    NP: BRAVEHEART (James Horner)

    Timeless classic!
    I am extremely serious.

    That one is next on my playlist. I consider Braveheart Horner's finest score and is my #7 favorite score of all time! I revisited the film over the weekend as well. A stunning piece of cinema... historical inaccuracies and all. It's a great story that was brilliantly told!

    n.p. Zimmer's Oscar (2011-12) piece, love it.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Well it sounds like inception (the short ostinati below) crossed with backdraft on major scale-renditions, i thought it was pretty good although it sounded a bit 90's (not necessarily a bad thing imo). It was naive and American to my ears, pretty in the Oscars territory. The Junkie Xl, Giorgio Moroder - and - others - renditions though are plain horrible.

    It's hilariously inaccurate and OTT, still, I do enjoy the film and though Horner's score isn't his best it IS up there.

    Here's a score that will probably never leave my top 10 of all time...

    NP: CutThroat Island - John Debney

    F________________k yeah!

    This is on my personal top 3 scores of all time list!

    -Erik-


    I still remember the first time I listened it and how amazed (to say the least) I was after the (....amazing) end credits cue had finished. Sometimes I' d like to erase a score from my brain just to enjoy it again for the first time. With Cutthroat Island, I would have no doubt about it.

    A must have, the Prometheus complete edition of Debney's music is one of my most beloved cd's. Adventure music can't get any better than this.

    The Fall of the Roman Empire - Dimitri Tiomkin

    Not a score for the faint of heart (or indeed for the audiophile).

    Today, this sort of thing seems as laughable as Harald Faltermeyer stuff. It's amazing to think that music like this was actually once written for films. I wonder which of today's scores will prompt such reactions in future. On Speed, I stare in disbelief at the part of the album booklet which lists 100-ish orchestral players - the whole thing sounds like it was written and recorded by a five year old with a cheap keyboard in his bedroom.

  13. Are you listening to the *first* Speed score? It had a 68-piece orchestra. Part two is much better.

    And I think that in years we would stare in disbelief at about half of Brian Tyler's work, really. I am quite a Mancina fan mostly after Twister. And I love Speed 2.

  15. It was a lot of fun to review Speed 2 for my website and I actually bought the score recently, so yeah, I am rather biased biggrin

    I am slightly spaced out right now, and for a moment I read this as R.I.P. Zimmer (years of birth and death) shocked
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    SPEED is a superb score for an action film that redefined the genre. Not ALL the material is equally excellent, but the throbbing main theme propels the kinetic energy of the film even further. Ties it all together.

    Interestingly enough, your complaint sounds like it was written 16 years ago (or when I first read similar complaints). I like the score enough for its first 10 tracks or so. It's not the best score, but it's been hugely influential.

    I like it as well. Very energetic while being so minimalistic at the same time. Quite a shift from all of the serious music that he's been doing prior.

    I agree with that - I remember liking the second one, so that's only added to my disappointment about finding out how bad the first one is (on album, at least - it's been a long time since I saw the fairly enjoyable film and I didn't notice the music in it at all).

    Oh, right. I was wondering whether you meant the rerecording, for which I'd certainly agree with the 'not for the faint of heart' moniker... but the sound quality is sublime!

  26. The Adventures of Tintin - John Williams

    Pretty much the exact opposite of War Horse. I'm really surprised that this is Williams' FIRST animation score. He should do more. The only track that I didn't like was the Bianca Castafiore cue, and I think you all can guess why. Besides that, nice work.
  27. Speaking of War Horse, I don't think any other composer can get away with the sudden burst of emotion like the one that occurs toward the end of "The Death of Topthorn."
  28. Well, maybe James Horner...

    Does it help to know it's your 7th favourite score of all time? uhm Seems a might calculating for something which, for me, is more a matter of the heart.
