Yes!
I think The Matrix scores are just sensational. I'm pretty sure I did put them (collectively) near the top of my top ten when I did my favourite scores of the 2000s piece a year or so ago.
I somehow lost my The Matrix expanded (from Varese). I don't know who I lend it to or where I put it. Can someone please clarify this for me?Kazoo -

Bad Boys - Mark Mancina
Not the greatest release (due to its C & C treatment), but an enjoyable effort. I prefer Speed 2 to this with more substance to the score and no short pointless cues.Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

You didn't lend it to me, so I can be crossed off the list. -

NP: The Golden Compass (Desplat)
Although you can hear a bit of the disjointed story underneath the music, it is nonetheless a grand musical story. I will just edge out on that limb and call it -- next to Prisoner of Azkaban and Return of the King -- the fantasy score of the 00s.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Yeah, it's a cool score. Not my favorite from Desplat though...I think period dramas are more his strength. -

A total suprise this unconventional Williams score. Especially of his use of synths. -

NP : MISSION TO MARS - Ennio Morricone
Brilliant!
One of those acquired tastes, but it tastes very good to me... A strange score sometimes for a sci-fi thriller in space, but one I've gotten to appreciate over the years."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK - JOHN WILLIAMS
Without a doubt these will be my 2 hours best spent today, and most likely of the whole upcoming week.
Film music of this kind is pretty much non-existent these days."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

Brilliant Americana, one of his loveliest themes. Half an hour of bliss for me. -

Come Un Delfino - Ennio Morricone
It's like seeing an old friend again, hearing new Morricone music. Much of it ravishing and romantic. Not a masterpiece, but very solid and entertaining, barring a couple of bits of interminable suspense music (but if they weren't there, I'd think something was seriously wrong). -

I know. The final cue is amazing though the main theme is very overused. -

Sleepers - John Williams
When I first heard this, I was young and therefore stupid, and couldn't believe I had bought a CD by John Williams and it didn't sound like ET or Indiana Jones. Now I think it's one of his finest albums. -

NP: Signs - James Newton Howard
First listen. Not sure what the general consensus is on this one (I know Erik loves it) but aside from the cool main titles this is a complete bore. Each cue seems to be constructed around slow string chords and woodwinds playing the same three notes over and over again. -
