    I'm not saying the music is bad, it does everything right. But I can't enjoy this when it is presented this way.


    "Presented this way" meaning 45 tracks where most of them bleed into each other? Tell me, if you didn't look at the back of the CD and just listened to the album without prior knowledge of the track names and times would you still have the same reaction?

    It's not the number of tracks Erik, the music is very fragmented and all over the place, with the exception of some tracks, suite-like ones.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    NP: Ratatouille - Michael Giacchino

    I just watched it on DVD yesterday (haven't seen it since on theater!) and I can say it's the best Pixar story I've ever seen. And best score.


    (I play this score almost everyday since I bought it, but I don't say so every time not to make everyone sleep . wink biggrin )

  3. NP: The Dark Knight (Zimmer / Newton Howard)

    Ironically, the only track I tend to skip is the 'Harvey Two-Face' track.
    Listening to it reminds me of what a strong film it was.

  4. NP: Surviving Picasso (Richard Robbins)

    Fantastic minimalist score. My favourite of Robbins' Merchant-Ivory scores. (His only scores?)

    NP: The Journey of Natty Gann - James Horner

    First listen...

    Sublime Americana score featuring quite possibly one of greatest themes Horner has ever composed!


    Guys - this score is DYNAMITE! Classic Horner. One of his finest. F__k the new scores coming out this year, throw your hard earned cash in Intrada's direction and play this one over and over again! This, my friends, is true film music GOLD! I can't see how ANYONE would be disappointed by this one! I'm going to spin it again! I'm so very thrilled and proud to own this gem!!!

    Listening to two of the releases. One of my favorite score dealing with the sea and adventure.

    But you must get some kind of enjoyment out it since you imply you return for repeat listens? It certainly fits the mood which you prefer to hear in scores, that much is certain.

    How often do you listen to non-score albums? I will admit that it's 90% scores for me. I'm [almost] as obsessed with scores as a certain two members are about a certain individual score.

    How odd it is that it seems normal to us to have a niche interest -i.e. scores- yet we deem it odd to have such a strong niche interest within a strong niche interest! biggrin (Joep anyone?)

    the longest tracks are indeed the good ones

    I'm SO tempted to get this one, but it's a lot of money for a CD regardless of how good it may be! dizzy

    NP:Perfect Storm (Horner)

    Wow, definetly horner was in love with his theme here (well, always he is).

    it's one of my favourites scores from Horner, and one of the few scores I listen from this composer (With Apollo 13)

    Does anyone else notice this Bernard Herrman moment in the middle some track ? tongue


    NP: The 13th Warrior ( Goldsmith)

    Addicted to it, again.

    How i said, It doesn't have the vibrant and heroic action music and the love theme of First Knight.

    But it's a great combination of the majeustosity of Mulan, the chorus of First Knight and the exotism of The Mummy.

    "Swork Maker" is unexpectedly so joyful!

    One of my favourites too. And can you blame him with being in love with the theme? wink

    But is he counting all 10 tracks including the song, in which case there is no middle track, or just the 9 score tracks? (In which case the fifth track, 'The Decision To Turn Around', is the middle track.) Then of course there's...

    Oh absolutely. I'm not criticising the music at all! If I didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't listen to it. I do think it helps a bit that it helps me remember a great film. smile
