JP : TIN TIN - John Williams
Like others here it took a while to get into this one, I think it's one of those scores that's a real 'grower', still nowhere near my recent favourite Williams, WAR HORSE.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I like both equally (I think). Tintin has been one of my most listened to albums in quite some time. -

Finished up:
"Johnny Mneumonic"
By: Brad Fiedel
With only just over 20 minutes on the boot, it was a shame -- the score is actually interesting and enjoyable. It's very much akin, I would say, to some late '80's Goldsmith efforts, with electronics thrown in a very Jerry way. And of a course a little mroe modern sounding.The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -

The Postman - James Newton Howard
One of his best scores from the 90'. I like it more than Waterworld . -

Freedom Song - James Horner, Sweet Honey in the Rock
This really isn't a score per se. It's more a collection of negro spirituals and hymns performed by Sweet Honey in the Rock, with Horner as producer. As such, it's pretty engaging; any project where Horner works with vocals is bound to be good. -

Listening to samples of Carter Burwell's BREAKING DAWN.
Not working for me. There's stronger scores from Burwell that push traditional film music buttons.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Troy (Horner)
I don'r care for the main theme featured in the second track, but otherwise it's a fine score, especially considering that he only had a couple of weeks to do it. So far my favourite track is "Achilles leads the myrmidons". I need to get to know this score better though.

NP: Beastmaster 2: Through The Portal Of Time - Robert Folk
This score features one of my all time favorite main themes! Adventure scores don't come much better than this folks! Splendid music!

Agreed. "Swimming", in particular, which is JNH in one of his greatest modes, the ethereal synth textures. If you like that, you'd love THE SAINT OF FORT WASHINGTON, I think.I am extremely serious. -

Good music to write to. Love his chamber orchestral style and how he's used it from film to film.
Gorgeous...Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

He definitely has a sound, but there's strong diversity in that, and he's really the only one doing what he does in film music. His scores will sound like they came from him.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Between Heaven and Hell - Hugo Friedhofer
One of the finest scores by one of the greatest of film composers. Lush melody combines with arrestingly aggressive action music (I can scarcely believe it was written in the 1950s). -

The Saint Of Fort Washington is a nice and relaxing listen.

Mark Mancina - Speed 2: Cruise Control
Got the La-la Land release since yesterday. A great, exciting and somehow more intelligent twist on the usual Media Ventures sound. A 98-piece orchestra which gets quite a bit of workout. Great themes, very well orchestrated, including a rarity for the style, which are woodwinds. Mark Mancina is a hugely missed talent. While I can imagine that Bad Boys isn't everyone's cup of tea, but this score is just a gem which finally got released and kudos to the label for releasing it two years ago. Yes, late on the bandwagon and I wasn't exactly not aware of the score before, but yeah, it's very goo.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -
