The Promise - Klaus Badelt
One of his best scores.
Crimson Tide - Hans Zimmer
One of his best scores (better than the similarly styled and later Broken Arrow and The Peacemaker).Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

Sulla Riva del Mare (On the Seashore) - Pompei (Marco Frisina)
I love how Frisina used the female soloist in this cue, like a lament, especially when she performs two of the main themes of the score. -

Casper - James Horner
Enjoyable though this is, there's just something odd about it. The themes are wonderful, but parts of the score are so un-Horner-like, I wonder if someone else did it on his behalf.
Or maybe he genuinely tried to write something new just to challenge himself and the listener. It could happen. -

NP: Millenium Celebration (Reflections of Earth, Tapestry of Nations, two songs) - Gavin Greenway
If I could get into a Powell recording session, I would shout out to the conductor: Stop conducting and write your own music!!
QFT!!!! Gavin is one of those heavily underutilized composer. Distinctive writing style that leans far toward the classical side while deftly incorporating standard MV/RC musical tropes. His recent compositions for the Winter Olympic in Canada was excellent. -

Finally rated all my Two Steps From Hell tracks in itunes. There are 161 tracks that I've rated at least 3 stars. What headbanging bliss it is to listen to these on shuffle.

Agree totally. His theme for B.U.G.S. is one of my favourite TV themes of all time:

Would love to hear that! As I've said on a few occasions, I think Reflections of Earth is the best thing that's ever come out of MV/RC. -

NP: The Sword and the Sorcerer - [i]David Whitaker[/b]
Written during one of the greatest years for film music - 1982 - this one doesn't quite match the brilliance of The Beastmaster and Conan but it's full of jaunty themes and colorful orchestrations. Some of it feels a bit childish (has an Army of Darkness vibe to it) especially when you see how adult the film's subject matter is... but it's a lot of fun even though the recording leaves a lot to be desired.

It's great! There's a lot of really good scoring never released, watching the film again recently made me realise that in actual fact, this score is the closest anyone gets to the Barry feel and some of the cues not included on the album are totally Barryesque.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I watched the film yesterday! (The best of the Moore films, I think). You're right - there's some stuff in there which actually sounds like it could easily have been written by Barry. -

Ha! I remember once furiously insisting otherwise.
Then I got involved in a traffic accident because I'd lost consciousness. And I believe the last thing playing was Jones' MERLIN.

Age of Heroes - Michael Plowman
Well, MovieScore Media continues to surprise me... I never expected to hear a score like this released by Mikael! It's very enjoyable, mind... but as "Remote Control-ish" as you can get. (Old school, though - Rabin or Mancina in their rare moments of quality rather than the modern Jablonsky/Djawadi crap.)
