  1. Billy: Ol' Pat... Sheriff Pat Garrett. Sold out to the Santa Fe ring. How does it feel?
    Garrett: It feels like... times have changed.
    Billy: Times, maybe. Not me.

    NP: Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973) - Bob Dylan

    I love this film to pieces! Sam Peckinpah's failed masterwork. Few other films reflect my own outlook upon life the way this film does.
    Dylan's score is mentioned next to never on film music boards. Nevertheless it's marvelous.

    PS: O, and "Young Guns" is pretty cool, too.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    [insert argument about 2CD extended presentation being perfectly valid here]

    The Smaug album is worth it for the end credit suite.

    Ah, Greenaway's contribution I presume?

    Actually, it's JNH's arrangement of a melody by Arcade Fire.

    I learn something new every day cheesy

    Do you know the name of the Arcade Fire track it's based on?

  6. I believe Arcade Fire wrote the hymn for the film and Howard adapted the tune for his score. The same thing that happened in the "Hobbit" score where Shore adapted a melody by Plan9.

    I hope someone posts a suggested playlist for the second score at some point for those of us with a little less time on our hands. I think it was Erik who provided me/us with the one for the first score (I still didn't think it was very good - but it's hardly fair to blame Erik for that).

    By the gods YES! A much more exciting and more entertaining ( for me ) score than Jurassic Park.

    I love 'creepy'. I decided not to listen to any samples and have pre-ordered the deluxe version from Amazon.

    NP : CASTLEVANIA: LORDS OF SHADOW - Oscar Araujo



    Wonderful stuff! Great orchestral/choral writing with some of it being gorgeously subtle. An obvious influence is Howard Shore's LOTR scores but that's no bad thing in my book.

    I love every aspect of this score: the atmospheric cues, the action scoring and the "classical" references.

    Coming up in my random-within-parameters foobar playlist is "Sparkles at Last" by Carter Burwell from the Breaking Dawn Part II score. Usually I delete tracks from those scores when they come up, but I will leave this one, because it has the best title in the history of both titles, and things that are the best.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    I must have mentioned it some time ago, but am I the only one thinking that the Gayane quote in Horner's score is a quite direct reference to 2001?

    I know what you mean, I was wondering if 'A Fighting Chance To Live' from Horner's Star Trek III was a quite direct reference to Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet.

    NP: The Witchfinder General - Paul Ferris

    A release that was VERY long in the making, having been announced and then canceled or postponed numerous times.
    But here it is, Paul Ferris' outstanding score for what arguably is Vincent Price's best film.
    The score, from 1968, is monaural, which is no surprise, but DeWolfe Music has cleaned it up beautifully.

    The only little niggle I would have is that the compression seems a bit over the top: the trebble seems very condensed, but this may well simply be my headphones playing tricks on me. The sound is overall very clear.

    The score is excellent. For a horror film (well, it's not really a horror film in the classical sense as there are no supernatural goings-on. But the mood is very dark and grim and very reminiscent in style and tone of the best of Hammer House.) the music is overall surprisingly melodic. Even the obligatory tension and terror cues are generally not in the dissonant vein that dominates sixties and seventies horror scoring.

    In fact the overall feel -with some exceptions- is rather Romantic, if anything!
    Mainly though that's to do with the absolutely gorgeous main and secondary themes.
    I remember especially the secondary theme being repeated throughout the film a zillion times, but its re-appearance on the CD only becomes really noticeable in the second half. Which isn't a bad thing: it's so lovely I wouldn't want it to outstay its welcome.

    Clearly DeWolfe has tried to scrounge as much from the original sound track as possible, as there are quite a few very brief ((well)under a minute in length) cues I could have done without. However, within the "musical narrative" (for lack of a better word) of the CD they don't annoy. In fact overall the whole thing is an amazingly well-balanced listen.

    And those themes...they really are phenomenal.

  23. NP: Conan The Barbarian - Basil Poledouris

    Intrada's presentation of the complete original soundtrack. Excellent.

    NP: La Ragazza Con La Valigia - Mario Nascimbene

    No idea what the film is about, and the (non-existent) track titles are no help ("seq. 2"; "seq 16"...), although the cover certainly has its merits ...but it's a score for mostly classical guitar...and harpsichord.

    I've died and gone to heaven.
