    NP: ANGELS IN AMERICA - THOMAS NEWMAN

    I'll never tire of this one, it's absolutely superb. His best, IMO. Fantastic recording as well - the strings on Bayeaux Tapestry blow me away every time. So crisp and detailed.

    cool

    WP: Mars Needs Moms - John Powell

    Somewhat generic in parts, bits of temp tracking here and there, but overall a very fun orchestral score with very apt integration of synths. The quieter tracks like The Sacrifice are lovely too. Shame it's a download-only release. Powell is in top form, can't wait for Rio. cool

    After ROAD TO PERDITION, i'd say that this along with American Beauty, Shawshank Redemption and Cinderella man are his best scores to date indeed.

    Fun score but whoever established Mars-related topics to be scored with the friggin Theremin should be shot. (was that Elfman?)

    Just out of interest, can anyone think of a score where the inclusion of some dialogue was a bonus?

    I always play All Systems Go when I want to hear The Launch from Apollo 13. In that case I think it is a bonus and adds something to the music (especially how those tracks flow into eachother).

    Of course I would have hated it if they had put the dialogue where it is in the film, somewhere in that track The Launch, so a very good thing they separated it!

    Maybe technically not dialogue, but I enjoy the songs (Pippin, Aragorn, Bilbo) in Return to the King. It is sort of dialogue, because those are spoken/sung lines in the movie.

    ALEXANDRE DESPLAT - largo winch 2

    The calmer, more dramatic parts like The conspiracy, Malunai, The Massacre of Kai Pu, or the gorgeous "Escape from the camp" and "Largo's sorrow" are the highlights for me. I also enjoyed the brief re-appearance of the main theme from the previous movie, in "getting closer".

    I thought stuff like The Conspiracy was complete drone. sleep

    I've taken a few action cues and stuck them in the original Largo Winch playlist.

    Drone? Not for me sir smile The action cues are standard Desplat but enjoyable, or the tension-building 'the Fracken' cue for instance with the Birth-ish bass line. I think i like this score more than the first one 'cause it contains more dramatic material. "Bathroom fight" or "Helicopter fight" are some nice kick-ass ostinati-led action cues for example.

    NP: Mars needs Moms (Powell)

    First listen... the main theme is soooooooo...close to the Shrek (deep blue sea) one...

    Anyway another fun to listen Powell orchestral score.


    I hear no Shrek whatsoever. Dawn Of The Dinosaurs (Rescues) yes.

    Nigel Westlake's Babe comes to mind, your explanation sums it up pretty well. The music is so good, it feels like a rape whenever dialogue (and sound effects) show up. vomit

    On some occasions it's not awful though. I like Robert Carlyle's talking on Angela's Ashes.

    One of my favourite Poledouris scores which has a fantastic theme !

    indeed, fantastic score, but I adore the Intrada version more. The Prometheus album is too long, and it delivers too many action theme statements, making it less exciting near the end

    but what a catchy theme


    Yep another expanded album that doesn't quite do what the original does: provide enough excitement to keep me from dozing off. Luckily the album is filled with enough memorable cues.

    NP: BLACK BEAUTY (Danny Elfman)

    Some wild dissonance here and there, but mostly beautiful, melancholic, slightly Gaelic melodies.
    I am extremely serious.

    There's no track called 'Launch Control' on the album, nor the promo.

    I will add to that list Meet Joe Black and The Horse Whisperer

    NP: Blood Diamond - James Newton Howard

    A favorite score of mine from JNH, I'm glad that Edward Zwick choose him for this movie, they are developing a great collaboration, JNH scored three of his movies.

    The "dialogue" in the Rings movies I wouldn't count, they are integral to the score.

    I agree with you on the snippets in APOLLO 13 but, as you say Bregje, it doesn't interfere with the music.

    NOPE! Elfman's is a nod to 1950's sci-fi films, a homage to the style of that era, I suspect ( without any knowledge of the film at all ) that Powell's is too.

  24. MEDAL OF HONOR: UNDERGROUND - MICHAEL GIACCHINO

    For a long time this was my least favourite of the MOH scores. Maybe because it's a tad darker than the other ones. However the soundtrack truly shines where all the others do too: the action music and use of themes are second to none. But I still prefer the first MOH, which is an action masterpiece, and Frontline, which is also incredibly emotional at times.

    Hmmmmm? I figured there's a reason you're insisting on track 7 so I just briefly skimmed through the tracks, you're correct, LAUNCH CONTROL does start on track 8 with the music coming in at track 9 and yet the album states it's all on track 7.

    We're both right!

  29. It's funny listening to some of the tracks on MovieScore Media's releases of Chris Ridenhour's music to various "mockbusters" and listening out to the similarities (or otherwise) to the better known blockbusters of a similar name.

    biggrin

    Some of it is quite good stuff - though I wish they were not done as suites. Sometimes 20 minutes straight is just a little too much on the ears.

    Any chance of a breakdown of the suites Mikael?
