  1. Nobody is arguing (except Clemmensen bunny ) that Angels and Demons is a lesser score than Da Vinci Code. It is. But it's just fun!

    WP: ANGELS & DEMONS - Hans Zimmer
    Since I loved The DaVinci Code, this was among my most anticipated scores of the year. No pressure, then. I hadn't heard any clips, so I let the score surprise me, even though it garnered a reputation among this board (I didn't fully go into it blank). And, well... it's a lot of fun! Even though I had to get used to the fact this is a more synthetic affair then DaVinci, it also provides the score with a different musical palette. 'Cause, boy, this is different.

    Where DaVinci could be seen as the classical masterpiece, this is the derived action blockbuster, with lots of heavy percussion, male chanting and screeching violins. Shining through in the calmer moments, Bells violin solo's are spot on, depicting the innocent aspect, while remaining within the dark atmosphere. It needs to dawn on me, but ultimately I'm probably glad Zimmer didn't expand upon his previous work, but went into a different direction - I like the surprise.

    The biggest surprise? Angels & Demons hardly is a thematic score! While DaVinci is probably the Zimmer score that could best be explored upon in its thematics, which is essentially the thing I was most looking forward to. Still, the dark choral rollercoaster ride that is the final score gave me enough chills not to be disappointed.

    Wise indeed.
  6. NP: QB VII (Jerry Goldsmith)

    For anyone who thinks John Williams really expressed the horror of the Holocaust in Schindler's List, I give you.... 'Kaddish for the six million'. There's such pain in that piece.

    Next up: The Russia House (Goldsmith)

  7. NP: 'Fall of Managua' from Under Fire (Jerry Goldsmith)

    One of my very favourite scores. It's on the desert island list all right. (And there's no way it - or indeed many Goldsmith scores - will be going into 'the box(es)' that about 2/3 of my collection are now gaining acquaintance with.

    So are you: A) Saying John Williams didn't really express the horror of the Holocaust? B) Saying those that appreciate the horror John William expressed in Schindler's List will also appreciate Goldsmith's piece? Or C) Saying Goldsmith's piece expresses more horror?

    Well, Williams wasn't really trying to express the horror of it in his music, except perhaps when the little red girl's body is seen. Mostly, Williams is scoring the pathos of it. (There's a bit of suspense scoring with 'Auschwitz - Birkenau', but I'd describe that as unease more than horror.)

    Nonetheless, I think anyone whose heart went cold with fear on listening to SCHINDLER'S LIST will probably die on hearing the 'Kaddish'. It's really horrific.

    One of Goldsmith's most stunning pieces, I would agree.

  12. Dinotopia (Trevor Jones)

    Second listen and boy this is a treasure... Relaxing and exciting at the same time, Jones sure knows how to create a musical palette worth listening to. High on atmospherics and thematic beauty, I'm so glad I obtained it after all, little did I know I could order it from Mr. Jones' own website. Is it me or does his music just flow like the best?

    I love this score. While cleopatra and Merlin has the magic, Dinotopia is the most balanced of the three.

    (Merling has some annoying susense stuff, and cleopatra is repetitive. Both some of my most beloved scores, thought )

    NP:Lasirius + A Dark Knight + Science and Religion

    How I said, Zimmer's high tech adaggios.

    Do I miss some other good to listen? (Leaving Journey to the line aside)

    Something about Gordon's music just really clicks with me (perhaps something to do with the fact that he's awesome).

    Such a good suite - and such a good score too. I'd love to hear it live with a good orchestra.

    QBVII

    Incredible score. Has ANYONE here ever seen the mini-series this was written for? I read the book ( damn good it is too ) by Leon Uris many years ago and would love to see the series.

    QBVII stands for Queens Bench VII as it revolves around a court case of a respected Doctor implicated in war crimes by a novellist. I believe it mirrored real life and an incident to do with Uris book Exodus.

    I've never seen it - but would like to. Sounds intriguing. Would love to hear more of Goldsmith's score, too. Reportedly there's an awful lot of it!

    It's a very good score but the real oscar sin is that he didn't win for Star Trek The Motion Picture.
