    NP: Twilight - Carter Burwell

    Haven't heard this one in awhile.


    And what was it that it made you to revisit? wink


    That's a very good question! tongue vomit Actually, I love Bella's Lullaby, so I thought I'd revisit it to give that one track a listen. wink

    Mean comment you bad boy! "Bella's Lullaby"is wonderful! Not Burwell's finest hour all in all but a nice score anyway.

    DANNY ELFMAN - hulk

    A largely underrated and overlooked score.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Star Trek - Michael Giacchino

    Really like it. Have listened to it often since it arrived some time ago.

    Indeed; those themes are massive and addictive! Very well-built score and ages ahead Craig Armstrong's.

    NP: War Of The Worlds - John Williams

    Big. Timpani. Cool. Stuff.

    But why no woodwinds? They would perfect this action music! Or was John Williams pulling a Jerry Bruckheimer on this one?

    Mmmm, I don't know. It's good, and the action music is superb, but without the woodwinds it doesn't elevate itself to that crazy, goosebump-inducing level. It sounds good, but kind of flat... Would you agree at all?

    Woodwinds, brass, low strings and timpani - the ingredients for the ultimate action music. punk

    I can go with a very able, expanded and complex string section in all registers, percussion and brass clusters anytime wink

    The film didn't require woodwinds. Or perhaps more accurately it required a very oppressive sound... woodwinds aren't oppressive, they're hopeful. That is the nature of their sound and wouldn't have necessarily worked in the film.

    I think he uses the bassoon in the 'Intersection' track, and the woodwinds are shrieking in some of the later cues. (As Herrmann said, there isn't anything more terrifying than 12 flutes playing unison.)

    Well, apart from what Michael said I suppose! But generally, woodwinds aren't usually what I would associate with the end of the world.
  17. Just played a few pieces of scores.

    Home of Dark Butterflies (Panu Aaltio)
    Let the Right One In (Johan Soderqvist)
    Clockers (Terence Blanchard)
    The Claim (Michael Nyman)
    Little Buddha (Ryuichi Sakamoto)
    Regeneration (Mychael Danna)
    Penelope (Max Richter)

    None of these will be heading for the box soon. (Although the first and the last don't exist in physical CD form, so that was never going to be an issue.)

  18. Lair (Debney)

    I like this. It works. A case where temp track-itis gave us something really nice.

    In action music I think they add that insane "thrill" sound. Especially the way Williams uses them.
  20. Broken Arrow (Hans Zimmer)

    A pure, testosterone-filled action score in that early Zimmer style I absolutely love... Much like Crimson Tide, this is true synthesized power, filled with memorable themes. I particularly love the one for the villain when it's performed by the woman. The action crescendo's always leave me on a perfect emotional high...

    Pure A$$ Kickin' Fun !! punk

    NP: Titanic - James Horner

    Playing only the quieter cues right now. Mega exhausted as I'm just back from an exam, had a hell of a time jostling in the crowd and finding my hall, then had to wait in a queue in the hot sun as they were frisking everyone one by one. Now relaxing with some cool home made lemonade and cool music. cool

    The Pelican Brief - James Horner

    It's been my first listen. I don't find this score especially appealing. The action cues are not memorable at all and there is the worst sounding synthetizer ever from Horner in some cues. The last long track and its predecessor, Darby's Theme are great, though.

    And probably not a surprise that I hated it too. This is one of a tiny number of albums I took back to the store for money back / exchange.

    Good girl! love

    Overseas (i.e. domestic American) reactions have been rather lukewarm though, and it appears now as if the originally envisioned new Terminator trilogy (of which Salvation was the first installment) will quite probably not come to pass. slant

    Good! I've read some very negative things about this film, and I honestly can't understand why? I think McDouche and team did an excellent job in bringing the war on Skynet to the screen.
