  1. Taking a break from Spider Man, I just finished Horner's Beyond Borders. What a lovely, eclectic score that was. I like the Chechnya section the most for obvious reasons.
  2. EPICS - ERICH KUNZEL COND. CINCINNATI POPS ORCHESTRA

    While I sometimes prefer the original version (Gladiator for instance) this is a fine compilation that puts a different spin on the timeless (or maybe not quite) classics from before and after I got into film music. I prefer other Kunzel releases such as 'The Big Picture' or 'The Great Fantasy Adventure Album', but listening to this doesn't mean I'm wasting my time. cool

    For me it is the last truly excellent one he has done, but The Four Feathers comes close to that quality.

    Along with Enemy at the Gates. I was relistening this one the other day and has I love it (yes, Danger Motif™ included).

  4. Nah, can't enjoy that one, except for that opening 15 minute monster.

    Erik Woods did a great suite and I'll stick to that. punk

  5. NP: The Divide - Jean-Pierre Taïeb

    There's a definite feel of John Murphy's Sunshine in this one, especially in tracks such as "One Way To Life".

    Seriously? That was 12 years ago. He's written plenty of great ones since...

    "Fire and Fury" from Starcraft II is quite possibly the worst temp track rip-off I've ever heard. Every time I listen to it when it randomly comes up in my shuffling, I forget what it is and think I am listening to Transformers. The first 90 seconds are almost a bar-for-bar copy of the middle section of "Arrival to Earth".
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    Hehe, I have the exact same reaction. But I don't think think this is a temp track thing, I just don't see this possible in video games.

    Well we all have our Horner favourites, let's just say mine are during the 80s and 90s, and plenty of them.

    N.P. HANS ZIMMER - Dark Knight Rises


    The trailer music of the fourth trailer is a combination of parts from track 3. Gotham's Reckoning and Bane's material from track 13. Imagine The Fire. Glad i found this.

    Also, the more i listen to the score, the more themes and usage of them i discover, the more i find myself understanding what Zimmer did, and appreciating it. Some passages are truly massive and i imagine them in combination with Nolan's imaginative camerawork and breathtaking visuals, the end-result must be nothing short of stunning.


    The Catwoman theme is "Mind If I Cut In?"


    The piano thingy?
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  9. The tambourine, the piano motif and the string motif.

    The tambourine and the ascending motif return in Nothing Out There as a sort of harbinger or something.

    In fact:

    Hans Zimmer - The Dark Knight Rises

    When I get into the details of the more delicate music (among others, Nothing Out There) there is more than a bit of intelligence to what is mostly a throwback to early days of Zimmer's music (Black Rain, Backdraft, Crimson Tide, a bit of The Fan in On Thin Ice). Mind If I Cut In may be just one of my personally favourite tracks from Hans, so yeah, I like it quite a lot.

    Gotham's Reckoning has a theme quite similar to one of Lord of the Rings theme, repeated in Imagine the Fire.

    NP : THE QUILLER MEMORANDUM - John Barry



    A very creepy score for 1960's cold war thriller set in Berlin starring Harrison Ford. I like it.

  10. Back to Spider Man, I've been playing "I Can't See You Anymore" more or less non-stop. Poignant.

    NP: Jason and the Argonauts (TV) - Simon Boswell

    Flipping through my collection this morning I found this obscure score. Forgot I owned it. Thought I should play it at least once. shocked Holy moly! What a score! Huge themes, mammoth action cues, gorgeous love theme! Highly recommended!

    Buy it HERE!

    Whaaaaa ...... cheesy dizzy

    Just got STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE in the mailbox and decided to start things of with disc 3. Quite interesting to hear these alternates. It's like a perfectly fine sequenced album in itself. I'll listen to disc 2 another day, and keep the full score for last. Anyway, what a glorious package this has turned out to be. The booklet is extensive and must be a great read on a rainy day. Glad I didn't skip this. beer

  12. Very true!

    The rough takes and synthesizer only recordings are tremendous fun. Very cool to hear the main title synth backing without the rest of the mix. cool

    THELMA & LOUISE - HANS ZIMMER

    A different beast, but such a lovely creature, this very melodic Zimmer. Those guitars are just perfect for one of my favourite movies, a real Ridley Scott classic. The score release was long overdue, too long.

  13. Giving THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN a proper listen for the first time. I'd heard the first half but hadn't listened to the rest yet. "Metamorphosis" is very impressive.
  14. Hans Zimmer - Frost/Nixon

    I really like this one. One of the best Zimmer works since Da Vinci Code. Of course, it's way better in the movie than DVC is.

    So glad you didn't! beer
    And the extensive booklet is rich with informative tidbits (almost worth placing in hotel drawers*).

    Yeah, brilliant score and one that could do with a deluxe rerelease.
