    Gladiator - Hans Zimmer, Klaus Badelt, Lisa Gerrard

    I go with the masses tonight!

    A popular score but not the best Zimmer' score.

    NP: The Battle of Neretva/The Naked and the Dead - Bernard Herrmann

    First listen... and the first track is punk

    Again, I will state that I'm no fan of complete Bernard Herrmann scores on CD (with a few exceptions.) Let's see how this one holds up! By the way, the sound quality is really aggressive...up close and personal!

    For more info about this release go HERE!

    PS - What the hell? Is that Torn Curtain in "Nazi Attack?" I had no idea Herrmann borrowed music from his rejected score and incorporated it into this score! Neat!

  14. NP: Music From The Twilight Saga - performed by the Redfeld Ensemble

    I like to hear the music from the "movies" which a different approach. The soundtracks are played by a small ensemble and soprano. Also the bit from Desplat's concert in Brazil was lovely.

  16. THE ABYSS - ALAN SILVESTRI

    Now this is a five star album, in fact the last three cues alone are worth that rating. Silvestri at his goosebumping best!!!

    It could do with a remastering / expansion personally speaking.

    US Marshals - Jerry Goldsmith

    One of many disposable thriller scores he did in the 90s. I enjoy most of them occasionally, when I want some brainless fun. This is one such occasion.
    http://www.movie-wave.net | http://facebook.com/moviewave
  19. The style of scoring he used, was much more refined and interesting when used in "Star Trek: Insurrection". He used that style in his rejected score to "Domestic Disturbance", but I've not delved further to find out which one -- the "U.S." Marshals" style of the Trek IX version.

    I would have prefered it over the stuff from some of his last scores.

    They are the same boring action style! The only redeeming action cue from of both scores is the fabulous "The Front Gate" from US Marshals.

    I don't think both U.S. Marshals' action music is boring. Sure it's not his greatest work and I don't listen to it a lot, but when I compare it with today's composers action music in film, it's a friggin' masterpiece. You know the pounding rhythms Jerry wrote for this one, the new guys can only dream of. It has one theme used over and over, but boy is it a cool one!

    And Insurrection is a fine score.

    Thank you for this one Peter. I love Jones very much. Very moving themes and instrumentation. I thought of Aegis a couple of times. Although this one is much sweeter than Aegis.
  23. THE PROMISE - KLAUS BADELT

    It's really something beautiful, more than the crap film deserves.

    But the album is sequenced all wrong. It ends not nearly as good as it begins.

    Glad you guys like it!

    Justin, yep, The mighty is mighty good. I knew that theme already, but it certainly didn't hurt to listen to it again. smile

    Bregje, I love Jones too. He has such a unique sound, and his themes are so sweeping he even challenges John Barry in being the king of sweepingness.

    Very impressive.

    Not sure about the film though. According to the poster the First World War featured "infrequent moderate battle violence".

    1998 was a fantastic year for Jones, he sure was on a roll at the time. The Mighty, Merlin and Dark City, all of them holding truly stunning music. Dark City is probably my favourite of those, for the sole reason that it features one of the most brilliant finale pieces I've ever heard in film, such a wonderful ending both visually and musically, my heart always skips a beat during that sequence.

    I read some very negative things about the film; i.e. that if you don't jizz over the idea of horses, or actual horses themselves, it's not for you.

    Nah... it's pretty basic and uninspired even for Goldsmith.

    I've heard some pretty bad ass action music since Goldsmith's death that complete obliterates most of the action material Goldsmith wrote in his later years.

    Not really. It does have some highlights... mainly the more tender/romantic moments - "New Sight" is the scores highlight - but from an action stand point it's pretty dull and again uninspired. It's just pounds away at you with endless references to that awful US Marshals action motif. Almost as irritating as Horner's four-note danger motif.

    Actually, the issue some audiences are having is that the entire film is a throw back to the Golden Age. Very old fashioned, heart on its sleeve, classic filming techniques. If this was made in the 50's then John Ford would have made it!
