Yes, it really does sound like A SINGLE MAN, vol. 2 at times (only with more piano over strings), but that's probably also why I like it so much. I love Korzeniowski in that style.I am extremely serious. -

It's very nice, but very frustrating to be reminded of other works in nearly every track.
I'll go a step further. It's the LAIR of romantic film scores.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Hideaways - Eric Neveux
Wow, this is nice. One for fans of the Rachel Portman sound - it doesn't quite have her melodic sense, but has a bit of an edge to it which compensates for that. -

I'm the only person listening to anything today by the looks of things. Anyway...
Frantic - Ennio
Not the typical type of Morricone I listen to a lot, but this one is fantastic. On the FSM album, I've only listened to the album tracks so far. Wonder whether it's worth trying the film arrangements instead. -

I've been listening to Stravinsky's Rite of Spring and Firebird Suite on a continuous loop all day! I know this should go in the Non-Film Music thread but screw that... everyone (film music fans, too) need to... scratch that... should be required to have these two remarkable, ground breaking, revolutionary classical pieces in their collection.
Now that I'm done my 5th lap with these two... how can I go back to listening to film music? There really isn't anything better, is there?

I love Stravinsky. Those two are just phenomenal. Which recordings have you got? -

Just the Bernstein LSO/NY Phil recordings. They sound pretty darn good to me but if you have something better I'm all ears!

NP: AMAZING STORIES: SANTA '85 - THOMAS NEWMAN
Haven't heard this in a while but it is truly lovely. Despite it's short running length (just 13 mins), it demonstrates just how early Newman had his distinctive style pinned down.
I've been trying to find that for years, but no luck. Where did you find it? -

Lorne Balfe - Ironclad
Not half bad. Some good ideas here and there and generally a nice soundscape. His influence on Zimmer's recent style is evident here.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

NP: Man on a Ledge - Henry Jackman
To be honest, it does remind you of other electronica efforts from other RC members (Klaus, Ramin, Geoff) but there's something kinda engaging about the final output.
Ramin's new propulsive score for Safe House seems to be another good step as well. -

I'd concur with that statement. Safe House was surprisingly good. I'm glad that Ramin's finally stepped away from that Prison Break soundscape that he created and went above it. -

Yes there IS....loads and loads and loads
( well, maybe not better but equal to )
But yeah, those two works are truly deserving of the word MASTERPIECE.
Have you ever listened to Shostakovitch 7th symphony? ( bugger doing everything in order
) It's seriously awesome and deserving of your attention, yet another one of those works where after listening to it I find film music a bit "un-filling" in comparison.
p.s. I almost missed this post of yours Erik, I wouldn't have missed it at the Off Topic thread, nothing wrong with posting it here but why not paste it in the other thread too.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I don't think you can ever go wrong with Bernstein ( or rarely ), one of the most passionate composer/conducters who ever lived, of more recent recordings I was very impressed with Valery Gergiev with the Kirov Orchestra version of Rite of Spring.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Earlier heard Cliff Martinez - Drive
First time I've heard it outside the film and it has some good moments though isn't overly appealing. Works mostly as tone-setting soundscape.
Now on Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close - Alexandre Desplat
Starts well and seems to be ending well too, though there are a few (3 or 4) filler cues that do nothing.
Some typically lovely writing for piano, and even if its sound becomes a little too overbearing, it has a very pleasant, soothing melodic feel to it. -

Exactly . You are spot on regarding its function. Rarely I visited it on cd after watching the film, but In the later, it works flawlessly. As an isolated musical experience it doesn't hold the musical or emotional traits to stand alone like his Solaris did.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I just saw the movie. The music works fairly well (maybe a tad too intense at times?). God, was Paul Giamatti having fun hammering the characterhttp://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Given that the film has no real main character or central plot point, I'm always amazed Williams was able to find a core to the film to write themes as great as Duel of the Fates and Anakin's Theme. -

He added to the film. He inserted emotions that would have never been there otherwise. He kept it from completely sucking. That's what great film composers do, and that's what modern directors don't want done to their films, because they want to be the Sole Creative Genius.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!
