    The Iron Lady - Thomas Newman

    Wonderful music. The Help is good too, but I think this is the strongest album to come from him in quite some time.


    Good news! I'm looking forward to it very much. I enjoyed THE HELP quite a bit.

    I can't stand waiting. Newman is on fire lately, no?

  6. CONAN THE BARBARIAN - RE-RECORDING

    Impressively awesome, monumentally fantastic, stupendously magnificent !!!!! punk

    I doubt I'll ever listen to the inferior sounding Varese album again.

    Hugo - Howard Shore

    This might just be my favourite score of the year. Outstanding stuff.

    Hmm....the score didn't do much for me, I'm afraid, even though it had some nice details.

    But I haven't seen the film yet. I have no doubt it works wonders there.
    I am extremely serious.

    The album's overlong, for sure - not for the first time I feel Shore just keeps restating themes rather than trying to develop them - but I still find it a very nice one to listen through.

    NP: EDWARD SCISSORHANDS (Danny Elfman)

    One of my alltime favourites, but I have to portion out the listenings carefully these days, so as not to over-expose it (it was one of the scores I analyzed in my thesis). Perfect for the season.

    I do this with my favourite scores too. My favourite favourite scores. Scores that I will only listen to if I know I'll have time to listen to them all the way through with my undivided attention. It makes a world of difference to the way you "experience" music when all you do is sit there and listen. Most other times I'll often have music on in the background and realise I've got to the end of the album without paying much attention!?

    But then I get so used to not playing them, I sometimes forget that I should listen to them. My 'lesser' scores probably get far more listens than my favourites. dizzy

    NP : OBSESSION - Bernard Herrmann



    I've just set up my turntable to play this. A magnificent score that has long been a fan "grail", would be a very decent seller if and when it get's a CD release.

    NP: Willow - James Horner

    First listen. Wow. What an amazing gem of a score!
  14. I just saw the film Shame, which was splendid, but the composer of that film, Harry Escott, clearly lifted Hans Zimmer's piece "Journey to the Line" from The Thin Red Line. It works in Shame, but it's still a blatant rip-off.
  15. (Well, 'Journey to the Line' has a heritage too... wink )
    A butterfly thinks therefore I am
  16. I know that composers "borrow" from each other very often, some even from themselves (Horner fan here), but gee whiz...

    What is the heritage of Journey to the Line? I mean I know how and why it was written the way we know it. (It's a funny little story actually), but I don't know what's the basic model for it.

    I do notice quite a few references to Days of Heaven in Zimmer's score, but possibly either completely accidental or completely subconscious.

    The homecoming track on War Horse is one of the better efforts from John Williams.
    Tom
    listen to more classical music!
  20. 'Journey to the Line' is usually spoken of as derived from Wagner, from memory. What and where in Wagner, I'm not sure, but the piece certainly has that feel before the Ivesian section kicks in. Sort of a pop wagner.

    Actually speaking of references, you can hear a hint of Part's 'Cantus in memory of benjamin britten' in one of the EXTREMELY LOUD tracks. Certainly it's a more veiled attempt at the piece than Chris Young's version in CREATION.
    A butterfly thinks therefore I am
  21. The final unused part of Journey to the Line (as presented on album and later "reappropriated" in The Last Samurai) definitely derives from Lohengrin's Prelude, Hans actually admitted to that reference (which is hard to discuss with him).
