    I really enjoy most of the Hook score, I do find it difficult to listen all the way through though, an expanded edition wouldn't entice me.


    Nor me, but I think there's room for a "deluxe" edition combining the best parts of the album that was released with the best parts of the score that wasn't.


    I've never been able to make it through the film to know how many good pieces were left off the release.


    I've watched (and heard) the film lots of times and I can tell you, there are many brilliant cues not present on the official release.

  2. STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN - JAMES HORNER

    Legendary Horner score and one that should be in every collection.

    But I still don't adore it as much as the sequel, coming up next. smile

    Listening doesn't get much better than those two scores!

  4. STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK - JAMES HORNER

    I here you Tim! cheesy

    It's my intention from now on to listen to these two back to back whenever I feel the urge. The one can't exist without the other... Trek II and III are two of James' finest scores, and I basically see them as one great Horner work. What's more, they sound just as fresh and amazing today as they did nearly 30 years ago! punk

    I agree, I've always seen both scores as one big work.

    MARK MCKENZIE - el gran milagro

    Easily the most outstanding piece of film music work i've heard this year. It's truly sublime, and at parts magnificent. McKenzie is a brilliantly gifted artist, one who writes from the heart.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Well, I don't think it's either sublime or magnificent (especially when you offset it against such TRULY magnificent solemn scores like The Greatest Story Ever Told or King Of Kings), but I'll say this: it's one of the finest scores of the last 12 months, with a very strong melodic and reverent style, chocablock with that "religious sound" Thor likes so much (and at around 42 minutes, it's of perfect length as well).

    Extremely enjoyable, very fine stand-alone listen, and one of the big surprises this year!

    NP: BOMBAY (A. R. Rahman)

    Rahman at his best - involving songs, beautiful score and NO damn vocoder!


    Absolutely. Bombay Theme is one of his most emotionally gripping pieces ever, pure musical magic over there.

    Yep, the McKenzie one. And yes, Thor, I certainly do recommend it to you. I wager it's right up your alley!

    NP: L'Incorrigible - Georges Delerue
    A very spry, mischievous little score, and a Delerue I am in fact since quite some time fully enjoying again! It's full of life, yet incorporates that bittersweet sound Delerue really seems to have patented (or at least has pretty much honed to perfection to the level of being the standard against which all others are measured).
    Of course it has a beautiful theme again, and the interesting bonus of sporting a track where Delerue himself plays the piano (a little melancholic piece called Thème D'Amour. How fitting! smile )

    The album is coupled on CD with another Delerue score Va Voir Maman, Papa Travaille.
    The theme is very likable, but the rest of the score really doesn't do much for me: it's rather poppy and fluffy and -as said, aside from the theme which returns in some variations, including a pop/disco-ish variant- not really very interesting.

  11. NP: Aisling Song - The Secret of Kells (Bruno Coulais and Christen Mooney's voice)

    It must be the most beautiful singing voice I've ever heard in a soundtrack.

    Great score with more of that 'Talented Mr Ripley' sound I really love.

    I love Sakamoto's scores, I wish he'd do more.

  15. He's still a pretty busy composer, but not so much in Western projects. I think Miya could make a point here. Most of my exposure to him is thanks to her.

    Rich and Famous - Georges Delerue

    Exquisitely beautiful... but the more CDs I buy of things previously only available as a theme or suite on The London Sessions, the more I think in future I should stick to the theme or suite on The London Sessions.

    NP: MIAMI VICE (Tim Truman)

    It's an outrage that Truman's music for the fifth season is unreleased. Some fantastic music that rivals that of Hammer, IMO. Check out this, for example:

    Simultaneously pretty and creepy in a haunting way. Very exotic.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    'Memories of me' was what got me cottoning on to this... wink
    The French stuff is a bit different though -- but then there isn't a great deal of that on The London Sessions.

  22. NP: Les Massacres - Oceans (Bruno Coulais)

    Most of his asian scores are plain awkward. I wish he returns to the grandeur of Little Buddah, Snake Eyes, Sheltering sky, sometime soon.

    Hm, fun and noisy, playful with some orchestra, guitar, bass drums, americana. Not a score i'll return to very often but i am curious to see how it works in the film.

    Wonderful score, but how much good material was left off the CD (in minutes)?

  29. There are two major unreleased sequences: The fire when his friend gets burned in the face and taken to the hospital (William Baldwin's that is) and the fire truck accident near the final setpiece.
