    NP : THE FINAL CONFLICT - Jerry Goldsmith



    Now this, this is how a choral score is done! One of the great classics of film music and a huge favourite among fans of the genre and to think it was written for such a mediochre and weak third part of a trilogy.


    A bit back to front but I'm playing this...

    NP : THE OMEN - Jerry Goldsmith



    Brilliant! I'll probably play Damien Omen II next but I'm wishing I'd played them all in order now.



    NP : DAMIEN OMEN II - Jerry Goldsmith



    For a change I thought I'd play the original film tracks. I prefer the original album rerecorded tracks but it's good to give the film tracks a work out and it's hardly a chore with such excellent music. cool

    vomit I hate when Elfman does this. Why does he accept assignments that are clearly meant for others?


    In my opinion, Marc Shaiman should have gotten the gig. I think he could have done a good score and done the film justice.

  8. It's the ultraviolet rays -- they've affected his mind.

    Or they blinded him just long enough to accidently pick up, and put in that, when he clearly meant a Goldsmith score, but after it was spinning, decided to let it play (and let his eyes heal).

    I must admit that The Final Conflict is the only one of the three scores that I can replay in such a short space of time.

    Exactly! Some people who are ideal for certain jobs don't seem to get work anymore. I also think Horner would've elevated to great heights.

    Ahah! And I just picked up again the "Amistad"-like theme at the very end of "Oceanic 815". Great stuff! Whiew, some scores just naturally grow on you and it's a pure pleasure discovering them. But if I *do* end up liking Lost, I swear I'll never have struggled so much with any other score. It's been like wrestling in tumbtacks.


    It's been a great struggle for me as well. Have had to listen to the tracks a billion times before any of them started to get to me. And even then, I'm not really blown away by anything.

    Perhaps I'll try watching the series. Normally I don't have to watch a film or show for the music to make sense, but perhaps Lost is an exception.


    Now playing: Until september (John Barry)

    Several themes and they're all wonderful. I wonder why this score is so rarely mentioned, even when people are listing their favourite Barry scores. I love every single second on this album.

    Another one people don't often mention is Frances. Both are among my very top favourites of his. More beautiful than his more famous ones.

    Baaria from Morricone. I'm preparing for a review. Been awhile since Ennio has come out with something new.
    listen to more classical music!

    I absolutely adore UNTIL SEPTEMBER, a beautiful score that gets far more plays from me than the celebrated Somewhere In Time, Frances is lovely too but not as varied as 'September'.

    Indeed, one of my favourite Barries.


    I'm currently playing You only live twice

    First time I'm playing the entire album. It's a great listen. I wouldn't quite call it the masterpiece people often say it is, but it's close.

    I rate it: ****½

    I'm sure you've probably stated your preference before Tim but I'm just wondering if you prefer the original or re-recorded version of this score? I think I know the answer.

    A toughie. Barry's original IS better but the re-recorded Silva release has extra material so it's that one I tend to play more.

    NP: Lost Season 2, Michael Giacchino

    My quest continue. I DARESAY, I've had another jaw-dropping moment. The track "Hurley's Handouts" has just won my heart. WOW! I don't know how "recurring" that theme is on the CD but that is a THEME!! So touching and intimate.

    And now I've just heard that "Amistad" theme in "Just Another Day on the Beach". The mesh of themes is actually forming up! After all this time!

    NP: Signs - James Newton Howard

    Excellent score. Great use of a good motif, especially at the end, with the massive development of the motif into a sort of grand thematic resolution. As an audience member, having it all built up to that moment, and hearing the music being that final touch, that really made the movie for me.
