Sinbad (Gregson-Williams)
Listening to this again I'm reminded of why it's in my top10 of all-time favourite scores. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to choose between this one and How to train your dragon as my all-time favourite score to an animated movie. They both have simple, and extremely catchy themes, a sense of adventure, fun and emotion.

The Pacific - Hans and friends
As usual, listening to this makes me want to listen to Band of Brothers, so even though I'm only a few minutes into it, I think I will. -

Somehow I ended up not listening to that, but instead navigated my iPod to...
Straw Dogs - Jerry Fielding
Haven't listened to this one often. Can't remember listening to it at all, in fact. Brilliant music. -

I've read, in its own way, Larry Groupe's score to the new remake coming, is very good.The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -

Patch Adams - Marc Shaiman
Typical Shaiman drama with a bit of syrup on the side (a pleasant thing that)
Judge Dredd - Alan Silvestri
One of the best action hero themes ever written. Nicely arranged album too (I don't get why people want the complete version of this).
The Comfort of Strangers - Angelo Badalamenti
The theme reminds me of one of Nino Rota's themes for the Godfather movies than anything else. Not one of Badalamenti's best.
The Rocketeer - James Horner
The best of today's listening so far.Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

NP: Source Code (Expanded Score) - Chris Bacon
Wonderful score. It has a Largo Winch/Paycheck vibe but with less synths and much more orchestral. I love the love theme, especially in Frozen Moment. -

NP: THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS (John Williams)
The harmonica theme is great, the "suspense" music not so much. Or the hillbilly driving along-music. But it really deserves a proper release nonetheless, if nothing else because of its historical value, being the first Spielberg/Williams collaboration.I am extremely serious. -

NP: Mr. And Mrs. Smith (Complete Score) - John Powell
I've waited so long for the orchestral version of Mondo Bongo, I'm glad it was included. Same thing with the percussions in the house shooting scene.
By the way, I didn't know that Hans Zimmer wrote the Regency logo theme. -

THE GOLDEN CHILD - JOHN BARRY
Boy am I glad they keep releasing rejected scores of this calibre, much better than Colombier's effort but I can see how this could never have worked in an Eddie Murphy comedy. Still I imagine it being from a different film, I take it JB had a similar point of view. This is a purchase I'm more than happy with.
THE ROCKETEER - JAMES HORNER
I remember giving this album 4 stars many years ago, however now I have to say this is 5 easily, because it's pure orchestral Horner fun from beginning to end, which we simply don't hear anymore, featuring some of his greatest themes ("Jenny" is bloody beautiful). Even the two Cole Porter songs are great.
So in the end I have to say, bro, you should really add one more star in your review.

NP: Deathly Hallows Part 1 (Complete Demos) - Desplat
This demos shows how much of Desplat's original music was cut or butchered in the film and CD release. Wedding Attack, Travelling Montage, Exodus (with the Obliviate theme), the big renditions of Voldemort and Hedwig's themes in the original version of Captured And Tortured. The bit in the cue Dobby which it was for the Malfoy Manor scene (which it was re-scored) and the piano version of My Love Is Always Here. The ideas of the score are much more developed here. -

This and Wojciech Kilar's September Symphony will be my way of commemorating the 9/11 victims.
I find Powell's score deeply underrated, it is not an easy listen, but he did the closest thing to masterpiece given the style and themes of this wonderful film.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

NP: SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE (John Williams)
The original, black-cover Warner CD, which is all I ever need. Tried the Rhino 2CD once, but didn't suit my fancy, not even with the helicopter rescue "setpiece" track.I am extremely serious. -

The biggest issue with the Warner CD is that there are two tracks missing that were on the the double LP release. It made absolutely no sense whatsoever since the complete LP presentation would have fit onto one CD.

Well, it sound worst than your typical Midi synth but it's audible. I'm hoping that the complete score can be leaked to hear how better sounds, especially the version of Hedwig and Voldemort's themes in Harry To Malfoy Manor. -
