NP: The Thing - Ennio Morricone
It has been YEARS since I've listened to this score. It hasalmost been the same amount of time since I've seen the film. I do remember really enjoying Morricone's score (especially at this time of the year) and remember the film being one of the finest horror films ever made. I really need to revisit the film this Halloween season.
As for the score, I'm spinning the new re-recording which is surprisingly quite remarkable! I love the John Carpenteresque pulse heard in the "Main Title/Desolation." That element can be found in some of Carpenter's best horror scores (Halloween/Prince of Darkness) and keeps the score moving forward. I love the electronic elements (which Carpenter asked Morricone to do AFTER writing a more orchestral score the first time around) that blends seamlessly with the organic orchestral elements. However, the orchestral elements in this recording are all samples... but a dare you to tell the difference between these samples and the live orchestral cues from the original soundtrack recording. Amazing technology!
Who would have thought it but this could go down as one of the most faithful re-recordings of all time! A big round of applause for everyone evolved in this project; the Buysoundtrax team, producer Alan Howarth and arranger Larry Hopkins. I'm recording my Halloween show today and this most certainly will be the headliner. One of the most pleasant surprises of the year! Highly recommended!

Hopefully your comments, Erik, will get more of a response than my own comments did.
Two days since I posted some comments on my own thoughts and apparently no interest whatsoever. Maybe I should have mentioned it did/didn't sound like Zimmer or Desplat or even Bates or Haslinger.

Well, the best place to post about what you are currently listening to is in this thread. The Now Playing threads are easily the most popular on the board.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts. good to see someone else enjoying this as much as I am!

Quite a review. Perhaps I'll have to get it after all.
In any case, the movie is extraordinary. One of the best horror movies of all time.

NP: The Thing - Marco Beltrami
Not as engaging as Morricone's original but I will say that Beltrami does some of the most unholy things with the orchestra that I've ever heard. He also hints at the Morricone pulse from the original... nice touch. The action cue "Sanders Buck" (GREAT track title!) is one of the most ferocious I've heard in a long time. It stand side by side with Don Davis' "Pencil Neck" from The House on Haunted Hill.
Anyway, there is some sensational writing going on here but the highlights are too few and far between to work as a solid 55 minute listening experience.

NP: RESTORATION (James Newton Howard/Henry Purcell)
Very underrated baroque score that blends perfectly between JNH's more contemporary period music and Purcell's original period pieces.
I think that's one of JNH's best scores. His contribution to that film's music is so consistently good from start to finish. It blends really well with the period music, but is so dramatic and beautiful. Great stuff!
NP - Standard Operating Procedure - Danny Elfman
Goodness, Elfman's writing sure has come a long way. Comparing this with some of his early stuff, it's just on a different level. I love the melodies of his older scores, but the complexity, technicality, and intricacy of some of his more recent scores is very impressive. I'm not always in the mood for this one, but when I am it's pretty satisfying. -

SOP is a fantastic score, and one of the best he's done in the last 10 years.I am extremely serious. -

Oh how I wish this score had an extra 20-30 minutes of material focusing mainly on adaption of the main themes, uninterrupted by mickey-mousing and songs.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

If you like this kind of stuff you'll love this year's CAMELOT (Danna brothers) and of course that other, older Danna score whose title i can't recall right now.....have you already heard Camelot?
Well, well.
Hunted both Restoration and Camelot down and ordered them.
Thanks, D.!
