  1. COURAGE UNDER FIRE - JAMES HORNER

    It has its share of music that is worth it. The thrilling action cue at the beginning is the perfect opener and the sad long cue at the end a great way to end it.

    NP: BEETLEJUICE (Danny Elfman)

    My favourite score from 1988.
    I am extremely serious.
  3. NP: Halloween - John Carpenter

    Listening to the more recent "anniversary" version at the moment: the one with the original soundtrack and the dialogue.

    It had been so long since I had listened to the original release from Varese when this came out I had forgotten just how much had been changed by Carpenter for the album release.

    Carpenter surely knows how to come up with a theme that sticks in the mind smile
    but dialogue? confused
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh
  7. The inclusion of dialogue is a bit disappointing. Luckily it appears mostly when the music takes a bit of a back seat or in dialogue-only tracks. This CD is just finishing and I am now going to give the original Varese album a spin...

    NP: We're Back - A Dinosaur's Story - James Horner

    There's some unexpectedly mature writing in here considering the lightweight subject matter.

    And kazoos, of course.

    NP: Looking for Richard - Howard Shore

    Some bleak music for a dark and wet morning in London. No-one does bleak quite as well as Shore.

    Mars Needs Moms John Powell

    My favourite score of the year so far. 'Gribble's Loss' and 'The Sacrifice' are probably some of the most poignent pieces of music I've heard from Powell. I'd have a hard time choosing between this and How To Train Your Dragon... I fear I may be alone in that respect (this has a much better recording at least).

    No hard time for me... Mars Needs Moms a clear winner.

    Chaplin - John Barry

    Fabulous score which deftly mixes the drama with humour. Absolute killer of a main theme.

    NP: THE SONG OF BERNADETTE (Alfred Newman)

    I would have preferred a condensed presentation of this 2CD set, but it's a great score nonetheless. Beautiful, albeit on-the-nose "Hollywood religiousity".

    I haven't listened to it for years but it's probably my favourite Newman. Would also love a condensed release, though - certainly wouldn't have been years since I listened to it if that were the case.

    The Debt - Thomas Newman

    Just as I predicted, this is probably the closest that Newman will get to scoring an action/thriller film. As such, it's pretty damn good. "One More Parcel" and "Elsa Roget" are definite highlights. Overall, a welcome and much-needed return from one of Hollywood's best.


    What about THE HELP ? Did you like it?

    Yeah, I liked The Help a lot. I missed those Newman strings.


    It is wonderful indeed I am sure it will work wonders in the film too. Anyone watched it yet ?
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Portrait of a Lady - Wojciech Kilar

    Film music perfection.


    I had not heard this score so upon reading this went online and sampled a few tracks. Then I ordered a copy - beautiful stuff!

    Cheers!


    One of the best scores ever written I am glad
    More people are finding out.

    WARHAMMER 40.000: SPACE MARINE - CRIS VELASCO, SASCHA DIKICIYAN

    Wow, move over Jablonsky, this is how Gears of War 3 should've sounded, instead of the repetitive nature of the final product. Dark disonnant, ballsy action scoring with plenty of oomph. I like the sound of this, it's a bit Reign of Fire in places. And it's filled with these great outbursts of little motifs here and there.

    Velasco and Dikiciyan are two guys from the God of War game series, and their music on those was as great as it was memorable. I'm especially fond of Velasco's use of percussion.

    I think I'm going to order this... Not all out epic and glorious as Castlevania: Lords of Shadow but a pleasant bit of action scoring this turns out to be.


    This is a very good game score indeed in contrast to gears if war 3
    Which is absolutely horrible.

  28. NP: Halloween II - John Carpenter

    "In association with Alan Howarth." This is a good example of how a score needs more than a great theme to be a good score. For this score is a poor relation of the original one. The ditching of the piano for a purely synth score was a bad idea.

    A lot of the synth choices are grating and are piercing electronic noise rather than being interesting to listen to. These choices even make the familiar thematic material rather uninteresting.

    Drango - Elmer Bernstein

    A fabulous early Bernstein score. Great main theme, some very dynamic action music.

  30. It is good to see so much Bernstein being released recently. But I am finding that a lot of these scores are not particularly interesting to me.
