Ryuichi Sakamoto even!?
No, Ryuichi Sugimoto is a famous Peruvian hammond organ player, specialising in easy-listening lounge covers of 80's rap songs. Apparently he's all the rage in gay bars, Taliban outposts and Rotterdam.'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

What about Ry Cooder - The End of Violence, i've never heard anything by him.
Cooder always writes slightly estranging, more-often-than-not guitar-driven, minimalist, folk-like music. It's an acquired taste, to be sure, but I like it.
The End Of Violence is very much in the vein I mentioned above, except it's more fusion-imbued. It's hard to pinpoint Cooder to any particular style.'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

The two Arctic volumes are scores from a serie of tv-documentaries about the Arctic region. Sugimoto is like a brother of Vangelis and Kitaro. You know, the kind of score that's outdated but still very sweet in terms of melody and atmosphere. -

Yes, but there's also a bit of a difference. Do you know that feeling of timeless quality with some of Vangelis's rather outdated scores? Sugimoto's music lacks that specific quality. -

Afrika - Wataru Hokoyama
I'm picking this up in the short time that it will likely be available. I've got to import it from Japan and it's quite pricey. I've heard samples of this though and it sounds incredible. Never the less, it will be kept hidden away until Christmas day.
I've heard the clips from this score too. It sounds incredible.

Maybe? I bought quite a few of his albums during the 80's so maybe I have a nostalgic attachment to him.

It is, really gorgeous. But word has it it was all Randy Miller's
(Randy Miller .... conductor
Randy Miller .... music arranger
Randy Miller .... orchestrator)
which would explain the vast difference in style and quality between this and his other works, some of them sounding ridiculously childish to me.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

If I remember right, La Terra was just ok (one of his bleak scores).
I've heard only 1 cue from Tra Due Mondi on a compilation and it was good stuff.
Let me know what you think of them. -

La Terra is indeed a very bleak, Italian noir score. But I think it's just more than just ok. I think it's an advantage this score remains bleak, without any real identity. -

Gears of War 2 - Steve Jablonsky
Definitely looking forward to this one - I usually like what Jablonsky does.
Viking: Battle For Asgard - Richard Beddow, Simon Ravn & Walter Mair
From what I've heard of this so far it's trying to be Shore's Lord of The Rings - and it's certainly worth a listen.
Too Human - Steve Henifin
Another choral/percussion/strings-dominated score.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

It's not a legit cd is it? AFAIK the only proper releases of Greystoke are on compilations- John Scott conducts his own favorite scores and Concerts pour L'Aventure. But whatever the case it's fantastic music. -

Well...it is a real pressed CD from Tarantula Records. It has the Warner Brothers Music Corp symbol on the CD, made in W Germany. It has real printed covers, and looks as real as it gets if it IS a bootleg.---- Well, I wouldn't argue that it wasn't a no holds barred, adrenaline fueled thrill ride.
