    Secret of the Sahara - Ennio Morricone

    First listen...


    I'll be interested to know what you think of this one, it's a favourite of mine.


    I think I need another listen to think about it. I'll tell you in a year or so.


    Dismissed it already eh!? rolleyes


    Indeed, that's a bit quick. Zimmer used "Kerim" in "Gladiator" and Tarantino used "The mountain" in "Inglorious basterds" so obviously others find something noteworthy in this score.

    The main theme, the two "dedications" and the beautiful love theme "Miriam an Philip" are well worth to listen to as well.

    Of course for some people slow=boring, so not surprising it will be dismissed undeservedly from time to time.

    Seriously? Sahara is one of his most beautiful scores, moving and mesmerizing.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    THE PRINCE OF EGYPT - HANS ZIMMER & STEPHEN SCHWARTZ

    Undeniably one of Hans' very best with tremendous song writing by Stephen Schwartz that complement the score in every sense. The music is incredibly heartfelt one time, very uplifting another time, and it never fails to capture the feeling that I'm listening to genuine film music magic, of the kind that doesn't come along very often anymore. As I'm writing this 'The Burning Bush' is playing and this is without a doubt one of Zimmer's top compositions, so rich in emotion and melody that I'm always crying my eyes out... Of course the songs are just as great and tell the story in superb musical form, and they're always inspiring and powerful. There's hardly a track that goes by where I'm not feeling some sort of emotion. The Prince of Egypt remains top 5 Zimmer for me and here's hoping he writes something as emotionally stirring again in the near future.


    Entire album = punk <- this has been mathematically proved

    No, it's just I don't listen to the same score more than once a month or so, and I'm in no rush to get to it. I would give it 3.5 stars.

    ^ That's a bit odd. While I can understand that some scores only warrant only one listen it would be recommended to give a score that you HAVEN'T heard before a few spins within a few days to make sure you soak it all in.

    And I have to check out Iron Will and Lover's Prayer, never heard them.


    Steer clear of Iron Will, unless you like big sweeping themes, top notch action/adventure music, a couple race-to-the-finish-line cues that are 100% exhilarating, and double in-your-face finale to top it all off.

    You know those times when you buy a score based entirely on someone else's recommendation and find yourself blown away by all kinds of awesomeness, and you thank your lucky stars that you took a chance on it? That's what happened to me when I bought this score.

    (Thanks for recommending it so convincingly a while back, Erik)

    Word. I usually give a new acquisition 5 spins before I put it on the shelf. It's funny how often a score that really blew me away (or failed to) on the first listen ends up doing the opposite after five.

    How can you kill it by listening to it a few more times. We aren't asking you to listen to it 100 times repeated for the next 5 days. Give the score a few more chances before you file it away.

    Incredible to think it but this is my first listen since the few months following its release. Despite this obvious neglect, I do like it. A lot.

  16. NP: Charlie Brown - Vince Guaraldi

    I always get a lift when I hear Guaraldi's jazzy music for a great cartoon series. The 6-minute suite "Red Baron" is a great example of what you get from one of his Charlie Brown scores.
    cool

    yeah

    I can understand not wanting to "kill it by over-listening", this is something I do with all my favourite albums where I'll "retire" the Conan's, the Star Trek's, The James Bond's etc for a few months but when it comes to something I haven't heard before I need to give it a number of listens to get my head around it, I couldn't give any score a star rating based on just one listen.

    But you must be able to form some immediate opinion? Just give that a score between 0 and 5? wink

    Initially? Yes, of course! And there'll ( hopefully? ) always be those scores, Star Trek TMP for example, where on first listening it totally blows your socks off but as I'm sure everyone here has experienced, there are those scores that don't make much of an impression on first listening that can later become personal favourites!? John Barry's THE LION IN WINTER is my own most extreme example, I hated it on first listen and didn't play it again for years, now, as you know, it's in my top ten film scores of all time.

    Elmer Bernstein's jazz score Staccato is definitely worth a listen.

    This isn't one of my most listened to scores, and I doubt it will ever top Titanic in that area, but hearing the score in the film a few times now, I've grown to like it more too, after my initial disappointing first listens.

    I've been on a McNeely binge after we discussed him earlier. LOVER'S PRAYER, SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE and now working my way through these four discs. Great stuff!

    This was my most-played album of 2010 and will probably be my most-played of 2011 too. I've probably already listened to it more than Titanic.

    Both are exceptionally good albums but for me they'd both need a lot more plays before they even got close to KRULL.
