    I know, but he dropped all of David Newman's themes, so I was wondering if each film would have its own themes.

    NP:Happy Feet (powell)

    One of the first powell's masterpieces.

    and the movie, a masterpiece too. With the same year's rataouille.


    That is true. So much melody, so much passion, so much heartfelt music. I love every single note in it.


    I like this score a lot, even though there are only a few stand out moments. It's good background music. It really shines when the Land Yacht theme is heard.[/b]


    Land Yacht? Are you sure you're not talking about Sahara? cool

    I like that, a lot. Completely unoriginal but very pleasant as well.

    NP: King Kong - James Newton Howard
    My favourite score of 2005! Beautiful emotional themes and great action music! I hope they release an expanded version of this along with Howard Shore's rejected work! punk


    When asked in an interview if there was a possibility in the near future that his rejected score for King Kong would get a release, Howard Shore said simply 'yes, there is'. Here's hoping it'll be soon!

    Do we know the reason for the rejection? I've been wondering if there's now any bad blood between Peter Jackson and Howard Shore...

    Rambo: First Blood Part II Jerry Goldsmith

    A score for MEN. (And women who enjoy manly scores of course.)

    Interesting topic: by looking at your collection, which genre of film would you say lends itself to the manliest scores?

    1) Martial arts and personal combat stories?
    2) Submarine undersea epics?
    3) Team sports dramas?
    4) Urban cop flicks?
    5) Wartime sagas?

    My vote is on #2. Red October? K-19? Crimson Tide? Literally dripping with testosterone.



    5) Wartime sagas?

    Goes one of two ways, the manly man scores of Rambo and the like, plus you can't get much more manly man than Ron Goodwin's Where Eagles Dare, or the even more "blokey" Schifrin's Kelly's Heroes.

    At the opposite end is Williams silky boy Saving Private Ryan, Kamen's Band of Brothers and any war scene that uses Barber's Adagio For Strings ( make it stop somebody vomit )

    I would add a catagory:
    6) Legend Of the Lone Warrior
    Generally those kind of movies overexposes (in extremis) those traits generally (!) most admired by men: unhampered by emotions, lethally efficient, untouchable, admired by all of womandom.
    Examples are of course Eastwood's The Man With No Name, most James Bond entries, John Wayne, Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin movies, and my personal vote for a Manly Man score: CONAN! By Crom!

    I was playing :The Egyptian (Herrman -Newman)

    I don't know about the opinion about this score, but i think it's a really dissapointment.

    I hardly can listen the whole score, and when I do it it seems rather bland and unmemorable.

    So if anyone help me to enjoy this score...it could be great.

    NP:Cleopatra (Jones)

    In my opinion the most enjoyable of Jones trio of televisions scores. (Merlin has annoying suspense music, and Dinotopia too much mikcey mousing. Both are impressive scores, thought).

    And If you ask me, Cleopatra is what Gladiator or Troy scores lacked: a succefull fusion between Rozsa's old fashioned fanfarres and the new age sound.

    I watched th Jones scored Cleopatra, it's fucking shit! I think the only reason I kept Watching Was because the Cleo actress was continually dressed in see-through clothes!

    Seriously Jordi, stand up so you don't sound so muffled.

    (You're talking out of your arse. That's the joke there. I'm joking about the fact you're talking out of your arse. You, who's name is Jordi, is talking from one's arse.)
  2. lol

    Horner talks out of his ass quite often, actually. I remember him offending Malick in an interview, because he was unable to understand that Malick wants something rather metaphorical than straightforward.

    Dawn of the Dead (1978) - Unreleased Soundtrack Music

    Most of us know the Goblin score for this movie but apart from that there were lots of unknown incidental cues used as well . All the music on this CD is from the De Wolfe , Rouge and Hudson sound libraries and appear together for the first time ever due to the tireless efforts of music and movie nut Joel Martin who's spent the last 7 years digging in the dusty crates of the aforementioned sound libraries offices in search of this elusive music . Well , I as a fan of the movie , love these tracks . It's a weird collection of music that certainly makes for an interesting listening experience . Who doesn't love 'The Gonk' , the shopping mall music used in the film ? It always puts a smile on my face when I play it . Maybe this CD isn't for everybody , but if you're a Romero
    fan , then this is a must have ...

    Now , if you'll excuse me , I'm gonna give the CD another spin ... wink

    hmmmmmmmmmmm... no.
    The only thing decent out of Horner's was Achilles theme, and yared's blows that out of the water.

    It was so funny what they did with horner's score when they released the extended version of troy. They used music from planet of the apes (elfman), starship troopers, and others. The best moments of horner's score were removed, including the achilles theme whenever achilles to kick a**!

    I'm sure we covered this before though.

    Cleopatra is indeed the top of the top. But have you tried Gulliver's Travels? You don't mention that one. It's very mature and rich, even if it's not the masterwork that is Cleopatra.

    Typical golden age stuff: hard to get into or even detect a theme, but it'll potentially pay off with repeated listenings.
