    NP: THE TIME TUNNEL (John Williams)

    His Irwin Allen TV scores are really something to prepare for -- lots of melodramatic sturm-und-drang and definitely not everyone's cup of tea. But this is slightly more accesible than LOST IN SPACE. I actually remember seeing the Titanic episode when I was a kid....not from its premiere, obviously, but in reruns on Sky Channell and Super Channell in the mid 80's. Little did I know then that a few years later, the composer of that music would be an "obsession" of mine...

    Horner's best since MASK OF ZORRO, IMO, at least of those I've heard.

  4. I am a huge fan of some of his later albums, including the underrated Enemy at the Gates.

    Jerry Goldsmith - Under Fire

    Probably my favorite Goldsmith album, some of the very best music he's written in his career. Perfect themes, great guitar playing by Metheny, vintage Goldsmith action with a guitar twist in Bajo Fuego, what else can you want? And all exceptionally melodic.

    From what I remember, quite a lot, some of it very different to the album tracks.

    I'd recommend seeing the film Pawel, it's a very good film.

    NP : 'BOOM!' - John Barry



    Love this score, very dark with interesting orchestral textures/colours from a time when John Barry did all his own orchestrating.

    UNDER FIRE seconded. Great score and album, one of my JG favourites. Have zero interest in the original tracks, but I'd like to check out the film again some day. I remember it being fairly good.

    NP: TOM SAWYER (Robert & Richard Sherman/John Williams)

    Very busy, bumbling and rambunctious orchestral arrangements (and score bits) by Williams, while the songs are quite uneven in quality. More rural Americana...

    NP : FOLLOW ME! ( aka THE PUBLIC EYE ) - John Barry



    Light hearted pop score for 1972 film starring Mia Farrow and Topol, kind of like Barry's score for The Knack but without the jazz swing of that score, as per usual with Barry, it's a very melodic score and quite a delightful way to pass 30 minutes when I'm in the mood for this kind of Barry sound.

    Just finished with Intrada's Explorers. Yeah.... ummm... I'll stick with the original release or at least the original playlist using Intrada's remastered tracks. I'm just so used to hearing "The Construction" right off the bat that hearing the same cue a good 25 minutes into Intrada's album seems... wrong. There's lots of fuller as well which didn't do much for me, however, the cameo of Goldsmith's Alien in "Looks Real" is simply wonderful!

    Moving onto... and I have no idea why I have a craving to hear this... but I'm currently spinning Giacchino's Mission: Impossible 3. While I don't think it's on the same level as Elfman's score for the first film I do think it's a fine action score and I do like the fact that Giacchino tried to incorporate a tune, melody or motif in his action material a la Williams of the 70's and 80's. There always a hook in the action music highlighted by the dazzling "Hunting For Jules" which is one of the finest cues of Giacchino's career!

    I've snipped out a few tracks for my listening pleasure! And no I'm not qualified to do that. wink I've trimmed this down to 14 tracks = 47 minutes.

    NP: Crimson Tide - Complete Score - Hans Zimmer

    Love it. Pitch perfect scoring. Very melodic in its use of motifs and deconstructed thematic materials.

    NP: Drive - Cliff Martinez and others

    Not bad. The electronic scoring of this kind makes me feel nostalgic for the 80s, being a child and growing up in that era. I haven't seen the movie yet, but, knowing the work of the director and his vision, it should work like gangbuster. The songs works well with Cliff's score though I feel that integrating it into the score would have been a much better move. Favorite song is "A Real Hero".


    I got this recently, and absolutely adore it! It's EXACTLY this kind of ambient textures with the occasional groove that I'm looking for these days. The indiepop/electronica songs in the beginning are so-so, though. Not really my cuppa tea, but not bad.


    This is what i wrote in twitter:

    CLIFF MARTINEZ's "DRIVE" proves to be a very soothing and calming, late summer night listen. His "CONTAGION" is far rawer and darker though.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Original film cues. Hans did write some long tracks though, typical for his 90s scores.

    NP: K2 - Hans Zimmer

    I would love to hear this score in the movie. The Chaz Jankel version was completely underwhelming to me. Hans' work is powerful and emotional and epic and intimate. There are so much variety in orchestration, coming from grand brass statements, to the gorgeous cello/viola-strong string passages. The electric guitar works wonder, accentuating the orchestration, rather than overwhelms it. Love this score. One of Hans' absolute best score in his career.

    I've seen the film once and caught little bits of it since ( it's a middling film, nether good nor bad ) but I've never heard the Chaz Jankel score, each print I've heard contains Zimmer's score.

    I have always assumed that the long tracks on the CD were put together for the album. I find them quite frustrating and have edited out the more enjoyable passages.

    This is the Silva suite ( considering there isn't any other version around ) and very good it is too, shame the title theme is absent.

    NP: The Peacemaker - Hans Zimmer

    Looks like it's Zimmer day, today. Excellent, excellent action score. It's an upgraded, well thought action thriller version of Crimson Tide/The Rock. Meaty, brassy action cues with dense orchestrations from the side of Hans that you don't hear often. Strong thematic core, with good motivic arrangements. Just excellent.

    Well, yes and no. "Mutiny" has two part, the first part (the march theme) is a shortened version of the one in the movie, and the 2nd part is taken verbatim from a death scene. "Alabama" is a conglomeration of various cues. And a HUGE section of "1SQ" is the actual score (but shortened!) from the 3rd act.
  25. Is what you are listening a mix of the album tracks plus additional, extra tracks?

    Good to know I can skip it then. The original album will continue to do nicely, which also includes the cool 80s songs.

    I was listening to an 89 minutes version, sourced from (I think) the original session. I think that some of the tracks in here have been edited from the official release, but the unreleased stuff sounds incredibly good, if not on par with the official release.
