    Timeline - Jerry Goldsmith

    My own recent listening has been all about him and I have loved rediscovering a lot of music I hadn't listened to in a while, such as this one. I miss Jerry Goldsmith.

  3. I've been listening to The Mummy a lot recently. I always knew it was good but I'd forgotten just how good it was. I do wonder though, considering all the terrible films Goldsmith had the misfortune to score, why is this the one where he drew the line? I find it honestly quite enjoyable, if hardly high art (and the CGI doesn't hold up in the least).

    Balto - James Horner

    Possibly his best animated score, though there are a few contenders. Definitely a personal favourite though, just nosing out The Land Before Time and American Tail 2. The main theme is, typically, spectacular - as is the action music.

    I wonder if that's how it went. Newman has worked with these filmmakers before and not done it. I am told that it was Patrick Doyle's decision and nobody else's to go the way he did on Thor and then Jack Ryan, a way of showing Hollywood that he could do that stuff if that's what they really want (and evidently it is), to ensure he can still get high-profile work outside of his reliable collaborator Branagh. Maybe Newman - whose assignments have rather been drying up in recent years, though of course that may be his own choice - decided to do the same thing.

    I think the person to blame for all this is fairly clear and it isn't Patrick Doyle or David Newman or Kenneth Branagh or whoever directed Tarzan. Whether it was his intention or not, everything is now about him.


    Wise words. Although i find that Tarzan is highly superior to Thor or the awful Jack Ryan.

    NP : ALICE IN WONDERLAND - Danny Elfman



    Excellent!

  7. It is.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  8. NP: Isabel (Federico Jusid)

    Which I discovered while going through Erik's 'Best of 2012' collection. I think Erik got the best of it into his suite, but it is a good listen even in the longer form. smile Shades of the romantic side of El Cid and Alatriste, other Spanish epics.

    JCVD - Gast Waltzing

    Sensational jazzy score with memorably muscular brass writing. Certainly tips the cap to Fielding and Shire's Pelham but is thoroughly entertaining.

    Tarzan David Newman

    Not particularly original, and the Four Chords are everywhere (though not necessarily a bad thing since its themes aren't based entirely around them), but this a joy to hear. Even if there is a bit of Zimmeritis going on, it's nice to hear a new David Newman score and which isn't just comedy fluff.
  11. NP: The Hound of the Baskervilles (1983) - Michael J. Lewis
    Promotional release.

    I was made aware of this score some days ago. I must say I never took any notice of Lewis before. This will change now since this is a beautiful TV score. I've known the film for decades bat havent seen it in along while. I'll have to dig up the DVD and pay special attention to the score in context.

    Police Academy - Robert Folk

    The new Intrada release. It has a good theme. A VERY good theme! ...but it's pretty much the basis for each and every track, and thusly wears out its welcome much quicker than it deserves.

    NP: Pompeii - Clinton Shorter

    I, like, this(?) not?. There a bunch of temp-track influences throughout which gives me a sense of dejavu, which troubles me so because I can't identify the original sources for these temps, but I'm sure a most of them are related to Hans Zimmer/RC group somehow. In short, nothing new.

  18. This morning has been rather good. Just gone through the Dollars Trilogy:

    A Fistful of Dollars - Ennio Morricone
    For A Few Dollars More - Ennio Morricone
    The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - Ennio Morricone

    Great to listen to them back-to-back

    And then iTunes shuffle threw up another gem:

    NP: Titus - Elliot Goldenthal

    Yes, the composer throws up an eclectic mix of styles, but there's just so much emotion and drama that this score is definitely propelled up into my Top 5 Goldenthal scores. It could even be top of the pile.

    I would agree with that assessment.

    Incidentally, how wonderful you have the time to be able to spend that much into listening to those scores back to back! I'd love to do that, but the nature of my work won't allow it. sad

  20. I would prefer to be in the situation where I DIDN'T have the opportunity to listen to them all! But, today, what I am doing means that I can have music in the background: data inputting rather than writing!

    Incredibly good score, but doesn't top final fantasy for me smile It's 2nd though.

    To be honest, it's not bad. You can't really hate a score that has some really nice sounding choral bit. But the fact that each cues remind me of some other score, is really annoying.

    All Classical period compositions sound the same after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. That WAM sound needs to die.
