    I'm spoiled by all these symphonic video game adaptions. Trying to listen to the actual original score to Final Fantasy XIII and finding the synthyness way too synthy.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    I think this score is the closest a Hollywood composer will get to rendering an authentically East Asian sound with his music.
  11. Goldsmith came very close with the Japanese sound in Tora! Tora! Tora! which I deem to be the most Japanese Hollywood score ever written also in a cultural sense. Hans Zimmer's Black Rain gets the Japanese sound very close to the source, closer than the Westernized twist on it that The Last Samurai was.

  14. To honour the victims of the attacks, I listened to (here already yesterday):

    Craig Armstrong - World Trade Center

    A nice, beautiful, thoughtful score with very nice themes. Not one of Armstrong's best works, but nice and respectful enough. Due to time constraints I didn't manage to go with my typical 9/11 listen, which is Saving Private Ryan (Hymn to the Fallen becomes particularly poignant in such a day). I'll wrap the day up with Jerry Goldsmith's theme from The Last Castle in the "September 11, 2001" arrangement. You may think, because of my very next post I'll write, that my time handling is schizophrenic, but it's really not.

    I liked that. Nothing he wrote afterwards was good enough IMO.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  16. NP: Xenosaga - Yasunori Mitsuda

    Listening to a few tracks from this video game score. "The Miracle", "The Resurrection" and "Gnosis" are all excellent.

    the only film ( I think? ) where the WTC played a starring role.

    Fantastic! It's months since this Tadlow recording was released and I'm still loving it just as much! punk

  19. NP: 25th Hour - Terence Blanchard

    The "Finale" to 25th Hour is one of my favourite pieces of film music. One of my favourite pieces of music full-stop. It's a heart-rending piece that always moves me to tears when I listen to it.

    I have not seen the film but I did watch the finale on Youtube to get a sense of what the music plays against in the film. And now I get a bit more of an idea what Blanchard was doing.

  20. It's quite a beautiful sequence in the film, one of my favourite endings to a film in recent years. (Really fine film as well.) It does go a bit over the top in scoring one moment in particular, but that's a bit of a Spike Lee thing.

    So, who can tell me why I feel it's applicable as to why I can post this Bowie album, part of his "Berlin Trilogy" here?


    You were the only one to answer Alan, some of the material was written ( but not used ) for Nicholas Roeg's THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH.

    It is a beautiful sequence. I always wondered what the prominent snare drums that can be heard were for and this final sequence shows the association. I did think that that was a bit OTT.

  23. Yep, that's the bit.

    The thing is, the film uses music like that quite a bit throughout... it's always nice to see a filmmaker trust the music to carry ideas, since it seems to be so unfashionable at times, however in this case it does feel like it gets pushed a bit hard.

    Nice movie and very distinct usage of music as well. As for Blanchard, my favorite score of his to date still remains the beautiful Requiem for Katrina.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  25. I'll have to see this. I really liked his score for Inside Man.
  26. Hans Zimmer - Thelma and Louise

    It's the man's birthday. First I listened to Saving Private Ryan, to keep with the mood of yesterday, but then I played The Dark Knight Rises.

    Thelma and Louise is quite the score. It did achieve enough cult status to be extensively bootlegged later on. I am listening to the Kritzerland release that was sold out in *one* day. I bought it later, because a guy sold it to me in wrapping. So there.

    The atmospheric music reminds me of Cluster One from Pink Floyd's The Division Bell and it's not a rip-off because that album was released 3 years after Ridley Scott's cult movie. Hans wrote a bluesy atmospheric score that goes well with the way Ridley Scott perceives music. There are two parts to it, there is the atmospheric emotional part and the fun bluegrassy/bluesy part which may not be to the liking of many people, because it's quite quirky and sometimes even a bit out of the blue. Both parts turn into a very dramatic action piece, which is Chase/You've Always Been Crazy. It's still a very good score from Zimmer, one of his best early works, I think. That said, I am not a huge fan of Regarding Henry, for example.

    Glad I can own this score.

    NP : A VIEW TO A KILL - John Barry



    An underrated Bond score IMO, a great title song ( though the lyrics are a bit iffy ), superbly moody underscore, a great and very ominous theme for the impending destruction of Silicon Valley plan and a thunderous action music complete with electric guitar. Roger Moore was more like Roger Mortis in his last Bond film but Barry assures us that this is still Bond wink

    Finally, what is the link between David Bowie and this film?

  28. Let me guess, David Bowie was regarded as a candidate for the Walken part?

  30. There is a certain similarity and definitely Zorin's personality would fit Bowie pretty well.
