    Is that right? I'm far too much of a Palestine to know if that's right.

    Anyway, continued from t'other thread:

    Captain America: Another Two Hour Trailer for The Avengers Alan Silvestri

    Definitely a generic score for the most part. 'Training the Supersoldier' is a hint to something far better, unfortunately the rest doesn't really live up to that track, save for the end march theme in all its generic-but-old fashioned awesomeness. The album could also do with a bit of a trim.

    But, dammit, I like it! The theme pops up just enough times during the score to keep my interest, and I've always liked Silvestri's everything-and-the-kitchen-sink style of action scoring. It has its moments, for sure.

    Glad you caught that inbetween the other issue. Love the brass arrangement as well as the "english garden" segment of the song.

    Sleeping With the Enemy - Goldsmith

    Run-of-the-mill Goldsmith thriller score with a very beautiful main theme. Not really sure this one needed expanding.

    This, on the other hand, is far from run-of-the-mill. Though nobody else ever mentions it, so perhaps I'm alone. Love it, classic action-packed adventure score with a couple of wonderful themes. Magical stuff.

    Agreed! I only wish that piece was longer and didn't cut off so abruptly as it does in the movie. In other words, I wish Elfman had expanded upon it and made it one long piano piece as a bonus track on the soundtrack or something (or just replaced the one that's in it that even has dialogue)!
    I am extremely serious.

    My first listen to the new soundtrack A Dangerous Method/Shore. It features the Wagner Siegfried Idyll performed by Lang Lang. Overall this has a very German sound to it, rather heavy. Shore seems to mimic Wagner.

    NP: Spellbinder - Basil Poledouris

    In the run-up to Halloween I am playing my latest purchase of his....but I'm not enjoying it at all. sad
    Aside from a moderately interesting main theme with some ominous organ playing, this is a pretty generic electronic score without much thematic consistency or direction (to put it mildly).
    I don't think I'll revisit this one again.

    Everyone working in film music seems to mimic Wagner from time to time wink Did you like it Tom? Because his recent outcome, and i mean during the last couple of years, has been rather uninteresting, to say the least.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  22. THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN

    I can't get over the fact that I'm enjoying this more and more. While it's hard to memorize anything except maybe for a some action snippets and a few short motifs, there's just an energy to this score that is very infectious. I find it interesting John can still write like this, because it is still very much based on themes (more like motifs in Tintin's case). There's just enough comedy and filler music in between the energetic cues to not make it too much in either department. A very well sequenced album that entertains me throughout. Though I'm going to skip 'Presenting Bianca Castafiore' from now on, I never liked opera anyway.

    'Sir Francis and the Unicorn', 'Red Rackham's Curse and the Treasure' and 'The Pursuit of the Falcon' are classic Williams, I love these cues. punk punk

    NP: The Least Worst Of Michael Perilstein

    Apparently mr. Perilstein has been rather proficient in scoring whole globs of direct-to-video movies and z-grade horror and scifi shlockers. So when I found this CD, filled with classics like "Master Race From Mars", I thought it'd be a good purchase. For $1.99.

    And you know what?
    It's really good fun!
    Yes, it's all electronic and synthesizer work, and some of it is properly cheesy and some of it is properly sleazy....but it's so evidently made with fun and love, and there is such an infectious quirky vibe pervading it all, AND -very importantly- Perilstein has such a grasp on interesting melody, that this is a joy to listen to.

    Not for everyone, to be sure. And certainly you have to be in the right frame of mid for it.
    But this is turning out to be one unexpected (and very welcome) fine addition!

    Oh, the booklet is brilliant as well, containing -for no apparent reason- Madame Poo-Poo's 13 Psych(ot)ic Predictions For The Future ( "11. By the end of the next century, there will be the first inanimate president of the United States, which will become the world's most famous chair"), a four page comic extolling the composer's secret life as a super hero, and a bit about the composer's fan club ("Interested in joining the Michael Perilstein fan club? If this insipid idea inanely invites itself into your head, try the following apparent and alluring antidotes: laugh quietly to yourself; laugh quietly to someone else; laugh loudly out loud and if anyone looks at you as if you shouldn't be laughing at all, look back and laugh louder.")

    I like this guy. smile

    Edit: I too have heard it now: Howard shore - a dangerous method

    Forget what he has been doing in the sideways during the last couple of years, I..e snoozefests. No it is not the shore of lord of the rings, rather the shore of the yards. Yes it's relaxed, completely lacking tension or anything grand. But if you like solemn, calm and beautiful classical sounding piano scores, this is for you. Generally it sounds like coming from a different time than ours and I can only fall for something like this.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    It's surprising how unexpanded this actually is. If you take out all the alternate versions (does anyone ever listen to alternate versions more than once?) it's about 50 minutes. Not sure how long the previous release was, but it can't have been too much shorter, can it?

    Anyway, I'm listening to it again now. It's terrific.
