    I have to say it... Ottman has written a score which is not bad!

    Actually it is pretty good! Waiting for your review by the way.


    Having seen VALKYRIE today (with it's VERY temp track lifted score), I can't help but express my amazement.

    NP: M Squad - Count Basie / Stanley Wilson / Benny Carter / John Williams

    This is really good! A very jazzy score for a TV series from the mid-50s starring Lee Marvin and set in Chicago.

    As well as featuring a few tracks from John Williams (listed as "Johnny Williams" which is usually an immediate turn-off for me) this CD features tracks mainly composed by Wilson and Carter.

    Wilson was one of the most prolific names in Hollywood: composing music for films and TV as well as hiring the likes of Elmer Bernstein, Henry Mancini and Lalo Schifrin when he was in charge of "creative activities" at Universal in the late-50s.

    This is really worth hunting down:

    M Squad clips

    BTW, for all you "main streamers" Williams' tracks are "The Chase", "The Discovery" and "The End".

    Ransom - Jerry Goldsmith

    Classic early 70s Goldsmith action scoring. I'll be watching the film later, for the first time.

    I liked some of the earlier tracks but later it seemed to be pulling all the stops without much clarity.

    NP:
    Ennio Morricone - Resoluzione 819
    There's a distinct Lontano (from Gott Mit Uns) hangover in the opening few tracks but it's getting much better from there on. The love theme (Clara) is the standout theme so far-- gorgeous and stirring! It's amazing that with so many scores he has written, he stills pulls out an original beauty like this. Il Maestro!

    Good, innit?
    I love Count Basie's main theme (it's the only Basie track on the record, by the way).
    'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn
  2. The German Amazon site has the full score -- not just 0:30 samples -- up for preview for "2012" (Harold Kloser & Thomas Wanker).

    I remain underwhelmed and disallusioned. One nice cue, but the rest is pointless actioning droning. I don't hear any themes or motifs and it just goes on & on.

    Wanker did some good stuff for seasons 5 & 6 of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", but ... not so much here.

    Consider this a review, as the score just isn't worth a purchase.

    NP:The Kraken (Zimmer)

    I really could pay to see Erik's face (or any other Golden Age film music lover) when he heard this piece for the first time.

    It's one of my most played tracks ever, and it's not so crap like it seems. A lot of orchestra here! I love this horns rifs....

    The second Kraken attack in the film features a great orchestral version of that track. Would be nice to get that one sometime.

    NP: The Lion King - Hans Zimmer

    On an emotional level (all sides), Hans never did better than this, though he did come close. Praying my dream of owning a complete CD release comes true one day.

    Astro Boy - John Ottman

    Haven't listened to it fully yet but I'm liking the main theme a lot. This is certainly one of John's better efforts, will listen to the whole CD soon.
  3. Forrest Gump + Judge Dredd (Silvestri)

    Scores that are the opposite ends of the Silvestri spectrum. But I love them both, Judge Dredd just a bit more because of its ability to kick humongous ass... While Forrest Gump is all sentiment and to complement the likeable character of Forrest, it's a testament to Silvestri's talent that Judge Dredd can be just as emotional at times. It makes me like the movie more than most people.

    Both scores are great in their genres. The first has that irresistibly beautiful main theme and the sweeping choir, the melodies. The 2nd is massive powerhouse action the way Silvestri knew how to do excellently. Can't wait for the day we'll get proportionally good scores from him again.

    I'm unhappy with Slumdog winning too but at least Desplat did get nominated, he's had a great year this time and with any luck he might win this time!
