  1. Personally I like the references. I love the piece.

    "Main Title" - Breakheart Pass - Jerry Goldsmith

    A good example of a propulsive title theme. One thing I like about this one is how Goldsmith seems to pass the various bits back and forth around the orchestra. Nice variations.

    Great theme, love it!

    "It's A Chance - Main Title" - Body Double - Pino Donaggio

    A lovely piano-led track this one. I am not too familiar with the score as a whole but the theme is good to hear.

  4. 5

    "Mother of All Cannibals" - Dexter: Seasons 2 & 3 - Daniel Licht

    This one I like more for the choice of instruments and rhythm rather than for any theme. The marimba-style(?) playing with the flute is what highlights the track for me. I've never watched the show so I have no link with the characters in the music.

  5. 6

    "The End" - M Squad - Johnny Williams

    Not usually a good sign for me the "Johnny" name but this is a great effervescent track full of muted brass, sax, double bass and drums. I can't help but smile at this track.

    The Twilight Zone: I Sing The Body Electric - Nathan Van Cleave

    A two minute track cut from the OST suite. Nice, inoffensive strings punctuated with weird electronics that sound more machine than instrument. Not sure if I like the electronics or not!

  7. 8

    "Demi-Frere" - Un Frere - Philippe Sarde

    For this one I like the strings quartet-styled sound of the track against the prominent double bass(?). Unusual sound.

  8. 9

    "Numerology" - Knowing - Marco Beltrami

    Quite a suspenseful track this one, full of foreboding. Great brooding ticking clock vibe to this.

    "The Warhawk" - Warhawk - Christopher Lennertz

    I think this is a quality score from this composer, though it does borrow from the Medal of Honor sound in bits.

    One of those YouTube grabs for me on this one and it sounds reasonably good even on headphones.

  11. This is one of those downloads that nobody ever mentions!

    "Asesinato Frustrado" - Moriras en Chafarinas - Bernardo Bonezzi

    An Eastern-influenced track this one: a slinky dance but with a declamatory horn passage in the middle. Goodness knows what it all means!

  12. Finishing off this 10 track (!) selection with:

    "One Night With The King - End Credits" - One Night With The King - J.A.C. Redford

    This one sounds epic - in bits. I remember being a bit disappointed with this one when I heard it in full. Some great tracks but this summary track would have been a satisfactory representation of the score.

    11,459? Not very selective are you? tongue

    As it stands now my favorites are at 578.

  13. No, not very selective at all!

    My favourites list are all the tracks I enjoy listening to for one reason or another. I envy people who can chop and change their various playlists and keep track of what's where.

    NP: THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS (James Horner)

    This is one of the most gorgeous things composed in the 2000's and definitely among Horner's best in that decade. Brilliant film too.

  14. Apparently. Over 22 days continuous playing.

    Haven't seen the film, but I agree, a fine album.

    Horner handles the film so well, avoiding making it at all mawkish, handling it very sensitively. The book is incredibly powerful and the film can't live up to it, but it's certainly a very good one. I've just grown to like the album more and more as time has gone by. One of my favourites of the 2000s for sure.

    I like the score mainly for the last 30 minutes of it. Talk about emotionally exhausting... shocked

    Kilimanjaro - Alan Williams

    It's enjoyable, as long as you don't mind the huge Dinosaur and James Horner rips.

    I'm just stating it's out there. I know it's not unreasonable to think that track temp does get into his line of work.

  18. NP: X-Men: First Class - Henry Jackman

    First cue. Nice opening with strings and french horns playing the supposed main theme. The rock elements comes at 1:58 but doesn't become too noisy. It has a The Last Stand/ Tron vibe. And already better than Wolverine.

    EDIT: I just done with it. It's decent, not The Last Stand quality, but it's enjoyable and unlike Wolverine, there's more of one moment in the score to hear. There's two themes. The main theme for the X-Men, and the theme for Magneto. There's some choral moments in the score like in Rise Up To Rule, Let Battle Commence, Sub Lift, Coup d'État.

    The synths and rock elements sound like Inception on steroids. Sometimes can get a little bit noisy, but doesn't drown the orchestra.
  19. NP: True Grit (Carter Burwell)

    One of Burwell's best. The use of the Protestant hymn melodies was an inspired choice. The directness of the little girl's world view comes through.

    It's almost a Pavlovian response from Erik when Alan Williams' name is mentioned! wink

    Absolutely, but so is the film.[spoiler] The ending is predictable, but it has an inevitable drive to it that just drains you out. Horner's music is instrumental in this, esp. those string chords that get more and more dissonant, more and more desperate as they approach the final revelation.[/spoiler]
