    NP:Kung Fu Panda (Zimmer and Powell)

    I'm not embrassed to say it's one of my favourites scores from both composers. I think it's sublime, and it's fits the movie like a globe.


    I completely agree.

    NP: Two Brothers - Stephen Warbeck

    An under-appreciated gem?

    CHRISTOPHE BECK - Percy Jackson & The Olympians- The Lightning Thief (2010)

    Very impressive. But i doubt i'll remember any of it in a year or so.

    GHOSTWRITER - Alexandre Desplat

    It's got his name written all over it, in every single note and orchestration. Not one of his strongest efforts, but i believe that's not due to lack of quality, but part of the aesthetic decisions made on this film's music. It reminds me of eras past. Sounds like a score that would elegantly but discreetly underline the drama of the narrative and just that. We're not very used to this kind of approaches anymore.

    I've been listening to the "Rhinehart Publishing" track for a while now. It's short but there's something weirdly attractive about it for me! The rest of the score is quite nice too. Can't wait for the other 2 massive Desplat scores coming this year - Tree Of Life and Deathly Hallows.

    I'm not sure about Tree Of Life, but Deathly Hallows is being released in November.
  7. Rent-a-Cop (Jerry Goldsmith)

    The wonderful main theme and synthy percussion are what do it to me for this particular Goldsmith. But I agree he has done much better. I enjoy it a lot though. smile

    One of those early Zimmer scores I can´t bear now. The synth sound is older than me.

    I just felt like listening to SOMETHING BIG !!!

    Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (Johnny T. W.)

    This isn't the best Star Wars on the whole, but this one definitely holds my favourite music ever to grace a SW score album + the addition of two brilliant themes: for the ewoks & the emperor. punk

    The epitome of Williams' symphonic scoring, where all the themes that introduced before get their best performances, culminating into the most spine-tingling and spectacular finale on disc 2. Sadly they don't make em like this anymore. sad

    Though that doesn't stop me enjoying the crap out of this one each time.

    Favourite cues: practically all of them. punk

    I return to the trilogy music about once a year or year and a half (at most) to help me remember what real film music is. cool

    What's wrong with it? I usually only listen to the re-recording of ROTJ as the sound quality on the RCA version is dreadful and worse than Empire. rolleyes
  16. "The Pretender" (Velton Ray Bunch)

    Various cues and main title themes (it changed a few times) from the short lived TV series. Says "For promotional use only -- Not licensed for public sale", yet I bought it when BuySoundtrax was selling it (I think it's still for sale).


    Some nice score cues on it. "Jarod's Mom" is a sad piece that tries to reach some glorious moment, but is quashed -- just like in the scene for which it accompanied in the series.

    Not enough score cues on the CD, and the sequencing leaves much to be desired.


    Bunch won, as I recall, an Emmy for his work on a particular episode of "Quantum Leap", took over for the last season of "Nash Bridges", and is a protege of Mike Post, doing additional scoring, and ghosting on various famous shows Post worked on.



    After this CD, ANOTHER "Second Chance" spin for Mark Snow's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" TV mini series score. I never enjoyed it, in spite of it's popularity among some score fans. I recall it being a little too bland for me. Couple that with finding out his buddy John Debney ghostwrote some of the score, well ... this time will probably yeild the same results.

    Good, it's not just me being picky then!
  19. Well regardless of how they sound compared to other recordings, I don't have any problem with them. I love listening to those double disc editions, and browsing the little booklets that come with them. The sound is totally fine with me and I don't see a reason to go out and get supposedly better versions. cool

  20. "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", by Mark Snow, has indeed failed again.

    It's a weak score that even sometiems mickey mouses around, and has annoyingly thin and whimpy orchestratons at times. I don't know who to blame for the orchestrations as the only two credited on the CD have already shown with their other film and TV orchestrating they got the chops. I can only assume because of that, Debney ghosting, and the mickey mousing and line of blandness about it, that maybe this was a rush job, possibly replacing another composer.

    It's the Jedi album that they really tanked. The majority of the second disc sounds AWFUL! AM Radio awful. If you compare that album to the brilliant sound of the 4CD Box Set that came out in 1993 you'd NEVER go back to the RCA editions.

    NP : PROPHECY - Leonard Rosenman



    Probably not for many here, this has a lot of atonal, textural sounds and "BIG MONSTER" music ( which includes great use of the 'Blaster Beam' ), I really like it but I doubt it's one that'll get a lot of plays but I'm happy I got it.

    Been in a Cosma mood these past days. Listened to:

    Les malheurs d'Alfred - *** (A bit too silly for my taste)
    Kidnapped - ****
    Les roses de Dublin - ****
    Les mondes engloutis - **** (I especially love the catchy main theme song, even though I normally avoid songs)
    La gloire de mon père - ***½
    Le château de ma mère - ****
    Les coeurs brûlés - ****½ (The winner among my Cosma scores, with 3 equally extraordinary themes) bhangra

    Currently playing:

    Last of the dogmen (David Arnold)

    Very Barry-like, especially the sweeping and ultra-beautiful main theme. Currently listening to the heroic action track "The country line". Very exciting cue.

    NP: Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - Hans Zimmer

    Good example of how a poor album presentation makes the score appear dull when it's actually a pretty fun Zimmer/RC romp. Removing some dronefests like Hello Beastie and adding some great unreleased tracks like Zanelli's Bone Cages and Sponsler/Gire's Jar Of Dirt makes a much more fun and enjoyable listening experience for me.
  25. James Horner - Apollo 13

    The conversation about Horner's approach to music reminded me how great this score is. I listen to it (the promo) once in a while and it never ceases to amaze me. It's one of the scores which MAKE the movie what it is.

    I really like this one. Familiar Rosenman style - and very much in-your-face.
