SAMUEL SIM - Emma
Can't remember the last time i was so annoyed by a score. Emma is a BBC mini series (if i am not mistaken) from last year and the score desperately tries to sounds like another elegant and orchestral Marianelli, only it lacks melodic discipline, actual themes and character. It's all over the place without any form of continuity or thematic coherence, to the point one quickly looses interest and attention. Next.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

NP:The Sum of All fears (goldsmith)
Gorgeous main theme. Powerful Heroic Fanfarre. Addictive middle eastern theme.
Why we have a complete from Chain reaction, and not from this score????
I remember there is a lot of unrealeased music !!! -

With that in mind, I'd probably hate Goldsmith if I didn't love him so much. [/blue]

NP: Four In The Morning - John Barry
My first listen to this score - and I've not seen the movie. But, I think that it's one of those '60s "kitchen sink dramas" that Britain did so well back then. The score's very much monothematic but Barry's dour scoring fits very well with this genre.
It may really only have the one theme, but it is quite mesmerising!
Yeah, it's a very small score. If memory serves me right he did this score for free.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

NP : THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL - Paul Cantelon
My first listen to this one, I'm only half way through but it's an incredibly enjoyable score with some large nods of the hat to John Barry and Georges Delerue which, in my book is a brilliant thing!On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

NP : BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S - Henry Mancini
Wonderfully chilled out score, typical of his easy listening re-recordings. The title song isn't just one of the best film songs of all time, it's one of the best songs of all time, period!On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

One of his best scores ever. Love the mix of huge orchestra and ethnic instrumentation. -

On reflection after hearing the whole album the influence is far more Barry than Delerue, still, I thought it was very good and look forward to hearing it again. I'm glad you came around to liking it.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Yeah, it quickly managed to win me over with its graces, after the first listen and after watching the movie too. Unlike his score for W.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

MY reaction could have been similar to yours. I didn't like it after listening to the soundtrack, saw the movie and heard the score again and decided that the whole enterprise could have been better. Everything was wasted in the movie. Gorgeous set design didn't get the treatment it deserved from the direction, good actors couldn't fix the stilted dialogue, and the low key, middling score made the whole thing feels like a step-brother of The Tudors.
In short, big "MEH!" all around

Good TV score for a greatly missed animated series. -

One of the greatest scores ever produced with one of the loveliest melodies ever written for film, 'Carol Anne's Theme'.

I can play that one in the morning, noon, afternoon.
In the morning that's one hell of a wake-up call, I can assure you."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -
- CommentTimeJan 25th 2010 edited
I prefer not to play it in the mornings or afternoon. It's just one of those scores worth waiting until the end of the day I suppose, but mostly because it's the type of score that doesn't suit daylight. Surely others have "evening" scores and albums? -
- CommentTimeJan 25th 2010
I have been playing the score of AVATAR, twice in a row and I have a question: I own the original CD album but it sounds a bit low in volume. I always have to turn up the volume a bit and also, the signs on my equalizer doesn't really move during playing.
I would like to know if it is the same with you too or it is just my CD (which would be really strange...)? -
- CommentTimeJan 25th 2010
Never noticed that myself, but I'll give it a listen now and see if I notice anything. -
- CommentTimeJan 25th 2010
Yes, it is a bit quite now you mention it. It's mixed low in the film too. -

NP:Weather man (zimmer)
A great music to listen while you are at work.
It's the best way to listen "Wicker Park" sound without feeling guilty to listen a mediocre composer . I LOVE THIS SOUUUUUUUUUND!
Anyway, I wonder how much music is actually from Zimmer and wich is from Levine since sometimes it sounds like "nip/tuck" -
