    Speaking of bad Zimmer scores...

    The Peacemaker

    Christ, this is painful to sit through. There are some good bits, but nowhere near enough of them even for a 60-minute album, let alone 93. (93!)


    SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!

    It's definitely one of the best 90s score from Hans Zimmer. Gladiator wouldn't have been as good without inheriting all of the orchestral goodness from Peacemaker.
  1. NP: How to Train Your Dragon 2, once again.

    For a Tracksounds review (finally!). This is by far the best score of the year so far. love

    But why is (say) Inception generally considered excellent and the Dark Knight scores generally considered average (often by the same people) when they sound so friggin' similar?


    Ah not me . I live his dark knight scores too.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    For balance I'll put in that I agree with Mr Southall. The Peacemaker is mostly horrible.

  2. Jerry Goldsmith - The Wind and the Lion

    So, finally grabbed this masterpiece, which was too expensive for me when Intrada released it, but now perused their 30% discount. I think all has been said about this score? I'll just point out that I still wonder if the trumpet players survived that crazy solo in Raisuli Attacks.

    Ah, the brilliance. I was supposed not to buy epic scores anymore, and seemingly I ended up with Rozsa's El Cid, Poledouris' Flesh + Blood (though that's cheating, it was a review copy) and now Wind and the Lion. Next time I will be in the mood for epic scores, I guess I'll start collecting Zbigniew Preisner.

    I love the first album, but I think this might be my favourite of the two. Pure class. 5 stars doesn't do it justice.

    I just picked up the Vince Dicola score for the eighties' cartoon feature in the Intrada sale. dizzy
    I'm actually quite curious to hear how it holds up (but what I'd really like is a properly orchestrated and recorded version of the original cartoon's main theme. Yeah. I'm nostalgic like that. I could do without the lyrics, though. smile)

    One of Tyler's most accessible and fun scores. Ry Cooder meets...erm...well...Brian Tyler dizzy
    Great ominous guitar twanging and some surprisingly melodic lines in a wonderfully entertaining score.

    Great film too. Elvis and a black JFK take on a 4000 year old Mummy wearing cowboy boots. Love it!

    Accessible? I remember it having some nice cues but finding it overall a very mixed bag with some truly awful stretches as well ("Elder Hole"... vomit ). Might need to relisten.
