  2. Superman: The Movie (by one of the all-time greats !!!!)

    Fantastic, utterly sublime score. From the first minute this score grabs me by the throat and doesn't let go for its entire 2-hour run. When that terrific march comes blasting through the speakers, I'm right up there with The Supes, soaring and cheering along. Besides the legendary themes, this score also has some of the most brilliant underscore, to the point it really isn't underscore anymore but music that lives and breathes all the way through the film, and perfectly accompanies what's happening on screen, and how it's integral to the evolving characters. Williams' score, simply put is another unforgettable character in the film and I don't know where I'd be if somehow this music got erased from memory and by some unfortunate alternate reality mix-up we ended up with the score from Superman III as this film's soundtrack. God knows we should be lucky it didn't turn out that way. beer

    Somehow this provides this more emotional satisfaction for me than any other masterpiece he composed during those 6 fantastic years (1977-1983).

    Not surprised with a love theme as good as the one Williams wrote for that film. Still, the most emotional score from that period is, for me, without a doubt ET.
  4. Not only the love theme but the choral music during the Krypton sequence is incredibly haunting and never fails to give me goosebumps, also 'Leaving Home' is such a grand sounding and undeniable classic, one of my favourite from Williams.

    There are some composers whom in their entire career so far, have not written one piece as good as many of the cues in this great score.

    NP: The Last Samurai ~ Hans Zimmer

    It's very clearly structured, with as strong theme but I mostly like the lyrical instances and the incorporation of eastern elements in what is to me one of Zimmer's best moments.

    NP : Random - EVERYONE

    The End Credits cue from Lady In The Water came on. What a track! That's got to be one of JHN's best. A shame it doesn't appear anywhere else in the score and how it doesn't climax, instead just ending rather suddenly.

  10. What's it like? Been curious enough to the point I even considered watching the movie.
    The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else.
  11. Small Soldiers (Mike Giacchino)

    After the maestro Williams comes his closest mimicker, well it was so during his game years, and I'd like to think that here, even before MOH, his talent for building cues to their own brilliant mini-climaxes is ever so present. This ALWAYS gets my blood pumping !!!! What Giacchino did here with the male chorus and the use of percussion is nothing short of genius. The icing on the cake are the superb themes which get many fun variations. While I love Jerry's take on the whole Gorgonite vs Commando Elite conflict, this is different but just as good, fun being the keyword here.

    NP: Atlantis (Academy Promo) - JNH

    Been listening to this one again. This Academy promo does make for a more rounded listening experience. However, the noted Dogfight cue is a bit disappointing in how it's just a rearrangement/reedited version of the Leviathan battle cue (Unless I've gotten a crappy version...), with extended (Excellent) brassy action in the latter half. The End Credit cue recapitulation of the Crystal Chamber cue is a nice touch. A solid score just gotten better.

    'Battle of the Salt Plains' is a very powerful track. Might not be the most original in terms of the chord structure and the melody, but it's bloody good! (What some might describe as "Zimmery", even though Zimmer really had nothing to do with the creation of that kind of music - he's just used it a lot during his career.)

    Il deserto dei tartari - Ennio Morricone

    The first track I heard from this score was an atonal one in a Morricone concert in 2002. So I didn't really care of this album. But later on I heard the main theme which is wonderful and decided to give it a try. It was worth it because this score has such amazing melodies.
    What I still don't understand is why Morricone chose to play an atonal track in the concert when he could have choose 5-6 very nice tracks instead. confused

    keky, indeed, this score is both a dream and a nightmare for melody lovers. It has some very difficult dissonance, and some extraordinary melodies. The opening theme is grand and a real goody of course, but the theme first heard in "Proposta" is one of my all-time favourite Morricone themes. My favourite rendition is "Le stagioni, gli anni" (despite the poor sound quality of this track), but the piano solo (La casa e la giovinezza) is also magnificant. The piece "La cena degli ufficiali" is brilliant. I don't know what style it is, some kind of folk dance thing, but what a wonderful listen.

    It's a mystery indeed why he always plays the dissonance from this score in concerts. I'd give anything to hear a live performance of "Le stagioni, gli anni". I think the reason is that he wants to be taken seriously, and he feels that melody is too easy and cheap to come by. It's ironic that the greatest master of melodies in the world, has such a love for dissonance.

    CHRISTOPHER YOUNG - creation

    Utterly beautiful, this THE VILLAGE influenced work is both perhaps his most mature work to date (although i can see how fans of his horror / jazz scores won't be interested) but also and very importantly, a particularly sattisfying listening experience on album. The last piece is very powerful too.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Just another listen, nope, still doesn't set me on fire... WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with me? I used to be a huge fan of the Horner, I still adore his better 80s and 90s stuff, but this is just not of the same quality. Does anyone else find the mix on the album to be totally underwhelming? I mean if I compare that to the sheer power of say Braveheart, or Krull (but that is like the total badass end of the orchestral power spectrum), Avatar's mix is just not in the same league, not even close. And the synthesized choir could've been omitted as it doesn't gel well with the ethnic sounding stuff. In Titanic it didn't bother me, but here it does.

    I do like some of the tracks though and the main theme is glorious and memorable, but most of the album just flies by me without me raising my head. I could even go as far and say some parts are boring. Even the recent 'Boy With the Striped Pyjamas' is more emotionally engaging. Maybe I'm just getting tired to his same old tricks. Or maybe I'm just plain insane... crazy

    I'll just stop posting about this score now, because my opinion of it is still the same: better than average, but ultimately a letdown. If my opinion changes in the future I'll say so (only time will tell). Not that any of you care what I think about it. cheesy

    Yeah... that's what happens with limited composers. In fact, it's have been long time since I listened some piece composed by Wagner.
