Since I've just climbed into bed, I fancy something a little softer.
NP: MARCH OF THE PENGUINS - ALEX WURMAN
God knows why this jumped out at me but I'm glad to have given it a spin. I've not listened to it since buying the CD but it now sounds like a completely different score to what I remember. It's lovely, subtle and warm (despite the film's setting). I like it. -

No he doesn't. He has his Bourne scores which about as close to Bond as you can get.

Hm. I don't think those Bourne scores would work well in a Bond film at all, at least not in the films I'm thinking of. Maybe in some of the more recent Bond films (which were trying really hard to be Bourne films). When I was thinking of a Powell Bond score I was think of loads of blaring brass and sixties swagger. I don't suppose such a score would ever see the light of day, now, though. -

NP: Vertical Limit - James Newton Howard
I used to consider this an example of a score that starts very strong but plummets to boredom towards the end of the album. But over the past few months my opinions has changed. It is a very strong thematic work by Howard, and it entertains from its fantastic opening cues all the way to the more intense later tracks. Never a dull moment!
The absence of an end title suite or something that gives listeners a better sense of finale is missed here, though. -

Listen to Agent Cody Banks. I'd rather hear another United 93 or something more dramatic over another Bond rehash.

Average to very good. Nothing original, but the 'very good' bits are a lot of fun. The Puss Suite is a great track, though slightly ruined by the annoying 'olay!' chant. -

Don't havew to tell me about it. I can name a bunch of excellent rejected scores. In fact, now I'm off to Upcoming Scores to mention a rumor...The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -

THE CORE - CHRISTOPHER YOUNG
I honestly don't get what is so great about it. 75 % of the tracks are just very uninteresting to my ears. I look at the review that my brother wrote and I just don't understand what he's raving on about, and what others hear in it. It has some okay moments, but like I said, most stuff on this two disc release doesn't do squat for me. It just fails to give me a good musical time.
And I've watched 'Star Wars: A New Hope' just before, which did put me in the right mood for some good music, if you know what I mean."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. -

Very strong score with wonderful themes, full of magic. Serious contender for score of the year and easily his best work since Lord of the Rings. -

The Intrada version. I quite like it, but it's certainly not as strong as the original album. -

I've said it before but there is something wrong not having "The Construction" opening the Intrada album.

The Construction is the perfect choice for opening the original Varese EP of Explorers for sure.
After decades of waiting for the complete score I'm more than happy to have the this full score and I've even made a truncated 50 minute album which is perfect for me. Love this score!!!
NP: Gremlins - Jerry Goldsmith
Love this score just as much!
PS Great review of Explorers James!

Both Explorers and Gremlins are two of my favourite releases from 2011. They're both from a period in Goldsmith's career where he could do little wrong, and certainly my favourite Goldsmith Era. Full of Goldsmith magic!

Some of my favourite ever film scores are from Jerry in the 80s, and most of the others are just plain fun, the ones where I just smile while listening. His style of writing sure made it fun in the films itself, as well as on the albums he put together so well. I think he was at his creative peak and I doubt we will ever hear such mastery again by the new batch of composers."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.
