  1. Family Stone is definitely a Giacchino score I like the least of the bunch.

    NP: Star Trek - Michael Giacchino

    I'm only at track 4 so far but, for me, the signs are encouraging - both in terms of a solid Giacchino score and as a "Star Trek score" (whatever that may be!) So far it's the majestic horn line (heard best in the first track) that's singling this out as something that belongs in the Star Trek canon.

    At the moment though I'm concerned about how the original Star Trek theme is going to be intergrated into this Giacchino-styled Star Trek universe - but as that dilemma doesn't arise until the final two tracks I'm just going to sit back and enjoy what's looking like a good addition to Giacchino's discography.


    Edit: I swear the old theme also appears right at the end of "Nero Death Experience".


    check my review wink

    "I guess then it all comes down to aggressive power. “Nero Death Experience” brings forth fear, rage and emotion into a choral / orchestral battle. The rhythmic pace is only a decoy for the Nero fanfare which has now received an extra few notes to fuel this choral menace. The main theme by then sounds like a gift from the Giacchino gods itself. And surely you can’t dismiss the other brief statement of the Alexander Courage fanfare"

  4. NP: Story of an Unknown Actor (Schnittke - Strobel conducting)

    Said one thought to another: "Surely they are mad,
    who put on the soundtracks that make them feel sad!"
    "No madness", said the other, "and we should be glad
    for a recording like Strobel's, of music so rad!"

    Braveheart (James Horner)

    This one deserves to be put in big bold lettering. IMHO the very best music that ever came out of Horner's brain. This score touches me on so many levels, I honestly can't count them. I love how the score starts out in this calm and soothing fashion, then the more intense tracks build up the momentum in the middle, before delivering the final blow to the heart with the chilling final cues. The celtic sound is pretty much perfectly integrated with the orchestra, and the synths are handled like a master. This score makes me cry.

    I'm playing my own expanded edition including the extra music from 'More Music from Braveheart' put in between the official albums tracks.

    B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!

    Watch it on blu-ray mate, you'll love the movie for how stunning the picture quality is. And I mean stunning, best looking film ever...

    I must admit, we were cautious too about the movie. But the score actually works well in the movie (more than on disc) and like my brother said, it is brilliant on blu-ray. Plus the story is cool, the characters are cool, it is funny and ridiculous at the same time, but it all comes together because it is perfectly told without any sign of chaos whatsoever

    Now this is some real fun! applause punk

    Just love the saxophone and "opera" voices especially in the Mountain Chase track. And Horton Suite is excellent! Had it not been for Bolt, this would've been my favourite score of 2008.

    Disagree! It's a fabulous score from start to finish and was the best thing Powell wrote last year and is one of his finest efforts! The man is on fire!

    Attached question - what % of score albums you buy come from older films that you might or might not have seen, but where the composer brand name prompts the purchase? For many of us, that's the largest part! biggrin

    I've had a rough look through the last 100 titles I have bought:

    1930s - 2 titles => % movies seen - 0
    1940s - 1 title => % movies seen - 0
    1950s - 1 title => % movies seen - 0
    1960s - 10 titles => % movies seen - 20%
    1970s - 9 titles => % movies seen - 44%
    1980s - 13 titles => % movies seen - 23%
    1990s - 6 titles => % movies seen - 0
    2000s - 58 titles => % movies seen - 2%

    And I'd say that the majority of the titles I've bought are as a result of liking the clips, a few limited edition titles I wanted to try but felt that they would not be around for long - only Beltrami scores at the moment are ones that I would buy purely because of the name.

    I had a review how many scores I have and how many of the movies I had seen. Out of a total of ~2000 titles the breakdown is as follows:

    Titles from 1920s - 100%
    Titles from 1930s - 22%
    Titles from 1940s - 10%
    Titles from 1950s - 20%
    Titles from 1960s - 30%
    Titles from 1970s - 35%
    Titles from 1980s - 32%
    Titles from 1990s - 28%
    Titles from 2000s - 15%

    Overall, that works out to 23% of the music I have, I've seen the movies. The highest percentages are from the time when I most went to the cinema and the low percentage more recently tallies in with my expanding exposure to game music (I don't play game music - though I would like to have the music from Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii) and foreign films.

    As you can tell, I've had plenty of free time this afternoon - and my analytical slant to things surfaced! shame

    One Little Indian - Jerry Goldsmith

    His western scores don't sound like other people's, but you still know they're westerns. Great theme. Not one of his best western scores, but that's more a function of how good most of them are than anything else.
