    Barely noticed and totally excellent is KARAOKE / COLD LAZARUS by Christopher Gunning, I really can't imagine any fan of Jerry Golsmith not liking Cold Lazarus in particular which has a strong hint of JG's style from Total Recall, especially the track The Mutant.


    I'll sign that one. Great album.

    And has anyone here heard or even have Martin Kiszko's ALIEN EMPIRE? This is music for a sci-fi epic but is actually the music for a BBC series about insects, played by the Munich Symphony and conducted by Harry Rabinowitz, this is fantastic music cool


    You've been touting this one for at least 10 years. I should really check it out some day, as I should all those BBC nature series. They have some great music by Fenton and others.


    Cripes yeah! shocked I remember raving on about Alien Empire on the old FSM board, it's a real shame barely any of those old threads are available anymore. sad

    p.s. I just remembered it was me who sent you the Gunning album wink

    Thor, I'd really recommend ( and Martijn will back me big time on this ) Benjamin Bartlett's WALKING WITH DINOSAURS or, ( even arguably better ) WALKING WITH BEASTS where the album is padded out with a fine selection from 'Dinosaurs', superlative scoring and easily in my top 50 all time albums.

    and this Thor, ever heard it / them?

    I would like to mention TaleSpin by Christopher L. Stone. Really underrated score (currently only available as a promo).

    Nope, although I saw bits and pieces of the series when they were shown on Norwegian TV. Can't remember much of the music, I'm afraid.
    I am extremely serious.

    It's exceptional music and works better on CD with the varied motifs and themes well developed, in the series it's quite chopped up.

    I found both of these CDs for about £5 on Amazon, so I'll treat myself for Christmas.

    I should really give this one a spin. You have been talking about it for so long!



    One hidden gem is Dogora by Etienne Perruchon. Big choir and some slavic influence in there.

    The CD Tcikidan is the follow up to the music of Dogora. It is written in the same style but this time, it is with a children choir.

    Possibility to listen to the full disc at musicme.com
    It is also available on itunes.

    Here is a video of the making of the score:

    Thanks for the Tchikidan video. Looks very cool.
    I did listen to half the album on MusicMe. It's nice but I like Dogora better.

    Agreed.
    I frigging love that score, but then I'm a complete sucker for that Slavic sound (especially the more melancholic variant, not that festive, wildly jumping-up-and-down kind). Dogora is gorgeous in that respect.
