    NP: BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (Wojciech Kilar)

    Since everyone else was playing it, I had to give it another go too.

    I've always liked the score (ever since I bought the soundtrack in the mid 90's), and I think the film is the best Dracula version out there, but there are bits and pieces -- the minimalist "hunt" cues, for example -- that grate a bit.

    Not really. It still goes on in stuff like PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, TRANSFORMERS etc. but it's not as omni-present as it used to be. Zimmer himself has mostly moved on; the trend of the day now is various 'ostinato'-based things. John Powell's "Bourne riff" really redefined mainstream action scoring, just as Zimmer did with the power anthem back in the days of BLACK RAIN etc.

    NP: EAST-WEST (Patrick Doyle)

    Going through my Doyles now. This is a fullblooded score with some virtuoso piano playing.

    This is a good album, maybe my second favourite in the series after the sumptous PRISONER OF AZKABAN.

    Is that the score that includes "Bim Badda Boom" or whatever it's called?

    Bim Bam Smash? Yes! BRILLIANT track.

    even if it does include a riff very similar to cheesy dance hit No Limit by 2 Unlimited cheesy

    Yup, that's it. Love that track. I don't have any of these soundtracks, amazingly, but know the scores fairly well from having seen the movies a number of times.

    Blimey, I only just noticed that "The Train" contains Williams's "Battle of the Heroes". Which came first?

    Yup... but Conrad Pope was an orchestrator for Horner on Legend... coincidence?

    Having said that, I saw a man earlier who was wearing a coat very similar to one my father used to wear. I asked him where he bought it, he said it was from a shop in South Shields called R.G. Jones Clothing. When I got home, I thought I'd Google the shop, and lo and behold, there was a picture of the proprietor (Andy Jones - R.G.'s grandson) with a celebrity guest. I thought - I know that face. Sure enough, it was Conrad Pope. And guess what coat he was modelling - that's right, it's the same one as my father's and this mystery man I met earlier! I thought nothing more would come of this, but on my way to the greengrocer's this evening I saw the very same man - he was out walking his dog. I pulled the car over to say hello, and ask if he was still enjoying the coat. He said he was, but there was an irritating lump in the lining. We decided to investigate and it turned out to be a sheet of manuscript paper. We managed to ease it out of the lining and couldn't quite believe it, but it was the full orchestral score for "The Train" from The Legend of Zorro! Pope must have accidentally left it in there when he was modelling the coat! My new friend said "You know what, I always thought this sounded like "Battle of the Heroes" - wasn't that also orchestrated by Conrad Pope?" I said it was, but I didn't believe in coincidence.

    True story!
