NP - Bandolero! - Jerry Goldsmith
There is something about this main theme that I just don't like. It reminds me so much of something but I can't remember what that something is. I can almost imagine a song being sung to this tune by Puff 'n Stuff (anyone know that old British children's show?). -

NP: Hachiko - A Dog's Story - Jan A.P. Kaczmarek, Road to Perdition - Thomas Newman
Hachiko was another solid piano driven score by one of the best writers of piano in film music, Mr. Kaczmarek. Road to Perdition did absolutely nothing to change my opinion of Mr. Newman.Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

NP: Take a Hard Ride - Jerry Goldsmith
Of all the Goldsmith Westerns I've been listening to lately, this is my favorite. Much more fun than 100 Rifles, which was what I played last. -

It's a good score, but I'm quite happy just with the regular album and not the expanded one.Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

This score doesn't really need an expanded version, but since I never bought the original one, I got it anyway largely to support La la's effort. And it was a good deal too at only 15 bucks. -

I don't really care for Mr. Newman, most of his 'best' scores have not made any big impact on me. My 'favourite' would probably be Angels in America.Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

Thomas Newman is one of the finest composers ever to have worked in Hollywood. That's as much a fact as the earth is round. (But then I guess if his music's not for you, it's not for you.) -

Have you heard Meet Joe Black, Kevin? The Shawshank Redemption? I agree that much of the bulk of his scores don't impact me, either, but the man writes the best finales I've ever heard! His finale to Cinderella Man is stunning also. If you haven't heard the finale tracks for those scores I would suggest a quick YouTube search for them. They are all outstanding. -

"The Brave Little toaster"
(David Newman)
One of my personal favorite Newman scores. And so help me, I really, really enjoy Van Dyke Park's songs (wonder why this occassional film scorer didn't score this, too?).The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -

Yes, in a lot of ways, he's pretty much the anti-John Williams or James Horner in that his music is more reserved and held back (with some exceptions, of course). I think his music is perfect for a quiet stroll or night in.
Picking favorites among his oeuvre is pointless as I've never heard one I didn't like from him, but Road to Perdition is nearest and dearest to me. Revolutionary Road is another one... -

And like all the genuine greats he is also one of the most influential; I expect he will remain so for many years to come. -

One of the (many) Horner works that I love to listen since minute one until the end without skipping a single second. Another one would be Legends of the Fall. Horner at his best.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

The Perfect Storm is a GREAT score... and I'd say that the original album presentation is GREAT as well. I'm not in much of a hurry to hear a complete presentation.

Ooooh. Restaurant work? No thanks. (I've applied for one myself... I just hope I hear back from the others first. I want an iPhone 4.)

Me neither. The album is as perfect a listen as I could hope for - not a single moment I'd want cut out. And at almost 80 minutes, that's the sign of a truly great score.
As much as I LOVE Avatar (perhaps marking a small shift in Horner's style?), it doesn't feel as operatic as his older scores. The only thing lacking from that score is a flow that Horner is so adept at, and that's one of the reasons I love The Perfect Storm so much. It's not a score I could take one track out of and put in a compilation! Blasphemy! -

Are you sure that the lack of flow is not because of the apparent temp track? Horner isn't just copying and pasting directly from his old scores into the Avatar score, he had to add Adiemus and Hans Zimmer to his repertoire as well.
