    Blimey. Not sure I love it that much, but thne there are very few CDs I would pay 4-5 times the original price for (mostly because it's a lot of money regardless of what's on the CD).

    Le Voyage En Ballon - Jean Prodromidès

    Powerful scoring, charming as all git-out, and just a joy to listen to.
    What a fine score this is. Great theme, and a lyricism that drives home how much this is missing in modern-day film scoring.

    I honestly can't understand some people referring to this score as "fluffy". confused
    There's absolutely nothing "fluffy" about it. Due to the nature of the film there is a certain playfulness, assuredly, but for the rest this is as robust a score as anything ever done by Tiomkin, Korngold or any other Golden Ager (and it certainly in style and tone harkens back to those days).

    I want MORE!!!! 40min of music from Gavin and about 15-20min of really excellent stuff. A bit Disney, not much MV/RC, mostly orchestral, some ethnic/world material, all good stuff.


    Has it been released on CD?

    It's quite fluffy. At least that first track is.

    I've not actually been able to make it past that first track, which I thought I liked but then realised I didn't.

    Available through iTunes. Only two tracks. But the other tracks works pretty well.

    BTW, I realized a few thing about the album and I've edited my quote.

    NP: Elizabeth And Essex: The Classic Film Scores of Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Erich Wolfgang Korngold
    Charles Gerhardt conducting the National Philharmonic

    Top notch stuff! Arguably one of the top 3 albums in the RCA Classic Film Scores series. There are only 7 tracks but when you look at what is featured in those 7 track your jaw drops to the floor. The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, The Prince and Pauper, Anthony Adverse, Sea Wolf, Deception, Another Dawn and Of Human Bondage. All classics!

    NP: Salomé - Roque Baños

    Fook me but I love this score, but then I am extremely partial to flamenco influences. love
    Salomé treads (and oversteps at times) the boundary betwean Easter and flamenco music (a line that was never very defined anyway, obviously). Wild, emotional, powerful and off-beat.

    Great threading melodies throughout, and flamenco artist Tomatito playing his heart out.
    Beautiful mix, both in an orchestrational sense (middle-eastern instruments, flamenco guitar and symphony orchestra mix ver well!) and in a technical sense.

    Love it.


    It's an absolutely delightful score, a real treat from start to finish!
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    NP:Total Recall Deluxe Edition (Goldsmith)

    One of my all time favourite scores.

    "Clever Girl" is probably my favourite action cue.

    But it's a massive score. one of this big and bold scores. I love it!

    One of the most complex action scores ever composeds and Goldsmith best integration of electronics.

    Mickey mousing?
    You SERIOUSLY think Voyage En Ballon has extreme Mickey Mousing???
    Are we listening to the same soundtrack here?
    The theme is playful, absolutely, but these qualifications are a huge disservice, and simply not correct. There s not one single bit of mickey mousing in this score whatsoever. In fact it's one of the most thematic (almost to the point off monothematic) things I have heard in a LONG time.

    Alsace is brooding and moody, the second half of Paris is huge and majestic; the impressive Chenonceaux is quiet and reserved and Les Grand Voliers move into an extremely stirring apotheosis with it's thunderous, powerful Conan-like choir. ET CETERA!

    I simply cannot believe you said that.
    Aside from its "happy" main theme, it's the absolute opposite of what you describe.
    I strongly suggest giving it another whirl. The only explanation I have right now is that you're talking about another score altogether!

    Yeah, it's not mickey mousing at all. dizzy I just don't really like the music... hard to explain, but it just doesn't sit right. It's very melodic and pretty and I can definitely see why you like it - just not for me!

    Players - Jerry Goldsmith

    An absolute treat! Such warm, rich music and a genuine classic Goldsmith main theme. Brilliant sound, too, especially compared with the old bootleg.

    I don't think D meant 'Mickey Mousing', he said Mickey Mousey which means...erm....all light and sweet...erm....i guess? dizzy

    NP: Alien 2 CD Deluxe Edition

    I was hoping it would interest me more, compared to the old score release. But alas, it's effective but hardly a score I will listen to

    No surprise there since Alien doesn't exactly make for a very pleasant listen. Great score, but you do have to be in the mood for it if you want to hear it outside of the movie. Not one that often gets a listen from me too.

    I know Alien, I know it was going to be much more effective than entertaining, but still, it doesn't really sting

    I think what he means is: IT EXUDES A CONTINENTAL ELEGANCE THAT OUR BEST COMPOSERS CAN'T SEEM THE PULL OFF.
    cool

    And D, if you think BALLON has mickey-mousing, then you don't really know the meaning of the word. Mickey-mousing is when musical form is abandoned to follow onscreen action, and it doesn't happen in BALLON. wink

    The only thing that bothers me about Promenides score is that I didn't actually hear a score made by a composer last year that was actually as good as it in its genre. Or for some years running.

    NP From Paris with Love (David Buckley)

    Expected more of this one after hearing a clip at hans-zimmer.com. But it is very similar to Harry Gregson-Williams "Pelham 123", that is, boring and uninspired. Too bad, I like Buckley´s "The Forbidden Kingdom" and "Town Creek" (in the movie) and was hoping for an orchestral action score. As has been said in Buckley´s thread, probably they wanted a HGW type of score. Well, they got it.
