    NP: My Full collection on shuffle. That's almost 1500 hours worth if music I get to sample a little bit of here and there.

    So far I have bounced between The Ron Jones Project - Star Trek TNG (Ron Jones), Predator 2 (Silvestri), The Day the Earth Stood Still (Herrmann), The Constant Gardner (Iglesias), Doctor Who (Murray Gold), Bless The Child (Young) and Bobby Jones: Strole of Genius (Horner).

    I usually prefer the cohesion of listening to an album in full, but shuffling brings up so many great scores that I seem to forget to go back to.

    Next up is Twilight (Carter Burwell). Fun day!


    Oh, and let me just quickly add that this place is a true sanctuary of adult conversation and genuine film music appreciation and discussion. A genuine respite from a soul weary of childish words an actions on that 'other' site.

    That can be interesting sometimes. I have more than 40 days(!) worth of continous music in my collection, so you never know what you're gonna get. smile

    Glad you say that. I couldn't agree more. This has been my favourite film music place on the internet for the last 4-5 years or so, and that's saying much since I've been a regular at FSM since 1997.
    I am extremely serious.

    NP: Puss in Boots - Fake John Powell

    Good score. It's absolutely amazing how much Henry Jackman's music sounds like a John Powell creation at certain points. Enjoyable album, for sure, if not extremely derivative.
  8. Talking about "fake" composers:

    NP: Transformers: Dark of The Moon - Jeff Broadbent

    Steve Jablonsky-like here. Broadbent is using all the familiar devices of the film scores, jumbled them about and laid them out for this game score. The "Multiplayer Theme" in particular is Jablonsky's theme...but not quite...but just enough to make you think of the film music.

    When all is said and done, it's bold brash and loud. All the things a Transformers score should be.

    Not so amazing if you take into account that Jackman has done some ghostwriting on recent scores, including How to Train Your Dragon.

    NP: THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU - THOMAS NEWMAN

    There's only a handful of cues that I like to listen to and would readily insert into a Newman compilation, but the good stuff really is good - classic Newman, IMO.

    No you are right on this one and he has showed glimpses of that writing but I see it very difficult to actually happen. He gets smaller and smaller assignments as times go by and nowadays most directors go for the "new" zimmeresque rc-ish / Brian Tyler action kind of thing. If it was 2011, I think the chances of Troy by Yared happening even accidentally would be closer to zero now.

    Yeah, the problem with that style of action music is that Hans Zimmer is the only composer who can do that style well. Everyone else sounds like a mere imitator.
  12. I've been listening to a couple scores from this year that I've only just been able to listen to.

    TINTIN - John Williams

    It's so nice to hear something new from Williams, even though it doesn't have one of those instantly famous themes. I still think it has a really good theme (that whole last track - you can't say that's not a theme). That is a great, great track, by the way.

    RIO - John Powell

    A lot of these tracks are a little less fun than some of Powell's other recent scores. However, there are still some great tracks in here. I LOVE "Morning Routine." It has that light breezy fun Powell sound in spades. "Chained Chase" is super fun, with tons of that Brazillian sound I was hoping to find lots of in this score. It isn't as Brazillian-y as I had hoped, but this track certainly is. And the last two tracks, "Rio Airport" and "Flying" are top drawer Powell - and some of the best music I've heard from this year. MARS NEEDS MOMS is the stronger album of the two, but this score has some great stuff, not to be missed!
  13. THE PRINCE OF EGYPT - HANS ZIMMER & STEPHEN SCHWARTZ

    Including the three cues not on the official album, this will never be anything less than 5 stars in my book. Pure bliss with equally strong score and songs (those that feature in the film).

    Somehow I have serious doubts he'll ever write something like this again. sad

    Been more than a week I listened to it. I'll return to it soon enough, it's fun all the way. cool

    Sure, sure, but I've always considered Powell's style to be very unique and somewhat inimitable. Jackman's work is really on point but you still get the idea that it was hugely influenced by the temp score.

    Yeah, I agree. Great score, great music, good album. This is a score that deserve a full complete release.

    you said it. I adore those songs. But the score by Zimmer is his crowning jewel. That last track (that wasn't used in the film) is a stunner pure sang

    Yup, when Jordi and I where driving to Ypres actually. We were really amazed by how much fun it was. What a fantastic main theme. Poledouris all over it, and the the banjo (?) is absolutely great. punk

    Adore this album, both songs and score. I have 'Chariot Race' and 'It is Only Beginning...' from the selections promo cd (Picked it up for 97cents in Maine a couple months ago, result!), but what is the third track you refer to?

    Well, I think he's also referring to the latter half of the Chariot Race track, which does contain the climatic ending cue.

  27. What I've listened to since the start of the month:

    Who Framed Roger Rabbit - Alan Silvestri

    The noir jazz bits are very nice to listen to but the mickey mouse material ruins the album as a whole.

    The Core - Christopher Young

    Easily worth the $30 at Intrada, the score has epic action/adventure orchestrations.

    Fly Away Home - Mark Isham

    One of his best family movie scores.

    A Fish Called Wanda - John Du Prez

    An extremely enjoyable comedy caper score from the 1980s, with a pleasing love theme.

    The Last Run - Jerry Goldsmith

    Another crime caper score, more serious in tone than the one listed above

    Cocoon - James Horner

    An early dramatic highlight in Horner's career.

    In Time - Craig Armstrong

    It's nice to hear Armstrong working again, but there are better scores by him out there

    Timeline - Jerry Goldsmith

    A epilogue culmination of every Goldsmith action/adventure score of the late 1990s/early 2000s in one.

    Remember the Titans - Trevor Rabin

    Cheesy uplifting MV styled sports score. If that's your thing, you'll enjoy it.

    NP : THE GOLDEN CHILD - John Barry



    One of the years very best and very surprising releases. I like Michel Colombier's score too but it doesn't get anywhere near as much play as Barry's score for the film.
