (05:36)
3. The Big Jump (04:33)
4. The Mutant (03:16)
5. Clever Girl (04:31)
6. First Meeting (01:10)
7. The Treatment (05:30)
8. Where Am I? (03:56)
9. End of a Dream (05:45)
10. A New Life (02:23)

Every time I think about this score I can only think about the awful recording which turns me off from revisiting this score. I don't know if I will ever spin it again no matter how well written it is. Such a shame.

Finally!
You know, I had to try hard too.
The first listenings this bussy and complex action gave me headache. Even the main theme is not used very much in the whole score so....
But How I said after a lot of years, after listening a lot of scores, I came back to Total Recall and I enjoyed this BIG and LOUD brass composition. What I like most is the "mood": a futuristic, apocalyptic, symphonic, techno score
Anyway, if you want a heroic and melodic action score from Goldsmith, try with his kick ass score : Rambo : First Blood part II. -

Bad Boys - Mark Mancina
One of the best things Mancina ever wrote: fun comedic cues, original sound (back then it sure was, by now it's nostalgic), cool themes, and pulse pounding action (the main attraction). Give me this over any of the RC style action music of today, because this has actually melody and doesn't get on my nerves. I didn't get it at release, seeing I had a custom made version... But I figured that music that I enjoy ALWAYS warrants a purchase!"considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G.
