    It's the kind of score you simply can't judge until you've listened to the entire thing...it's an unfolding musical drama rather than a collection of unconnected cues.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    It's gorgeous; thematic and full of melody and passion, can't understand why anyone wouldn't like it.

  1. The Good German - Thomas Newman

    The title track to this score is one of Newman's most accomplished pieces to this day. I have never heard a more bittersweet, cynical "romance" theme in my life. It could be played as background music to my love life... shame

    Spartacus - Alex North

    My first listen to the deluxe release (finally!) Have only got time for half an hour or so - but it sounds magnificent, since it IS magnificent. Definitely a contender for my own #1 favourite score of them all.

    True; this is where Newman draws inspiration from for Good German.

    The Deep - John Barry

    First listen. Oh dear. I don't think there will be many more listens.


    I'm surprised you don't like this James, I thought it would be right up your alley. What don't you like about it if you don't mind me asking? Other than the disco version of the theme they had to use for the end credits I absolutely love it!

    NP: Wah-Wah - Patrick Doyle

    While most have been mightily impressed with Doyle's epic adventure sound as of late, I'm finding that his smaller, more intimate film scores of the past 5-10 years or so to be far more fascinating, more meaningful and more fulfilling. As You Like It, Nanny McPhee, and Nouvelle-France come to mind as well as this this lovely dramatic score for the 2005 film, Wah-Wah. Written mostly for piano and heavy strings this score stays mostly in a minor mode for much of its playing time until the soaring, lyrical, and mindblowing final track. As you listen can really feel that Doyle put his whole heart into this score. A very personal score for a composer that can almost do no wrong.

    -Erik-


    Such a stirring, heartfelt score; shame so few people know it; for me, it's his best, most emotional score to date and an absolute must-have for everyone.


    Ooh, yes. I love Wah Wah. It's my favorite Doyle score. I wholeheartedly agree with the rest of the scores you just mentioned, Erik. That is my favorite kind of music from Doyle. I love his more grand style, too, but these smaller more beautiful scores are right up my alley.

    NP - Warriors of Virtue - Don Davis.

    Not bad at all. It's got some great themes.

    Superb, who'd a thought I'd say my favourite score of the year would be a score by Hans Zimmer? Wonders never cease.

    True, wah-wah is gorgeous, Doyle can write so meaningful in this style...my 2nd favorite from him is Nouvelle France, another underrated gem.

    Not really my cup of tea . There's a few decent tracks on it but it gets kinda boring after a while .
    Something I don't have with Giacchino's MoH work , that simply rocks !

    However, even in the Golden Age, it's hard to find a love theme quite like that. (Some David Raksin tunes come to mind, but even they are pretty sunny, and not so cynical.)

    These are dark times indeed when even Timmer admires a Zimmer score!
    I should have known by the fact that their names only differ by one letter!

    I confess, it's a great score. Probably my most played album this year so far!

    There's some amazing material on here - Sammath Naur is spectacular and makes much more musical sense than the final film version of the Ring's destruction.
