James Newton Howard - Defiance
Except all the Shyamalan stuff, this is some of very best James Newton Howard material in last decade, I think. Very moving score and a beautiful theme. The action music, if it appears, is not too shabby either, though not as desperate as JNH can be.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

NP: Body Heat - John Barry
Joel McNeely conducting the London Symphony Orchestra
I should have saved this one for a dark and stormy night but there really is never a bad time to play this brilliant, erotic, smooth jazz score!

Alexandre Desplat - New Moon
I love this guy. The first piece is one of his very best. The rest of the score is great too. My favorite moment is actually The Cullens.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

That score is stunning, and from what it seems, it will outshine all other 2 scores of the franchise, by far.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Tim, which do you prefer - the re-recording or Barry's original? I've heard that Barry's biggest fans somehow don't like McNeely's re-recording?
I am a huge fan of Debney's version of Somewhere in Time, though I also adore the original.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Speaking as the second biggest Barry fan on the forum, I personally think the McNeely recording is vastly preferable to the original recording - there's something really odd with the mixing on that, I think. Whether it's inherent in the recording itself or something to do with the CD mastering, I'm not clever enough to know. -

Pawel, I agree with James. I've read somewhere that Barry wasn't happy with the mix John Lasseter put out, perhaps one day we'll get a deluxe remixed treatment.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I love this mix of Broken Arrow and basic Instinct.
Mancina came up with some really nice scores.
"Bitter Suite" is really cool. -

NP: The Luzhin Defence - Alexandre Desplat
First listen... the main theme is really gorgeous! I love the piano riffs with supporting violins. -

NP: The Ghost Writer - Alexandre Desplat
Not bad... but nothing really extraordinary with the exception of the fabulous open track and "Chase on a Ferry." This sounds more like a quirky Elfman however the Desplat signature style is indeed all over this score. The score probably works wonders in the movie but as a stand alone listen I can do without it.

Have you seen the movie? Very good, mature one btw. The music fits the movie perfectly.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -
- CommentTimeJun 30th 2010 edited
No I haven't... but I want to. I really like the quirky main theme! And "The Truth About Ruth" is a fantastic closer! Great slow building cue where Desplat, for only a few minutes, finally comes out of his shell and lets loose! Very nice... but it still doesn't make up for the rest of the score... but it's not as bad as some others that I've heard.
EDIT - Now that I'm done with it, I REALLY want to see the film to hear the score in context! That could be the deal breaker right there because this one is actually teetering on the edge of me tossing it or giving it a few more spins to soak in.

NP: The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep - James Newton Howard
I'm a sucker for Celtic themed scores. Howard sets the tone and place right away and then blows you away with a classic action finale and fantastic end credit suite! An over-looked gem!

Papillon - Jerry Goldsmith
It's lovely indeed, thanks the absolutely wonderful main theme. But I don't hold it in the highest esteem as some other people. Jerry wrote much worse, but also much better scores. It's very good, but I'd never take it to an island if I could pick 20 Goldsmith scores."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. -
