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.
You see Tim, I got it in the end.
One trillion kudos points for you Gilles
What a corking album it is eh?

Music to very cheesy BBC show about the comings and goings in a 5 star hotel, the music is very much in the 'chill out' vein and a lot of it is very good too, more of a late night listen with a nice glass of something inebriating.

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."
I read somewhere that Hans actually said that, like most of his earlier scores he wasn't too fond of it, and he hopes these scores are never released. Of course with the death of Tony Scott, I see several scores of his movies getting a release soonwaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh -

That's subjective. I didn't think La Herencia Valdemar II: La Sombra Prohibida was all that hot compared to the first one.

Harry Gregson-Williams - Deja Vu
It's a difficult score to assess. The theme is one of the very best from the composer I think, very touching in its simple restraint and piano/guitar-led intimacy and the usage of it is great on this album. I love cues like Dazzle Me and Claire's Apartment.
Then we have the typical Harry Gregson-Williams/Tony Scott action music which isn't as appealing, to put it delicately. It's more noisy than the whole Brian Tyler career in film scoring. So ends up as a slightly-less-than-average score with a beautiful theme.
Oh, and the song is really cool. The composer's best along with what he did for Veronica Guerin.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

NP: Hitman - Geoff Zanelli
Sure, it is inspired by Powell's Bourne's score, but it certainly established its own unique identity, more than any other imitators, IMHO. It's certainly thematic enough to maintain my attention, and that's saying something. -

Not for me, I'm afraid - hate it (and the film). I don't really like any of his scores for Scott, but this is possibly my least favourite of all. -

I did like to catch an episode or two, but I would never make it a staple.
It was pleasantly entertaining enough for a TV show.
Didn't know there was a soundtrack out.

I didn't know there was a soundtrack available either until I saw it in a Virgin store for very cheap. I just looked on Amazon and there was one used copy going for £29.95

What I really love about horror scoring (and I think I've mentioned this before) is that it's the only genre that still allows purely symphonic music to stand out and is encouraged to help tell the story. You don't hear about test audiences bitching about the traditional old fashioned film score written for the horror genre do you? The louder and more present the score is the better. Composers, at times, can really stretch they wings even though they sometimes get cornered into providing obvious horror scoring.
Arnau Bataller's La Hermandad is like that. There's moments of such beauty - gorgeous cello solo with piano in "Mi Hija" - and huge orchestral swells in "El libro de Eli." This is all mixed within some traditional horror scoring - dissonance, atmosphere, orchestral stingers, etc. But at the end of the album we get a cue called "La confesión" which is probably one of the finest tracks of the year. Sweeping strings, piano, boy soprono... heavenly!
Solid score!

I counter that with 1982 and 1989! 'nuff said!
How about 1962. Did you see that list of Academy Award nominees?! Here's a little reminder.
Lawrence of Arabia – Maurice Jarre
To Kill a Mockingbird – Elmer Bernstein
Freud – Jerry Goldsmith
Mutiny on the Bounty – Bronislau Kaper
Taras Bulba – Franz Waxman
What about 1960.
Exodus – Ernest Gold
Elmer Gantry – André Previn
Spartacus – Alex North
The Alamo – Dimitri Tiomkin
The Magnificent Seven – Elmer Bernstein
That's some good shit right there!

The Scarlet Letter - John Barry
What a stunner this score is. "Love Scene" is amongst the most intensely erotic pieces of film music I've heard; the vaguely Dances With Wolves-like music towards the finale is great. Heck, the whole thing's great. -

You should - it's good. (I know this from the one occasion I listened to it, having so excitedly bought it. But really, it is good.)
