    NP:Yared (troy)

    Even if I think it's too BIG, It doesn't mean I don't like it.

    I Like it a lot!!!Specially the most intimate tracks.

    And Im agree with Demetris, sometimes the first notes of some themes are exactly the same notes of horner's themes from his Troy.


    After I will Play : Quantum of Solace (Arnold)

    God, im addicted to this. It's a mix between Arnold and powell. ironically Powell sometimes is a mix of Arnold dizzy

    I can't wait to know for who is the motif heard in "night at the opera"!!!!
  2. Horner's Achilles theme is partly taken note for note from Dmitri Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony

    Well, did you know that the Main Theme from Star Wars - Episode 1: The Phantom Manace is a note for note rip off of the Main Theme from Star Wars - Episode 4: The Movie formerly known as Star Wars? I´m not sure Williams will survive the court martial he´s facing for that one.

    Horsefeathers. Next you'll tell us that Goldsmith used his Star Trek theme for another related TV show. rolleyes



    NP: Broken Trail, by some two guys
    Nothing much to say. Chinese stuff and western. Maybe it'll get non-generic after a while.

    Indeed. You may like the result or not (I liked it, overall) but to write/record two hours of music in two weeks has to be really stressing. Horner saw something in the project that really made him go for it (besides money of course).

    Too right! Horner's is so plainly better it's a miracle anyone still goes on about the other one.

    In all seriousness... while Yared's is fine music, beautifully-crafted, it's just as indebted to the classics as Horner's is. And while Horner may have employed a few similar choices to Yared, I wouldn't say the two composers' approaches are all that similar overall. Yared went for the "THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SCENE IN THE HISTORY OF FILM!" approach FOR EVERY SINGLE SCENE! and Horner went for the Hollywood schmaltz approach. Only one of those was ever going to make it as a film score in 2000s Hollywood.

    Stop defending their (Hollywood's) stupidity. MOST IMPORTANT SCENE IN THE HISTORY OF FILM kicks SCMALTZ APPROACH'S ass! I'm really sick and tired of the "old fashion is bad" sensibility. Sorry, just venting here. Yared's score would have worked wonders.

    NP: Gladiator - Hans Zimmer

    Got the urge to play this because I just heard Barbarian Horde playing during a battle scene in a TV show in the morning!! They also played Burn It Down from Van Helsing and Molossus from Batman Begins during that scene dizzy

    And now I'm off to prepare for the most grand festival of the year here - Diwali! punk

    I love old-fashioned! I do prefer Horner's score as music, but I can certainly feel for Yared because I get the impression he was only doing what the director told him to do, and to still get rejected is very harsh on him. The only defending of the decision I can do is that I get the impression Yared scored the film as if it were a serious historical movie (which it isn't) whereas Horner scored it as if it's Hollywood fluff (which it is) and so his score probably makes the film a bit more tolerable. It would be nice to see it with Yared's score restored though, so we could all make up our own minds instead of speculating.

    Diwali cool

    I was in Varanasi ( Benares ) when that happened and millions ( literally ) of people descended on the city....too much for me and I had to leave. I've never seen such vast amounts of people in my life, before or since shocked

    NP : THE THING - Ennio Morricone



    Seems to fit perfect with the "odd" light and coldness of today here in my city.

    Hehe, yeah! But it's as dangerous as exciting!! Right now there was an accidental fire in one of the fireworks stalls only a stone's throw from our house. What followed was a miniature missile-shootout scene tongue There was an ambulance called, some people have allegedly been hurt in the incident slant

    NP: El Cid, Miklos Rozsa
    Finally came in the mail last night. It's all been said before, I can add no more.

    Horner vs. Yared: I looove old fashioned scores (as exemplified by the above selection) but I love Horner's emotion (schmaltz), too. Why can't the two styles be combined? That would be an ideal score, to me. That's why Michael Kamen was truly a master.

    What is Diwali? I'm afraid I'm ignorant, and morbidly curious.

  24. Diwali is a very traditional Indian festival. Ravi should expand on it though, because that's all I know smile

    I don't remember very well but it's something to do with the moon ( full moon? no moon? half moon? ) and the spiritual triumph of good over evil. There's more but my memory is poor concerning this.

    Evocative film, too. Have you got the expanded French release of the score? Although I don't regret it at all, it's not entirely worth it unless you're an obsessive completist. It only has marginally any new material at all.

    NP: El Cid.
    Still not quite done yet. o_o

    I know there isn't much more on the French Papillon release but I think it is worth it just to have "Catching Butterflies" and "Arrest". I love the gentle yet flighty form of the former track!

    So, you survived El Cid!
    It's ok. I just feel it's lacking something. Way to thin sounding and needs to be a lot longer.
    Aaaaaaaand I'm totally kidding! It's one of the most awesome releases in a long, long time! cool

  30. Popped on a few tracks before bed:

    "The March of The Villians" - Superman: The Movie - John Williams
    "Lover's Ups and Downs" - Food of Love - Carles Cases
    "Richard, Duke of York" - Looking For Richard - Howard Shore
    "Theme" - The Saint - Edwin Astley
    "Prayers For The Missing" - J-ok'el - George Shaw
    "Return To The Present" - Somewhere In Time - John Barry
    "The Battle" - The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe - Harry Gregson-Williams

    I downloaded Wolfram de Marco's Loft earlier tonight and gave it a quick scan through. I really like what I assume is the main theme (heard in the first track) and the 12-minute cue "Casino" could be a track of the year contender?
