    NP: MINORITY REPORT (John Williams)

    Great action/thriller score with some smokin' ostinatos and soft piano themes. Almost like A.I.'s darker brother, if you will. I really don't play this enough.

    I love them both. My favorite Williams scores for my favorite Spielberg films...
  3. NP: Beauty Killed The Beast (Alternate II) - King Kong

    The chorus in the last minute is amazing. Why in the film and the original CD release was barely audible? It seems like it became a trend to make the choir mix so low that you can't listen to it. Like in DH Part 2.

    I haven't heard the Kostia piece before.


    I love the sound of piano (my favorite instrument) and "Winter Ride" is found on his 'Suite St. Petersburg" album. The piece could easily fit into a movie, especially during opening credits or some sort of montage (if it is possible to score a montage without wailing ethnic vocals). The entire album is all piano solos and some of the pieces are quite amazing. Kostia has some amazing finger dexterity!

    my best guesses would have that Out of Africa, Gabriel's oboe and the Cinema Paradiso love theme have the best chances of being recognized.


    I think that is very possible.

    Why not add the love theme from Romeo and Juliet? You can hear a bit of it in the Juliet track, but why not play the entire love theme?


    I haven't listened to the album in a while (even though it used to be one of my all time favorites) and was just skimming the tracks and picked those two. I'll have to give the love theme a listen again.

    Don't be too disappointed if no one comes up and talks about the music. In my dealings with non-film score fans (or "muggles" as I like to call them) they tend to disappoint in this area.


    Most likely will be the case. I think most people there are either going to be country music fans or classical music snobs. The groomsman I mentioned earlier, that plays violin in an orchestra, made fun of my soundtracks once! biggrin

    Hehe, I hope she approves of your music, and that she hasn't chosen awful dance music.


    She doesn't mind soundtracks, but she doesn't go out of her way to listen to them. wink We have chosen a lot of 80s pop music so far for the dance, but no dance music (we banned rap too!).

    She has already made a "Funeral" playlist for her own funeral, which is rather depressing and I don't want to know what she has put ot it as I'd never be able to enjoy them again. smile


    Haha...that's weird. I guess it's never too early to plan for your own funeral, but I think planning the will is probably more important! biggrin

    No doubt it's filled with Morricone.


    Morricone can be used for any and all occasions!

    32) Temptress Moon - Take for Granted "Farwell My Concubine" by City Prague Philharmonic

    City of Fear - Jerry Goldsmith

    This is just an astonishing release, one of the year's best so far. Though only 29 minutes long, each one is brilliantly constructed. Staggering to think that Goldsmith's genius was shining so brightly in just his second feature score way back in 1958. I'm totally in love with this. spin

    Indeed. It's very retro cool. And historically important to Goldsmith fans.

    I shall listen to that piece a few times more. If I fall for it, I shall check out the album.

    Hehe, it's only one of the most famous film music themes in history. tongue You really must familiarize yourself with it. You might even have some people recognize it. I can't tell the number of times I've heard it in comercials, documentaries and even when waiting on a queue on the phone.

    Good choices. Rap is the last thing I'd expect at a wedding, well that, and Marilyn Manson.

    It's interesting how some of this score foreshadows Zimmer's The Thin Red Line and some of it foreshadows Horner's The New World. Is there really a Terrence Malick sound?

    Knowing you, you'd probably prefer the shorter release though. The FSM release would annoy you. Try to find the release where "Two mules for Sister Sara" is combined with "Days of Heaven". A very odd match but both are excellent scores.

    Talking about dissonance, "Days of heaven" is practially free of it. You probably wouldn't like "The chase", but the tension track called "The fire" I think is a fascinating piece. All the other tracks are melodic, peaceful and beautiful.

    Perhaps. It certainly has a unique feel, unlike any other Morricone score.

  16. Desplat's Tree of Life also features similar moments to Zimmer's The Thin Red Line.

    It's worth exploring for sure.

    It's one of my very favourites.....of any composer. As to whether it's his "best" depends on what criteria you base that on.

    NP: THE MISSOURI BREAKS (John Williams)

    Twangy Americana stuff. It's pretty good, actually, in its down-and-dirty grittiness. I love Williams scores that go outside the neo-classical.

  23. I hated that score in the film, to be honest, never got around to listen to it outside.

    It worked fine in the film, IMO, but is an even better listen alone. If you like that kind of twangy hillbilly stuff with an occasional experimental twist, that is.

  28. NP: Tambien la Luvia (Alberto Iglesias)

    It's a big year for Iglesias, between this and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
    Tambien can probably be best described as 'textural quivering'. He and Desplat have an interesting take on minimalism, both serve films very well.

    This is a difficult score for me to enjoy though there are some nice (though not in the nice as in happy) string passages.
