Aside from hints of past McKenzie, there's a hint of Morricone in there I think (when he's in his religious mode) and even just a shade of James Horner. I think it's the most beautiful film score I've heard in a long time. -

Maybe not his favourite, but certainly his most magical to my ears. Even though that theme is repeated a lot it never gets tiring, and the bits in between the theme some of his most inspired.

I really enjoy it. Thost first two tracks are outstanding. I don't think he gets back to those heights until tracks 12 and 14, but there is some great stuff there. I've liked it more and more with each listen. I wrote a review of the score, which I will post in the McKenzie thread if anyone is interested. -

Warlock: The Armageddon - Mark McKenzie
This is a good score by one of the more forgotten composers in the film music world. It was an early entry in Mark McKenzie's career, and he had to endure significant problems during the recording to get the music recorded. It's not really a full blown horror score in the vein of Hellraiser I & II (which I find are two of the more overrated scores of Christopher Young's career and horror scores in general) but it definitely has some horror parts (with help from Young & Goldsmith), channeling Dies Irae through the choir. Contrasting the horror parts, is the love theme and the heroic Druid theme are the highlights of the score, the heroic theme, with the supporting trumpets, not being far away from The Rocketeer (which was written after). Beware of the sound quality, because it was literally recorded in a warehouse. But however, you should seek out this score if you like horror & dramatic scores and you are a Mark McKenzie fan.Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

True there isn't too much more music (in film). But if the expanded bootleg is anything to go by there is plenty left off. Even if much of it was unused in the final cut. -

Yup, I think it's fine the way it is. Beyond the choral main theme piece, there isn't really that much interesting stuff, not even on the CD. Lots of synth noodling and suspense cues.I am extremely serious. -

Agree on the 30 minute album: sometimes these work better than longwinded expanded releases. But to name another Poledouris which must be released complete at one point or another: Starship Troopers, one of his best scores IMO."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. -

Indeed. Not one of my favourites. The only track I like is the choral opening (basically by Prokofiev anyway, isn't it?) -

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON - JOHN POWELL
First listen outside of the film, and I have to say, not even this one will turn me into a Powell-fan. I've never been one, I like a cue here, a cue there from a select bunch of scores by him, but most of the time I find his style of composing immensely irritating. It's always so busy, so chaotic, so all over the place and I've never been able to connect to his music because of that.
This score has a few good tracks, but overall it gets on my nerves. Now that I think of it, the only Powells I have and remotely enjoy are Chicken Run & Face/Off. This won't be added to them. Sorry to all those who love this score but I don't."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. -

Very enjoyable, the kind of fluffy action score you wouldn't expect to hear from him.
Now playing: Concerto for Guitar - Elmer Bernstein
One of the most beautiful things he ever wrote.
