    NP: Arabian Nights ~ Richard Harvey

    I'm in a middle - eastern mood these days and this one is wonderful! Very well written, full of original ideas! Harvey is such an excellent musician and an exceptional composer very underrated in my opinion!

    As Good as it Gets - Hans Zimmer

    Lovely score. Very nice tunes.


    I happen to prefer Spanglish, which I think has Hans's all-time best orchestrations, but As Good As It Gets is beautiful, yes.

    The "suspense" music in this (and AGNES OF GOD) grates a bit, but the rest is bliss!

    Join the club, Timmer!

    NP: SCHINDLER'S LIST (John Williams)

    Can't say much that hasn't already been said. I prefer "Remembrances" over the far more famous main theme, though.
    I am extremely serious.
  8. Much Ado About Nothing - Patrick Doyle

    I much prefer Doyle's scores of the 1990s comparatively to the 2000s (although there is quality there, particularly Goblet of Fire).

    So do I. It's much more cathartic.

    NP: THE SCREAMING WOMAN (John Williams)

    An unreleased, wildly atonal score by Williams, almost in IMAGES-territory for this 1972 tv movie. But damn, I could be without Olivia de Havilland's screaming in the first track (this obviously comes from an audio rip).
    I am extremely serious.
  14. La Fille du Puisatier - Alexandre Desplat

    I'm starting to think that Desplat's French scores are better than his American ones...

    Then that would be false advertising if there wasn't.

    True.

    NP: THE SECRET WAYS (John Williams)

    Love the opening fugue, in particular, with the "Duel of the Fates"-like ostinato. Some pretty good writing for cembalom too. Nice 5-note danger motif. But also lots of melodramatic sturm-und-drang. This could be Williams' first "serious" score and deserves a proper release.
    I am extremely serious.
  17. NP: Voyageurs du ciel et de la mer - Bruno Coulais

    A very small, but gentile score. There's the typical Coulais writing, but almost no synths and sound effects, it's fully orchestral. There's some theme in here, performed by the children chorus and orchestra in La Complainte Du Vent (Choeur) and in clarinet in La Complainte Du Vent (Instrumental).

    NP: SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET (John Williams)

    The main theme is fabulous and there's some really sweeping themes to take home too. Plus all the "exotic" effects conjuring up the folks and cultures of Tibet -- Hollywood-style, of course.

    Really like this entry from Williams.
    I often thought the opening track (especially the last half) could have been an alternate cue for Star Wars Episode 3 with the opening 3 notes of the "Imperial March" that eventually morphs into the "Across The Stars" love theme musically expounding Anakin's struggle and fall mixed with the threat of destroying his life with Padme.
    Well, that's my sad and geeky head space anyway!
    I guess the actual music was written about some American President.
  20. Ride with the Devil - Mychael Danna

    Strong entry into the western genre by Danna.

    Darn, and there I thought it was about TV magician David Nixon slant

    Yeah, between this, Lust Caution, L'Ennemi Intime, and Inquietudes, I'm starting to like Desplat's non-American scores more than his American ones.

    Letting rip an old favourite: Last of the Mohicans- Trevor Jones.

    'Fort Battle' still sends a shiver down the spine. One of the great cues.

    They seem to have plenty on sale at Amazon and at cheap prices too.

    NP: SLEEPERS (John Williams)

    Underrated film, underrated score. There's a brief cameo of the religious sound (in "Saying the Rosary", I believe) and the melancholic darkness he does so well. Some cool bass riffs and synth use too. Williams hasn't done a lot of contemporary urban films.
    I am extremely serious.

    Definitely, his La fille du puisatier on the other hand (compared to 'a better life' which is good but not good enough) is a small masterpiece. Best score i've heard this year so far.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  30. This gives an insight at how I sometimes end up going off on a tangent from one piece of music to another...

    Martijn posted a link on Facebook to the title sequence from Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. Martijn, you pointed out (very accurately too) about how good Handel's Sarabande is used in this sequence. So, I took a listen to this piece (and I had already heard the track from The Chieftains that featured on the "Film Cuts" CD). So far, so good.

    When I was listening through the various pieces of music Kubrick used I noticed a couple of titles - "Women of Ireland" and "Tin Whistles" - being referenced to someone called Sean O'Riada. Digging a bit deeper, O'Riada (whose name is actually Seán Ó Riada) had scored a couple of documentaries in the late '50s/early 60s: Mise Éire, that tells of events in Ireland leading up to, during, and immediately after the 1916 Easter Rising and Saoirse?, a documentary covering the period 1919-1922 in Ireland's history, covering the war of independence against the British and the civil war that followed. Both films feature archive footage from that period.

    Amazon at the moment are having an offer for mp3 that if you by a couple of of albums over a certain price you get them both for a tenner. So...

    NP: Saoirse? - Seán Ó Riada

    Quite a mixed bag in terms of style of music used. It's not anything like the stock "Oirish" music but more stark drama, militaristic snare drum marches, some lovely lush string writing (here we do have something that hints at that Oirish music), harpichord and harmonica!

    Thanks, Martijn! smile
