    First instance starts at 0:38

    Here's the cue from Horner's replacement score, starting at 0:40, in this cue:

    The only Desplat score that I didn't care much for was Cheri. That's 1 out of 20+ scores I've heard from him...that's a pretty good record in my book.

    Ah, one of my favourite scores of 2009, right there. And I love THE QUEEN. So take that, ladies. beer

    Tedious? It's a bloody fantastic score! Any negative comments didn't come from my direction.

    Yeah, after further listening, this might be the best score Horner composed in the '80s (better than The Rocketeer and even Aliens), just on the strength of the final 3 tracks. "Bavmorda's Spell is Cast" is concert piece-caliber material.

    NP: The Film and TV Music of Christopher Gunning - Christopher Gunning
    Rumon Gamba and the BBC Philharmonic

    First listen... I'm only a few minutes into the first track - Agatha Christie's Poirot: Poirot Variants - but this sounds absolutely delightful. What a recording! Martin Robertson's sax sound brilliant and the BBC Philharmonic hasn't sounded better!

    shocked WOW! shocked

    We champion the likes of Tribute Film Classics and Tadlow - and rightfully so - but these Chandos recordings stand as some of the best I've ever heard with excellent production design on the art work and superb liner notes. These guys are most definitely in the same league with the best of the best!

  14. The Journey of Natty Gann - Horner

    Often sprightly, sometimes meandering, but always delightful, especially the End Titles piece.

    I concur. Willow is more of a classic than Star Trek II. Though I love both, if I want a flawless and nonstop riveting listen I go for Willow. This is one I wouldn't mind having a 2-CD set of btw.

    And Kevin if you haven't already, check out The Land Before Time, the perfect companion to Willow, a bit less on the action but more of the emotion. Bloody brilliant, and this comes from a major Horner fan.

  18. Thirteen Days - Trevor Jones

    It's not bad, but it's not love either. A little on the soft and slow side during most of the album, I prefer Dark City, Merlin, The Mighty and Cleopatra in all honesty which are all more interesting. And the always enchanting Last of the Mohicans of course. But the closing tracks are top-notch Jones at his most beautiful. It's very good as background music though.

    I love it!
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  20. I can see why you love it. wink

    And I just noticed this but Death of Major Anderson has a moment lifted from Titanic, about three minutes in. Haha, very peculiar. dizzy

    Uncommon Valor - James Horner

    Ever since hearing this on the good sounding bootleg, I've loved its militaristic sound and really exciting action cues. The action motif would later crop up in Aliens to great effect. So I guess I have to thank my love for Aliens and film music in general to this score... beer

    If in 1983 it still wasn't clear Horner would become a top composer after everything he had done up to that point then I would've eaten my goddamn hat. If I actually had one.

    Another great Intrada release. punk

    And I'm sure you're not wrong on the STII vs. Willow debate either.

    NP: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader - David Arnold

    Finished my second spin of this and I must say that I'm not impressed! There are a few grand, epic action cues and a lovely new main theme but all that unfortunately gets lost in a barrage of uninteresting atmospheric tracks. And I'm going to pull a Thor and James Southall here but the album is far long! A shorter presentation would help the stand alone listen but I'm glad I have what I have because it shows me how weak the majority of the score is.

    I had high hopes but I was let down.

    The action music isn't anything special either. The meaty final battle cue is pretty impressive but it seems like a paint by numbers score from Arnold. It didn't sound fresh.

    You like this score more than Harry Gregson-Williams's scores? Or is it at the same level?

    I felt that way about the Owl Fail score, but it grew on me eventually. I think we've all just listened to too much music...
