  1. Hans Zimmer - Frost/Nixon

    I love this score especially now that I've seen the very good Ron Howard movie. It works wonders in the movie. Also it is a nice touch that Zimmer has an orchestrator credit there.

    NP: Public Enemies - Elliot Goldenthal

    First listen...

    Restrained (at times), dense, atmospheric, tragic, powerful... that's the sense I get from it! Not one of his greatest but Goldenthal creates a fairly original work that separates itself for the sound of other gangster film scores. "Billy's Arrest" and "Plane To Chicago" are the highlights where Goldenthal lets loose and stretches his wings. Thick orchestral layers, driving rhythms; very dramatic stuff! With it's short running time I can see myself return to this often in the next few weeks. I've always enjoyed Goldenthal's sound and I really like what he did here. Welcome back!!!

    The Time Machine - Klaus Badelt

    Revisiting this old favourite which I haven't played for too long.
    great theme, wonderful orchestration and just an allround immensely enteraining score, the promise of which Badelt unfortunately never really rose to (although his The Promise and Ned Kelly are both very good as well).
    But for sentimental reasons (the music is emotionally attached fto a very special person from my past for me) this one will remain my favourite.

    I'll wager that most of us have at least one of these scores! Two scores that come to mind for me are Lady in the Water and, strangely enough, Jerry Goldsmith's Timeline. They're more than just music to me.

    The first one I can easily understand as it really is a lovely score, and not just a bit melancholy in places...but Timeline???

    It must have been a VERY special period in your life.

    Haven't we got a thread about "personal" scores here? Or maybe it was on the former board ( Score Reviews ).

    E.T. will probably always remain the most personal score I have.

    King Arthur here. Seriously. Not that things turned out as I had wished, but this score will always remind me of that particular period.

    NP: THE MOST OVERRATED SCORE OF ALL TIME | underrated composer

    Job well done I'd say! Better than some of the underrated scores, but still miles ahead of those crappy scores from overrated composers.

    NP: A Concert of Film Music - Various Artists
    Henry Mancini conducting the London Symphony Orchestra

    What a delightful album featuring music from composers Nino Rota, John Williams, Michel Legrand and Mancini himself. I'm currently listening to a fabulous suite of music from The White Dawn composed by Mancini himself. The White Dawn theme has instantly become one of my favorite! A delightful piece with a Celtic touch!

    Erik, I've always loved that White Dawn suite, I've never seen the film but just based on the music I would jump at the chance of owning the original score on CD. ( a job for FSM maybe? )

    Part of White Dawn is used in the film The Right Stuff.

    Can you believe the first time I ever heard the theme was last week just before the Kunzel concert. I was spinning all my Kunzel albums on shuffle (including the Mancini album) and when that theme came on I near jumped out of my seat. It's been a while since I've had that type of reaction to a piece of music I hadn't heard before

    I think it's more than just the "Goldsmith thing" to Steven? Depends if he wants to share that info or not?

    The fact that I was enjoying it at the time was certainly the "Goldsmith thing" (which IMO is a bloody good thing!), but there's more to it now as it reminds me of the time I first began to listen to it. Simple as that.
