M:I Ghost Protocol Michael Giacchino
Too sad the mixing/recording or whatver is...so...I don't know. I don't like it. Erik is the expert in this issues. So maybe He can help me.
Is it like Super 8 where they managed to make a 100 piece orchestra sound like it was playing inside a tin can? Why do they mix everything so narrow? It's a massive orchestra, it's meant to be loud and have reverb and oomph! -

Pretty much yes, though not as "narrow". -

NP : CONAN THE DESTROYER - Basil Poledouris
Amazing!
Dagoth Ceremony ( formerly known as The Orgy ) was awesome with choir.
I'm playing the whole CD again right now!
I've really been enjoying this since it arrived on Saturday, obviously it doesn't reach the dizzying heights of the original but it's a terrific performance of a fun score. And what a treat to get the score for the stage show rerecorded on disc 2, I think I'm enjoying this even more than disc 1.
Yeah it's superb! I really love the percussive Capricorn One influenced 'The Fight'.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I didn't expect Conan the Destroyer to be as good as it is with this re-recording. Martijn was spot on with his assessment and I wonder how many more mediocre sounding scores would get higher marks with this orchestra performing them.
I've ordered this now, as I wasn't sure whether I would like this sequel treatment."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 seems like I was in a minority of people who could hear how good DESTROYER is/was.
Anyway, this recording has shot up to one of my top 10 releases of the year.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Interestingly you were.
I know this score like the back of my hand, and was convinced I didn't like it much.
The rerecording utterly blindsided me, and definitely changed my assessment of how my preferences are created/biased..'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

Until reading the liner notes I didn't realise 'Adventures of Conan' was scored before DESTROYER, interesting to note that the 'mystical' music ( Winds of The Woods ) was expanded upon a year later for Destroyer's score.
How refreshing it is on THIS thread to be talking about a composer whose name isn't Zimmerpowellgiacchino.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

There are very few Giacchino scores (the MoH ones being a welcome exception) that don't sound like this...I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

Mission: Impossible IV Michael Giacchino
As Jordi said, there's a very decent and enjoyable 40 minutes within a 70 minute or so album. I LOVE the Russian bits!
Sorry Timmer. If it's any consolation I listened to some Elmer Bernstein earlier today. -

NP: The Very Best of Hans Zimmer / John Powell / Michael Giacchino Mix
A bizzare mix I know but something inside me told me I should create this playlist. As if my future had something to do with it.

I remember it being one of my favourite Williams albums, but I haven't heard it in years. Got it on CD today, so a good excuse, I guesshttp://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Days of Heaven - Ennio Morricone
Easily the soundtrack release of 2011 as far as I'm concerned, I've listened to this as much as all other albums released this year added together. An absolute stunner. -

Yet again this year: "The Thorn Birds" (Henry Mancini)
I've said it before, and better, so I won't try again unless truely inspired with wording, but this is a beautiful, lovely score, one of the greatest scores I have heard, and I would hold one of the best things Henry did. Lush, soft, delicate, upbeat, playful, sad, so much to offer. Beautiful, easily memorable themes.
Purchasing the 2CD Varese Sarabande release was hands down one of the best things I ploped money down on.
I simply wish more people would have heard this. I almost never see anybody talk about this scoreThe views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -
