  3. NP: Heaven and Hell (1993) - Kitaro

    Beautiful. A seamless blend och orchestral and electronic elements. Kitaro and Vangelis are the masters of this trade. Better even than Goldsmith and Maurice Jarre.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    Quite likely! biggrin

    I could never put my finger on it. I only ever bought the Spacecamp lp, played it enough times ( most recently a couple years back when this score caused a bit of conversation similar to now ) but it never had a 'hook' for me.

    Many people would argue that that's not difficult wink

    Goldsmith, and particularly Jarre have many detractors over their use of electronics.

  6. It's Heaven and Earth of course. shame
    Heaven and Hell is a masterpiece album by Vangelis.

    Listened to How to train your dragon today, while taking down the christmas tree and all. It amazed me again how brilliant this score is. Rating 6 out of 5 or something. It has everything a score needs. Great themes and instruments... this is how you write a score.

    I tried to get through The Wind Rises by Joe Hisaishi. I normally like his stuff but this was was tedious! I probably have to be in a better mood to enjoy it but that was one of the last few 2013 score I needed to listen to before I finalize my best of 2013. Move onto and revisiting Henry Jackman's apolocolyptic score to This Is The End

    I was quite bored by it too, when I think about it.

    Tim's Vermeer - Conrad Pope

    This elegant, classically-informed score is one of the finest of the year for sure. Echoes of both Desplat and Williams here.

  12. Joe Kraemer - Jack Reacher

    Saw the film yesterday and what a breath of fresh air. While maybe not the best crime story ever told, I love the way it was told. Full of faith in images, viewer's intelligence and musical silence. Good to see a car chase with shots longer than half a second, good to hear such a scene (as the shootout at the end!) unscored. It lets the performances (a good turn by Cruise with a bit of an understated, if acerbic, charisma), the intrigue shine without being overly "flashy" in modern terms.

    At the same time Kraemer's score harkens at the 1970s as does the movie (contrary to opinions that it's an 80s homage, there basically no nonsensical chases and explosions and the action is kept at bay, it's a story of *intrigue* more than anything). The Main Title cue is of particular note, probably the most "active" piece of music (with the action largely unscored, there is mostly tension-building and a very careful one at that) in the film.

    A breath of fresh air I heavily enjoyed.

    ...or Johnson?

    And if it's a short suite then there's a multitude to choose from.

    Anyone know how McNeely's version compares to Laurie Johnson's?

    Against all odds, Johnson was a good friend of Herrmann.

    I've never heard the Johnson.

    I do like the McNeely one. But (controversial opinion?) I generally prefer my Herrmann in suite form. All those short tracks are musically complete which is impressive, but...

    Yes, as much of a fan of Herrmann's that I am I'm inclined to mostly agree with you.

    Oh yes, The Johnson recording is very good as I remember ( not heard it for many years now )

    I imagine most sane people would agree too. (Which is odd, because I agree myself.)
  24. I only know the McNeely version. I like that a lot.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  25. I like my short Herrmann tracks.

    I haven't heard the score away from the film but I was pretty impressed -- and surprised to be -- by the film.
    A butterfly thinks therefore I am
  27. Why did it surprise? Was it the old-school narrative style?

    The score surprised me a bit (more than the film - which I did like). I didn't expect to hear echoes of that Michael Small / David Shire sound of the 70s again, certainly not in a studio film. Really enjoyed it.

  30. Am I the only one who hears a bit of John Williams conspiracy marches in the theme in End Credits?

    Also, to watch an unscored car chase... that was something.
