[Closed] Now Playing XXXII

Alexander Nevsky Sergei Prokofiev

Good scores are so much better than crap scores. Thus endeth my lesson for today.

Yeah, but I don't really like Rombi and I love Horner.

Un Homme et Sony Chin et Homer Simpson is a lovely score, but it doesn't set my pants on fire I'm afraid.

I like Williams' score to Sabrina, but I rarely listen to it I have to admit. Nice background listen, just the same as every Rombi score I've heard so far... but nothing I'd listen to to get my "film music fix". That's why Um Homer ate Son of Chien (or whatever the hell it's called) is never going to be top of my list for this year. I prefer Giacchino's Star Trek or even Elfman's Terminator score.

I have only heard some clips from Un Homme et Son Chien but it didn't make me buy the album. But I very much love Joyeux Noel by Rombi. That's a great score.
By the way: I also love Sabrina. I think it's a very underrated Williams score.

Have a listen.

At the end of Hour 2.

Yeah, YouTube isn't paying its advertisers very well these days.

Tis this one sir.



(I also have the concert version with the LSO.)

NP : STAR TREK THE MOTION PICTURE - Jerry Goldsmith



Talk about synchronicity, I'm on the track The Enterprise and you should see the gloriously fantastic sunset going down outside my window right now.

(Although admittedly not as appropriate as 'The Enterprise'.)

NP : KING KONG - James Newton Howard



Is good!

Partially!

Halo 3: ODST (Martin O'Donnell & Michael Salvatori)

First disc. After their phenomenal work on Halo 1, 2 and 3, this FPS spin-off is quite a departure from the known and loved thematic Halo music. Relying very much on ambience, and featuring some interesting instrumental choices, like a saxophone which crops up from time to time, a novel choice in a videogame soundtrack indeed. However it's thematically not as memorable as its granddaddy. The original Halo themes appear very scarcely throughout the album, and even then they're not fully developed renditions. I like the overall sound of the music, but I'm thinking this will have to get some more listens and even then I don't think I will rate this above Halo 3. It just sounds too monotonous in places.

Tomorrow disc two.

Mostly yeah, with some piano work, and some orchestral overlays, but the ground work is synth-based. But cool sounding (at least to my ears). But if you detested the others in the series, you may as well forget about this one.

Apparently!
