    NP : KOYANISQAATSI - Philip Glass



    My introduction to Glass. Love it!

    ( heard this in a local HMV store and bought it there and then. Hard to believe that was back in the early 80's )

    The theme from Rabin's Deep Blue Sea. Man, I can't stand Children of Dune. The recording sucks, too

    I had the same experience with Goldsmith's Rambo First Blood: Part II. I had to buy it as soon as I heard it on the speakers in an HMV in Glasgow.

    It's the Four Chords, that's why it sounds so derivative (I also can't stand that score). At least with Thor 2 there's far better orchestrations fleshing them out.
  6. NP: Thor: The Dark World (2013) - Brian Tyler

    Yep, this is Tyler in Dune-mode. I like it.

    Concerning Children of Dune: I can hear all the lifts, I also noticed the Four Chord Progression. I don't regard this as great film music in an absolute sense. It works for me all the same. That probably has to do with the fact that I like the mini series a lot. Film and music are deeply connected in my awareness. If I like a film I tend to enjoy the music for that very reason. I don't analyse the music, I just experiance it and relive the film that way.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    I got my copy of Rambo II for free. There was an open air mini-film festival around the dockside area ( where we all met when you came to Bristol ), amongst those there were Gabriel Byrne, Greta Sciattchi, ( angelic ) Fiona Fullerton ( angelic ) and an at-that-time nearly unknown Daniel Day-Lewis. A film quiz was hosted at one point where goodies were handed out for correct answers, I won Rambo II, Michael Nyman's The Draughtsman's Contract, a Rambo II T-shirt and a Pale Rider T-shirt ( Clint Eastwood film and I still have the T-shirt ) all in succession. Before the 5th question the compere said anyone could answer except 'for that gentleman there' ( pointing at me ), happily he didn't say anyone could answer except for that smart-ass know it all smug git there wink

    This was also the same event where David Puttnam said it had only been confirmed on that day that Ennio Morricone was scoring The Mission.

    It's not awful, I should say. It's not as bad as his Tony Scott scores. Just bland.


    Having listened another couple of times for a review, I take that back. It is indeed awful.


    cant wait for the arrival of the cd next week. i love all his scores to the tony scott movies and the samples from The Equalizer on itunes sound also amazing. i love this score style. the lovely piano motives, the melancholic string parts and the electronic rhythems are fantastic. harry is back with this style. im so happy.



    All that is beautiful indeed, but the horrible, always-the-same, electronica noise from DOMINO is also back as well.

    No God, No Master - Nuno Malo

    This is wonderful. Touch of (modern) John Williams about it.


    I get a Williams, Yared, Thomas Newman, Elfman vibe with this score. It's lovely. And with the film being released in limited engagements THIS year - having gone through the film festival circuit over the course of the past two - I think I'm going to include it on THIS years top 10 list.

    -Erik-


    Nuno is amazing. Check out AMALIA everyone, if you haven't already done so.

    I agree that TMNT's theme isn't anything special but the orchestrations that surround it are very impressive, IMO, some of the best and most dynamic writing I've ever heard from Tyler.


    yeah


    Ah, what i did like from TMNT was the theme. The rest is too loud and too much for my tastes smile

    NP: THE CROODS (Alan Silvestri)

    One of the better ones of Silvestri's recent output. OK, so the album is a tad bit long and the mickey-mousey stuff ain't my cup of tea, but it has enough great standalone tracks - like "Turkey Fish Follies" - to work!
    I am extremely serious.

    Well if you programme the mickey mousing out, which is awful, and it's practically 3/4 of the album, indeed there are some nice cues in there. Anyone saw the film? is it worth it?

    I wouldn't call it a complete turd, but the film went indeed too far in its style over subtance approach. I know that Tony Scott was aiming at a radically subjective style of filmmaking at the time, but unlike Man on Fire that particular world didn't call for such extravaganza, at least to that extent. At least it's better than the senseless remake of Pelham...

    I agree with Pawel. DOMINO was too frenetic. MAN ON FIRE, on the other hand, is a wonderful film that succeeded at the very things DOMINO did not.
