- Comment [b]NP: NERVE NET (Brian Eno)[/b] My third favourite Eno solo work, after THE LOVELY BONES and MUSIC FOR FILM. More accessible, some beats, even. Dig those Manchester beats that were prevalent in the early 90s.

- Comment Personally, I love many of the "songtracks" too. They are the CENTER of the film's music, after all, unlike random songs pasted into score albums in our part of the world, which - like you - I tend to program out. But yes -- it's not always easy to find the rare item known as the BGM ...

- Comment [b]NP: JEANS (A.R. Rahman)[/b] I talked to a Sri Lankian film critic in Tromsø in January, and inevitably the discussion went to Bollywood scores and Rahman. Her favourite of his was JEANS from 1998, which her dad used to play all the time when she was a kid, and she was glad that I -- too -- ...

It's all great psybient, however. Mystical, ethereal and often funky too. I wish Posford ...

- Comment [b]NP: TIBET - CRY OF THE MOUNTAIN LION (Jeff Beal & Nawang Khechog)[/b] I've been kinda hooked on New Age/ethnic-style scores recently, which made me go back to this 2003 score by Jeff Beal, before he became famous. Love those vast, echoey ambiances, with gongs, voices and winds.

Pretty interesting; considered doing a mini review of it myself, but now that both you and Jon Broxton have covered it, it's been used. :)

- Comment I've been trying to build my Artemiev collection a bit. I've managed to acquire the Vol. 2 of the Artemiev sets, but still on the lookout for Vol. 1. And URGA, and many others. Before I started to explore his work properly, I didn't realize he had such a rich and huge back catalogue.

- discussion topic NAOKI SATO
- Comment I can appreciate what Sato was doing in the new GODZILLA -- contemporary, classical music tropes, a bit like Goldenthal, but somehow it didn't engage me that much. Also, the Ifukube inserts feel forced and alienating. But hey -- a definite runner-up from last year.

- Comment [b]NP: J'AI RECONTRÉ LE PÈRE NOËL (Francis Lai)[/b] Too late for Christmas, but I love this score. Not the songs, necessarily (although they're nice enough), but Lai's gorgeous synth melodies. I've been on a Lai binge for a couple of months now.

- Comment [b]NP: BERNADETTE (Francis Lai)[/b] Such a beautiful score. Primarily synths, true, and sometimes synths mimicking acoustic ensembles (which is usually a no-no), but somehow I like this. Only 22 minutes, though, which is too little.

My digital collection is now nearing 3000 albums, which I know is peanuts compared to that of you two, Alan and Joep. But still several to go, especially some where it's not easy to find the soundtracks in question ...

- Comment True. Sometimes, there are a bit too many iterations of a theme (ULYSSES' GAZE has never appealed to me, for example), but the soundtracks are often organized in a way that makes their appearances welcome rather than repetitive. She's better than Rachel Portman that way. Favourite Karaindrou is ...
