    Link - Jerry Goldsmith

    I love this one ! It's maybe a bit repetitive for some but I like the re-use of the theme throughout the score .


    That score is a lot of fun, great stuff.

    Dark Void Bear McCreary

    Superb sci-fi/action score from McCreary. This is the sort of thing Brian Tyler aspires to, but McCreary does it with so much more style and uniqueness. If you enjoy The Expandables, you'd probably enjoy this one a lot more!


    Well, I agree that Dark Void is excellent. But I don't think that Brian Tyler aspires to create something similar. Though most of The Expendables were really mundane and generic, there were some good moments that made the movie shine. It's still his weakest score. I even prefer Eagle Eyes over it.


    The expandables is very meh.


    Yeah, though it works better in the movie. The first track works really well underscoring one of the main action highlight at the end of the scene

    The composer in fluffy mode! It's fun though. Lots of soft percussion and quirky string rhythms. Piano and ... bowls?

    Looking forward to that too. Not too sure it's my kind of thing though.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    NP: Angels & Demon - Hans Zimmer

    Haven't listen to this score in a while. While I'm still not all jazzed about the Atli Örvarsson influences, the album flows well and sounds definitely better than I had originally thought.

    NP: The Fan - Hans Zimmer

    Electronic organized chaos by way of NIN with a dash of dark orchestral beauty. The melodic passage at the beginning of the suite is one of the best bit of Zimmer's discography. I once did a reading of Dylan Thomas' "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" , with that passage in the background, and boy was that a powerful moment.

    George Washington - Laurence Rosenthal

    Intrada's double CD issue of the 1984 mini series is a delightful listen with the Golden AGe-ish stylings of Rosenthal often gently, sometimes martially punctuating the action.
    Thematic and symphonic, this lavish work just oozes the skill and love of the composer.

    At two CDs the sitting is too long, though, and interestingly the second CD makes for the best and most varied listening experience. Nevertheless this is a most heartily recommended gem of a score from a composer that clearly takes his cues and roots from a more melodic age,

    This is a good example of a score I should really listen to now that I have a bit of time on my hands. There's hundreds of scores that I have that I haven't really listened to - and now would be an excellent time to try and remedy this.

    Is it the recent Tadlow release you have Alan? I've always loved this score and will be interested to hear your opinion?
    On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt
  13. It is the Tadlow release. I've had it since it was released and have "skimmed" through the tracks, extracting the ones that sound as though they are interesting and put them on my "favourites" playlist. But I have so many on that list that they don't come up very often.

    I sometimes feel like a fraud calling myself a film music enthusiast when I rarely listen to entire score CDs. Compare that with when, in the 80s, I knew most of my records back-to-front and I sometimes wish I was back in that time.*

    Awwww, y'auld sentimental softie, you. wink

    Well, I purchased Beyond Thunderdome. And The Life And Times Of Roy Bean, based on some sound clips.
    I guess I'll never learn: I don't like Jarre's work very much.
    Is Paris Burning? is magnificent. Doctor Zhivago as well.
    Lawrence Of Arabia is very good... and that's it.

    I like a lot of his (main) themes, but his scores, not so much. slant
    It's just that I keep hoping to be surprised whenever I find a new one of his...

    Try Tai-Pan. It's my favorite Jarre score.

  16. I'm with you on this Martijn. I've never been taken with Jarre's work - the stuff I've heard anyway. I keep buying his scores to keep giving him another try. And I'll probably get Lawrence of Arabia for the same reason.

  17. LAWRENCE is a pretty safe bet. And there's always a track or two that are worth having - but that's why compilations exist.
    I wouldn't mind hearing the full score of THE FIXER one day. Jarre's theme for that is stunning.

    Jaws John Williams

    First time listening to McNeely's rerecording. Seems like a very faithful interpretation of the original as far as I can tell. I'll always like the original for the fact that it's the original, but this seems like a nice companion version to have as well.

    Classic score, one of my favourites. Can't say enough good things about this score!
  24. Never listened to this McNeely version. The original MCA Records release (Williams' own re-recording?) and the OST have been enough.

    This is a good example where I prefer the re-recording release just because it is the one that I grew up with.

    I've only ever had the OST until now. I'd completely forgotten that Williams also did a re-recording.

    This is a fine version though. McNeely gives a proper interpretation of the original score.
