    NP: The Dark Hour - Alfons Conde

    Superb horror score from a very talent young up and coming composer. This is a mix of Penderecki's unconventional, avant-garde style, John Williams in Close Encounters/War of the Worlds mode and James Horner's Aliens. That's the best I can describe it. Angry, eerie, dissonant! However, about half way through there is a this gorgeous little melody that pops up - a lovely, gentle theme on the woodwinds. It doesn't stick around for long as it quickly get extinguished by the growls and roars of the brass section. Conde breaks from the horror scoring for a few more moments for a touching elegy heard in "Pablo's Funeral." A more fantastical theme is heard immediately afterward in "Judas Tells the Story" which then gets us back into the atmospheric horror scoring from the first part of the album. This is the type horror scoring that I absolutely adore! A perfect score for this time of the year! Check it out!

    Hmmm......interesting! Penderecki, dark, angry, dissonant! Love the description!
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  1. "Meeting Jenny" from Cousin Bette by Simon Boswell

    What a fantastic piece of music! It took me a long time to warm up to this album....actually, I still haven't, really. But some of it is better to me now than it used to be. "Meeting Jenny" took no time to warm up to, however. It's short, but what's there is magic.

    NIGEL HESS - ladies in Lavender

    Absolutely stunning orchestral beauty with breathtaking violin soli and surely one of the best scores ever composed; if you think i am exaggerating you simply haven't heard this yet.

    Indeed! What has Nigel Hess done since this? What has he done before it? If I'm not mistaken this is his only film score. Does anyone know if any of his other music is anywhere near as beautiful as this?

    NP Atonement (Dario Marianelli)

    I remember I became quite obsessed (in a good way) with this score when I watched the movie. Now I remember why. One of Marianelli's best efforts (along with Agora, IMO). Superb scoring.

    I'd guess he's a concert composer? It shows in his superb writing, absolutely mindblowing music.

    I'd not be surprised' it's one of the most enjoyable scores out there that simultaneously echoes to classical fans too ;got (gets) a lot of attention. Great work.

    And it's a great example of how to appeal to the younger generation and their "sound" without abandoning the traditional elements like a bold and recognizable theme.

  4. NP: The Big Country - Jerome Moross

    A lot of the time I forget to revisit some classic scores - and this is a classic. A score that evokes 100% the American west.

    I was listening to the original - the SAE version. I do not have the re-recording.

    NP: Wah-Wah - Patrick Doyle

    While most have been mightily impressed with Doyle's epic adventure sound as of late, I'm finding that his smaller, more intimate film scores of the past 5-10 years or so to be far more fascinating, more meaningful and more fulfilling. As You Like It, Nanny McPhee, and Nouvelle-France come to mind as well as this this lovely dramatic score for the 2005 film, Wah-Wah. Written mostly for piano and heavy strings this score stays mostly in a minor mode for much of its playing time until the soaring, lyrical, and mindblowing final track. As you listen can really feel that Doyle put his whole heart into this score. A very personal score for a composer that can almost do no wrong.

    Yes, I absolutely adore that score. Love the final two tracks, made all the more satisfying by the fact that the theme doesn't even show up until halfway through the album...rarely do you see such restraint.

    Such a stirring, heartfelt score; shame so few people know it; for me, it's his best, most emotional score to date and an absolute must-have for everyone.
