    The other one is Bernard Herrmann conducts Great British Film Music and that contains ( I'm going from memory ) five tracks and is approximately 10+ minutes but I do remember it contains the 'Moon Gun' music, I love this recording but it's been years since I've played it, it's on LP, one of his Phase 4 Decca recordings and I've no idea if it was ever released on CD?


    It was, but it's a bit of a chore to find it: it's been out of print for years.

    I'm sure Geoff Love did a darn fine version of the Things To Come March on one of his many albums!?


    He certainly did!

    Great album! cool

    EDIT: Damn. Alan beat me to it. slant
    Oh well. At least I own the album! tongue


    Feeling ill has also made me braindead!!! Did we once do a thread on Geoff Love here? Within another thread? At Scorereviews?

    Or am I thinking of another board entirely??? dizzy

    La Bibbia: Giacobbe - Marco Frisina

    Amazing score with some beautiful vocal tracks. It really captures the ancient wonder of the Bible.


    punk Cool! Do you have the other Bibbia scores?
    If I get the time next month, I plan to watch all the Bibbia movies (they're on Netflix) and listen to all the scores and compile a mini-index of comments (I won't call them reviews)

    The Edge (Jerry Goldsmith)

    Been ages since hearing this one. What joy revisiting it, first of all because of the brilliant theme, second due to the totally gobsmacking action music. Jerry never lost his masterful touch, even in his later years. The Edge and the ones that came after it are testament to that fact. The tribal sounding suspense cues couldn't have been written more effectively for such a survival / adventure thriller.


    I must listen to that one again, it's been too long shame
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh

    Star Trek: Generations Dennis McCarthy

    I prefer this to Jerry Goldsmith's score to The Final Frontier. There, I said it.


    Egads! I saw this lunatic opinion and instantly assumed it was from Martijn... but it was a British person!?

    Sounds like an FSM project! Doesn't matter WHO really. I've heard the Innerspace boot and I hate to say it but the commercial album release is actually the best presentation of the score. The complete score drags and drags horribly.

    I've found the bootleg to be unlistenable because of the sound. I remember from watching the film that the score is really, really bitty. I hope the company that does release it has the courage to not just put out every last note in film order, because that wouldn't work at all.

    that's why I hoped it would have been Intrada, because they are masters at presenting their music in the best possible presentation

  13. I'd say LLLR. I think it was them that said this(?), and "Explorers" were possible, but not for about two years as the rights were harder than average titles fro mthe now open studio vault. They said that a few months ago.

    NP: Gods & Generals - John Frizzell and Randy Edelman
    Outstanding! Absolutely delightful to listen to, despite it's rather dramatic tone. The chorus passage in "To The Stone Wall" alone always blows me away. Curious to know why Edelman had to contribute to the music as well, since nothing that I heard sounds like it's coming mainly from his venue so I assume he's patched some of Frizzell's tunes.


    Been listening to this one today. Love it. I remember purchasing this score when it first came out because the reviews were raving about the theme. And what a theme. Noble, tragic, inspirational and ultimately "epic" in all sense of the word. I'm surprised that it hasn't been used in previews since.

    I do really, I think it's pretty decent. I just don't think it's as good as all the other Star Trek movie scores.

  17. It's one of the best Trek movies scores. And cue-for-cue, better than "The Undiscovered Country", and easily beats down "Nemesis".

    Fair enough. Surprised you'd take Voyage Home over Generations though? (Although Voyage Home does have a fantastic theme.)

    Also, I've never been much of a fan of Nemesis. This coming from the same person who absolutely adores Insurrection, generally lauded as Goldsmith on 'auto-pilot'.
  21. Certainly nothing "auto pilot" about Insurrection.

    I think Insurrection and Nemesis are both pretty auto-pilot like, but I'd take Goldsmith on auto-pilot over most composers flat-out. The man just cranked out amazing themes, time after time. I don't think he's ever been given credit for that. What's the last action film that had a theme like 13th Warrior or for that matter Insurrection? And while the action music in those later scores was all pretty interchangeable, he did it so well.

  23. Insurrection has what Nemesis lacks, an emotional core. So as opposed to Nemesis I don't think Insurrection is Jerry on auto-pilot, because the ideas behind it are well thought out. It has a sound that is bound to impress (though not impress like he did a decade or two before), whereas Nemesis doesn't have a soul and does nothing to impress me, save maybe for one cue.

  24. The Devil's Own (James Horner)

    Not one of his best, but the irish approach does wonders for the themes in this one. It's a score I don't put on often, because of its overall depressing sound, but the few lovely cues here are vintage Horner and are worth it to revisit once in a while. And I adore the poem and its melody during the opening and ending tracks, is that Sara Clancy who's singing? Such a sweet voice. smile

    The Princess and the Frog - Randy Newman

    Some lovely songs (particularly "Down in New Orleans" and "Dig a Little Deeper") and a lovely score, which is much more laid-back and romantic than any of his other scores for animation.

    Great Herrmann Score
    Perfect Theme. Every time I hear it I'm reminded of the fantastic opening credits as well as Hitchcock's bus cameo.
    Besides, James Mason's the man. cool
