NP: Your Highness - Steve Jablonsky. It's not bad, but the electronics sound very odd and out of place. Feel like I'm listening to the score from a kids' sci-fi film.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

I think Lennertz got the sound of Medal of Honor down to a tee!!! Rising Sun was a little underwhelming, I agree with you there, but he more than made up for it with Pacific Assault and European Assault! IMO, he was the perfect choice to take over from Giacchino. And his other game scores have been superb as well... GUN, James Bond, etc. And I'm very pleased with what he has been doing with the family comedy fare he has been getting as of late. Unfortunately, Lennertz has yet to meet a J.J. Abrams or a Brad Bird to help him really get his career into full throttle but here's hoping one day he gets he true big break he deserves.

It has a well thought out merging of orchestra and electronics (even if the orchestra provides most of the highlights). The flow of the album is a bit off at times, but overall, it's a solid score.Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

THE BURBS - JERRY GOLDSMITH
There's no denying this must be one of the best comedy scores of all time. But Jerry having been the master he was, he didn't just do comedy for this film, there's a bit of everything in it.
Great fun in the film and on CD. Good to finally have a copy.
I agree whole heartily. From the western theme, to the Patton, and to the organ as well. One of the most enjoyable scores for me to listen. Definitely a circumstance where the score elevates the film to an incredible level. -

I agree. It's barely worth being alive if you don't own this set.
Having the official releases of MOH, MOH:U and MOH:F is more than enough for me. And Allied Assault I got on a separate CD when I bought the game.
I'm in the same boat, but am very tempted right now. Your fellows comments on European Assault make it very enticing. -

SPACECAMP - JOHN WILLIAMS
Another one I missed when Intrada released it, because I screwed up when ordering over at SAE, but this is an essential purchase for me and I've found a cheap(ish) copy, so all is well.

It's quite a dreamy score, I like it but I have to be in the right mood, I much prefer A Whale For The Killing, a great score that's way too short.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I haven't seen the movie but the score has grown on me a lot since some time. "Touch Of The Sun" and"R.I.P" are two really wonderful (and in case of the latter, touching) cues, and the Liberation theme is exciting as well. -

The Last Starfighter - Craig Safan
Excellent main theme with its 12 part harmonic beginning and varied appearances throughout. The use of the 1980s electronics as comic relief/mickey mouse material is very very annoying, but the rest of the John Williams-styled underscore is strong enough that it counters the weak parts.Revenge is sweet... Revenge is best served cold... Revenge is ice cream. -

I love Safan's The Last Starfighter. An eighties gem!
Now just starting to go through the Medal Of Honor box set which arrived today along with Goldsmith's First Knight.
One gripe though, the jewel case on part of the MOH set was shattered! All fixed now though.
Let the fun begin! -

The Last Starfighter is an 80's staple... both film and score. It's Safan's best score (next to The Son of the Morning Star) and while the Star Wars influence is apparent he still managed to make the score his own and give the film its own distinct sound. Brilliant!
NP: Lair - John Debney and Kevin Kaska
Derivative with influences and rip offs from all over film music but it is still one of the most entertaining orchestral thrill rides I've been on in years! And Debney wrote arguably his greatest theme - The Civilization Theme - which he ruined by tacking on Horner's four-note danger motif at the end of it but made up for it with the brilliant "Epilogue" featuring Lisbeth Scott's over the top vocals! Superb recording and the sampled chorus is surprisingly effective!

Sometimes I just don't understand why I buy some CDs!
All the hallmarks were there...Bruce Broughton in comedy mode, etc. And I still fell for it.

Didn't think much of it when it came out, but seeing his course after that i'd say that i'd rather be getting lair's all the time from him instead
Has some great cues and it's generally very pleasant a listening experience, although personally i can't listen to the entire album at once.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

It's OK in that down-and-dirty trip hop style, not that dissimilar from The Dust Brothers' FIGHT CLUB, but some of that highpitched sound is a bit grating. Great grooves!I am extremely serious. -

It's not as much fun to talk about the good stuff so I don't tend to mention that! Some enjoyable stuff would be:
"Claire Denis Film Scores 1996-2009" - Tindersticks / Dickon Hinchliffe / Stuart Staples
The Runner - Cody Westheimer
Fast Five - Brian Tyler
Heroic Age - Naoki Sato
Ravagers - Fred Karlin

UNTOLD LEGENDS: DARK KINGDOM - LAURA KARPMAN
A two hour gamerip from a 2007 RPG holding powerhouse orchestral and choral music from a composer who has delivered one of the best game scores in recent memory, namely Everquest II. Bring it on please...
But this one sounds totally different from Everquest II which was very thematic as well as powerful. For Untold Legends Karpman has written largely non-thematic material but you have to hear how the orchestra and choir is used to create incredibly powerful soundscapes. Dark disonnance, percussive sections, choral power, while innovatively structured. The orchestrations are nothing short of brilliant. Normally music without any themes I quickly turn off, but here I was intruiged all the way through. Fans of mostly ambient but powerful orchestral / choral music should have a boner while listening to this."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

It's Patrick Doyle in RC emulation mode. Extremely admirable and kinda attractive, though not as memorable as I wanted it to be, minus those snippets of thematic material... I hope Mr. Doyle will land more gigs after this. -
