    Ok my dear I will then. This score is connected with a difficult time of my life, my father's illness (thank God this is over). Science and religion was my hope back then. It helped me cope. That's why I like this it and it always picks me up.

  1. It's weird and compelling how certain scores become personal to us, isn't it? smile

    It's an easy way to sort the men from the boys, the ondes.
  3. In that case, there have only been 4 men in film music history! (Jarre, Bernstein, Honegger and Ibert. Oh, and that Cusson dude.)

    Oh. You didn't really have to. sad

    It is funny how we enjoy things we associate with ill times (although if that thing has helped us through tough times, I suppose it will forever remain a comfort).

    Don't forget Howard Shore. Don't ever forget Howard Shore!
  4. Where did he... oh right, ED WOOD! (Which I've never heard actually. Not seen, either.)

    Burton's best film IMO. Yeah, fine score too, obviously a homage to the time and subject.

    Hugo also features subtle usage of ondes (but no theremin).

    The Kingdom Danny Elfman

    This is a score that's probably not very easy to like for most, but it certainly works for me for some reason.

    It's got that whole post-rock vibe (Sigur Ros/Mogwai/Explosions in the Sky) which is hard to dislike. I think it's severely underrated because of that. Most film score fans don't seem to get that connection. The director, Peter Berg, loves that sound.
    I am extremely serious.

    I'm not really familiar with any of those bands, but I know I like the sound. I would class this as a not-FSM-friendly score.

    Most definitely, yes.

  5. NP: Trois Coleurs Rouge (Zbigniew Preisner)

    Stunning music, based around a bolero-ish theme. Just saw the film again. Such a thoughtful storyteller.

    No surprises but so what, this was my first listen and I loved it, can't wait to play it again.

    NP: JUMPER (Chris Tilton)

    Great videogame score, even better than the feature film score, IMO. Never played the game, though, nor do I have any intention to.

    Mel just asked if I was playing BEETLEJUICE, I said 'yes!'

    It's a bit of a stretch but I could sort of see where she was coming from wink

    NP : ROBIN AND MARIAN - John Barry



    This is the original score from Intrada, just brilliant and contains one of my all time favourite themes.

    One of the very best 'awakening' tracks around DAWN IN SHERWOOD

    Madre de Dios! This is GREAT stuff! Fun, exciting, thematic and overall filled with flair and panache (and a lovely Spanish flavour). Now THIS deserves a proper rerecording!


    It's already recorded! Coming soon from Tribute Film Classics...

    NP: Masque Of The Red Death - David Lee

    Mono (as expected, honestly), and sounding much ...well...like you'd expect an early sixties horror flick to sound.
    A lot of incidental music played by a small orchestra with little thematic consistency or much in the line of melody. Very brief flourishes of romantic melody here and there, but overall, this is nothing to write home about.
    The Fire is a great, exciting track.
    But it's still not much.

    Cracker of a film though.

    Much better than the film score, I thought (and the same was true of his Night at the Museum).
  6. NP: It's an Alberto Iglesias day... Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Che, Constant Gardener, Dancer Upstairs, Talk to Her, Bad Education, Carne Tremula, Even the Rain, All About My Mother, Sex and Lucia, Broken Embraces, Volver... and more... some of the best tracks from each.

    Good music to write to. smile Love his chamber orchestral style and how he's used it from film to film.

  7. A good, for what it is, DVD rip of most of the score to "Coming to America" (Nile Rogers).

    No dialogue, some light FX in most tracks, except some. Something to tide me over until a real release.


    Next up, a short boot of "Johnny Mneumonic" (Brad Fiedel). Never heard it before, was curious.
