Careful, you'll give Demetris the wrong idea.

A fine orchestral score, nothing that really stands out but I'm still pleased to have it and at only a quid ( £1 ) I can hardly complain.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

NP: Broken Arrow - Hans Zimmer
Good album to listen to. I remember it being mixed horribly low in the movie, with only a few standout cues. The excellent treatment of the "Tragic Brotherhood" theme for the main title was one of them, and it's one of my all time favorite Zimmer theme. -

IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS | jeff and mychael danna
Such a beautiful score. Not only is Tango Amongst the Lilies a fantastic track title, it's also one of the highlights of the score. The way the second part of the piece with the violin (?) and accordion is mighty! The tongue-in-cheek atmosphere, the odd choir-like moment, ... Cool!

Such a brilliant score, it's a shame the sound quality is still poor.
I would love to hear a rerecording, it more than deserves it. -

I love Unbreakable. And I adore Vaughan Williams.
But I've never connected the two.
Which piece sounds like what? -

- CommentTimeFeb 2nd 2010
No particular piece I'd say, it's the style that's reminiscent of Vaughan Williams. It's the sting writing that mostly does it. -

And beautiful string writing it is. Each time that string section grows in "The Wreck", it just simply gets more amazingly beautiful than it was seconds ago.The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -

Exactly what Steven said. I also have an interview with JNH in an old issue of Soundtrack magazine where he talks about Vaughan Williams being the influence in his Unbreakable score.

Wow....The main theme is highly addictive, and very contemporany!
A kick Ass score! i can't believe it's one of Goldsmith earlier works.

Great score, very emotional and works wonders in the film.

I get the film music fan's equivalent of being shot in the head for saying this, but I actually like some of the dialogue pieces. The "check list" before 'The Launch' I think works quite well - it's not as though the dialogue is playing throughout the music, but rather sets up the cue quite nicely. I like that! I also like the "it's been an honour and a privilege..." just before Horner's music flares up. (If the dialogue was placed over the music, then I'd have a different opinion. But as it is, those two examples work as introductions to the cues.) -

Well it was my first listen on album so I was startled.
I like those dialogues too actually, especially the launch scene, but if I want to hear dialogues I will buy DVD... and I prefer hearing those voices with pictures of that great scene.Labels are for cans, not people. - Anthony Rapp -

True, and that's what most people say to me; "Why don't you just watch the film if you want to hear the dialogue?" But it's not really the same. The dialogue pieces introduce the cues, it's purely musical from thereon. Watching the film each time I want to get that kind of experience wouldn't prove particularly practical, especially if I want to listen to it when I'm walking down the street, in a lecture (I do that quite often) or on my bike!

I agree, the dialogues in Apollo 13 are not so annoying, because they are before the music and not on the music. -

I agree with you, it's a great album and I like the inclusion of pop standards of the era. Of course, it also helps a lot if you have the promo with extra music and no dialogue.

I don't find me returning to the album anymore since having the score only release. But that's understandable, I've sold it long ago. Just the score will do nicely for me."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. -

NP: The Fifth Element - Eric Serra
Great score for the movie. The album can be a bit of a chore to listen to, but the themes for Leeloo/Fifth Element, when they appear, are worth it. I think Mr. Serra could do great business working in Japan on anime productions, where his multi-ethnic scoring approach would be wondrous. Similar to the Yoko Kanno approach. -

Not a score I would buy, but I like the music when I watch the film, Serra's or not. It complements the less than serious tone and slightly kitschy art design of the film very well."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.
