    Rabbia e Tarantella Ennio Morricone

    Actually, just the one track from the Inglourious Basterds album. What a fantastic way to end a fantastic movie!


    Morricone? uhm
    Next you'll be telling us you're listening to Barry...


    Well, Steven has at times listed Barry in his NP's.....but Morricone!??? Is he finally getting some cultured taste? wink


    I desperately want to like Morricone, and perhaps Tarantino is the man to help me. That piece of music is a PERFECT way to end the film. Perfect.

    How is it like?


    Somewhat typical sci-fi stuff but big dramatic orchestral action music thrown in too. Also some nice suspense/dramatic cues.

    DAS PERFUM: Die Geschichte eines Mörders| klimek, heil and tykwer

    What a score!

    I recently read Heil (or Klimek) wrote his own opera and I can imagine that this score contains some elements that triggered that or contain the style that he might have used. The track duo The Perfume and The Crowd Embrace is a gothic orgasm! I really like its theme, very memorable to my ears. Somehow the last track never is a satisfying end though.


    Seriously, that score is one of the best of the last decade, in so many aspects.


    ...except quality. wink

    NP: Lost Season 4 (Giacchino)

    Man, I'm trying hard liking this one. But leaving "oceanic's 6" theme and his epic renditions aside I find this score cold.

    This score for sure has more epic moments, and renditions of the main themes. But it lack of atmosphere. I mean, I don't know how describe it, but it lacks of textures or tribal instrumentation that captured me in the previous scores.

    The fact it doesn't have Julliet's theme, kate's theme, the Island's theme or "shambala" arrengement doesn't help either.

    I'm glad someone can enjoy it! (I actually am - for once that wasn't a sarcastic backhanded comment.)

    I'm just addicted to that one track from Rabbia a Tarantella (unless that is the track name!?).

    Any other soundtracks that make good use of vocals (not lyrics)? Or anything else that uses something similar to the emotional string section at the end?


    John, try "Blood Diamond" by James Newton Howard. Or, if you REALLY like the African-sounding vocals, try "The Power of One" by Hans Zimmer. But the former is a more accessible choice, and one of my all-time favorite scores.



    Wow Blood Diamond sounds fantastic, thanks for the recommendation. Not to keen on Power of the One, the vocals are too strong and dominant, I prefer them to be placed more subtly smile

    Farewell My Concubine - Great Film Themes From Chinese Cinema - Compilation

    This Silva compilation contains truly wonderful themes! A very good listen, indeed!
  1. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (James Horner)

    Listening to the expanded... at long last !!! Man I love this for the spectacular sound. The action tracks have never sounded so vibrant and energetic. I'm sure I'm hearing instruments I didn't hear on the GNP Crescendo release. It's absolutely stunning on a technical level. But I can't say I love this album more than Star Trek III expanded (if it ever comes to pass).

    I love II of course but I was always flatout dumbstruck by III, it's melodies do more for me I guess.

    I think when, and I believe it'll be when NOT if STAR TREK III get's an expanded release many people will be surprised at how much excellent material was left off and just how frigging brilliant the score is!

    I watched the film recently, and although there was a lot of fine material missing from the album, it's certainly not enough to move Wrath of Khan from its perch in my top scores. I prefer the action, seafaring feel of Khan to the mystical feel of Search for Spock (which is indicative to the differences in our tastes).
