    Yeah, I'd probably agree with that. Although Ultimatum contains my favourite track from any of the scores: Tangiers. (With Bim Bam Smash a close second, and Waterloo and close third.)

    Ultimatum is (easily) my favourite of the albums and possibly my favourite Powell album.

    (but I like all of those scores - and Mr and Mrs Smith, which is a bit like Bourne with tangos!)

    I must admit I seem to choose Ultimatum over the others more often than not. Tangiers really is the most bad ass thing Powell has ever written. (Great to listen to on your iPod if you're walking through a large crowd, or indeed Waterloo if you're in Waterloo.)

    Hmm, I wouldn't mind going to Tangier or Moscow...

    The Last Airbender James Newton Howard

    I'll blow my own trumpet here and say that my album version of this is far superior to the official one. I've done more than shuffle a few tracks around, essentially I've rearranged and cut tracks by getting rid of the slow parts and finished the album off with the Airbender suite, but with the climax of Flow Like Water edited on the end. The suite shouldn't have been put at the beginning of the album, but the latter part of Flow Like Water is still the best way to finish it I think.

    At 45 minutes, I think it's a far healthier running time for the material. And that's 45 minutes of excellent music. And the timpani… the timpani!

    There, trumpet blowing over.
    But I am amazing.

    There is a rip of the film version of the end credits floating about in the ether of the Internet, and that would be an even better way to finish the album... but alas, it's a rather dodgy rip.
  6. PREDATORS - JOHN DEBNEY

    Impossible to beat the original from Silvestri, but this one does have some big brass balls, making it a thrilling listen for me every time and I totally love the fact that Debney took over a lot of the motifs, sounds and themes from mighty Alan's action masterpiece.

    The Cassandra Crossing - Jerry Goldsmith

    Sexy, stylish 70s thriller score. Seriously underrated!

    The motif that Goldsmith used for the actual bridge is one of those moments that's stayed with me from the moment I first saw/heard it.

    Maybe, but I saw the film for the first time this summer (my dad had a DVD of it lying around in the summer house), and it was pants!

    Indeed it is. I thought it was frequently hilarious, which meant I enjoyed watching it. Very much so-good-it's-bad. I was rolling round the floor during the seemingly random hippie singalong that happened on the train.

    Yeap! It's much better than THE SWARM though I'd argue that Jerry's score for that film is better.

    NP : THE BLACK HOLE - John Barry



    A Barry score I never really liked has now become a bit of a favourite since the revelation of Intrada's complete score release.

    I love Jerry's score for The Swarm! Such a dumb film but fun to watch (parts of).
    The Cassandra Crossing has great action cues but I hate the recording!

    Every Shyamalan score he's written so far also includes one exceptional cue, like in this case ' Flow Like Water'. If you gather all these in a single album, you have the best pieces he's written smile

    you said it, finally someone who appreciated the original and used the most important stuff of that score with his own material. I love it!

    Ilan Eshkeri's 'Johnny English Reborn'

    is certainly not as good as Ed.Shearmur's original, but holds some small surprises in it. Generally speaking, it's orchestral which is a large plus and there are no rc-isms in it, but it's too closely connected to the movie and comes disjoint as a listening experience on cd.

  23. RED SONJA - ENNIO MORRICONE

    The Perseverance release is a recent discovery and buy. It's a good Ennio... I especially love the choir and the melodies it's used in. Very short but very enjoyable.

    Why isn't everyone talking about LUDOVIC BOURCE - The Artist ? Such elegance, charm and melody! Nostalgic of eras past. 20's glory and romanticism at their best. Kinda like what Giacchino was doing with the lush Paris streets, in Ratatouille. Only better smile

  25. Sometimes you make me laugh, D.

    Never heard of either. From my own browsing or from any film music related publicity.

    How did you come by this?

  27. The film has only been doing the festivals, has only just been released in France and has yet to get a general release. Just what are we meant to be talking about?

    Well, he kinda does have a cool name.

    Ludovic Bource.

    Sounds like a villain from a 19th century novel.

    I am talking about different, orchestral film music with passion and flair for a change, instead of the usual suspect crap we talk around here. How's that for an excuse ? wink Also the comment had a bit of irony in it, i thought it was evident? wink
