    Apollo 13 James Horner

    I'd forgotten how good this film was, having watched it recently. A truly inspirational story. People have gone to space, set foot on the moon almost 50 years ago, with technology far less capable than a smartphone. It's incredible. That's the sort of odds they were dealing with. I think Eddie Izzard sums it up quite well:

    "When we landed on the moon, that was the point where God should have come up and said hello. Because if you invent some creatures, put them on the blue one and they make it to the grey one, you fucking turn up and say well done.”

    What's more, Horner turns all that into music. And that's why this score is so great.

    It is a very fine film ( brilliant score ) but the bit about the wedding ring isn't true.

    The film takes a few artistic 'decisions', that's for sure, but I think it mostly works in the service of a larger theme. The launch sequence is the best launch sequence I've ever seen in any film (despite a few dodgy effects showing their age, namely the background looking like it was rendered on an N64).

    I believe that film would have had a doodling synth score in endless loops. tongue
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    Neither is sound in space. Just saying.

    Great "religious" score, this one.

    Never heard it, but count me interested. Harvey seems particularly adept at such landscapes, such as the fantastic "Bliss" track from FIFTY SHADES OF GREY (which outshines anything Elfman did for the film).

    Apollo 13 actually doesn't really have sound in space. When it does, the camera is so close you could just treat it as extrapolating what the astronauts hear from the inside (in fact, Howard alludes at that in the commentary, when he discusses the "pop pop pop pop" moment as something that the astronauts treated as relief during the mission, so they heard it from the module itself).

    And as far as I understand from Marylin Lovell's comments (the commentary track featuring the Lovells), she did lose the ring, but got it back.

    Yeah... no. Every fly by of the rocket in space and you hear a whoosh! And every space shot has a low hum/wind sound. And during the "Adjusting Angle of Re-entry" sequence, the giant rocket and those adjustment puffs, for the lack of a better word, are all making sounds outside of the ship! Inside the ship there's a different sound design.

    But you have to extrapolate all that, Erik. (I'm sure it tells you in the liner notes, which Pawel appears to have read.)
  6. NP: Child 44 - Jon Ekstrand

    Quite an impressive score. Ominous feel throughout with some strong strings.

    THE 33 - James Horner

    It just went up on Spotify. The first two tracks have a lot of Hornerisms you would expect from the setting of the film (some pipes familiar from CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER, lilting guitar playing a melody a lot like the one from the song in MASK OF ZORRO (the first couple bars are identical)). The second track is particularly lovely.

    I'm on "The Collapse" now, which has some real driving force. It reminds me a lot of some of the more intense moments of THE MISSING.

    Ah, sorry, you're right.

    But Richard Harvey definitely wrote those great pieces in DA VINCI CODE. Or was that Richard Hartley? Dammit! Well, he wrote SOMETHING great or another.

    Nightmare on Elm St. - Charles Bernstein

    Funny how tastes change - over and over. Never thought I'd be enjoying a virtually all electronic horror score as much as this again. When I last saw the film about 10 years ago I remember thinking how horribly dated and awful Bernstein's score was. But I love his creepily sinuous theme now and there's more than enough variety to sustain this expanded release.
