    I hope so! Goldsmith is very personal to me - anyone who can't accept that isnt worth it (but she is, very much so. She makes the effort to listen to film music! Incredible.)

    I can't deicide between this, War Horse or Mars Needs Moms as my favourite scores of 2011. In which case I have three No. 1 top scores of 2011.

    Your highness (Jablonsky)

    The first tracks on the album are great, and same with the last tracks. It drags in the middle though, where I can't find many moments to enjoy. There's about a half hour of excellent music on this album, the other half I could do without.

    Rating: ****

    Entertaining movie too. Rather unsophisticated humour, but sometimes that can be rather enjoyable.

  1. "Loch Ness"
    By: Trevor Jones


    The suite on Youtube is a little misleading, it lures you into the sense that it's very repetitious with little variation, but it's not.

    I've been wanting this ever since Perseverance Records released it a few years back, and with a bit of Christmas money, got it for probably the cheapeast price I could have in a long while.

    I'm only half way through, but the score is wonderful. It never feels like the simplistic writing you hear a lot these days by clones, and the orchestration is varied, and the writing just as much. The nice touch of some celtic instruments and style, ads to the flavor of the score. While for the most part of certainly breaks no new ground (but not ever score does, after all), it does ad some moments that are new to me, playing with the color of the celtic harmonics and ideas.

    Id' personally call it one of his best, though most people would be disappointed since it never reaches the heights of his known action scores. I'm not one of these people -- I can find greatness in lesser efforts and small ensemble works.

    The Ghost and the Darkness - Jerry Goldsmith

    It's about as authentically African as Ali Bongo, but it's so entertaining. "Lions Attack" is one hell of an action track.


    Obviously authentic then. There's some great music missing from the CD, I'd buy an expanded.

    Angela's Ashes is one of my favourite scores, without a doubt. It's melancholy without being depressing, and beautiful without being overbearing. The string writing is perhaps some of the best I've heard from John Williams. It's just wonderful. (I've only ever heard the 'promo' version, so I don't know anything about the dialogue.)


    I bought my copy in HMV, it has NO dialogue, someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was the American issue that contained dialogue?

    Yup. The Academy promo is also sans dialogue.

    Breakheart Pass - Jerry Goldsmith

    Not a vintage Goldsmith western though the infectious main theme certainly is vintage. Love the sensitive variation it gets in 'The Trestle'. The absolute highlight though is the blistering 'Runaway' - dear God, the brass section must have been sweating bullets when they saw the closing moments of this on their stands!

    That's not the promo version. That's the Decca version.
    Oddly two different versions were simultaneously released, and the European Decca version does not have the narration.
    Thatk the maker.

    It's not one of his best but the theme is FANTASTIC and the album is short enough not to outstay it's welcome.

    Ah reet. My CD has a single page front insert and no printing on the back... plus the disc looks pretty minimal too? That's why I thought I had a "promo" (even though it doesn't say promo anywhere... I don't think?)

    Anyway. That's the version I know and love. Hearing dialogue would be very weird.

    The European version and Academy PROMO have zero dialogue. The North American version has dialogue!
