    NP: Turtle: The Incredible Journey - Hehning Lohner

    Melodic, colorful, and, (at times, intimate) orchestral score. I didn't quite expect this from the guy who previous works included scores for Uwe Boll films and slasher thriller. He's also a resident composer at Remote Control and had quite a long musical history... Recommended.

    Yeah, Bernstein, North, Mancini and Barry too. All great but I just feel Legrand and Schifrin are a cut above when it comes to jazz scoring.

  7. Once again I found myself playing "The Thorn Birds" (Henry Mancini). It has been my main listen pretty much the whole month.

    JAMES HORNER - house of cards

    A classic case of "don't judge the book by its cover". Surprisingly emotional, lyrical at places, melancholic and beautiful, this soothing listening experience is a must for Horner followers and lovers of good thematic music as well.


    Not one that really held my interest, but I think I'll give it another chance after reading your comment.

    GUY FARLEY - book of blood



    Surprisingly organic and creepily dark horror score. Quite modern and scary, lovers of the genre will find lots to appreciate in it but bear in mind that it's in the more ambient and frightening side of things, in contrast to say, Chris Young-bombastic horror like music.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    If you're into the grand Horner, you probably won't like it. It's very subdued and sentimental. The main theme is infectious!

    JP: TETRO - Osvaldo Golijov
    Where Youth Without Youth was his classically nostalgic score, Tetro does the same with jazz. Yet though it leans heavily on its improvised structures and small ensemble, it aint 'typical' jazz. The argentinan instruments (mainly accordeon and guitar, yet also the sax) and intermezzos of haunting and ethereal voices, in combination with some classical pieces in between for good measure, creates a wonderful atmosperic style thats just as nostalgic as YWY felt, yet in an entitely different way. Maybe not always to my liking (yet!), but certainly among the most interesting scores in a while. And the final 6 min. piece is utterly gorgeous. Definitely recommended.

    I found it in a small CD store yesterday. It took me completely by surprise, not knowing it was released yet, and bought it instantly, though not knowing anything about it apart from the description at the back cover: 'symphonic jazz' and 'nostalgic optimism'. No regrets about this spontaneous blind buy!

    Beats me! Because the directer would rather have a composer who bends over to give him what he wants regardless of what the composers better instincts thinks? I won't name names but there are composers who just touch there toes to please, and in a way who can blame them when it keeps them in regular employment.

    Another winner from Gordon!
    Elegant, rich, thematically diverse and very beautiful.
    It's so reassuring to know there are still a few composers out there that can produce such works.
    I think I'll play On the Beach next. I'm in a Chris Gordon phase yet again! cool

    Julian Nott - A Man of No Importance
    Absolutely delightful! Unexpected gems like this are what makes me want to give obscure scores a try! This one was from Katiek's collection that I kept for myself. Grazie!
    Nott takes a leaf from the Delerue and Ennio book of melodic writing. This one's quite intriguing, really. It starts off quite whimsical and folksy with a march, but pretty soon there's a utterly charming melody that's so much like Delerue.

    That and more p.r. Who knows Shearmur apart film score fans? He doesn't go to red carpet events all the time, for instance, getting photographed, interviewed and letting people know you're there wink The right people that is.

    Indeed. Haven't understood though if all those fragments of classical pieces in there, piano and all, are his or classical source material. I find them a bit disconnecting as a listening experience and annoying at places.
