    NP: Babe - Nigel Westlake

    This is a fantastic new recording of the complete score celebrating the 20th anniversary of the film.
    In Australia the movie had a "live concert set to film" event in Melbourne and the score has had minor changes in orchestration and tempo. So it sounds fresh and new and dialogue free.
    A great companion piece to Westlake's wonderful Paper Planes score!


    Where can we get this?

  1. For most of the day I've been hunting down some good quality versions of some scores from old silent films and I'd recommend these versions of silent films that have had their scores re-recorded (a bit like the recent version of Huppertz's Metropolis).

    Die Nibelungen Teil 1: Siegfried - Gottfried Huppertz
    https://youtu.be/imsbPRhsbLo

    Die Nibelungen Teil 2: Kriemhilds Rache - Gottfried Huppertz
    https://youtu.be/TbbTdd-By8s

    Nosferatu - Hans Erdmann
    https://youtu.be/FUh6P2xjCd8

    Reconstructed as best they can, there's some excellent music in all. And in such quantity (if the reconstructions are accurate).

    That's where I got mine. Walked in yesterday and picked it up.
    So, you can order it from there or the ABC Shop here in Australia.
    However, I will be in England in 6 weeks if anyone would like a copy hand delivered.

    I'm all over that mate, will be heading to JB shortly!

    Demolition Man - Elliott Goldenthal

    The electronics don't bother me a bit in this. The action cues are all dynamic and the futuristic setting means that the fusion of sounds feels perfect. Favourite cue however is the brilliant 'Machine Waltz'.

    I think Demolition Man is a great score, the short running length is perfect!

  2. NP: Judge Dredd (1995) - Alan Silvestri
    The recent expanded release.

    Alan Silvestri in top form. I love this score. Curious I wasn't that impressed when I listened t it on the original release. I don't think that has to do with the presentation. I just react differently to scores at different times.

    NP: AN AMERICAN TAIL - FIEVEL GOES WEST (James Horner)

    It's a fine score indeed, but it pales in comparison to the first, which is basically a masterpiece. A bit too mickey-mousing and stuff.
    I am extremely serious.

    Well well, this is a very nice surprise, because that Varèse release is plain awful really.

    I'll be ordering this, thanks for mentioning it here. wink

    Tomorrowland Michael Giacchino

    What an incredible year for Giacchino. Jupiter Ascending remains my favourite, now in my top three Giacchino scores. But this and Jurassic World aren't far behind.

    NP: The Librarians - Joseph LoDuca

    Fun, energetic score filled with themes, melodies and heart.
    Tut tut Mr. LoDuca. Get with the times! Too much eighties-style goodness to be found here.
    Seriously though, I've always enjoyed his Librarian scores and this entry for the new series really shines!

    After watching the utterly woeful remake last week, the music from the original has been up front in my brain box. amazing, amazing stuff!

  6. BRAVEHEART - James Horner

    This is just so excellent. I suppose I should seek out the "More Music from Braveheart" album, but I never have. Are there really cues from the score any better than the ones already on this album?

    The original is all I own. This is one of the few scores where I'd really like an expanded version.

    And on iTunes (American store, at least).
  7. I tracked down all the songs from the movie MANHUNTER - so i'm going through a playlist of those. Some good, some cheesy, but entertaining nonetheless.
  8. NP: Field of Dreams (1989) - James Horner

    This is the third album that I bought inspired by discussions that arose after the composer's tragic passing. As a rule I am not into sport movies, Chariots of Fire being the big exception. So I never saw Field of Dreams and I can't comment on this score in context.
    This album is a convenience store of styles, featuring ambient electronica, piano solo, guitar solo, pop and big band swing. And a full blown orchestral finish. It's all very nice. Sweet melodies. As a listening experience though it's too inconsistent for my taste. Knowing the film probably would help.

    I'm not too fond of sports movies either (they're generally bad, or I don't have any connection to the sport in question -- like all the American baseball or American football movies), but this is more about the relationship between a son and his father, plus a sort-of time travel/fantasy element, so it's something else altogether.

    Gorgeous score. I disliked it in my youth (and traded it off), but have come to love it as I've grown old and weary.
    I am extremely serious.

    I ADORE Silvestri in 80's Synclavier modus, and that is -- in fact -- going to be one of my first questions to the man if I ever get to do my interview in Ghent in October. Whether he likes it or not! smile

    It's not a sports film at all. In fact, it had two people who either don't know baseball (James Horner) or hate it altogether (James Earl Jones) working on it.

    Horner was hilarious in the interview, when discussing baseball, he mentioned the "50 yard line" biggrin

    I just saw an interview the other day in which Horner and the director of that film talked about him composing the first 2/3 of that score "on the spot." I guess "composing" it right there with the orchestra? Whatever that means, I think the score suffers for it. That last cue is one of Horner's greatest compositions ever, though.

    On a semi-related note, I've heard that a good deal of his THE 33 score was also composed during the recording session.
