    NP: The Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring - Howard Shore

    Watching the trailer for The Hobbit this morning really took me back to the the glory of Shore's LOTR work. I am loving every moment of this score and feel like I will listen to the entire LOTR colection today!

    Enter Laughing/Quincy Jones. This is the second part of the Synanon release.

  3. There is no definitive list, especially if you consider rare announced labels like Counterpoint or what ever the name is of that French one that sometimes releases Delerue re-recordings.

    The La La Land Records wikipedia page is comprehensive. There's a sticky post at JWFan.com with plenty of titles and their release dates.

  4. THE LEGEND OF ZELDA 25TH ANNIVERSARY SYMPHONY - KOJI KONDO

    I knew this would be good, but I'm stunned it turned out to be GODDAMNED BRILLIANT !!!! Only 40 minutes in length this compilation features exemplary arrangements of great and famous (in the video game world) melodies which originate from a purely synthesized template. The oringal melodies are very simple, but lovely and memorable. But hearing the various tunes come alive by the sheer might of orchestra and choir, it clearly shows that any kind of music can be performed by orchestra and sound great if it's handled the right way. The music is very thematic, rousing and will no doubt leave a lasting impression on every lover of symphonic works, even if you're not familiar at all with the games and their musical loveliness.

    CHECK IT OUT! YOU'LL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !!!!

    My, what a fine set this turns out to be, and it was completely unexpected and off my radar until I heard that main title performed by the Prague Philharmonic. A real nice surprise Conan the Destroyer is.

    NP: L'Odyssée De L'Espèce - Yvan Cassar

    Strongly influenced by World Music, this is a beautiful album, with wonderful, soothing and quite moving themes.
    It's a slightly melancholic listen, which I like, but all the more enjoyable for it.
    This is just a lovely, lovely album, which really makes me want to go seek out and see the documentary too (apparently it's on the birth and development of the very first humans on the planet).

    NP: THE COLOR PURPLE (Quincy Jones)

    Love the score proper, but some of the folksy, bluesy stuff tends to grate a bit after a while.
    I am extremely serious.
  10. NP: New Moon (Complete Score) - Desplat

    It has a better flow that the commerical CD, the themes have a better presence. It's funny that Desplat took seriously the "relationship" of Bella and Edward, giving a beautiful main theme. Same with the theme for Jacob, and the Volturi theme.

    Some of the action cues has the same synth chorus from the DH1 demos. And the synth pulse is from the Sonivox Sampla.

    Having been given the odd student-made film to score (all of which I've given up on in exasperation*), I can assure you it's not hard to take even the most shallow written characters seriously. A composer's job is to make the film look good, no matter how bad it is!

    *Due to my own limitations, not that of the film/s

    It's been two weeks since my last listen. The novelty's starting to wear off for me... sad











    Hell no! I just haven't found the time to listen again. smile

    Fateless - Ennio Morricone

    In a word - extremely good. Very moving, powerful stuff and the best use of Lisa Gerrard's voice in a film score.

    Canone Inverso - Ennio Morricone

    I've run out of superlatives when it comes to Morricone. This ranks up there with any music written for film in the 21st century, but hardly anyone's even heard of it.

    NP : THE GOLDEN CHILD - John Barry



    One of the years best ( and most surprising ) releases.

  24. I like Barry's take on it much better than Colombier's. But I have to admit such a score would never have worked with the visuals / story / acting.

    With the film I've seen, yes, I agree with you but the film we've seen is apparantly not the cut that Barry scored.
