    NP: The Hurt Locker - Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders

    I don't know how it works like in the film itself, but except the last track it's terrible as a standalone listening experience!


    Does the fact that when I saw the film I heard no music surprise you..


    I'm more surprised at the fact that they nominated this drone for an Oscar! Undoubtedly it's just an aftermath of the film's critical appreciation, methinks. There were far more superior scores last year which could've been nominated in its place (especially Desplat's Twilight score).

    Are you suggesting that Oscars have no subjective criteria about the music category or that it's just filler that only us poor film score geeks take seriously? Oh dear God, how dare you!

    NP: Alice in Wonderland ~ Danny Elfman

    Very, very, very nice! From the very first notes it screams "Elfman". I will have to agree with Martijn that it's not fairytalish or sweet but I just adore the romantic, moody atmosphere and I can't wait to see how it works in the film. This is the Elfman I like and I have to admit that Alice's theme is addicted and I have been singing Aaaalice Aaaaalice all morning! I loved that story when I was a little girl the scores goes to my "favourite" list without a doubt.

    HANS ZIMMER - the last samurai

    Bliss. His post Gladiator era, the 3-4 years that followed it, was pure Zimmer bliss for me. Looking forward to a come back with Henri 4 perhaps.

    Perfect, isn't it? The mood, the way the music flows, the strong themes... Dreamy... I think that's the word. I'll be playing it next then. smile

    NP: Henri IV - Hans Zimmer and Henri Jackman

    Looks like your wish has been granted, Demetris! smile I think it's more similar to Last Samurai than King Arthur - lots of strings and soft female voices, mild electronics and plucked instruments, rising percussive beats to create tension. The score is more inclined on the mellow side rather than action, although there are a few good action cues like Henri's Escape. Surprisingly, Hans seems to have reused the Da Vinci Code Chevaliers string ostinato - listen to the last track and parts of the first one! But it's a fine, enjoyable score with a grand quality to it, very good!

    Adorable atmosphere, sentimental themes, and the build-up, the musical development is really working here.

    it's a good score by zimmer and jackman, especially the softer moments. the action cues are solid. the orchestration is a little bit to "modern" for my taste. for me these cues sound more like nick-glennie smith style. but you're right, HENRI'S ESCAPE is a really good track. sounds a little bit like UP IS DOWN from pirates 3. finally it's a really enjoyable score.

    It is brilliant and deserves it's classic status. I love the score but I rarely play it, maybe because I'm so familiar with it?

    Great score (I had the pleasure to listen the main theme live when Bernstein came to Barcelona for a concert) and one (if not THE) of my favourite movies ever. The cast is unbeatable, there´s action, comedy, suspense...everything. A classic.
    Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you
  17. Danny Elfman - Wolfman

    Listening to this and earlier his Alice in Wonderland score makes me sure that film music isn't in a bad shape today!

    Questa Specie D'Amore - Ennio Morricone

    I'm new to this score even though it's from 1972. All I can say is: it's wonderful. Every single track is a delight. Highly recommended for those who love the emotional, melodic side of the Maestro.

    Thanks! I gather it'll make a good combination with Badelt's SOLOMON KANE.

    I think is bland and nothing memorable.

    I will. SOLOMON KANE is largely considered as drone too, but i easily fall for long, dramatic string-led Zimmer styled scores without the electronics' crap hell.

    NP:Green Zone (Powell)

    How I said...the electronic bits, use of brass, distorsions and sound dessign are highly influenced by United 93. and I love it, but...

    while I guess the music will fit the movie very well, outside it's pure noise.

    Of course, Powell's noise it's far better than other composer's noise.

    No. I describred Green Zone as pure noise. I said Both shares some "style", but it doesn't make the same score. In fact are very diferent one to another.

    United 93 is one of my favourites powell scores ever! "Phone calls"- "the End"-"Dedication" are what the thind red line if for Zimmer.
