    Managed to sneak in some time for a listen-

    Georges Delerue - 30 Ans de Musique de Film
    A fabulous compilation on the Odeon label. I've not listened to this often but I keep re-discovering treasures every time I return to it. This time I'm particularly fond of Heureux qui comme Ulysses (Happy he who like Ulysees). It's once again the melancholia and melody that sweeps me. What a genius!

    Andrea Guerra - Tu la Conosci Claudia?
    The main theme has all of Guerra's signatures and is fabulous-- gorgeous piano with a little mush. The rest of the score is good too. Yet another Guerra album that features the Caterina Caselli song- Insieme a te non ci sto piu. They must be incredibly hung over it.

    Lele Marchitelli - Ma Che Colpa Abbiamo Noi
    Heard one of the tracks from this in a compilation and I had to check out the full score. Immense fun with 3-4 tracks. The rest are ok. I kept returning to the track with frenzied guitars, tabla, sitar ensemble with electronics. Fun fun fun!

    Is this a new score? --> Andrea Guerra - Tu la Conosci Claudia?
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    I'm sure you would. Powell is still more talented though.


    Not bashing on the guy or anything. But John Powell's been pretty talented at wading in the same pool over and over again with the animation films. I roll my eyes everytime I hear that he's doing YET another animation score. I want to see him fulfill his potential.

    Sure, he scores a lot of animation films, but I think his potential has been pretty fulfilled in other scores. Epic, action, comedy, dark, romantic, sci-fi, drama - he's more than proven his versatility and talent.

    I do agree that we have quite enough Powell animation scores though.

    Now it's official (in all the meaning of the word) this "score" is A nightmare. It's the worst "music" i ever heard.


    I couldn't agree less. That said, you have to play the game to fully appreciate the music. Trust me, playing the game with tracks like 'Extraction Point', 'Retreat and Reveille', 'Onwards', 'Code of Conduct' or 'Safeguard' in the background is nothing but a pleasure.

    Powell's potential has been completely fulfilled in scoring animated films.

    Not per se, but the types of animation that Powell tends to work on lend themselves to a particular style of score. (A style I love, but not one that I want to hear all the time.)

    Powell is very good at capturing the tone of a zany and imaginative comedy. But when you think about it he is very comfortable in any genre. I just find he is at his best when he can really stretch his wings and let nothing hold him back. Scores like Horton, Ice Age, Happy Feet, etc allow him to do that.

    you're right. the music in the game is awesome. it's pure energy. the music makes the action more intense. while fighting against 100 enemies and explosions all over the place, the music makes the game experience more exciting and intense. the score has also some great themes, especially in CODE OF CONDUCT and EXTRACTION POINT. for me it's a fantastic action score.

    NP: Land Of The Giants - John Williams

    I know it's not to everyone's taste but I really enjoy Williams' television scores for Irwin Allen.
    Giants has many great musical moments that heighten the fun and excitement of the pilot episode.
    And his two main themes for Season 1 and 2 are also very cool! cool

    Again...music that fits well in the context....DAMMED!

    How many times you could listen the actual score without playing the game????

    That's all I needed it to be. There are lots of Zimmer and Co. scores of the same style you can choose if you wanna enjoy them outside of its context. Again, playing the game with the tracks I've mentioned (and the ones that are not in the release) is simply amazing.

    It's his best work to date imo, as emotional and at the same time beautiful he can get.

    Haven't played the whole album in a while. The final three cues usually do it for me. cool

    Fantastic score nonetheless.

  1. NP: 'Desmond Distraught' from LOST 3 (Giacchino)

    This theme stood out in one of Anthony's suites as one of Giacchino's finest melodies. Nice work!

  2. NP: Marnie (Herrmann)

    Sometimes Herrmann feels irritatingly over-the-top and unsubtle. Today, he's devastatingly romantic.

    I'm in XIX London mood...

    " My Mind Rebels at Stagnation " a great dramatic statement of bad guy's theme
    " Data, Data , Data" a sensual and playful track for Mcadams character
    " marital sabotage" a interesting action track that opens the movie

    and the 18 minutes masterpiece!!!

    I will play next: From hell (Jones)

    I don't remember nothing interesting on it but I will try again...

    Whoah! Major juxtaposition!
    From Hell is a very dark score.
    I like it a lot, but I really need to be in the mood for it.

    Don't the short tracks make this album a bit disjointed?
    I liked the music when I was watching the film but I haven't bought the album yet - I don't like when there are so many short tracks on an album.
