    NP: WAR HORSE (John Williams)

    Can't stop listening, but I should really go to bed now.

    Tuck everlasting (William Ross)

    Intimate little score. None of the themes really grab me. Only thing I notice is that one of them is a rip-off of Thomas Newman's famous Horse whisperer theme.

    I normally like Ross though. Perhaps this album will get to me after more listens.

    Yugo Kanno - Best Selection

    A selection of my favorite cues I made including Samurai High School, Shaolin Girl, Birdy the Mighty: Decode, Innocent Love, Hataraki Man, Hotaru No Hikari, Fumo Chitai, Sapuri

    If you have no idea who Yugo Kanno is listen to this:

    He is a japanese composer for anime and tv drama and his style is like many japanese composers: emotional, melodic, thematic music.


    Very nice pieces. Enjoying them now.

    His name annoys me a bit though. Considering there's a much more famous composer called Yoko Kanno, his name is a bit like someone being called Bennio Morricone or Danny Gelfman. Will have to get used to it.

    LOUD is not nearly enough for such a score. punk

    BATMAN FOREVER - ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL

    Nor for this one for that matter. This is balls to the wall gothic scoring Goldenthal style. The complete score may be too much for me, but there's no denying that is some HUGE orchestral writing going on here, coupled with AWESOME themes, and that alone should be enough to make all your worldly troubles go away.

    I'd still prefer a Batman & Robin release at some point, but it doesn't have to be complete, a solid hour of highlights is just my thing. smile

    NP: WAR HORSE (John Williams)

    F-I-N-A-L-L-Y! The album waited for me when I got back yesterday, and even though I had heard the score in the movie by then, it's still bloody fantastic! THIS is the Williams that made me fall in love with him in the first place - Ralph Vaughan Williams-isms, some Copland, some scherzo-ish stuff for the horse's riding antics and some nice suspense writing. It basically beats TINTIN to a pulp!

    I am not too keen on either Williams scores: they remind me more of his nineties output rather than his seventies stuff.

    But yes, the recordings of his scores are getting more and more muffled. sad

    It's a step up from Super 8 though.
  12. Koji Endo - Juu-san no shikasu

    Thirteen Assassins is Takashi Miike's (famous for his horror movies of which I haven't seen any) reportedly first foray into the jidaigeki (literally period drama; a general term for pre-Meiji era samurai epics) genre with an interesting Koji Endo score.

    The album is very meditative, featuring strings (section and solo), a lot of percussion (mostly taiko). The only jarring moment is some almost RCP-like electronica in track 3 (literally Three, the track titles are simply Japanese for numbers from one to thirteen. Miya once remarked, asked about the track titles, that they are written in old kanji; an interesting aspect is that the word 4 is spelt as "shi"; in Japanese it's the unlucky number and means "death", too). Nice and interesting score.

    Didn't know it, thanks! Sounds great and very Jones-y indeed. cheesy

    One of the man's most inspired / original scores for a true sci-fi classic (IMHO).

    'Good to Go' is one hell of an action cue!

  18. [big]Miklos Rozsa - Ben Hur[/big]

    I intend to listen to the full score today. I actually never did (I did know the score before though) since I bought it two years ago.

    Well, it, along with El Cid, is Rozsa's masterpiece, but to be honest I rarely listen to the man, since I need to be in the mood for this kind of epic, but the mood has appeared recently. I love this score when I'm in that mood. Great orchestral writing, amazing use of themes, what else can be said?

    From Golden Age composers I do have a preference to Bernard Herrmann and Alfred Newman and maybe in fact I'll give The Egyptian a spin in some time (I own the FSM release, so I didn't care for the Varese).

    Out of epic scores I own I plan on listening to The Egyptian and the only Lord of the Rings score I haven't listened to recently - Return of the King (listening to the original Reprise Records releases). And I'll see what else I have. I did listen to Conan the Barbarian already, as you know, what I didn't say was that I listened to the re-recording that I got, as you know, thanks to Martijn smile

    Still, it's funny the 'big' coding is visible, as Rozsa's score is definitely big in the literal sense of the word.

  22. Yeah, one of the hugest ever written. But the quality of the writing is just plain amazing.

    You better be right about the movie or else i'll be sitting through a two-hour Tom Cruise bukkake because of you. About the score i already established for myself that i don't like it but i was thinking of watching the movie.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    You may change your mind about the score once you see the film. Also, the album works best at 40 minutes. It's definitely more 'stylised' than the previous score, and that really comes through in the film.

    Brad Bird is an excellent director of action.

    Talking about the full score, I can't get over the fact that the sound quality totally hampers my enjoyment of it. I also seem to prefer El Cid's majesty over Ben-Hur, I find it a lot more interesting, both in the thematic department and general underscore.

    The Vocalion release of Ben-Hur (thanks Martijn smile ) is the only one I need, clocking in at 46 minutes. Superb re-recording too.

  26. Howard Shore - The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

    Great as the whole trilogy is. Tracks like Steward of the Gondor or Twilight and Shadows are just brilliant with the latter belonging to the trilogy highlights for me. Minas Morgul has one of my favourite arrangements of the Sauron ostinato.

    Shelob's Lair features some of the most challenging and exciting music I've heard in film music. Completely atonal, it's realy brilliant.

    Conan the Barbarian (Re-recording)

    Some tracks are fantastic, but others pale in comparison to the OST. The leaving/The search from the OST has always been in my top3 of favourite cues of all time. The re-recording just makes a mess of it. Wifeing and Theology/Civilization aren't too fantastic either, compared to the originals

    I find it weird how Poledouris was unsatisfied with the orchestra, considering how close the OST is to perfection to my ears.

    Peter smile
  28. It was the second Conan film, where the orchestra oerformed poorly, even playing incorrect notes.
    I don't recall anything about the first score being unsatisfactory.
