    I don't think he ever really wanted to write scores like Meet Joe Black, though he's never said it (it's only a perception). He probably now has enough money that he doesn't need to. I do agree that it's a great pity - he's arguably the finest American orchestral film composer behind Williams, but he never does that any more.

    But james , he wrote so many of those gorgeously orchestrated and composed lush american scores and he did it with such class and quality it is really hard for me to believe that while he boldly left his mark in film music and in a very influential way , he did all that just for the money. Whatever the case though , i honestly believe his is the biggest loss for film music for the last decade.

    He's still come up with some gems in that time, though, like Wall-E. I do hope he manages to find another Angels in America some day - that one allowed him to combine the orchestral majesty with his more personal, quirky style and is pretty sensational.

    Indeed, WALL-E was his last one so far.

    The new Sunset Blvd. release from SAE which is OST.

    I much prefer this new release of the original soundtrack over the re-recordings. There's something quite vibrant to the original that makes for a much more interesting listen.

    As for the additional CD containing the 2-3 minutes? I don't think I've ever listen to this.

  6. Daft Punk - Tron: Legacy

    Brilliant score. While similarities to Inception are there, the minimalism reminds me rather of Glass rather than Zimmer and one track is quite similar to Poledouris' Cherry 2000. Very well written minimalistic work, great electronics, what's not to like? Even if sometimes pretty Zimmerish in chord progressions, I wouldn't say that it overly references Hans (the similarities to Inception can be partly because they mixed it in his studio and the score was written around the same time). By no means anything rip-off or something. A very classy work, makes me want to see the film.

    I watched the movie yesterday. The score was PERFECT in the movie. By the way, Daft Punk has a little cameo.

    NP: Selections from composer Christopher Gordon

    I don't have a lot of time to spend listening to music today but I was inspired by a fellow film music fan's Facebook post yesterday to play some music from one of my favorite current film composers. I just finished with the fantastic Ward 13 and have moved on to the finale from one of the best scores from last year, Mao's Last Dancer. I've also got cued up tracks from Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games, Rugby World Cup (featuring one of the finest themes I've ever heard), the under appreciated On The Beach, my nine minute custom suite from Moby Dick and "Spreading The Cure" from Daybreakers.

    Bliss!

  16. DARK CITY (EXPANDED SCORE) - TREVOR JONES

    Dark, brooding, full of unsettling underscore, the usual but great action music and one of the biggest emotional climaxes I've ever heard. Dark City really is my kind of score. Jones did good on this one. And the film is a modern SF-classic in my book.

  17. ^^^ Check out the Edited Suites thread, and click on suite 3 of "Hideaway"; I don't have headphones on me, but as I recall, that one had some similar action material later in it (I made five suites, so it may not be that one after all).

  18. I just checked it out, and Hideaway just isn't in the same league, but I see your point in both having similar action music, though Dark City's is much more vibrant and powerful. I'll stick to that, thank you very much. smile

  19. Oh, I wasn't saying they were. Just another one of Jones' lifts, but he usually does a good job applying it elswhere. It's his "four-note danger motif".

    Fly Away Home - Mark Isham

    Ravishing melodies, soaring arrangements, this is nothing short of outstanding. One of my very favourite scores.

    Entertaining, that's the word. The use of 3D is really good (at last!), and the score is PERFECT in the movie.

    The Next Three Days - Danny Elfman

    After a rather dull opening 30-40 minutes, the score springs into life for its final 20-30. Another badly-produced album, sadly, which could have been much, much stronger with less music on it.
