    Slipstream is an incredible score and kudos goes to Robin Esterhammer of Perseverance Records for rescuing this gems that most thought would never see the light of day. IMHO, this is the soundtrack release of the year!

    I don't like that they combine the suite into one long track. While the sound quality is much improved the presentation on the Dolby editions is far superior! But with the advances in digital technology wink I was able to separate the suite into 6 individual tracks to match the Dolby release.

    I like that they tried to make a symphonic suite of it. While I certainly can't put it in the same class as a tone poem it was very acceptable to me.

    Agents of Secret Stuff by George Shaw. This is a new release for him. I should comment that the first twenty tracks are from the film of the same name. The remaining tracks are bonus.

    Well, just so you know: based on your first thoughts I added Slipstream to my cart over at SAE.

    Well, the contents are identical so the way it plays is EXACTLY the same as before however when this is all mashed into one track I can't just extract my favorite part, cue, track and listen to it on it's own like I can on the Dolby release. That's the issue. But like I said I corrected the problem myself but I think it was a misake to make the suite one gigantic track.

    Staccato - Elmer Bernstein

    Excellent, excellent, excellent!
    Thoroughly visceral jazz in a very Man With The Golden Arm like style (though with even more of a bite than that already pretty edgy score). Powerful work in the Bernstein vein I probably like best: uncompromising cool jazz. Fantastic work!

    Hehe, this one beats it. I love the brass in particular. This cue is so catchy and so much fun it's the perfect example of why I love film music.

    NP: Slipstream - Elmer Bernstein

    shocked

    I'm loving this! Almost halfway through this CD and there's so much to enjoy on this one. Rousing and soaring action music, more reflective and emotional passages, some interesting orchestration...and I like how the Ondes Martenot has been incorporated into the score. Not too intrusive, appearing sometimes as the solo instrument and sometimes doubled up with the likes of strings, soprano voice, etc.

    I'd heartily recommend this to everyone.

    BTW, Bernstein's Slipstream delivered a great score right up to the final (and excellent) final 12-minute track.


    That's great to know! Looking forward to when I'll put the disc in my player. cool

    NP: Balada Triste de Trompeta - Roque Baños

    I'm listening to some of this score at the moment and I'm struck again by how well Baños can tap into the whole Bernard Herrmann feel. "Blue Beard" is a track that has some subtle references to the quieter passages of the likes of Vertigo.


    Absolutely. Have you heard his other 2010 scores?
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    No I haven't. Is there anything more recent that this one?

  5. The Specialist - John Barry

    An overlong album but still a pleasant look at Barry's sleazy jazz writing combined with his standard dramatic approach in the 1990s.

    Not exactly Hank at his best. Several entertaining parts but it's pretty disposable.

    Yeah, it could do with a bit of shortening. Lovely silky and, as you say, "sleazy" jazz writing but also some wonderful moody cues too, I particularly love the oh so subtle use of choir in 'Ray Meets May At Her Funeral'.

    Juno Reactor is one of my favourite bands, and I thought their work with Don Davis in the MATRIX films was just inspired.

    Very cool. I love how Desplat uses Nerio's theme in this one.

    For me it's the most allround enjoyable Matrix score, albeit in its 40 minute presentation. punk

  10. The Natural - Randy Newman

    Listening to this score reminds me me of how much more I like A League of Their Own. But The Natural isn't bad by any means, with the big recognizable theme and such.
