NP: Antigua Vida Mia - Ángel Illarramendi
A very minimalistic score (violin, cello, bass, clarinet, marimba and bandoneon). It has a main theme very quirky and with some argentinean references. It doesn't have the typical string writing from Illarramendi, but it's very nice.
Definitely worth a listen. Illarramendi is a composer worth looking into in my opinion.
It's sad that he never was called to score american blockbuster. -

Definitely worth looking into, but like Delerue, Morricone and others who wrote gobsmackingly beautiful melodies, the dissonant suspense material often grates, IMO.I am extremely serious. -

Days of Heaven - Morricone, E.
Well, this is stunning. Terrence Malick films may not be to everyone's tastes but they certainly inspire the best from film composers. It's hard to pick a favourite Malick soundtrack (like picking your favourite vital organ) but disc two of this would probably be my choice. -

It's so nice to finally hear this score in the original chronological order, and some music from the movie which didn't make it to the original CD release. -

What, and be dictated as to what style to write in? I suspect that's why the likes of Legrand, Sarde, Morricone etc rarely work in that mind numbingly unoriginal wallpaper pasting environment.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

There's a bit of music I wish had been on the official release but at the same time I find that CD a chore to listen to all the way through.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I don't think he's going to be quit his style to fit into american films. He has scored a few co-produced British-Spanish films like Shampoo Horns, Twice Upon A Yesterday and Presence Of Mind, and those have his style intact:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EmQE_M79o4
Also, he said in a interview that he would never change his style for a film (he barely used synths in his scores). As a example, he said that if a director want him to make music that sound like Williams, he would say to him to hire Williams instead. -

All great themes. Alas, composed for danish (/norwegian) movies, few people will ever get to know these themes.
I'm sure there are many more amazing themes. Being a danish film score composer, he's criminally underreleased, and there must be countless goodies out there waiting for a release.

Well, I've championed the FLÅKLYPA theme quite a few times over the years, one of my absolute favourite film or tv themes of all time. Maybe some of that has seeped in.
But I agree....too bad he's really only famous over here (except for "Alley Cat", which was quite successful overseas).I am extremely serious. -

Difficult listening, but more accesible than 2, which was more accesible than 1. Some really dreamy textures here. These scores constitute Williams at his most avantgarde, IMO.I am extremely serious. -

The track "Fire and Fury" has such an awful rip of the second half of "Arrival to Earth" from Transformers, that once when my foobar was playing random tracks, I literally thought I was listening to one of the demos from the Transformers promo, and it took me two minutes to realize what it actually was.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

NP : THE SON OF KONG - Max Steiner
great stuff, thanks a lot Tom
Some of "Dad's" motifs aside I was surprised how Gershwin like some of this score is? It's been decades since I've seen the film but I was also surprised at how much was still reasonably familiar.
A bit later I also played THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME, also a fine score, one motif reminded me of Nascimbene's THE VIKINGS and there's another that I kept expecting to develop into Williams 'The Emperor's Theme' from RETURN OF THE JEDI.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

NP: THE MAN WHO LOVED CAT DANCING (John Williams/Michel Legrand)
It strikes me that the rejected Legrand score is quite interesting in its own right. Has a kind of Middle Eastern tinge, especially through his own vocalizations. I would certainly have loved to see the film with it....might have given it a less conventional soundscape.I am extremely serious. -

NP: The Black Hole (Complete) - John Barry
I listened to this score for the first time in years last week in preparation for Intrada's complete version. While I really enjoyed the LP presentation I must say that the Intrada album is a stunner. My appreciation for this score has gone up tenfold! While I'm not a fan of recording engineer Dan Wallin, the remastering of his recording on this release is brilliant. Being the first ever digitally recorded film score, the master tapes were perfectly preserved and the people at Intrada gave a lot of time and care to the transfer of them for this CD. The sound is, for the lack of a better word, flawless!!! Dynamic and detailed with the right amount of stereo separation (something that is severily lacking in Wallin's present day mixes) And the blaster beam comes through as clear as day!
This is a classic Barry score that got the release it deserved. Bravo Intrada!

I had to turn off Days of Heaven at the 20 track mark of the first disc. It not something you just play in the background! It's excellent music, don't get me wrong, but you have to be in the right mood for that sort of score and you need to be willing to dedicate a full 2 hours and 16 minutes to get through it all. I got through 47 minutes and it felt like 2 hours and 16 minutes. Not sure when I will return to this one.
I've moved onto a score that I let iTunes pick for me.
NP: City Hall by Jerry Goldsmith.
Those that love Goldsmith's other film noir scores... most notably Chinatown and L.A. Confidential will find this 30 minute Varese CD a perfect complement to those two classics.
