  1. HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS - JAMES HORNER

    This is for me the penultimate Horner sound, the one I grew up with, the one I will always love most until my I lay my bones to rest. This score is 200 % fun and I'm glad I am alive to be listening to it again and again. In fact I want to listen to his 80s scores more than anything else.

    Sure Honey's far from original but see if I care! tongue

    It's good, but the latter 2/3 of the album suck.


    I think the lack of a real orchestra in those 2/3 was its greatest deficit.


    About Killzone 3, I assume those tracks without orchestra are looping endlessly within the game, solely functioning as background for the ingame action, just as it did in Killzone 2. The orchestral pieces only appear during the cutscenes. Oh well, looks like there's at least 30 minutes of purely orchestral cues, so I'm happy.

    And I still haven't heard anything else than the main theme, which I like a lot.


    That main theme is great. I didn't know that he was a fellow Violinist as well. Track 13 "Stahl Almost Gets Away" is excellent.


    And those loops are still pretty good though. Again, if you like KZ2, you'll enjoy KZ3.


    Not a fan of those synthesized cues, it's almost from another game score in all honesty.

    Can't wait to sink my teeth into the game soon.

  3. Gilles, what's your opinion on Commando?

    I love the use of steel drum. I passed on it when it came out but have heard it more recently. It's a bit too synth drummy for my taste so selective track listening is the order of the day for me with this one.

    Zimmer ghostwrote a bit of TF 2, but has *nothing* to do with NEST.


    Oh...really??? then Nick. :P

    We need the complete score. A lot of cool electric guitars not in the album. I hope someday....

    Can you believe I've never been interested in it. I've seen the film as a kid, know the music, but to this day that particular style, like with 48 Hours, isn't one of my preferred. I never even heard the bootleg.

    I should've said: I want to listen to 90 % of his 80s scores more than anything else. smile

    I've always wanted to check out this adventure score by Angel. Is it swashbuckling or is it his usual melancholy, Delerue-ian themes?
    I am extremely serious.

    NP: BASIC INSTINCT (Jerry Goldsmith)

    The ol' Varese release, which is more than sufficient for me. Great, sleazy score that became immensely influential at the time.
    I am extremely serious.

  14. Killzone 3 - Joris De Man

    First listen. The orchestral tracks (1-13) are not at all bad, but rely a bit too much on the old mickey-mousing technique. I would've loved a more consistent approach, which was the case in Killzone 2. The use of the theme from Killzone 2 is much appreciated and keeps me interested in this mini-score. I will keep listening to see whether it'll grow on me, which it could.

    The ingame cues which follow from track 14, the remaining 66 per cent, aren't as good.

  15. NP: Finish Her Off! - Doomsday

    I like the chorus and the brass in this one.

    Yeap, killzone 3 surely let me down; or should i say the hype around it did? Anyway.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  17. Tale of Despereaux - William Ross

    First listen, sort of. I kind of heard it once before, but I wasn't really paying attention. It seems pretty good so far. The orchestration is very nice (McKenzie).

    NP: PHENOMENON - THOMAS NEWMAN

    Christ I wish this was in better sound quality. Gorgeous score, it's such a shame. Hope it gets a proper release some day.

    Absolutely...I caught myself humming the main theme to it a couple days ago.

    Preparing for a very large test in the morning. This means lots of listening, and evidently lots of Williams as well...

    E.T. (Anniversary Edition)- John Williams (a few times through)
    Jurassic Park- John Williams (a few times through)
    The Lost World- John Williams (a few times through)
    Jaws (Expanded Release)- John Williams (a few times through)
    Jaws (Original Soundtrack)- John Williams (a few times through)
    Sort of in a repetitive mood here. Whatever seems to be working I'll stick with for a while.

    Tomorrow Never Dies (Expanded Release)- David Arnold
    Just Visiting- John Powell
    Adventures of Baron Munchausen- Michael Kamen
    Munchen- Yann Tiersen
    Music Planet 2night- Yann Tiersen and the Gotan Project
    Mary Queen of Scots- John Barry (Isolated DVD Score. I always enjoy this one. I need to listen to it more.)

    Add The Edge La-La Release to the list. This is one of my favorites (along with favorite movies), and even after a month I'm still excited about this special complete release. A well deserving score. I was glad to hear they still had copies left when I finally heard about it. Haha, I think I was enjoying some hand thearpy when this one was released last year. beer

    NP: Clash of the Titans (2CD) - Laurence Rosenthal

    I can't believe how much extra music there is on this Intrada release!
    A really enjoyable score filled with thematic adventure!
    Maybe not for everyone but I certainly enjoy this more than the revamp score.

    I see. Not too sure about the 'more action' bit. As you know, I'm more into the calmer stuff these days. smile

  29. I always prefer the first over the second, because Mask doesn't have one track I wouldn't like on the album, Legend however does have some, yet it's still good fun. Legend of Zorro ends in glorious Horner fashion btw.
