    A fine score. A bit too much at times, but minor qualms. I also like the whole album, including the songs (always been a fan of Leftfield's "Release the Pressure").
    I am extremely serious.

    NP: Crimson Peak - Fernando Velazquez

    Stunning. Achingly beautiful. At times terrifying. Gorgeous music. One of the year's best!

    NP: Jeepers Creepers - Bennett Salvay

    Superior horror scoring. Unsettling quieter moments pepper the bold, brassy action scoring and there's a surprisingly tender theme in the mix too.


    I love both scores. The brass writing is phenomenal. And yes it helps if there are themes that guide the material.
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh

    NP: Tales of Halloween - Various Artists

    A horror anthology with contributions by close to a dozen different composers including Lalo Schifrin who provides the film with a sizzling main title theme!

  6. Broken Arrow - Hans Zimmer

    This is in my top 5 ! As an action score it's relentlessly awesome, but I admit I prefer it in its 59 minute edition. I adore this Zimmer sound, and almost everything from that point in his career.

  7. NP: Spectre - Thomas "Gun Barrel" Newman (2015)

    Yes, I see why this is a let-down for many. For me it's intoxicating. For each their own.

    I'm liking his Bond scores. Considering he is one of the last high-profile composers I ever expected to end up doing a Bond score, given his usual style. He makes it his own, in my opinion, and I respect that.

    Yeah, I think it's a great complement to Skyfall, if not better than that score.
  10. NP: Supergirl (1984) - Jerry Goldsmith

    This score makes for a rather nice listening experience though I think my Silva album's duration is a bit long. In any event, this score never leaves a lasting impression. I can't put my finger on what's wrong here. It's not a score that I return too very often. Maybe it's too simplistic.

    That overture, first and last track ! If that doesn't leave a lasting impression, nothing will... shocked

    The Monkey King - Christopher Young

    punk

    Track 9 which ROCKS for most of its 17 minutes. cheesy

  12. It rocks for about 13 minutes and then is beautiful for the remaining 4. Not a whole lot to complain about there!

    Excellent horror score from a fine composer.

  15. NP: En Mai, Fais Ce Qu'Il Te Plaît - Ennio Morricone

    This is such a beautiful score. Lush and melodic with darker tones, the opening and closing tracks are especially memorable.

    I recommend it to everyone.

    Really like it. Either I've become very easily pleased, or 2015 really has been an excellent year for new film music.

  21. I've been listening mainly over and over again in October, "Something Wicked This Way Comes".

    Horner's score is wonderful and goes with the month, to me.


    When I think of October, I think of the opening monologe from the film (apparently added to the film after they dumped Delerue' score [amongst other changes]), which I'm going to try and reproduce from memory:

    First of all, it was October; a rare month for boys. Full of sleepless nights, and broken promises. The days shorten, shadows lengthen, and the air warms in such a way you feel you could run forever, for just ahead, lie ten thousand pumpkins waiting to be cut.



    I have a checklist for October that's my own tradition:

    1. Watch SWTWC.
    2. Listen to both SWTWC scores.
    3. Watch the Garfield Halloween special.



    While I didn't end up getting to see the film (by the way, how awesome would it be to have the original cut with Delerue's score in tact?), I did however hand out candy and scare the crap out of some kids. Halloween trick-or-treaters have changed; you miss ten plus years of handing out candy and it changes behind your back. I hid on the dark and have a red-light flashlight to shine onb my face -- some kids skipped by me, they were so terrified.



    Well, now on to November, where each year it's turning out more and more that "The Thorn Birds" is my score of choice for the month. I already have one tradition for November: watch "Planes, Trains & Automobiles", but it's been years since I could do that.

    In film music terms there is literally nothing more precious to me than new music by Ennio Morricone, who turns 87 next week but has seemingly lost none of his spark following the longest "lay-off" of his career (it has been 29 months since his last new score, comfortably the longest gap there has ever been; but the good news is that he's already recorded his next two!)

    This is a sublime score, a warm nostalgic glow running through much of it but as you say, with those darker tones too. (Some of the string writing actually reminds me of Bernard Herrmann.)

  24. NP: Zipper - H. Scott Salinas

    An oppressive feel of a score: ostinato patterns & dark strings give variety to this. There doesn't seem to be much to it but it's interesting nonetheless.

    Can't wait for The Hateful Eight.
  26. NP: Journey To Space - Cody Westheimer

    I remember not thinking much of this when I first heard it. But now I have warmed more to Westheimer's choice of music. For a movie documenting NASA's contributions to space exploration, the music is confident and somewhat advertorial.

    But surely a composer of Westheimer could have been allowed to compose his own music for "Mars" rather than just reworking Holst's efforts.

    Ja, found it. You can pre-order it at Chris' Soundtrack Corner.

  28. Basic Instinct Goldsmith

    I had always been happy with the original album as it was and didn't pick up the previous expansion but I'm really enjoying this new Quartet release of the full score. It really works for me in complete form and the sound quality is absolutely terrific. The blend of electronics and orchestra is sublime.
  29. NP: Star Wars II: Attack of the Clowns (2002) - Johnny E-Guitar Williams

    So much attention to detail, so much love and tenderness. I just love the quite parts of this score that accompany the love story. (One has to wonder where JW took his inspiration from, given those awkward scenes with Anakin and Padme.) Also great is the tribal flair of the early action music.
    I like the film though I think it is the weakest in the series. I can't see how this should have affected the score that is IMO a great addition to the musical Star Wars universe.

    His own Jane Eyre score and Nino Rota.

    My least favourite Star Wars score by a county mile. A whole lot of noodling and not much substance. And the film is dog shit! Pure dog shit!
