    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.

    NP: FIREBIRDS (David Newman)

    I love the electronic bits in this score, and the orchestral parts aren't shabby either. This should get a proper release!!
    I am extremely serious.

    It's a good time to be a big Bernstein fan. Some are more interesting to me than others. Drango's certainly the strongest of the recent releases (though I am greatly looking forward to getting Summer and Smoke).

    Now, Summer and Smoke is a definite "yes". But the recent Men In War was a definite "no". The clips for Drango suggests a "no" as well.

    I ordered Men In War, hasn't arrived yet. I rarely listen to clips - don't find it a reliable way of basing a CD purchase. So I rely mostly on Internet chatter, but of course for this sort of score that only happens at FSM, and at FSM you're only allowed to comment on limited edition soundtrack releases if you think they're utterly incredible (unless of course they're the Varese CD Club, in which case the reverse is true).

    NP: Love Happens - Christopher Young

    Was reading rumors of an impending rerelease of Young's Jennifer 8 (expanded perhaps) and an official release of The Core and felt the need to enjoy a mix of Young's styles.

    Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - Edward Shearmur

    Spirited Williams-esque title theme leads us into a score which is packed with non stop action.
    Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream.
  9. I find audio clips infinitely more reliable than FSM messageboard chatter - as many of my listened-to-only-once CDs will witness.

    I'm yet to really find a reliable way. My CD purchasing has gone down considerably but I still buy most releases, other than seemingly-unnecessary expansions, of certain composers and for now Bernstein is one of them. It won't be long before I stop buying CDs altogether, the saturation point was reached a long time ago and I have far too much already which is good but I never have chance to listen to it.

    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 ?

    I saw the film too. It worked pretty well in the film, especially the final cue.

    House of the Flying Daggers
    Memoirs of a Geisha

    Fantastic score with plenty of beautiful power anthems and riffs. Sound quality is excellent for a boot, but it should get a proper release.

    The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos | the cinematic orchestra

    Lovely score, very laid-back and with a fine main theme, that's also in the song at the end. Small orchestra, with focus on solo's from strings and piano.

    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.


    I like it a lot! The circus cues are great fun. 'Flying Forward in Time' has one of those typically gorgeous melodies only he can write.

    Agreed, we need us some of Hans' early work, the kind he's ashamed of, but for the life of me I can't see why he would be ashamed of something so cool.

    That score is the perfect example of a "feel good" score.

    WILLIAMS ON WILLIAMS: THE CLASSIC SPIELBERG SCORES

    Bloody fantastic John Williams compilation focusing on Hook, Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, Raiders, Jaws, E.T., Empire of the Sun, 1941 and CE3K. I love albums like these, featuring great re-recordings of various cues.

    Though from 1995, it's another recent discovery, this has some stellar concert versions of much loved tracks from these scores. Jaws is particularly awesome, as well as all the selections from Hook. There are some great passionate performances here that stand effortlessly next to the originals.

    I'd love a sequel album to this. cool

    The film's well worth watching, too. To complete the trilogy, I've even downloaded the book for my Kindle, though haven't read it yet.

    NP: The Painted Veil ~ Alexandre Desplat
    It's a common phrase of us film music lovers to say the we "have fallen in love with the music". It's even more common to express our admiration for a composer by using exesive words about their grandiose style. I know because I've done it often. But there is that music or admiration about a composer that cannot be expressed by words. I don't know how Desplat does it but he seems to be able to touch feelings and thoughts and give them shape, make them exist outside context, like a part of something bigger and yet at the same time single and with a touch of profound sensitivity and -why not-melancholy and loneliness. I haven't felt that more in his work than in The Painted Veil. And the incorporation of Erik Satie's Gnossienne no.1 makes it even more stronger. So yes...I have fallen in love with this.

    was playing... yesterday I think? Super 8 Michael Giacchino

    I'm a little out of the loop when it comes to the general consensus on scores from the last year, but this is a close second to Mars Needs Moms for me. As fantastic as Giacchino's previous film scores have been, particularly Ratatouille, this feels like a very personal score from Giacchino. Although the film is clearly ET-meets-Close Encounters-meets-The Goonies with a dash of Cloverfield, I'm pretty sure I don't hear any obvious nods to those scores? Like Lost, this is Giacchino's style laid bare. Excellent score for an equally excellent movie.

    Yes. I'm sure you'll be carefully reading all 125,000 posts I've made since you've been gone and, when you do, you'll find one from me almost identical to this. It's his most personal score outside Lost and I love it.

    This score is second only to Lust Caution as my favorite Desplat score.
