NP: Midnight Express (1978) - Giorgio Moroder
Not only a great film score but also one of the greatest electronica scores ever.
This whole Midnight Express against Superman thing repeated itself three years later with Raiders of the Lost Ark and Chariots of Fire.
The revolution in electronic music, brought about by the use of sequencers, coincided with the return of lush, romantic orchestral film scoring. Great times.

NP: THE LIBERATOR (Gustavo Dudamel)
Who would have thought that Dudamel had it in him to compose such a lush score! Great conductor, sure, but film composer? Certainly took me by surprise.I am extremely serious. -

The Land Before Time Horner
One of my absolute favourites, a sublime score. I know it's dripping with classical influences but I just don't care and there's no way that the direct quotes of the trapping the wolf motif from 'Peter and the Wolf' for the trapping of the T-Rex at the end of a children's story is a mistake! -

Sinister - Chris Young
One of my top 5 favourite composers of all time but I have no hesitation in saying this is probably his worst - or at least most unlistenable - score. With endless vocal and other distortions it comes across as more sound design than anything approximating music. -

The main theme alone is exquisite. Burwell's all round class really shines through in this little gem. -

Exactly. Chariots of Fire is a catchy theme and nothing more. Raiders of the Lost Ark is a catchy theme that serves as the cornerstone of a brilliant composition. -

The 33 - James Horner
A good theme (and I'm not talking about the one from "Glory"), a good action cue and lots of low-key, morose string writing. I'm not going to pretend that this is top-notch Horner but it feels like everything we get from him now is a gift. -

I think you need to listen to that score again. There's a lot of great tracks beyond the iconic theme, like the gorgeous cue "Five Circles".I am extremely serious. -

NP: El Cid for Organ (2015) - Miklos Rozsa
Transcribed and performed by Philipp Pelster, Taru Erlich (Violin)
This is outstanding!
In contrast to Poledouris, organ transcriptions aren't entirely new to the world of Rozsa, if we consider "The Twelve Choruses".

I have no problem with synths at all!
In fact, I really enjoy much of Isao Tomita's groundbreaking work, and in soundtracks I think the synth work from Tangerine Dream, Jan Hammer, Brad Fiedel or Christopher Franke is excellent! But I sure as f*ck wouldn't give them a consideration OVER masterpieces such as Superman or Raiders Of The Lost Ark!

The 33 James Horner
Given the descriptions in the track titles, I have a suspicion this is not a film that I'll connect with. The music is paint-by-numbers by Horner's standards. A few nice bits here and there, and I enjoy the pan flute-type music, but this isn't one I'll ever return to. Still, it's better than Southpaw (though not quite as good as Wolf Totem).
His last truly great score was Avatar. -

I haven't heard THE 33 yet, but I think that is a likely evaluation, yes. Although I must say I'm quite curious about Antoine Fuqua's upcoming THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN remake, which Horner allegedly wrote the score for before he passed (and before the film was even shot?).I am extremely serious. -

I like the scores. I saw the first season and got quickly bored by it. A load of overated revisionist toss.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I also saw the first season and felt lukewarm about it. It felt like a remake of "Upstairs, Downstairs". But, yes, the score is fine. I got that best-of compilation.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
