    NP: 2:22 (Lisa Gerrard & James Orr)

    One of the year's highlights for me, especially when I managed to boil it down from an insane 90-minute program to 48 quality minutes. Maybe I should be a record producer after all? wink


    funny case with me, i used to be big fan of lisa gerrard when gladiator came out and researched her older solo material. now i can't stand here sub-standard-all-the-same wailing at all.


    There is very little 'wailling' in this score. In fact, the vocals are fairly limited. It's just a gorgeous electronica score that shines once you've boiled it down to some 50 minutes.

    Whazzap with the Broughton walkthrough?


    perhaps it's got more to do about the recent output, and that sometimes it's so good to return to the good old days of music. Where even the so called weaker scores turn out to be better than most of today's output wink

    NP: VICEROY'S HOUSE (A.R. Rahman)

    Beautiful. One of my favs this year.

  9. Matthew Margeson - Eddie the Eagle

    Because if you're making a film about an infamous ski jumper there's nothing better than pulling out a Days of Thunder. Unabashed 1980s homage with a lot of heart, this score. And a great theme to boot!

    The film was absolutely dreadful (the least of which was everything they got wrong about the sport itself), but the score was one of the VERY best last year. Absolutely brilliant pastiche! A shame it had to be associated with such a stupid movie.

  11. It did get the sport wrong (though rarely the dangers of ski jumping are given prominence in ANY discussion on the sport unless you pull off a Thomas Morgenstern), but I found the movie very cute in a, well, Cool Runnings kind of way. At least somebody discussed the sport in mainstream cinema.

    And it REALLY had heart.

  16. NP: Waterworld (1995) - James Newton Howard

    This is rock solid action and adventure scoring with some beautiful melodic highlights. Still I can't muster the enthusiasm some fellows across the boards hold for this score, including our Music Prince of Norway.

    oh, so you think I judge a score from before I heard it? Every score gets a fair chance with me. From the smallest little unknown score to the biggest blockbuster. I can agree with the fact few composers thrill me nowadays, and that I get my satisfaction from older scores.

    I however have heard over 400 scores per year (meaning titles most haven't even heard about), and I can honestly say, most of the old ones (even the ones we called average back then) still have much more to offer than those.

    I'm not biased, I hear what I hear. Times have changed. But a movie is still a movie. It still has a story to tell. Music still needs to tell its story through emotion, themes, melodies or ideas. And I know those ideas are sometimes nowhere to be found.

    So don't make an assumption thinking you know me, because you don't

    I'm with you. It has some great highlights and is a very fine score but it isn't one I often reach for when I want a JNH fix.

    Guess who I'm listening to.

    Rescuers Down Under

    Good fun and a very nice theme.

    O Pioneers

    A bit monothematic for my taste but it's a very good, sweeping, Lonesome Dove-type theme.

    You can't really blame them with DUNKIRK (the score) being one of the most major films this year and having a score like that wink still some good stuff however, thank God for Giacchino. But 2017 is weak so far.

    NP: THE BFG (John Williams)

    Whimsy and fluttering flutes galore! And what the hell is Americana doing in such a quintessentially British story? Missed opportunity for a composer who has so often nailed the gorgeous, pastoral "English sound".

    n.p. Fernando Velazquez- Lope

    Love, love this man. When he's not going into dark bassy drones that get him all tired and completely uninspired, just to pay the bills like all the rest, he can create some truly wonderful themes.

    NP: MORIBITO: GUARDIAN OF THE SPIRIT (Naoki Sato)

    The album is a bit too long at 80 minutes, but there is rarely a track that doesn't deliver. It's a shame it doesn't have a commercial release (it was a 2016 Japanese TV show).

    The main theme. When I first heard it in Cannes, during the red carpet session outside the Palais, I thought it was something from LINCOLN that I had forgotten.
