    Hey hey hey!

    Love in the Time of Cholera is not bad at all.
    A very nice main theme, but a boring now and then.

    That's what i am saying as well, especially the last piece on album which is very, very emotional.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Le premier Cri feels emotionally dry and uninspired and a very disconnected musical experience.


    The concept is that the film follows 48 births around the world, all in different social classes and countries, etc. I haven't seen the film, but with that idea in mind, Amar's music helps me imagine each step of the journey in my head. It seems to me to tell that story very well, film unseen. It's probably most similar to La Terre Vue du Ciel stylistically, but less grave and more gentle.

    I hold to my charge to all who follow: ignore this man. Nothing to see here indeed. biggrin

    Now Cholera, that's what I might call an 'emotionally dry and uninspired (and not so sure about disconnected)' musical experience. tongue

    Well it's not our fault you have a thing for births tongue biggrin The rest of us film music lovers don't share that and will probably find it bland wink

  2. Oh come on, I didn't mean it like that! angry

    I was imagining... I don't know -- 48 couples having sex or something. kiss

    Glad Giacchino is nominated in the best score category in the International Film Music Association Awards, hope he wins (wouldn´t mind if it is an ex-aequo award with Debney´s Lair though tongue ).

    Really? I listened the season 1 cd and was kinda ZZZZZZZzzzzz....are seasons 2&3 in the same vein?

  4. Season 3 is light years ahead of Seasons 1 and 2. I didn't count myself a fan until the 3rd score album.

  5. I've been discovering going back through the earlier BATTLESTAR albums that the themes were pretty much all there, waiting for the drama to use them, and I admire McCreary for that. It doesn't necessrily make those albums better listening, but it explains to me why Season 3 - particularly the first half of the album - pays off so well.

    Demetris, don't know if you've seen this by the composer: http://www.bearmccreary.com/blog/?p=201#more-201

    THE FINAL CUT | brain tyler

    One of my favourites of him. A score with a piano theme that has at least more than 3 notes on it.

    Silvestri's rejected score for Mission:Impossible? How did I miss that? shocked

    I like the three of them actually. Zimmer's take isn't that bad, I think: I actually find it fits the movie like a glove — that is, a so-so score for an average film.

    NP: The New World — James Horner

    Got this one a while ago and have hardly given it a spin, so I'm doing that just now ... and so far, almost half-way through it, this is very charming. I probably won't listen to it again and again, but this is the kind of softness I needed this afternoon.

    I think Elfman's effort is the best, too. And thank GOD Silvestri's was rejected! Truly awful!

    No, i hadn't! Thanks a lot, looks very cool and has a lot of interesting material!

    n.p. BEAR McCREARY - Wrong Turn 2

    Same vein as McCreary's REST STOP and a similar formula: dark electric guitars on distortion and overdrive, full drums' set, gloomy sound design and ominous sfx plus the usual array of middle-eastern plucked string instruments, heavy percussion and McCreary's unstoppable imagination and musical vision. Here, a couple of intense and gripping dance pieces are also written for the score by Captain Ahab in a score that - overall, is certainly not as good as McCreary's BATTLESTAR GALACTICA ones but surely very interesting to say the least.

    Demetris, the first was composed by Cmiral, or something like that.

    I don't think it sounds the same at all? Cmirals was very obvious horror scoring, uninspired and fitting the row of boring horroscores from Hollywood. McCreary goes the cool way with a grungy sound!


    WHITE OLEANDER | thomas newman

    For hardcore Newman fans. Even more experimental and atmospheric than any other score I know of this composer. I'm not a hardcore fan though, but I listen to it now and then, once a year or so, for the very nice pianotheme that opens and closes the score.

    Don´t think about watching the film though. I did it and well, the best I can say is vomit
    But it´s true that the score shined in a pair of scenes in the film (all that can shine in a film like that of course).
