    On a funny side-note, the Arvo Part quoting piece is aptly entitled "Partly Part" smile


    Typical young. smile


    This piece is a variation on the ever-popular 'Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten', at least until the final minute or so, when it goes in one of Young's beautiful themes.

    NP: Robin Hood Prince of Thives ~ Michael Kamen

    Good morning everyone! I love this score! I woke up with the main theme in my mind! smile

  3. NP: Creation (Christopher Young)

    I'm rather partial to The Village, so to hear someone with Young's skills operate in that vein makes for a great, gentle album to my ears. His finest music to date, to my tastes.

    And now for ... "Sinnerman" (Nina Simone)... because it's so damn catchy...

    I have yet to hear CREATION, but is it comparable to his MURDER IN THE FIRST?

    A very subtle dig at JNH! biggrin

    I don't think there's anything quite as good as the theme from The Village though. In fact, I know there isn't.

    Subtlety be damned! I need something energetic to write this essay to... which is on film music of all things (something I'm rather partial to, believe it or not).

    Today's listening so far:

    Innerspace - Jerry Goldsmith

    Decent score ruined by the album presentation. Why would anyone want to listen to 80 minutes of it?

    Daybreakers - Christopher Gordon

    Impressive music which requires a little more concentration than I was able to give it. Look forward to exploring it further.

    Honey I Blew Up the Kid - Bruce Broughton

    The best kind of mickey-mousing, tuneful and attractive.

    Avatar James Horner

    I liked it on my first listen, but now that it's had time to grow on me and I've seen the film twice, this is most definitely a top three score of last year. I can't really decide on a rating for it, but all I know is that I love it and want MORE. I hope a complete scores gets released, even if it's just a promo or bootleg.

    I'd say at the moment this, Star Trek and Un Homme Et Son Chien look to be my favourite scores from 2009.

    Ha, 'War' "one of the most uninteresting action cues... from Horner."

    Brilliant. lol


    I'm bored by it. Sure, it's got chorus, pounding percussion and blaring trumpets but its rather empty emotionally. I don't feel anything when I listen to it. It's pretty ordinary action material especially from Horner... a guy who gave us the extraordinary "The Train" from Legend of Zorro or "Escape" from The Four Feathers. Give me something along those line rather then the bland, soulless action cue that is "War.". I'm actually far more interested in "The Destruction of Hometree" which has a better emotional punch. BTW, there is something not right about the way the choir sounds. Are they live or are they something along the lines of East West Symphonic Choirs?

    Anywho, solid album... I will give Horner that... but a fairly average Horner score. It's a 3 out of 5 stars effort for me which is very disappointing especially for the sheer amount of time Horner had to come up with this.

    I prefer the bold thematic statements and more emotional material from AVATAR too. War's a good track, but it's not like it's film music at its finest either smile
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Whether he had one year or ten years to come up with this score is beside the point for me: it sounds good and I love it. And I think War is one of the best cues of 2009.

    My opinion? Yeah. Damn straight. biggrin


    I'll admit, a year to come up with the Four Note Danger Motif YET AGAIN is pushing it, but regardless I still thoroughly enjoy the whole score.

    THE PERFECT STORM - James Horner


    While Listening to those magnificent action tracks from this soundtrack I can Understand why someone can neglected track like War from Avatar. Anyway, back to Perfect Storm - This Is pure James Horner at His Best.


    cool
  27. NP: Stan Helsing by Ryan Shore

    sad to see someone with the talent of Shore trying to make the most of this score. The fact it's synthesized doesn't help either. Stick with Jack Brooks if you fancy better orchestral action / horror music

    It wasn't meant as a dig at JNH, actually. (Who can be VERY good.) It was meant as a remark of praise to Young!

    JNH IS very good. And such scores, by such composers are the proof he's influential too.

    I wouldn't compare it to MURDER IN THE FIRST, no. Those weary string lines are nowhere to be heard.
