    He did have a few cues that weren't ambient. However, I understand the "purpose" of the ambient cues and the role those cues play within the game. I will NOT negatively criticize this score as a whole because the ambient cues aren't full throttle epic adventure cues like some of the very best ones Knorr or Kirkhope composed.

    I agree with Erik on that point (the ambient cues are crucial), and I do like the score as a whole. I just wish it was presented more succinctly. The album has been resting in my 'limbo' folder for many months now, awaiting a time when I can at the very least make a decent 50-60 minute playlist out of the two hours worth of tracks.
    I am extremely serious.
  3. The ambient cues are OK for what they are (i.e. tolerable), but I wouldn't go so far as to call them "crucial". Yes, some low-key stuff in between all the big melodic cues is necessary, but low-key can still be more interesting than what Griffin Cohen wrote I think. Also, that one cue of his that isn't labeled "ambient" is still pretty darn ambient wink . This is all speaking on album terms; obviously if the game demanded purely ambient music with no melody or structure, that's fine.

    I'd also venture to say that Michael Curran's stuff, though enjoyable, doesn't really bring that much to the table. His music is pretty similar to Geoff Knorr's in tone, but not quite as good.

    The Monkey King - Christopher Young

    Eight thousand releases of King Solomon's Mines and zero releases of this. Hope someone rectifies that soon because it's absolutely bloody brilliant.

  8. NP: Lady Oscar - Michel Legrand

    This is beautiful! Never heard of it before but came across a digital release of this score that has only been available as part of an 11 CD set released by Universal Music France last year.

  9. NP: Cold In July - Jeff Grace

    I am liking the similarities this score has with the sound of John Carpenter in his heyday.

    Not mine, I'm afraid -- simply not a sound I am drawn to very much these days. But as a teen and young adult, I would have been all over this. I still am -- to a certain extent -- and can admire the writing, but it's not one that will get lot of plays.

    NP: Casanova - Alexandre Desplat

    Even before everyone went ga-ga over Desplat he was already doing great stuff.
    This score features gorgeous faux-baroque music (and the echoes of Delerue are pronounced. Which, to be very clear, is a GOOD thing!).

    I have tried to watch the film, which looked gorgeous, but was poorly set up, cast and paced and simply was unable to hold my interest. The score however is very much worth it!

    Yes, he said the movie was........ too weird.

    I love the score!! I have Death Is The Road To Awe on repeat now.
  16. NP: The Spy Who Loved Me: Atlantis Revealed - Yannick "GoldenZen" Zenhäusern

    A bit of an unusual one this. It seems to be a rescoring of the original 1977 film in the style of a John Barry Bond score, that in its more exciting moments uses snippets of the James Bond theme and the melody of the accompanying song.

  17. NP: The Essential Elmer Berstein Collection (Silva, 2005)

    All the talk about Exodus: Orcs, Elves and Pharao promted me to revisit the Ten Commandmends Suite and now I end up listening to all of this fine album.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    NP: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Howard Shore

    Maybe it's just because I'm depressed about real life but on this second listen to the new album I can really identify with those of you are disappointed by and wanted more from these scores.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    NP: 30 COULEUR (Klaus Badelt)

    For a score and film that looks so wild from the cover, this is surprisingly subdued and lyrical. Wish Badelt did more of this kind of stuff.

    I'm not sure that whatever mood it is I'm currently in really affects how much I like or dislike music. For me I think it's pretty consistent - I could be high on life and still dislike The Social Network, and feeling suicidal wouldn't make me love How to Train Your Dragon any less (if anything it would prove there's stuff worth living for!). I'm perpetually baffled by people who do enormous 180-degree turns on scores. With the exception of some James Horner stuff I heard and didn't like when I was like 15, I can't really say that's ever happened to me.

    What is it about this one that isn't satisfying you as much as the other two, Scribe? (I haven't heard it yet)

    Well, there's just as much, if not more, of Shore's random dark meandering (orcy-mousing?) as the previous scores, but no particular attractive big theme is emerging to tie it all together like the Misty Mountain theme or the Tauriel theme. I am not saying there are no new themes, I'm sure there are, I'm just not hearing anything that sticks yet.

    I was just thinking that an inability to reconsider one's opinion and come to a different conclusion is generally associated with fundamentalism (in any area of life) and thus a lack of imagination.
