    NP : INTO THIN AIR - Lee Holdridge



    Fantastic symphonic score, considering it's for a TV movie it puts a lot if not most modern cinematic scoring to shame.

  2. How would you say -- if you've heard it -- it is in comparrison to his fantastic score to "In Search of Peace"?



    Copied & pasted from the previous thread, so it isn't lost:

    Aurora Borealis - Mark Painter

    Remarkable work, really - would be interested in hearing the much-vaunted second volume but can't find it anywhere.


    I can't find anything on this with an internet search for:

    "Aurora Borealis" "Mark Painter"


    Is the name misspelt? Is this some obscure instrumental work?

  3. Composer's full name is John Mark Painter but I could find no reference to this score at all when I searched the other day.

    The only Aurora Borealis score that I know of was composed by Mychael Danna in 2005.

    It's not the easiest one to find.

    Caboblanco - Jerry Goldsmith

    The opening cue is pure dynamite, 100% Goldsmith magnificence. Not sure I'll listen to the rest (I rarely do).

    Portrait of a Lady - Wojciech Kilar

    I get as much enjoyment from my thousandth listen to this as I did from my first. It is one of my desert island discs, one of my very favourite albums. It is an OBRA MAESTRA.

    WP: Rio - John Powell

    Kinda generic, but still a nice little score with cool Brazilian influences. Powell shows great skill at orchestral writing again, especially in cues like Bird Fight and Rio Airport, and I'm glad the recording/mixing here is so much better than HTTYD. Looking forward to hear how the music works in the movie.
  11. If this thread replaces "Now Playing XXXVIII" then the number needs to be amended to XXXIX rather than "XXXIV"?

    Karol Part 1 - Ennio Morricone

    Surprisingly disappointing, the score can be very unfocused through its somewhat overbearing melodrama to its Untouchables like comedic parts. I hope Part 2 is much better.

    Strange that you find it disappointing. In any case, I advice for you to stay away from the score to the second movie. It has a nice new theme, but overall I find it very depressing and heavy to get through.

    Yeah, this is what MASTERPIECE means.

    Yesterday, on a long drive, I entertained myself with...

    MURDER IN THE FIRST (Young) -- We covered my thoughts on this yesterday.

    DRESSED TO KILL (Donaggio) -- there's a kind of Europop thing mixed with Herrmann that lies at the heart of Donaggio's music. Pretty entertaining, but I think the summary albums of Donaggio probably make for a more varied listening experience than trying to swallow the score whole. The cue 'The Museum' is a classic of film scoring, and the scene it accompanies is stylish filmmaking at its best.

    ORCHESTRAL HIGHLIGHTS (Wagner) -- I wanted power. I wanted to get to the 'Funeral of Siegfried' and feel the power of it. This was a Naxos disc, obviously not a film score, but I think a lot of film music people would enjoy this.

    ON THE BEACH (Gordon) -- About the only currently working composer that you could play after Wagner, without embarrassment to the art of film scoring. What a score. Opportunity has decreed that this is his masterpiece to date, so I'm glad he took the opportunity while he had it. This could have been a forgettable telemovie score that nobody would have ever thought of again.

    MAX MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME (Jarre) -- And here we run into interesting diversions from popular thinking. This was James Fitzpatrick's new recording for Tadlow. I'd never heard this score before, beyond suites on Jarre compilations. Now I get to hear it all, and I've got to be honest, but this doesn't work for me at all. A blend of saxophone, digeridoo, electronics a la Jarre, with regular appearances by that fanfare which -- to be honest -- isn't that good. This isn't for me. I'll do due diligence and play disc 2 tomorrow, but I don't understand the reputation. Timmer, perhaps you can enlighten me. smile

  16. No, that was from found masters -- they had been previously lost. No new recording for that Jarre.

    Just trying to digest Edward Artemyev's score to the 1972 version of Solaris. So far, it's been quite undigestable! I gave up quite early on but want to revisit it at some point.

    There you go. I thought it was also one of their less interesting re-recordings of recent times too, but if it was an original recording, that explains much. This would explain why they seemed a little off form -- it wasn't them.

    The Terminal - John Williams

    A wonderful romantic comedy/drama score, one of Williams's better scores of the 2000s. The standard memorable main theme for Viktor is supported by the various other themes (the romance theme is particularly engaging). The album is probably a bit too long at 58 minutes, but the score is good enough for that weakness not to be too much of a bother.

    I think The Terminal is a superb album and a fabulous score.

    NP: Ememy at the Gates: Suite - James Horner

    I'm making panckaes for the kids and while doing so I have all of my edited suites playing on shuffle. I'm currently spinning my epic 18 minute suite from Horner's Enemy at the Gates where I did my best not to include any of the terrible 4-note danger motif in its original form (variations of it during the action material I didn't mind so much.) I think Horner's score is very good however I wish he didn't score the opening scene and the 4-note danger motif ruins the album for me. Thank God for Adobe Audition. wink

    NP: Water for Elephants - James Newton Howard

    First listen. So far I'm very impressed! It has the magical feeling that I want. Unfortunately the jazz music and source cues are kinda annoying.

    NP: Chronicles of Narnia 3 (David Arnold)

    In my home cinema this sounds really amazing.

    It's curios how a same composer with the same orchestral pallete can sound better or worst . If I play Stargate or Casino Royale it sounds horrible in my home cinema...too many lows.

    Cefalonia - Ennio Morricone

    I remember raving about this when it came out, whenever that was, but I've given it short shrift since. A pity, because it's very, very good.

    Edge of Darkness - Howard Shore

    Rather subdued, but with some angry brass outbursts to emphasise dramatic moments.

    The film itself boasts unintelligible dialogue and a slightly crazy performance from Mel Gibson. Probably best to stick to the original TV series!
