  1. NP: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - Howard Shore

    Awesome opportunity for Howard Shore, and he did a wonderful job with it! I'm surprised it didn't catapult him into super stardom like what happened with James Horner's Titanic. A far superior score by Howard. But I guess those were different times. smile

    Most people I know have heard about Shore? I think it got him pretty darn famous actually - at least here in Britain.

    JOHAN SODERQVIST - Let the right one in.

    Immensely beautiful, this man can write heartwarming themes and melodies in the most unexpected places.


    Indeed. "Eli´s Theme" is so BEAUTIFUL I could listen to it the whole day. Top notch scoring.
    Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you
  2. NP: SEEKER: THE DARK IS RISING (Christophe Beck)

    Fantasy score that doesn't pack too many thrilling epic moments, but the ones that are used do provide some wonderful moments
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh

    NP : The Lost Empire / Retribution - Alan Howarth (Silva Screen - FILMCD 068)

    The movie 'The Lost Empire' is somewhat a guilty pleasure of mine .
    It's one of those sooo bad films , they're good ... biggrin
    And I love Howarth's synth soundtrack that accompanies it ...

    I came across these scores when I was checking new titles as digital downloads. I really enjoy The Lost Empire.

    Sometimes you just need a bit of Menken in your life. This is one such time.

    NP : MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME - Maurice Jarre



    After instantly skipping the horrific 1980's power anthems belted out by Ms Turnip we get straight to the meat which is Jarre's fabulous score cool

  4. NP: 25th Hour - Terence Blanchard

    I'm listening to the "Finale" from this score at the moment and, as usual, I'll be crying by the end of it. It's one of the most emotionally charged piece of music I've ever heard. For me, it's just so sad and brings back all the sadness that's touched me over the years.

    But it also has an element of hope and determination that gets me through to the other side of this piece of music.

    One of the tracks that reminds me why I love film music so much - and why I'll trawl through some (what I consider) rubbish being released for a nugget of excellence.

    It's a powerful scene/sequence from the film as well.

    I get a sense from your post that you haven't found much joy in film music lately?

    It's more a statement of a general quantity-over-quality state of things. There's definitely stuff that is very rewarding but it can be quite difficult hunting it down.

    I do have to admit though that for the past few months I've been addicted to random playing my favourite tracks on my mp3 player which means that I have not been listening to very many scores all the way through. I think that over the last few weeks the only "new" CDs I've listened to all the way through are A History of Scotland and Battleforge.

  7. I too have many things unwrapped and awaiting a listen.

    NP: Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (Hisaishi)

    Between this and I Want to be a shellfish, it's been a wonderful year for Joe Hisaishi. He could do a wonderful fantasy animation score in his sleep.

    NP:Transformers (Jablo)

    I love this ultimate high-tech sound.

    Deleting some of the power anthems ( too much and too generic, "optimus" or "the all spark" ) you have a great album!

    "Sam to the roof" beer I love when the decepticons theme appears!

    "frenzy" is deliciously dissonant.

    (Anyway, All this Jabloknsky scores are Zimmer's "injection" with testosterone )
