NP : GHOST STORY - Philippe Sarde
A fantastic score, I just set my turntable up specially so I could play this ( please reissue this on CD someone? ), a very fine traditional sounding horror score.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Haru no Yuki (Snowy Love Fall in Spring) - Taro Iwashiro
I love sad, melancholic music.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Where are you all finding these Japanese scores? I'm only familiar with Yoko Kanno and Joe Hisaishi. -

Considering I didn't think much of Tintin on my first listen, I can't judge you. But this is such a fun score! (When you edit it down a bit and particularly when you hear it in the movie.)
No idea what kind of porn music you've heard though!
I just wish they cut Hendrick's Manifesto and gave us the full World's Worst Parking Valet. I don't understand why tracks such as that first one are put on soundtrack albums. -

The Hollywood Sound John Williams
What I would consider a late evening listen... but I really felt like listening to it this morning. Superb music, performances and recordings.
I want to live in this album. I want to and raise a family in this album and pay for the album's bills. It's that good. -

Indeed. It's amazing what volume can do. Worries shouldn't be wistfully carried away by soothing music; they should be blasted into oblivion by... KRULL. -

I prefer this to the third one, and I like the third one a lot.
The third one is amazing a full-on powerhouse ride. The fourth is weak IMO and the jazzy horny renditions are something I don't like at all.
Ditto. And the film is probably the worst of the bunch.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

James Newton Howard - Snow Falling on Cedars
Beautiful score that works as great on album, as it does in the film. Restrained with a few dramatic explosions. What's fascinating about it is that it agrees with the perhaps Western, but definitely mine, understanding of Japanese culture. Emotions are hidden, as we say in Polish, "under the skin." JNH carefully creates the atmosphere and the emotions come out directly of that atmosphere. A very crafted score, structurally relevant.
The movie itself is beautiful and magical, in huge part thanks to the score. The acting (Max von Sydow, Ethan Hawke, the beautiful Yuki Kudo, as I prefer to spell her name) is impeccable. There is a huge sense of intimacy to it. So is the brilliant cinematography by, as far as I remember, the great Robert Richardson.
The music greatly foreshadows The Village and yes, there is quite a lot of Arvo Part to it.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

I agree with everything you said. Snow Falling on Cedars is in my top 10 scores of all time.
Beautiful, sad, gorgeous, full of emotions, great writing for cello and violin (two of my favorite instruments).
One of James Newton Howard' best scores. -

No offense to Marselus, but he's speaking out of his arse. Ghost Protocol is a very well made action film… and would you expect any less from Brad Bird? -

Shore´s main titles for this score captures in a gorgeous and very touching way the heart of Hugo and the whole film. A very pleasant listen every time!Robinson -

Hmm, not so sure about that. It's a silly film the third one (which is exactly what they're meant to be I suppose), but at least it didn't fall apart so tragically like the second. I enjoy the third one quite a lot actually. -

I think II and III are both terrible but II seems terrible in a more enthusiastic way (it's at least got some memorable visuals) whereas everything about III seems designed as an ego-trip for its star. To me, anyway. -

Vertical Limit - James Newton Howard
This score has a special place in my heart for the following reasons:
- this score is the reason why I'm now a film music fan. It was for the first time I left the cinema humming the theme.
- this score is the reason why I'm now a James Newton Howard fan.
- I like climbing, I like mountains and I think JNH composed a stunning score for the majestic scenery of the Karakorum mountains.
- I like how the score open and close with the main theme. -

You like MOUNTAINS? A man after my own heart
( I don't climb but I love hiking whenever I get the chance, I even had serious well prepared plans to go to K2, me and a friend had planned it for 2002 but that was before 9/11 
).
VERTICAL LIMIT is one of my very favourite JNH scores and what a fantastic theme!On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Anyone one who doesn't like mountains, who isn't awestruck by a mountain, has something wrong with their brain. (Of course, having a bad experience with a mountain counts as something entirely different.) -

I like mountains (I'm from Norway, after all), but I don't like snow. Sadly, they often go hand in hand.I am extremely serious. -

Lord of the Rings: War in the North - Inon Zur
In that video game score kind of way, this is very enjoyable indeed, but doesn't linger in the memory after it's finished.
