    That's okay! We'll just keep on talking about Skyfall until it does.

  5. I heard Adele's Bond song for the first time today (twice actually, once in the "to" car journey and again during the "from" journey to visit Anne's mum).

    I thought it was god-awful, both as a song and as a Bond song. I would be pleased if I never heard it again.

    NP: INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (Elliot Goldenthal)

    Wild stuff, but when he talked about how the music reflects different time periods (when he was in Krakow), the whole score came into a different light to me.
    I am extremely serious.

    Skyfall is a pretty good score, isn't it? Oh wait, did I do that wrong?

    SKYFALL - Thomas Newman

    First listen. Let's see if this is the first bond score I will actually like. I doubt it.


    You don't like any Bond scores? Not even Eric Serra's GOLDENEYE?? shocked shocked


    Not even that one smile

    Granted, I've not heard many of them outside of their films, but I've not been too impressed with any of them. I enjoy the bond theme well enough, but all the stuff besides that usually wears me out by the end. I know you love OHMSS, and I watched that the other day (for the first time!), and it was full of the famous bond thematic material, which was good.

    Slightly off topic, in viewing some older Bond films for the first time, I've noticed the huge difference between how films used to be scored and how they are now. For instance, in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE there's this scene where Sean Connery wanders around his hotel room apparently scoping it out (?), and while he wanders around looking at walls and lights and things (Lazenby has a very similar scene in OHMSS - apparently the first order of business when a spy gets a hotel room is to look behind all the pictures and push random spots on the walls) the bond theme is blaring! It's great! Usually these days 007 has to be doing something cool to get his theme played, but not Connery. All he had to do was walk around in a standard hotel room. smile

    Bond is one of the few film franchises I actually haven't explored, so that's probably why. That and Indiana Jones.

    I absolutely agree with you. Very simplistic orchestration, childish arrangements and the cheesy female backup vocals at the refrain are laughable. The score is soooooo much better.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    ALEXANDRE DESPLAT - Argo

    Gets better with time. If you like Middle-eastern sounding, atmospheric scores that is smile But it's surely a very relaxing background listen. Not drawing any attention to it.

    Probably yeah. It's more the hype and omnipresence that gets to me, than the actual value judgements. For the record, I like the score moderately and look forward to seeing the film (not as a Bond fan, which I'm not, but as a Mendes appreciator).

    Cool. I probably won't be able to see it until it comes out on BluRay. And as a non Mendes fan, I'll see it as a Bond fan and a Daniel Craig appreciator.
  21. Pascal Gaigne - Le cou de la girafe (The Giraffe's Neck)

    A beautiful heartfelt work by a composer working mostly in Spain. I discovered it long time ago, mostly thanks to the exquisite main theme, a very playful minimalistic melody that plays through the whole score. Looking for works that explore a child's perspective in the world (the movie features a 9 year old girl pushing her grandfather to find a grandmother she never met and uncovering a family secret while at that, sadly I haven't seen it and it doesn't seem to be available anywhere). Sense of delicate wisdom, heartfelt restrained emotions, a sense of sincere simplicity, these are the features of this largely unknown work.

    I certainly do not miss Jesper Kyd in this score. Lorne did a good job.

    Same here! I never liked Kyd's scores for this franchise (not a big fan of the rest of his work either to be frank).

    A fun little heist-jazz type score, something I'm a bit of a sucker for. It's all about the double bass. cool

    Quantum of Solace David Arnold

    Perhaps my favourite Bond score. (Though since I don't really listen to anything pre-Tomorrow Never Dies, save for The Living Daylights once every two years or so, it seems a might unfair to say it's my favourite of all the Bond scores - simply because I don't listen to all of them!)

    Two things strike me as ironic about that post; that a Zimmer reference is considered a break from current discussions; and that you're complaining about a repeated topic. biggrin

    STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE | danny elfman

    Great score. There's a drive in this one that keeps it going for long. The opening track is one of Elfman's best. Never seen the film/documentary though.
