    NP: Alice In Wonderland - Danny Elfman

    ...has finally overtaken The Wolfman as best score of the year. Elfman is on a roll. :tipmyhat:


    So.... a score with 100 reprises of the same theme, and a score wich uses a theme from other composer are the bests scores of the year??? dizzy


    Eh?

    Anyway, Alice is up there for me as well. That theme is brilliant and Elfman's variations (that's for Jordi) on that theme are excellent. The Wolfman's pretty awesome as well! Elfman is at the top of his game!

    He certainly is. From Wanted onwards, he's been composing KICK ASS scores. With wolfman, alice and the terminator score he's on a roll for sure, delivering some of the best works film score has to offer these days.

    I'd go further back then that, Demetris. I think once Spider-Man hit in 2002 he has been on a roll. Sure, there are a few Meet The Robinson's, Men in Black II's, Nacho Libre's in there but you also have Red Dragon, Hulk, Big Fish, Spider-Man 2, Corpse Bride, Serenada Schizophrana, and Standard Operating Procedure.

    NP: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - Patrick Doyle

    Too long since I've listened to this dark, Romantic work that just oozes Gothic influences all over the place.
    Broad, bold and uncompromising, this score is just the thing to match your world view when things tend to not go your way. One of Doyle's finest works, heavy and doom-laden, with a tinge of the ethereal.
    Love this score!


    I really like the love theme, but isn't this just a bit loud to be completely effective at conjuring gothic atmosphere? (Also, where's the gyspy darkness?! I want moody gypsy darkness, dammit.)

    Have you seen the film?
    It's a big and loud film. It really fits the mood, and by Gum it's a fine listen on CD.

    I like the bombast of this score! For instance... the scherzo written for The Creation is incredibly effective in the film and not a piece I would have associated with the creation of the monster but Doyle really out did himself on that one! He captures the frenetic energy of scene perfectly.

    Can't disagree with the quality of these works, although i am no fan of nacho libre or big fish but still, there are some great works in there which however aren't accessible as his output from the last 2 years, when it comes to the general public at least. Stuff like the Serenada, are tough and eclectic listens, particularly aimed at his fans the way i see it. SOP is good but very GLASS-esque. From WANTED onwards it's 100% KICKA ASS Elfman smile

    The film, frankly, is one the most extraordinary directorial disasters of its time. I can't absolve Patrick Doyle for being the guy who tried to keep in spirit with a bowling alley massacre by picking up a gun and firing some rounds himself. wink

    I say this as a fan in general of what Branagh and Doyle were doing in the 90s.

    Poop to you, Sir.
    Good is good, whether the setting be a bowling alley massacre, a 19th century evil scientist's laboratory or a cartoon spaceship. And by Gum, this score is good.

    I agree on Frankenstein being a fantastic effort - I would even go a bit further by calling it Doyle's best work to date. But I fail to see how this score would be too loud, too bombastic or even too dark which people continuously claim it to be. Sure, it's got all these elements littered troughout the score, but it also has sweeping, majestic themes, a tragic tone and lush romantics in tracks like Yes I Speak, Please Wait and The Wedding Night which keep it all in a firm balance (albeit all delivered with grand gestures and a certain theatricality, the whole thing is unmistakably tragic). In short, it's the perfect score for Mary Shelley's classic (which isn't really a horror story to begin with, not in the classic sense at least).

    Frankenstein is one of his best scores, if not the best, indeed.

  13. I bow to the love theme's magnificence, but there's neither proportion nor journey here for me.

    And not nearly enough gypsy cliches either, dammit. Anyone would think there wasn't a torch-bearing mob waiting in the wings the whole film. (How I'd love to see the Branagh treatment of that old staple.)

    Just finished with Morricone's epic HUNDRA. There's a great love theme in there as well.

    Up Next: Star Trek - Michael Giacchino

    Not one of the best Trek scores but still very entertaining and emotional.

  18. NP: Robin Hood (Streitenfeld)

    I can't say I dislike this score. It's simple, but having listened to what Zimmer's score would have sounded like last night (At World's End), I can say it's genuinely better music.

  20. Robocop - Basil Poledouris

    The Intrada release. I've grown so used to the sequencing of the old Varese album, I really have to get used to this one. But the fact still stands I love this music. One of the most interesting scores Basil's ever done, full of great ideas, cool as ice synths and an awesome theme (love the one in 'Force Shoots Robo'). And the improved sound quality does wonders for my enjoyment. punk

    Ok, the main theme ('From Master to Student to Master, 7:25 mark) reminds me of 'Gathering All the Na'vi Clans for Battle' from Avatar.

    I love this guy.

    Karate Kid is pretty good, but I'm kinda disappointed... I went in expecting lots of Chinese instruments and action material featuring the same, since I love East Asian music of that kind in general. But apart from the occasional flute and metal clangs, this is by far a "Eastern flavoured" Western orchestral score, the ethnic instruments are quite less. Also there isn't much action or dramatic music. It's a good album though, with some soothing material and typical Horner orchestral material sprinkled throughout (including the aforementioned piano). Will give it more listens and I'm pretty certain I'll like it more eventually.

    The last seven cues are pretty good. I can't see how they can fit in this kind of picture though.

    NP : ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND - Danny Elfman


    I'm glad I keep an open mind ( or should that be ear ), when I heard Elfman was scoring this I thought "oh no, here we go" rolleyes but I am so pleased to be proved wrong, this is a great score, IMO, the best of the year so far, I absolutely love it and that theme just won't leave my head cool
