You mean noise.
It has its moments, the expandables and Debney's predator were pure bore for me.
The expandables?

NP: Outlaws - Clint Bajakian
Bajakian doing Morricone! Solid listen!
-Erik-
Tell us more please.
It's bloody brilliant. Of course people mimicking Morricone can never be the real deal, but Outlaws is fantastic. The compositions are great, but the performance perhaps sounds a bit cheap and computer-gamey. Still, I highly recommend it.
That said, listening to the music will tell you infinitely more than hearing someone describe it:
Outlaws
The last gunfight
Showdown

Anyone else think this is an underrated score by Williams? It's certainly not mentioned often. Either way, this is a wonderful score.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I'd go as far as saying almost any Williams score not mentioned often is underrated. (Although admittedly I'm not very familiar with pre-70s Williams.) Empire of The Sun is definitely one of them, at least as far as this forum in concerned.
Not always an easy listen if you listen to the album all the way through, but it's a very satisfying and worthwhile score with some beautiful themes. -

Both film and score are terribly underrated.

I haven't played Empire of the sun in decades, but am now. First three tracks are sublime. Currently on the fourth one, which is rather tensiony.

NP: Antony and Cleopatra (John Scott)
If Scott contributed only one thing to film music, this would be more than enough. The stirring love theme, presented in a range of settings, and the delightful 'Egyptian Bacchanal' (complete with a clear flute reference to Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezade) make it for me.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Couldn't agree more. One of his best works, if not the best.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

NP: Star Command - Lee Holdridge
Bizarre little sci-fi adventure score. A standard heroic theme opens up the album with a Holst's like march underneath. The rest is synth heavy... lots of atmosphere... not terrible interesting. I guest there wasn't much of a budget on this project. I don't think many will be interested in this one... especially if you already know what Holdridge is capable of as a symphonic composer. However, the 10 minute space battle music is a lot of fun and it sound like they were able to get a sizable orchestra to perform it. Not bad! There's about 13-14 minutes of listenable music from this score. Maybe I'll play a selection on the radio show so you can all hear what I'm talking about.

Thanks for the inspiration. I'm spinning this right now. I forgot I had it.
What a delightful score!
