    The one and only, true case i drastically shifted (through over a year's period and many, many listens) my mind on a score from one extreme to the other, was with ALEXANDRE DESPLAT's THE PAINTED VEIL, from negative to positive. It hasn't happen since again.

    John Barry's The Lion In Winter

    I bought this when I was a kid and was expecting more Bond like sound and at that time I hated choral music.

    How times change cool

    I hope you're talking about Timmer's change in particular and not generally implying that constantly changing your mind over scores means you're a mature listener 'cause i assure you, you're not! wink

    Believe it or not, it took me a long time to appreciate Goldenthal's Final Fantasy. Words cannot describe how happy I am that I kept giving it tries. It's now in my top five all-time favorite scores.

    I was hard to appreciate for me too. I only enjoyed a couple of tracks in the beggining, and in fact I have to be in a very specific mood to enjoy Toccata and Escape.

    Another scores that I appreciated after looooooooong time are:

    Empire Strikes Back
    Star Trek
    Secret of Nimh
    Black Hawk Down

    Yes, The Emperor's New Groove. Went from my "what the hell did I buy this for?!" list to one of my favourites! spin
  10. The Fellowship of The Ring - Howard Shore

    I bought this on the day that it was released and was eager to hear what Shore had done on this highly-anticipated movie.

    I was very disappointed with what I heard. In some ways it just seemed to drone on an on. But after seeing the movie and listening to it again and again I found that it wasn't long before I loved the music that this CD contained.

    Now, it is my favourite of the 3 scores.

    The score I probably had the greatest change of heart about was the Constant Gardener by Alberto Iglesias. I heard it first without having seen the film, and I thought it was mostly quiet and unmemorable. After I saw the film, I was impressed by how perfectly it matched the film, especially the scene when Justin returned to the house, had flashbacks of Tessa, and was able to express his emotions. I also was impressed with the unusual African instruments that Iglesias was able to incorporate into his score. It took me a long time to appreciate its subtleties, and it's not high on my play list, but I think it's an effective and interesting score now.

    The only REAL change that consistently pops up is that I used to really dislike Leia's theme, because it got in the way of all the cool action cues.
    Of course it's one of my favourite themes ever now.

    I was twelve at the time... shame

    'Justin's Death' is an absolutely perfect simple moment of film scoring.

  16. I must confess a reversal of my own here... As I listen to CASINO ROYALE this morning, I must admit, I was wrong. I thought it was rather bland and overrated.

    It really is one of the worst scores of all time!

    Just kidding... I appreciate it a lot more now. It only took a year. wink

    Medicine Man. I purchased it for $27 at HMV in Toronto and that night gave it a listen on the bus ride home to Hamilton. Turned it off after 3 tracks. Now, at this time I was a relative film music noob who really hadn't explored Goldsmith's music much... I knew of his more popular works but nothing along the lines of his experimentation with electronics and what not. Anyway, the next day I returned the score. I know... without hearing "The Trees" or the wonderful finale tracks... I know. SHOCKERRRRRR!!!

    Anyway, a few years later I get a monster package from Varese with dozens and dozens of their back catalogue for air play on my show. In the box was Medicine Man. I thought I'd give it another try. By this time I was the film music pro I am now... wink ... and listened to the whole thing straight through with a dumb founded look on my face , for sure. I questioned myself, "What DIDN'T you like about this?" For some reason the synths actually enhanced the score and is the reason why I like it so much to this day. Oh yes... and The Trees... John Barry was proud I'm sure.

    That was the day I pulled my first Jordi!

    Finally; that score is kick ass, pure kick ass. Interesting how you took one year to shift ends with this while the same happened to me in the same time span but with THE PAINTED VEIL. We all have our flaws i guess wink

    It happens quite often to me, especially with scores which wouldn´t be part of anyone´s top 100. I often listen to a score and think that it has nothing special about it and put it away to be dealed with later. Since I use scores for RPG background, I often turn to scores I didn´t listen to in a while and which I haven´t been used in games sessions before to get something fresh and new for my players, and it´s then that I turn to many of the lesser known or celebrated scores. I would take two or three and give them a thorough listen, looking out for themes and subtleties, watching for variation and braod emotional range. If I´m decided on a score then, I analyze it exactly track for track to establish its definite uses within the gaming session, and it´s then that I often discover how wonderful and perfect they are in their own right. It happened so often that I can´t name them all, but some of the most memorable ones that I ignored a long time and then discovered to be pure genius while preparing a game have been Restoration and Vertical Limit by JNH.

    I'm sure there are quite a few I could pick out here, but one that comes to mind immediately is Goldsmith's Air Force One, which initially I didn't like much. Not that I actually hated it, I just didn't like it much. I think the primary reason was that, at that time, I had a hard time with overpowering patriotic themes. Well, all that changed, and now I really like Air Force One. Sure, it's far from Goldsmith's best, but it's still one hell of an action-score, and there's one cue that I simply don't understand today why I didn't immediately fall in love with: "The Hijacking".

    As for composers generally, I think Goldsmith is also the one I've come to appreciate more over the past 4-5 years than before. Not so much in the sense of a turnaround, because I never disliked Goldsmith, but mostly because I've simply gotten to know a lot more of his music after I joined Scorereviews and got to talking with all you fine people. He's definitely taken the place, James Horner used to occupy on my list of favourites (although Horner is still on the list).

    Funny enough Medicine Man was one I hated on first hearing, though I didn't have Erik's excuse as I was already a well seasoned Goldsmith fan. Luckily I didn't return it but it was only a few years ago that I finally "discovered" it and what a joyously rewarding score it is.
