Breathtaking. Absolute orchestral savagery combined with the most lilting emotions. Uniquely Alex North.

Listening to Lionheart in reverse for the first time in ages (Vol 2 before Vol 1 because I wanted the better half at the end) I realise I really should work out a playlist, not based on the movie (because the score is simply butchered all over the place in there) but on what would make the best listening experience.
But maybe some of you already did that and would like to share?
I love Lionheart! Always have. Great to read your thoughts Ralph!
Long ago I made a custom CD with all tracks from both volumes in chronological film order. I know it may not be the best "listening experience" but I'm used to it this way now.
THE CEREMONY
THE CASTLE
BRING HIM BACK
FAILED KNIGHT
THE CIRCUS
ROBERT AND BLANCHE
CHILDREN IN BONDAGE
GATES OF PARIS
PARIS UNDERGROUND
THE ROAD FROM PARIS
THE BANNER
THE DRESS
THE FUTURE
MATHILDA
THE PLAGUE
FOREST HUNT
THE LAKE
THE WRONG FLAG
FINAL FIGHT
KING RICHARD
I ended "The Future" cue with a reverb fade before the end title reprise kicked in. Don't want it twice.

Good man! I believe Alex North to be one of the most rewarding composers to those willing to listen.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Thank you very much. It looks like a good list to me. I´ll try it next time I listen to it, but I think I´ll put "The Future" at the beginning to use it like an Overture or a Main Title. -

World War Z Marco Beltrami
Another fine action score from the 25 year old. Not quite as good as Die Hard Número Cinco, but a fine little album of typically aggressive action music. -

Soul Surfer is the Beltrami score for me, far and away, nothing else I've heard from him is even close, but I guess that's because he's primarily an action/suspense composer and that's not really my thing. Soul Surfer is one of my all-time favorites.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

The best thing about this is sitting wondering how long it will be until you hear the HORN OF DOOM. Just when you think you might be waiting forever, you get to track twelve and there she blows!

The man has a very limited back of tricks when it comes to action music, a fact that's becoming more evident with every new score-of-the-month of his that's released these days. This however, in its best moments, especially thematically, is one of his stronger recent efforts. -

to all of that.
Also, with regards to the earlier discussion about Dwayne Johnson - seriously, D? I mean, no, he's not Gielgud, but as a popcorn lead he fits the bill. He's very much a latter-day 80s action hero, no more, no less, and he does that well. I can't believe you'd call him uncharismatic of all things. -

True, but Tyler's music is very, very enjoyable, energetic and not filled with electronic crap crushing the actual music ontop. He's a man who knows his craft, all the different genres he's mixing. He actually knows how to blend them all in an organic whole unlike some recent disasters have shown (Velazquez's Hercules).Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
