    NP: GREEN CARD (Hans Zimmer)

    Gorgeous score; Zimmer at his best - ethnic stylings, melancholy, soft power anthems.

  3. I'm walking down memory lane at the moment listening to Geoff Love and his orchestra's "Big Terror Movie Themes", featuring the likes of Jaws, Psycho, Earthquake and Death Wish. This album was a great favourite of mine when it came out in the mid-70s.

    This album is twinned with "Themes For Super Heroes", an album I haven't heard before. It is more TV oriented and features arrangements of titles such as The Bionic Woman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman (great to now have an instrumental version of this), Return of The Saint and The Six Million Dollar Man.

    A childhood being relived!

  8. The Last Airbender - James Newton Howard

    This score has been growing on me lately. Newton Howard really knows how to write percussion.

    NP: LA FETE SAUVAGE (Vangelis)

    Some weird sonorities in this ol' wildlife documentary score. Some exotic percussion and stuff, but really out there. Mostly acoustic, not too many synths.

    Thanks. smile

    It's a good score, and especially the first track is a real gem. I pretty much agree with James' review that the first 4 tracks are the best. Unoriginal score, but considering his age I can appreciate that he isn't that innovative anymore, and I do love the sound that his music has. He's more like Horner these days in that he often falls back to his older tricks. As someone who likes those tricks I love it of course. The suspense music is surprisingly listenable, though a bit repetitive here and there.

    My rating is pretty much like James' ***½. Though it might turn into a **** with more listens.

    Listening to it 12 hours after your listen.

    It's indeed a very good score but I could've gone with more themes and less ambience.

    Well, it's a decent listen, nothing offensive about it but at the same time it doesn't leave me with the 'I must play this again' feeling, it's very uninspired.

  14. Yeah okay, it's not something even I'll listen to again and again... but it's cool enough for once in a while.

    it does leave an enormous impression in the movie, which by the way held a few amazing cues of the album.

    Battle: Los Angeles - Brian Tyler

    If they gave awards based on how loud things are, this one would sweep the board!


    One of the worst scores of the year.

    Thanks for the tip guys. I really need good suggestions of scores that are a must from the last 6 months.

    NP la Ligne Droite Patrick Doyle

    Typical Doyle dramatic stuff with a lot of energetic piano crescendos. I like his style but a bit repetitive. Editing needed here.

    I'm pretty much in agreement with this view.

    NP: Lonesome Dove (Poledouris)

    'Farewell Ladies' is one of my favourite cues of all time, or the first 4 minutes at least. Sublime melodrama scoring.

    Excellent score of course. I really like the suites presented in the compilation album.
  21. NP: Lost Horizon - Dimitri Tiomkin

    My first listen to this score, and it's the recent re-release of the Charles Gerhardt recording. For convenience, I've split up the long suite into the 6 separate tracks.

    A bargain purchase at 89p for the 23-minute suite!

    The Deep End of the Ocean - Elmer Bernstein

    It's a nice nostalgic score that recalls material that Elmer wrote much earlier in his career. While this gets compared to something like Far From Heaven, I prefer this to Far From Heaven, because of its commitment to the main theme (which is lovely).

    I don't prefer it to Far From Heaven, but I agree about the lovely theme (in fact, isn't it very similar to Far From Heaven's?) - a score that deserves to be heard by more people than I think it has been.

    ETERNAL ECHOES - JOHN BARRY

    First listen. Seekers of action should steer clear. This is the man in his sweeping romantic mode. Sometimes such a soothing listen is what I need the most before going to work. I still prefer the lushness of 'The Beyondness of Things' but this is good too, just no surprises whatsoever musically.

    Apt Pupil - John Ottman

    Lovely dramatic score with definite Ottman tendencies. It's like a darker/more menacing/horror-ish 'The Usual Suspects' with a memorable main theme. The album is not too long either at a well rounded 45 minutes.
    Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream.
  28. NP: A Man in Love (Georges Delerue)

    Delerue at his finest. One of my favourite scores, and almost certainly my favourite Delerue score to play as an album. 'Death of Pavese' is amazing - he touches something very real there for me.

    People talk about Portman and Desplat each taking up aspects of Delerue. I think Portman gets the nice melodies (though never quite THAT nice), and Desplat touches the earlier Delerue, but neither of them have really hit the nerve that this score touches.

    WP: Batman - Danny Elfman

    The main theme was stuck in my head since the morning, so I had no option but to oblige. Full of dramatic orchestral glory and thrilling suspense. cool
