[Closed] Now Playing XVII

A pot of what? Damn you, Sir, finish your sentence! A pot of WHAT?

Depends on the language

In Hebrew pot means...

pussy

Interestingly in Dutch a "pot" is also a rather unkind vernacular for a lady who revels in the Sapphic arts of love, hence "a pot of Mary Jane" making me raise an eyebrow or two.

I'd bet there's a serious link to the origin of the word 'pot' in your quote.

What a great idea....


NP : THE LAST VALLEY - John Barry



Close enough?

It's been some time since I've been in a mood to listen to John Barry.... sometimes you just have to wait until you feel the spark again.

NP: Waltz with Bashir (Max Richter)

I enjoy this score a lot.

NP: Rob Lane - MERLIN

Yeah!

Edit: The Tournament Begins -
Edit #2: Meeting Arthur - Well, it´s more like Ewoks in Camelot!
Edit #3: Merlin Lost - beautiful
Edit #4: Arthur´s Final Battle - YAY!!!!
Edit #5: The Witch´s Aria - It´s way over the top. Maybe that´s why I like it!
Edit #6: The Call of Destiny - In the end, a very short suite of the best themes. A great way to end this release...

Final verdict:
It´s great to get those themes so early, while the series is still running. The whole family is enjoying the series, and we´ve been waiting eagerly for the music. There is no need to tell you that the main theme is utterly fantastic and put to great use on the series and the score. The dramatic stuff is great as well. Some of the comedy stuff would be too much for this setting normally, but since I know what the actor´s are doing there I know that the music is the perfect choice for those scenes.

Obviously, the music for the Valiant episode is the best of the first three. I wasn´t too happy that the tracks are presented out of order, but this way, the whole album certainly feels more coherent and makes for a probably better listening experience. With just above 45 minutes, the length is okay, but not too satisfying. I want more, and fast!

Overall, I´m happy with this very fast release. Of course everything I wanted from the first three episodes is included, but if this early release means we won´t get the music from later episodes, I would have preferred to wait a bit longer. I understand the motivation behind it, but let´s hope it sells well enough to make another release possible. I certainly did what I could to make it happen.

DANNY ELFMAN's WANTED while wrapping up my review....oh this is good.

I'm still in a cartoony mood, so...

NP: Rescuers Down Under -Bruce Broughton

What a great score, especially in the opening, the flight scene, Message Montage scene (without music this scene would be nothing but just arrows flying over the map), and brilliant End Credit!

The Three Musketeers -Kamen
A Kamen favorite for me.

I would just about kill for an expanded version of this.
Haha, I think I listened to it about 5 or 6 times yesterday...

That one, and Robin Hood, Prince Of Thieves (which I like even better than Three Musketeers.). I'm not into Kamen much at all, but these two earn him a spot in my most-played list.

Just played: The Three Musketeers - Michel Legrand
This is the 1973 (and superior) version of the story, with a superb cast and marvellous scripting. I can see where Timmer would prefer this score over Lalo Schifrin's The Four Musketeers, as it's flamboyant, quirky and contains a heavy helping of tongue-in-cheeck baroque, but it's the latter score -if only for the excellent and heartrending Athos' Theme that still retains my preference.
In fact, I think I'll play it now.

I know.
Like I said: merely a preference.
Both are excellent!

Give it up Jordi, put it away for a year or more and then come back to it and see if you like it? All of our taste change over time, you may find you like it one day.....or maybe never!??

Indeed, this is a score that needs an official complete release.

tsk tsk Stavi
