JOHN DEBNEY - the stoning of Soraya M.
A good score, a satisfying listening experience, well-built and with surprisingly strong thematic material. The use of instrumentation (duduk and female vocals) as well as the arrangements will always send to the far superior PASSION OF THE CHRIST though, a score the stoning of Soraya M is bound to crawl under.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Patton (Jerry Goldsmith)
I like this for the brilliant themes, but otherwise this is very restrained scoring from the master, I like it though, but it's not one I put on regularly. The Patton theme as well as the german theme though are top notch, but I think the score is too short so it's already over by the time the score has developed into something interesting. I prefer his thematically rich stuff from a decade later on.
3.5 STARS
The Twins Effect (Chan Kwong Wing)
This score for the Hong Kong action film is like a mix of different styles of music all tucked together. Light jazz, piano music, techno tunes and conventional thematic writing, there's even a cue which accompanies a cell phone call. Consistency is hard to find here, but there are some great tracks, especially those with choir and which have a certain gothic feel to them. If the whole score could have been like those tracks this would have been truly awesome.
3.5 STARS"considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

What about track 16, "The Stoning of Soraya M."?Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

Played today:
E Ridendo L'uccise by Ennio Morricone
very nice renaissance-flavoured music with the additional choir, another gem from the Maestro
Band of Brothers by Michael Kamen
I bought this on some board members' suggestion but I couldn't finish my first listening because I had to come to work. So far: the first four cues are great, the following five haven't had much impression on me. I will continue listening to it later on -

NP: Valkyrie - John Ottman
My second go at it and it confirms my initial assessment of the score. It's really, really, REALLY good. Top 10 of the year? Maybe. It's a long score and while things to slow down considerably in the middle of the album Ottman does enough for you to keep listening on. And you are rewarded at the end of the score with one of the best cues of the year "Long Live Sacred Germany."
This is probably my biggest surprise of the year!

HEAVY METAL - Elmer Bernstein
If scores were physiques this one would be Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime, a seriously great and muscular score.
NP : THE BEYONDNESS OF THINGS - John Barry
Gorgeously deep resonating orchestration, a true joy from beginning to end

This is as 5-star as they get in my book. "German March" (aka "Winter March") is one of those pieces which is just heavenly to me; and of course the main theme is another. -

I think it's a Goldsmith classic. So well spotted in the film, less is more. -

It seems we have at least four things in common then. In true MT fashion, I think we should now discuss cheese.
And now for something completely different...

It isn't George C. Scott, it isn't Patton, but it is Goldsmith and cheese. And I LOVE IT! -

Yeah, it doesn't hold up well. The sneak peak cues on Debney's site shows potential. But the full album is tiresome. The three best cues are the last three tracks. It's one of his better dramatic works but doesn't come close to Passion or Dragonfly.

To the admirers of Patton, I get it why you rate it so highly, it's of course Goldsmith doing what he does best, but are you in the possession of some expanded album or something, because I was talking about the 35 minute long one, and while I think it's reasonable, it just doesn't send me soaring to film score heaven. Goldsmith wrote much better in his career. Also, I've never seen the film, so that must be where my ignorance comes from."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

It's not for everyone. You are in possession of the full thing, it's a very short score. And all the better for it! It does help to have seen the movie to see how great a score it is.
But the theme can be appreciated regardless of whether you've seen the film or not I think. -

Just because it's a 5 star score doesn't mean that Goldsmith never wrote another 5 star score. But Patton is pretty much as perfect of a score that you will ever hear!
