    Rudy - Goldsmith

    I'm on a Goldsmith kick, so I'm turning to this one. I've listened to it before, but wow -- I'm blown away. The "Tryouts" theme is spectacular, and I can see why a lot of trailers in the mid 1990s-early 2000s used it. Makes me wish it was used now instead of those subpar RC-lite compositions.

    It's a pity noone knows the details of what went on behind the scenes on the scoring of The Rock.

    NP: The Social Network

    Jeezus, this gets an Oscar nomination? Filmmusic has truly sunk to atrocious levels if this ever gets the Oscar. Which it will!


    Bollocks. Who gets an Oscar isn't necessarily indicative of the general quality of film music. I personally think today's film music is all fine and healthy no matter who some film people decide to award.

    Peter smile


    I totally disagree, filmmusic back in the early years stood for something. Composers dared to express themselves and make their own score. Directors understood the talent of these composers and said they would accept it no matter what, because they believed and accepted their talent. Today composers have to write for the benefit of the movie, leaving their own voice behind and create tempscores because the director or produces loves a particular sound so much. Today music is rarely impressive anymore and wall to wall scoring has become a common thing. The Social Network is background music for a film, and not even worthy to be called music on CD!

    It just amazes me how people call a film crap, yet they absolutely love the music. Don't you just like the movie a little then? I could never separate the music from the film. That's why 90 % of the films that I love have great scores. It's such an integral part of a movie that I could never hate any of those films, even though I know in my heart they aren't masterpieces. If a score is fun, the movie's fun. If a score moves me, the film moves me. Only my opinion of course.


    Whenever I read posts like this I always think "this guy isn't a film music fan, he's a film fan". Not meaning to judge, it just sounds like you're saying that the music can't be good on its own.

    Peter smile


    this is where good music comes in, back in the day good music was written. Back then the music sounded superbly in the film, and outside its context. Trust me, the reason why my brother says this is because he has felt the degeneration of fimmusic, just like I have. The occasional examples and great composers remain an exception, but the majority provides music that is perfect for the film, and a lot less on CD.

    I enjoy music in and outside the context, and my brother enjoys it too, but he knows that stellar filmmusic is a thing of the past (with the occasional exceptions of course of today)

    It is closer to Nick's type and style of scoring, from all those you mention.


    It is. I've heard that while Nick never wanted to be an a-list composer, this experience traumatized him, the biggest scare he had when it comes to the process.

  14. Shuffling the iPod seems to be throwing up a lot of long tracks from the likes of Nosferatu, Carrington, Jurassic Park and The Perfect Storm.

    I feel like I should play some Herrmann to balance things out!

    I might be stepping out some people's toes but I think that the opening concert suite is all that you need from this album.

    I don't think it'll take too much of a nudge for you to play some Herrmann wink

    There is some surprisingly dramatic and accomplished scoring in this.

    I've just returned from a party and I needed something to relax me, something to be swept away. And then I remembered that there was a film on with one of the most magnificent scores I've ever heard... heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time...So,

    NP: The English Patient ~ Gabriel Yared

    How could I ever forget about this? It's been years since I listened to it.

    I'm still new to this one. It has some nice sounding themes I look forward to getting to know better. Not to wowed by the rest, though.

    I love this score, IMO Yared is one of a very few excellent composers still working in film today.

  26. A Very Long Engagement - Angelo Badalamenti

    Very melancholy and melodic. I think my enjoyment of this depends greatly on what mood I'm in. Tonight, it's pretty good, though it gets a little samey by the end.
