  1. Same here, the movie will be something special indeed. I vividly remember last year's special event and that blew my mind also. And it still does!

    One of Isham's finest scores. Please tell us what you think...


    I think I'll agree with you about that. I've only played through The Black Dahlia once, so I'm going to reserve judgment, but my first impression is a little mixed. I don't like it as much as some of Isham's heroic and happy scores (Racing Stripes, for example), but this is a far more "grown up" score than those are. His trumpet playing is fantastic. I enjoyed the tracks "The Two of Us", "Madeline", "Dwight and Kay", "Red Arrow Inn", "No Other Way", and "Nothing Stays Buried Forever" the most. I'm looking forward to a few more plays of this soon. I'm going through all the 15 CDs I just got from BP so It might be a few days before I get back to it.

    Right now I'm listening to Angelo Badalamenti's A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT for the first time. It's very melodic and pretty so far. I think this score could end up being one of my favorites of the 15.

    "The Place Where Dreams Come True" trumps EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

    -Erik-


    That is an amazing finale. Horner's finest, imo. I would put a lot of T. Newman's finale tracks on the same level as that ("That Next Place," "Cinderella Man," "The Great Work Begins," and the last tracks from Shawshank, "So Was Red" and "End Titles"). I don't know that I would say that any of those tracks are BETTER than Horner's cue, but they just as good as far as I'm concerned.
  4. ^ I'd also add Little Children, Lemony Snicket, and Red Corner to that last. Newman is a master of end credits suites.

    NP: The Ghost Writer - Alexandre Desplat

    One of the most bizarre yet totally unique and thoroughly enjoyable dramatic scores written this year!

    -Erik-


    I love the fluttering flutes playing the main theme in The Ghost Writer, In The Woods and The Truth About Ruth. Lang's Memoirs it's a gorgeous track.

    Nah, he just reprises themes most of the time. Newman actually writes new music just for the credits -- the aforementioned Little Children is a good example of that.

    Amalia - Nuno Malo

    Spectacularly good! Lush, romantic, thematic. Reminds me of latter-day Morricone.

    Now playing:

    Tron Legacy - Daft Punk

    Love this too. If someone had told me at the start of the year that two of my favourite 2010 scores would be by Hans Zimmer and Daft Punk, I'd have suggested they should be on some kind of medication.


    Both excellent scores. I am glad you're acknowledging Zimmer's and Punk's scores this year 'cause they really worked spectacularly good on these projects.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Yes, Williams for the most part reprises themes but in cleaver and creative ways that makes his end credit suites stand out above the rest. He also had created stand alone pieces that aren`t heard anywhere else in the film. There is no beating the end credits from The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, Spacecamp, The Patriot, Saving Private Ryan, etc. Thats only a small sampling of the brilliant end credit work Williams has done that trumps everyone else.

    Inspired by all this End Titles talk I just created a playlist featuring 82 John Williams end credits pieces for a total playing time of 6 hours and 27 minutes. Bliss! And yes, there is even stuff like Penelope, A Guide For A Married Man, and John Goldfarb, Please Come Home included.

  12. Erik (sorry to keep on about your music and how it's stored - I always pepper you with questions every now and again), how did you go about selecting these tracks?

    Do you have all your music immediately to hand on your general PC/Mac or do you have to go to a dedicated storage media and retrieve then that way?

    I've recently ordered an iPod Classic for my Christmas and whilst I'm waiting for it to arrive (the iPod and Christmas) I'm thinking how best to organise my music.

    Alan - I have all of my music on a 1TB drive which is backed up using Mac's Time Machine to a 2TB back-up drive. All of my music has been imported into iTunes. As for selecting the tracks for the Williams End Credit playlist I created a new playlist in iTunes (named it John Williams End Credits) selected "Williams, John" in my artist column and went through each Williams score one by one, selected the end credit piece and dragged it to my John Williams End Credit playlist.

  14. Thanks Erik.

    Do you have your 1TB drive as part of your computer and is the computer the "general use" computer or is it one that's main function is as for music storage?

    What would you say your predominant digital file format is for these music files?

    At the moment I have my favourites tracks on my laptop (10000+ tracks, 61GB) and from this I compose additional, themed favourite lists. This PC is my working PC and has 500GB capacity. It is backed up to a 1TB external drive that I keep stored between backups. All these tracks will go on my new iPod.

    We also have a desktop PC (which doesn't get used so much) that has a 1TB drive (I'm not sure whether it's partitioned or just has a specific drive structure: it may be partitioned as the "computer" is on the c: and "data" on the d: ). At the moment there's no music on this but I could use this as the general, easy access PC for all the music. I'm getting a bit frustrated that I can't access whole CDs without either searching through boxes for the CD (I have no filing system at the moment) or have to get out the backup drive to access the files.

    Being able to get easy access is the thing I want to be able to do most. Having the big iPod gives me portable access to my favourite tracks and maybe putting all my stored CDs onto the 1TB desktop would give me relatively easy access to the rest.

    Someone please produce a 1TB portable mp3 player!!

    I'm using a Mac so I have an internal hard drive which prtty much runs my OS and my applications. Anything else is stored on my 1TB USB external drive. the 2TB back-up drive is also an external USB drive.

    In the beginning I encoded all of my music at 192k MP3. Nowadays it's 320k AAC or MP3.

    IMHO, you should have all of your music in one place but not on your laptops hard drive. If your laptops goes so does your music (even though you've backed it up) but it's easier to have the music on an external drive, safe, away from any problems that your PC may encounter down the road.

  16. Thanks Erik.

    At the moment I have about 280 albums on my laptop as well as the 60GB of additional favourite tracks. Both of these sets are backed up to my 1TB external drive.

    On this external hard drive I also have the remainder of my soundtrack albums. I have an additional backup of these remaining albums on a 500GB drive that used to be in my old PC - I just need to get some sort of cassette cover that I can put this internal drive into so that it becomes an external drive.

    Bottom line is that I have at least 2 digital copies of everything somewhere. And then there's the additional backup of the bought CDs over the years.

    The last four cues are wonderful. I love the Herrmann influences in New York and Door Jam.

    NP: Twister - Mark Mancina

    I hope someday this score has a re-release. With much more volume with the chorus and Mancina's orchestral take on Van Halen's "Humans Being". The themes are wonderful, specially the low string glissando motif for the tornadoes. Drive In, God's Finger and End Titles/Respect The Wind are the highlights of the score.

    Like I said in my review, some of the atmospheric cues aren't that spectacular but they do divide up the big, meaty, epic orchestral cues nicely. As for a listening experience, yes, the album could have been cut down but overall the score is spectacular!

    Sorry to shout there, but that's my favorite Williams end title piece, and may be my all time favorite thing he's ever written. I LOVE the piano at the beginning. That's such a different and brilliant way to present that theme.
  28. NP: Harvey Two-Face/Blood On My Hands - The Dark Knight

    I liked what Zimmer did for Batman, but I think that James Newton Howard deserved much more than just a couple of cues (I know that in the 2 CD edition there's much more JNH music). Still, it's amazing. I love the Harvey Dent theme, especially how Zimmer twisted in Watch The World Burn. But I wonder how the score could have been if only JNH scored Batman.
