    Just read over at FSM that film composer ANGELA MORLEY has died sad

    I'm only familiar with one score of hers and that's WATERSHIP DOWN, IMO one of the very best animation scores ever written.

    Morley also did uncredited orchestrations for John Williams including Star Wars and Schindler's List.

    I agreed with him though, if memory serves.

    Debney doesn't use it excessively in Lair so I'm fine with it. It's a cool 4 note motif when played on some decent sounding instruments...although it does always remind me of Zorro. shame

    NP: "Kisses And Cake" from P.S. I Love You - John Powell

    I clearly heard this score in my dream about Zimmer's concert this morning... dizzy

    Nice pleasant score, anyway. I hope I can get the score album someday.

    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Alexandre Desplat

    I like this, I really do, but it's the first Desplat score which I feel is just a little too clinical.

    Yep, that's the only major problem I have with it. It needs to loosen up and and let its hair down... but it never quite does.

    That's part of the reason it appeals to me. It's relaxing. It's nice to have on in the background as well as giving it your attention. Scores like Horner's Iris and The Spitfire Grill, or my personal favourite relaxing score, Williams' Stepmom. Good stuff.

    Then I like Horner's The Spitfire Grill and Williams' Stepmom a lot more, perhaps it is just their style

    Well yeah, they're both very different scores to Desplat's. But they share that vital similarity of being able to relax me... cool

    Bah... go and listen to THE BOY IN STRIPED PYJAMAS if you want those buttons pushed. wink
    (I do think the BUTTON album is a bit longer than it needed to be though.)

    NP: Live at Monterey! (Don Ellis and his Orchestra)

    Magnificent jazz live performance. Not a film score, but it's playing now, and might not be by the time I get to the other thread.

    I sometimes do. Once I heard Rupert Gregson-Williams' Bee Movie in a dream. But today's one is the weirdest, ever.

    I've also had some dreams not so weird. Sometimes I bought rare soundtracks at low prices in dreams... biggrin

    NP : Escape From L.A. (Extended Score) - Shirley Walker & John Carpenter

    I've always been a Carpenter nut and with this OST he shares composition chores
    with the brilliant Shirley Walker . From the start , she puts her cool mark on the "Escape From New York" theme . Highlights on this album though are the action pieces performed by both herself on synthesizers and herself conducting the orchestra . 'Submarine Launch' is electronically fantastic , 'Escape From Happy Kingdom' and 'Crash Landing' are both awesome orchestra pieces .
    A must have in my book ...

    Shirley Walker has been taken away from us far too early ... sad

    Haha, that's true. biggrin I usually don't listen to hardcore, or action stuff, so far.

    It's not because I don't like those kind of scores, though. Actually I want to expand my listening experience (that's why I joined here!)

    But I haven't seen so many kind of films yet. I wasn't a "film goer" until recently, so I only knew about animated films and kiddie films I saw as a child (Homeward Bound, Hook, etc.).

    I started to watch more movies 2 or 3 years ago, but still I'm staying around dramas and comedy/dramas (Shawshank Redemption or Spanglish, for example). Now I'm more interested in darker films, but I still need more time to watch them, and explore their scores.

    The biggest problem is, I have no TV in my flat now... so I have to go to the rental store/theaters and pay to see more films. slant



    And now I'm listening to nothing hardcore at all...

    NP: The Lion King II: Simba's Pride - tons of unknown songwriters
    I must admit I like these songs shame tongue

    I've got Homeward Bound : The Incredible Jouney on TV in the background just so I can listen to Bruce Broughton's score which sounds very enjoyable...except for the cloying schmaltzy bits.
