NP: Vertical Limit - James Newton Howard
I don't see this one mentioned very often here. Any other fans?
A very good Newton Howard score. The first thing I did after watching the movie was buying the cd. The main theme is so addictive!
One of my favourite modern action scores which isn't written by Goldsmith. In fact I'm going to listen to it now. -

NP: Magdalene - Cliff Eidelman
Rarely do you get film scores like this these days. A score written with such care, passion and beauty hitting upon all the right emotions. What is even more shocking is that Eidleman had only graduated weeks before when he began working on this score. He was offered a gigantic symphony orchestra, flown to Munich, wrote the score and had the Munich Symphony perform it. While the performances are off, Madelene is still a massive orchestral and choral score that takes some considerable talent to pull off. And here is Cliff Eidleman at 25 doing it! Wow!
And here is one of my favorite film music quote of all time... from the liner notes.
"Imagine how I felt when, in 1988, I was offered my first feature. The producer Ernst R. von Theumer and writer/director Monica Teuber visited my apartment and asked me the big question; "How many musicians will you need?" I told them seventy would be sufficient for a nice, rich sound. Emst replied, "Why seventy when you can have one hundred and twenty?"

I was Playing : 13 warrior (Goldsmith)
I'm still in my battle about what score I prefer : The Mummy or 13 warrior.
First Knight it's the most complete overall, but it lacks the exotic feeling.
NP:MOH Underground (Giacchino)
I was forgott how good this score is.
The french touch, the dark mood of some tracks and the nazi's theme much more used.
A real Winner!
Before I will Play: Marco Polo (Morricone).
Wow...A great, great score. -

And why would Goldsmith want to evoke an exotic feel for a medieval tale about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table?
As for 13th Warrior and The Mummy... love them equally.

I know , I know. I just love exotic themes.
So the first Knight lacks of the Exotic feeling (obviously), The Mummy contains some annoying things (the heroic theme and the "mummy" dissonant music) and 13 warrior lacks of vibrant action music.
Anyway, this is my order of preference.
All of them rocks!!! -

The heroic theme and 'dissonant' music (wherever that might be) is annoying? Lay off the wacky backy Jordi. Everything about it, every theme, fit the film like a glove. I like that Goldsmith didn't need a million and one notes to induce excitement in his music, that truly is becoming a lost art. -

NP: Triumph of the Spirit - Cliff Eidelman
I think I've said what I've had to say about the early works of Cliff Eidelman. I will tell ya though, it's great to hear three masterpieces (listened to ST:6 earlier in the day) written by one composer that all came out around the same time... especially from a composer in his mid-20's. Triumph is another beautifully crafted score for orchestra and choir. Gorgeous stuff!

I used it in a gaming session where the characters had to travel a hazardous mountain pass, and combined it with King Kong for some Giant Yeti appearances. There were priceless faces everywhere. Great fun! -

Trevor Rabin - Gridiron Gang
This, that you're playing a recent Rabin score, reminded me of THE GUARDIAN. I heard the wonderful suite and i believe that non-releasing this was a very large omission....i wonder if it ever will.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

NP: Altered States - John Corigliano
Just finished reading an interview with Corigliano in the book THE SCORE: INTERVIEWS WITH FILM COMPOSERS and thought I'd put this one on. It's been years. Talk about a demanding listen. Completely fucked up but it's so incredibly beautiful at the same time. While it all sounds random this is truly the work of a brilliant and gifted musician. And out of this madness comes a achingly beautiful love theme heard during "First Hallucination." This is a very raw, complex, experimental, primitive, and one of the most influential scores of the 80's. So much so that it inspired composers such as Elliot Goldenthal (Corigliano's own student) and Christopher Young.
What a trip!
i think I'm going to play REVOLUTION and THE RED VIOLIN after this. And one day I'd like to hear more of his concert work.

NP: Road To Perdition - Thomas Newman
One of my favourite scores of the decade, this is just one sublime piece of music. That opening cue is an absolute stunner, as are Cathedral, Ghosts and Road To Perdition.
Gorgeous stuff.

The 13th Warrior and lacks vibrant/action music can NOT BE in the same sentence.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

There are some 3 action cues in 13th Warriors vs... a gigantic load of action cues in The Mummy.

What exactly is vibrant action music anyway? The action writing in The 13th Warrior sounds fantastic to me, and if that isn't "vibrant", then I'm not quite sure what is? Please do explain it to me, for I seem to lack the appropriate knowledge. -

It's a FANTASTIC score IMO, a truly challenging listen but one I've returned to many times. I hesitate to recommend it as a 'must have', this type of atonal scoring really isn't everyones cup of tea.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Eh? I thought Jordi just wanted more exciting (vibrant) action music, and was not complaining about the lack of energy (vibrancy) in the music.
