    Star Wars eh Erik!? Now there's an idea....


    NP : STAR WARS : THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK - John Williams



    Film music really doesn't get much better than this!


    Y'damn right it doesn't. Star Wars is my yard stick for judging all other scores! (Not directly, but generally.)

    Most scores will come up very short being measured with that yard stick wink

    Hmm, can't say I found much to my tastes after that first track. Never really liked Morricone's over-bearing use of vocals.

    I need something familiar....


    The Perfect Storm James Horner

    *Epic sigh of relief*

    Much better.

    Surely you mean LoDuca?

  1. I don't care if it's not playing this very second, but a bit ago I listened to "The Thorn Birds" (Henry Mancini, R.I.P.).


    Simply a wonderful score. The excellent, memorable themes, beauty, and fun at times. I highly encourage anybody who doesn't have the 2CD Varese edition to pick this up. A must have.


    I've had it for a few years now and it's one of the best purchases I have ever made.

    Indeed I have. A prime example of a Morricone score I can't stand.

    "The Silver of the Mine" is my single favourite piece of music.

    I also don't like The Beatles. At all.

    I'm on a roll, thought I'd keep the momentum going.

    I don't dislike them, but do think they're hugely overrated. Or at least, some of their stuff is.
  2. "Ticket to Ride" and "Yesterday" are certainly heads over anything done is the passed, oh ... 15 years or more.

    The Promise (Klaus Badelt)

    Counting the fact this comes from one of the RC guys this is a gorgeous work, that works fantastically at the start of the album, but gets a little repetitive and uninspired near the end. Still the themes are the main reason this score works. But now for my main gripe: why oh why doesn't that utterly beautiful 'Freedom of the Wa' get another treatment in the whole score??? I don't get it, the best melody on the whole album appears only once, at the start, and in the film it's used in the end credits. !!! Frickin' ridiculous! crazy But the score is really quite good, just not a masterpiece as some reviews have led to believe.



    That, Snow Country, The Robe, and the last track, all brilliant.

    NP:MIssion:IMpossible (Elfman)

    This score seems really hated for a lot of fans. But I love it.

    The little fanfarres ar terrific, the dramatic themes touches me and the percusion and woodwinds creates a sense of danger and "cat and mouse" chase.

    The overture is amazing.

    Oh what perfidy is this? From NOSTROMO - one of my favourite scores - to one of Horner's most insipid - and this transition was counted as an improvement by the unworthy soul?! Damnation now!!!!

    This is one of Elfman's very best. To my ears, better than BATMAN, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, etc.
