  1. NP: Game of Thrones (Ramin?)

    Not a phenomenal score. Despite the obvious care put into some things (the persian instrumentation, the faux medieval stuff), the main material ends up sounding really cheap and 'wannabe epic film music'.

    NP: GREAT COMPOSERS (Georges Delerue)

    The great 2CD Varese compilation. Sometimes, I like to play this instead of the massive 6CD set I also have.
    I am extremely serious.

    Twilight Zone: The Movie - Jerry Goldsmith

    The string and percussion writing in the 'Time Out' and 'Nightmare at 20,000 ft' segments are just brilliant. Could listen to these all day - and have done just that in the past! Then there's the glorious theme for 'Kick the Can' just to cement this score's greatness if it needed it.
  2. NP: Drive (Martinez)

    Good background when you're doing something very interesting and don't need music to distract you.

    making me wonder why listen to it at all

    I love the songs, and especially Oh My Love (not because how it was used in the film). Perhaps a bit corny, but there's a great Italian tune in there. punk

    Loved how they used the songs in the film, the last one really fits like a glove.
    Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you
  3. I didn't really have an issue with the songs. Can't say I like the film, but nothing to do with its music.

    NP: Puss In Boots - Henry Jackman

    Despite being heavily inspired by John Powell's scoring style, the score is hugely entertaining in and out of the movie. The melody and catchy thematic material get a bit of a workout and retain the high energy and big sense of fun throughout the album/movie.

    NP: VARESE 30TH ANNIVERSARY (various)

    Superb 4CD set containing 90% stuff I hadn't heard before (mostly because I'm not as strong on 2000s scores as I am on 90's and before).
    I am extremely serious.

    The Crimebuster theme is fun, though. And at least it's eons better than the film itself. It's still an X-FILES mystery how superstar Williams ever got to score this turkey.

    I think it's an innocent, outside-of-the-box-score for Williams... and like Thor said the Crimebuster theme is extraordinary! I love it!

    Recently I wasn't in a mood for listening film scores, except playing shuffle of favorite tracks in the background...

    But today somehow it's back smile

    So what I listened today:

    Thin Red Line - Hans Zimmer
    Shawshank Redemption - Thomas Newman
    The Holiday - Hans Zimmer


    and NP: Freedom: Piano Stories 4 - Joe Hisaishi


    Hopefully I can post in this forum a bit more often again smile

    Glad you love The Thin Red Line.

    NP : THE LAST VALLEY - John Barry



    This is the original score, it's been some time since I've played this ( due to Silva's complete re-recording ) which is a shame as Barry's original is unbeatable.

    You mean randomly selecting cues, adding them to a playlist and let it play... OR select Jerry Goldsmith and shuffle only his music in iTunes?

    Neither. I mean going through just Goldsmith scores and manually playing random tracks. No playlists, no shuffling.

    Because I tend not to make compilation playlists. But I do sometimes feel like listening to random tracks (usually composer specific). Though I usually end up settling on a specific score. Shut up, you're weird.
