[Closed] Now Playing XXXIX

I love "barbastella" with bruce Wayne's theme played with piano. I think it's really soft and touching. I like "talarida" with batman's theme played as a lament over the bat flaps. And Of course Molossus is a guilty pleasure.

But this is my biggest scores dissapointment of all time (Pearl Harbor and Dead Man's chest are the second and the third biggest dissapointments too).

I was playing: Fast Five. (Tyler)

I think it's a much more balanced album than Battle LA. But again it's too long.

I'm addicted to the 4 notes action motife. I think it's really energic. the 2 big action cues are great to going to run .

NP: First Knight (Goldsmith)
La La records realease.

I don't know why they have to realease a score wich everyone already had the complete unofficial release.
Anyway....It's my favourite Goldsmith aventure/epic score!!!

Lancelot's Fanfarre just RULlllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

I will play next : Thor (Doyle)

Another long realease.

I always had problems finishin Doyle's epic scores because they are too loud. now we have this lyrical sensibilities with a much average orchestral pallette. It's cool. :P

"thor kills the destroyer" it's an amazing actuin cue.

NP: SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (John Williams)

I used to find this boring. With my new change of preference, this is really good stuff. OK, so some of the suspense writing isn't the most exciting, but all those solo brass counter melodies in Americana mode, with those ethereal strings underneath. Nice.

Oddly enough I wasn't taken with this score for a long time too ( for different reasons ), now I absolutely love it, quite a restrained score from Williams.

Mary, Queen of Scots - John Barry

Stunningly beautiful.

One of my favourites, includes superb use of the 'dreaded by many' bagpipes.

Breakout - Jerry Goldsmith

Underrated, action-packed, Mexican-flavoured.

NP: Tree of Life (Desplat)

The first half of this album really is something. But perhaps it peaks too early? The second half has some beautiful things, 'fatherhood', 'motherhood', and 'city of glass'. But some of the longer setpieces like 'light and darkness' and 'temptation' don't really excite, even though desplat remains texturally interesting in just about anything he does. When you compare to some of the connective underscore in Zimmer's or Horner's previous scores for Malick, this probably leans more on atmosphere than melody in these cues. It would have been nice to have another longer form setpiece along the lines of 'Circles' - perhaps even a bit more melodically-driven - coming late in the album. (Then again, knowing Malick, we're probably missing a classical piece or two that will shake up the listening experience quite a bit.)

Why not see it as a push for a Trump presidential while you're at it?

Angels in the Outfield - Randy Edelman

Doing his usual thing, one of the themes is a precursor to Gettysburg, but it's a reasonably enjoyable score high on fluffy and fun.

NP: Dumbledore's Farewell - Half-Blood Prince (Nicholas hooper)

Besides Farewell to Dobby and A Window To The Past, this is the saddest HP cue. The cello in this one is heartbreaking.

Also, it has been used as a temp track in DH part 2's test screening in Chicago, during one major death scene. Nice to know that Hooper is finally getting some recognition.

Probably didn't pay for it either... (sorry jordi, correct me if i'm wrong)

IT IS DOYLE AT HIS FINEST !!!!

I didn't own the complete unofficial release. I'm beyond happy with this new Lalaland album. So yeah Jordi's way off the mark.

If it helps, I really like "Non Nobis Domine".

If it's made by the person I'm thinking of ( over at FSM ) then it's a fantastic 2CD set, far better than any Mancini compilation available publicly and lovingly packaged together too.
