    It is near unbelievable to think this greatness came from the pen of a rugby player.


    Could you repeat that? I didn't quite catch it.

    Crysis 2 Various

    This is...quite fun. I like it!

    Is the third score worth a try?
  6. Third score's basically less of the same, it's not awful, but I'd skip it. Second one, yeah, gets a little generic at times but it has a few cues I quite enjoy (especially Zimmer's title theme and "SOS New York").

    No idea, but have you checked out Crysis Warhead (an expansion pack to Crysis 1). I remember enjoying the music in that that.

    Hans' theme is, to me, the epitome of a guilty pleasure (and the best material he wrote that year). SOS New York is just plain fantastic, hands down.

  9. NP: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1980) - John Williams

    I just played the Concord and Silva version of "Desert Chase" successicely but wasn't able to find out what 45 seconds are actually missing from the shorter version. Can anyone please tell me?

    I approve of the two scores played in the posts above.

  12. NP: STAR TREK THE MOTION PICTURE (1979) - Jerry Goldsmith

    "The Human Adventure is just beginning!" smile
    Can you imagine what promise that tagline held for a 10 year old back in the early 80s? Am I the only one who feels deceived? Even as a 10 year old boy I didn't think the warp drive would become a reality but I certainly expected the scouts auf a peacefully united humanity to explore the solar system.
    Now look at the mess the planet is! Argh! angry

    I am listening to the 25th anniversary album. I own the LLL edition and I sing its praise. Still, as an album presentation I like this older album a lot.

    Man, THE ENTERPRISE is currently playing. What. Fantastic. Music! shocked

    Both versions of THE ENTERPRISE are brilliant! ( I'm of course referring to the LLL release )

    The planet has always been a mess, but progress is slow and painful. Believe it or not, now is the best time to be alive.

    I'm old enough to remember TV scientists saying there would be a mission to Mars by 1980 wink It isn't an unreasonable way to think given the optimism of just having landed men on the Moon.

    True, I suppose I wasn't alive during this era to experience this 'let down', as it were. But we've advanced in countless other ways we would never have guessed. I think when people say things like 'the world's gone to shit', they forget the shit that preceded it and the shit we've overcome.
  17. I surely would not want to live anywhere in the past. I just deamt of a much brighter future, not one where during one week boat people would drown in the Mediterranian in numbers rivaling the Titanic disaster.

    On a different note: From the window of my study I can currently see the very bright narrow sickle of the moon and Venus just in the extension of its axis. That's nice.

    I do my best not to be one of the 'rose tinted glasses' brigade. There's always been shit going on, it'll be overcome and no doubt there'll be shit to replace it.

    True true. Thankfully there are brave and smart people fighting to make those dreams a reality. Me? Well...I did clean my house today. So that's a start.

    Funny though, that from the 1970's until about ten years ago you could fly from London to New York in just over 3 hours compared to 7-8 hours now. biggrin

    Probably the best thing Beal has done, but at 73 minutes the album is about 20 minutes too long.

    Blackwood - Lorne Balfe

    This is really surprisingly good, intelligent grown-up horror/thriller-type music, perhaps the first post-Interstellar score from Remote Control but it's only superficially similar.
    http://www.movie-wave.net | http://facebook.com/moviewave
  30. I've always thought that in RCP Balfe was one to watch. The best "former Zimmer assistant" to have a career since Badelt for sure. The main assistants often became quite good in their own way, see Mark Mancina (early 90s), Harry Gregson-Williams (mid-90s) and John Powell (a short period between Prince of Egypt and Gladiator, yes, even or especialy Thin Red Line).
