  1. NP: Assassin's Creed II (Jesper Kyd)

    The haunting vocals soar in this one, but I find the pieces were the vocals, the percussion and the emotional score are put together the most enjoyable ones (Flight over Venice is so beautiful). Wasn't that fond of the electronic enhancements in the escape cues though
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh
  2. Hans Zimmer - Days of Thunder

    Listening to this score while writing a blog entry about Tony Scott. I haven't listened to the score for ages. It's nothing amazing, but not as bad as Hans thought it was (I got that quote about Days of Thunder from Thomas's old website:

    "People keep asking me why isn't the good music from Days of Thunder released... Because there is no good music!" Correct me, Thomas, because I am quoting from memory.

    It's an average score to me, some great thematic material (Building the Car is blasting right now, I remember how shocked I was when I saw the movie last time and to compare this music to how... static the scene is, both in editing and filming). While it has a huge coolness factor, the score is emotionally very artificial. It's cool, it has a nice motion, but it's just empty. Maybe that's why Hans is so against it.

    The movie is one of Scott's worst, but he beautifully explained why and he acknowledged it was bad, citing thinking that having Tom Cruise behind the wheel is pretty much enough to make a movie without a proper story, but well, it wasn't. Ironically some early reviews I saw called the movie... "Top Gun with a script."

    Such a shame that it seems the original Gwangi score is lost forever sad

    Anyway, I fancy some more Harryhausen scored goodness...

    NP : ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. - Mario Nascimbene


    Brutally barbaric theme, terrifying soundscapes and heavenly music complete with choir combine to make a superb and absorbing listen love

    Well it's a cool movie for me, I've always liked it a lot, also in part thanks to the music, which I find just 'rocking' and cool. Both are arguably bad when compared to better movies / scores but to me there's an element of fun present. I even have the movie on blu-ray. punk Hoping to one day have the Zimmer approved album as well. cheesy

    NP: Columbus Circle - Tyler

    First track...obvious Bourne temp is obvious.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!
  7. RENT-A-COP - JERRY GOLDSMITH

    It's okay, it has a lovely theme, the album opens and ends gloriously, and even though the middle section isn't always memorable, I can enjoy it without problem.

    DAYS OF THUNDER is one of my Zimmer favourites -- love the power anthem/ballad, in particular, the intimate moments and the 'rocking' fun (as Gilles says) of the action material. It's not Top 10 Zimmer, but it's among the honourable mentions slightly below.
    I am extremely serious.
  9. Yes the intimate moments, there's a scene after Cole Trickle (Tom Cruise) has the accident, and is in the hospital and asks what is going on with him. The music during that scene, my heart always skips a beat right there. It's those little touches that he did so well in those days, even though he would say now it was crap. But boy is he wrong...

  10. He said it somewhere around Crimson Tide though!

    I think this score totally lacks emotions. It's simply empty. Sounds cool on the outside, but there's nothing inside.

  11. Empty to you and Hans, but not empty to me and Thor. wink

    Definitely not. At times uplifting, at other times introspective, at other times adrenaline-inducing. It runs the whole GAMUT of emotions!

    I hope Hans still likes Beyond Rangoon. That thing is an absolute masterpiece. The little thing in the 2nd minute of the climactic track is one of the most beautiful 15 seconds of music I've ever heard. I think Thomas knows what I'm talking about cause I think he mentioned it in his review forever ago.

    It's my alltime favourite Zimmer score, and I know that Pawel, plindboe and Timmer has similar sentiments. I hope he likes it himself too.

    Yes, BEYOND RANGOON is a lovely score, one of my Zimmer favourites. It doesn't bother me whether Zimmer likes it or not, for example, there's a number of John Barry favourites of mine that I know he detested. Me no bothered.

    I always enjoyed the original CONAN THE BARBARIAN, fabulous photography, great sets, fine cast and one of the 5 best scores ever written. I can happily watch this over and over.

    Haven't listened to this in years, some beautiful music here and I like the songs too. I remember when this and 'K-19: The Widowmaker' came out in quick succession I got very excited about this composer but I don't think I've really liked anything he's done since.

    It is beautiful indeed are you familiar with his Invincible score with Hans Zimmer and THE PLEDGE? Also the chinese film PROMISE is stunning and K-19: the widowmaker. He hasn't done anything even close to those standards the last few years sadly.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

  30. E.T. RE-RECORDING - WILLIAMS

    Where were you all my life? For years I've been thinking the MCA 1996 album was everything I ever needed.

    I've been proven wrong by this glorious 40 minute album which has only highlights that reach for the skies, from the first minute to the last. love

    You see Tim, I got it in the end. cool
