Never Let Me Go - Rachel Portman
Thanks to those who recommended this. It's instantly become my favourite Portman score. Very beautiful, strong emotion, very moving music. -

Tron: Legacy
I just can't get enough of this, I can't count how many times I've played it this week. To me this is the greatest mix of electronics and orchestra ever concocted. The synth stuff is great, the orchestra even better and the join between them seamless!

PLEASANTVILLE - RANDY NEWMAN
Enchanting and wonderful music for a remarkable film! At only 31 minutes, this is a superb listen, it's been way too long and in the past I never gave this score the credit it deserves.
Just finished up listening to this, it's brilliantly melodic and shamelessly emotional music, I love it and I haven't listened to it in years. That's one of my favourite things about this forum and this thread in particular, when it inspires me to pull off the shelf and listen to a terrific cd that's been gathering dust for too long! -

84 Charing Cross Road - George Fenton
I'm undecided about this score, on the one hand it's very nice to listen to, on the other hand it's rather unmemorable.Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

This was just magnificent in the film, too. I wish Newman could score a dramatic film again, he was so good at it. -

The Ninth Gate - Wojciech Kilar
On album, this score (though highly praised), comes across as a bit repetitive and somewhat of an awkward mix of religious horror and bumbling comedy.Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

but I've heard 2000 scores in my life, then I know exactly what's interesting and what's not
Well, I've only heard about 800, but I was just starting out when your review site already had hundreds of reviews...I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

Cherry 2000 - Basil Poledouris
Another disappointment on the day, after my rather high expectations after reading several reviews highly praising it, the score didn't really deliver on my expectations. Basil's done better westerns than this.Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

I think Cherry 2000 is a fabulous score!

Firewall - Alexandre Desplat
It's not bad but I wonder what John Powell would have done (considering the subject matter).
I've run into a streak of mediocre lately with these disappointing scores:
-Agora (Dario Marianelli)
-Dreamer (John Debney)
-Children of Men (John Tavener)
-Cherry 2000 (Basil Poledouris)
-Airport (Alfred Newman)
-An Unfinished Life (Christopher Young)
-The Man Who Knew Too Little (Christopher Young)
-Tangled (Alan Menken)
-The Ninth Gate (Wojciech Kilar)
-The Count of Monte Cristo (Edward Shearmur)
-The Boy Who Could Fly (Bruce Broughton)
-Notes on a Scandal (Philip Glass)
-I Want to be a Shellfish (Joe Hisaishi)
-The Ghost and the Darkness (Jerry Goldsmith)Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

I've been in the mood for grand, pure orchestral scores lately and this one is a real favourite when it comes to that category. The rousing main theme, especially in the End Credits, so apty captures the spirit of heroism. -

I didn't listened the full score, but the piece Fragments Of A Prayer is amazing. It was perfect for the darkness and desolation of Cuaron's film. -

-Agora (Dario Marianelli) <-- This is superb!
-Dreamer (John Debney) <-- Ordinary Debney melodrama.
-Children of Men (John Tavener) <-- All classical music. It might not be your cup of tea and I respect that.
-Cherry 2000 (Basil Poledouris) <-- Dynamite!
-Airport (Alfred Newman) <-- goodness gracious... this is a wicked score. Killer title music!
-An Unfinished Life (Christopher Young) <-- Calm, soothing... what exactly were you expecting?
-The Man Who Knew Too Little (Christopher Young) <-- Delightful jazz score.
-Tangled (Alan Menken) <-- One of the best scores of 2010
-The Ninth Gate (Wojciech Kilar) <-- Incredibly dark and very well written.
-The Count of Monte Cristo (Edward Shearmur) <-- One of Shearmur's finest efforts and one of the best scores written in 2002! Great end title cue!
-The Boy Who Could Fly (Bruce Broughton) <-- You are off your rocker, my friend! Bloody brilliant score with an ifectious and highly memorable main theme!
-Notes on a Scandal (Philip Glass) <-- Not a huge fan of Glass.
-I Want to be a Shellfish (Joe Hisaishi) <-- Hisaishi rarely writes anything bad and this isn't one of them.
-The Ghost and the Darkness (Jerry Goldsmith) <-- Great score that transports you to Africa and has a definite emotional backbone!

A bit of a mixed bag this afternoon. Listening to a few tracks from A.R. Rahman's score for 127 Hours - I like the emphasis on guitar he uses - and a couple of scores from Les Baxter: Goliath and The Barbarians and Black Sunday.
I'm really liking the horror sound of Black Sunday (aka Revenge of The Vampire).The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

I absolutely fell in love with it once it was released. Heartfelt, mesmerizing and melancholic. It fits the movie, imo and elevates it but it's a problematic film, imo. Many people thought the music wasn't suitable for the movie, for what i remember.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I've never liked this score, it's big, loud, bombastic, patriotic, yes! I just don't like the themes.

Whatever you guys think of ID4, the film and score, I love both and I'll watch the film until I die!
Or aliens invade our planet.
And what's wrong with the themes? They're fiendishly memorable... That should be enough to like em no?"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.
