    Prince of Persia- Sands of Time~HGW

    Yeap, I know, I know! Controversial critiques for both the score and the film, but what can I do? I really like it! It's an eastern farytale and believe you me I need some fairytale in my life right now!

    Been playing alot of Powell lately. There's so much joy in his music, that it always makes me in a great mood. Have played and rated the following scores:

    Powell: How to train your dragon (****½) - Wonderful new themes with that Powell sound I love. Might evolve into a *****-rating with more listens.

    Powell: Evolution (***½) - Has some great themes, but alot of filler too. Cues 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 22, 23 is all one needs, and it's 20 minutes of non-stop goodness.

    Powell: Rat race (**½) - No themes have gotten to me, but it's all cute and well-made music. Perhaps additional playing will make me like it more.

    Powell: Endurance (***) - I don't get why other people rant about this one.

    Powell & Gregson-Williams: Antz (*****) - I love all the cues. It's rare to get a score so enjoyable all the way through.

    Powell & Gregson-Williams: Chicken run (*****) - Sounds great, with some wonderful themes.

    Powell & Gregson-Williams: Shrek (****) - I love the themes, but there's alot of uninteresting stuff as well.

    Gregson-Williams: Shrek 2 (***½) - Seems a more professional and consistant album than the first one, but to be honest alot of it bores me.

    One of my favourite Powell scores for a comedy: 'The Chase Begins' - 'Flights Cancelled' - 'Helicopter Dance' - 'Rat Race Suite' just to name a few include most of Powell's trademarks for the genre.

    Indeed, it's not bad. I also like the tracks "Chasing the bull" and "Chosen to run for Ethiopia" which has that joyful Powell sound, in its early stages. "The final race" is also a very good track.

    When I say that "I don't get why other people rant about this one" what I'm actually saying is that I don't yet get it. I'm sure this score will make a bigger impact with additional listens, but for the moment alot of its running time bores me.

    I think what turns me off the most is the song "My son". This track has all the elements of a modern film ballad that I loath, and it's so bad it sounds almost like a parody.

    When talking of Powell, nobody ever talks about Forces of Nature! Obviously because it was never released, and the film was poorly received and quickly forgotten, but I really think the score is an underrated Powell gem that I thoroughly enjoyed for a long time.

    That list made me remember it again... must dig it up soon!

    Haven't heard that one. Will try to see if I can find something from it.

    Oh, and btw, "Coming back around" from "How to train your dragon" <- Cue of the year!

    Drumline is also excellent.

    And Agent Cody Banks is one of his best if you don't have that already.

    Drumline has some excellent excellent cues that seem too short amongst sort of okayish ones that seem too long. That's the frustrating thing about that score

    Every thriller score the rc team produced since, sounds like Zimmer's THE RING, only half as inspired.

    NP:Iron Man 2 (Debney)

    Give me "Monaco" and "iron man battle the drones" anytime instead the bland and uninspired Sands of TIme.

    This is compose for orchestra!!!!

    If you think Sands of Time is bland and uninspired, then I don't really understand why you would like Iron Man 2 more. The only positive thing about it is the fact that you can hear more orchestra. IM2 makes IM1 sounds like it's full of character and personality.

    the 2 tracks I said contains all the power that Sands of time doesn't. The rest is even more bland than harry's score.

    Perhaps so, but as a score goes, POP:SOT is much more worthwhile than IM2 can ever be.

    It's okay. It's not one I play very often to be honest. (I place in in my 'lower tier' of Powell scores.)

    The Pick Up Artist | georges delerue

    I somewhat never got into this composer, but recently I tried again with the 2CD compilation of Varèse. Suddenly I stumbled on the suite from The Pick Up Artist and I fell in love. love I love this! spin Is there a full score?

    I must say, I enjoy the other tracks a lot more than before, but this one just jumped out.
