Timeline Jerry Goldsmith
I've always thought of this as a sequel score to The 13th Warrior. Doesn't have as strong a theme as that score, but the action material is just as enjoyable to my ears. Even the 'synth farts' are pleasing to my ears. I love this score. -

THE POSTMAN - JAMES NEWTON HOWARD
Now this is good old James in his most inspired mode. The 90s were just his best period. FACT!
Love it, great score! Not a fan of the songs on the cd though.
I think I got through them only once.

I'd love to hear what you think of the symphony. it's a joy to be talking about something other than Tyler, Zimmer, Horner.
I hate to tell you this, but I wasn't a big fan of it. I was excited to hear it, because I really like everything of RVW's that I've ever heard. There are moments of this I really liked (the huge climaxes in the first movement, the lovely strings toward the beginning of the 2nd mvt), but overall the symphony was too unsettling for my tastes. The symphony is great at projecting an air of dark mystery, and grand consequence, but I prefer his Rhapsody on a Theme of Thomas Tallis, or The Lark Ascending (which I discovered thanks to you), or his take on Greensleeves, or three other pieces I'm familiar with, though not by name. Still, I'm glad to have heard it. My familiarity with his body of work has just been greatly expanded. And if I ever got a chance to hear this performed live, I would take it. I think it would be really amazing live.
I always appreciate honesty Christopher
Yes it is a very dark work and I also know it isn't to everyones taste but I'm pleased you gave it a listen. I still recommend giving the actual ( rerecorded ) film score a listen, it's quite a different experience and even ends on a possitive theme ( which I believe was forced on the film makers to have a message of hope after such a downbeat ending ).
p.s. I'm pleased to have been instrumental in you discovering some of RVW's great works.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

One of my all-time favourite animation scores. Very dramatic and mature, while retaining the adventurous and playful nature in other cues. Some beautiful themes there too.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

This is the JNH I love, superb score! I know everyone loves The Egg Travels ( me too ) but possibly my favourite track is Breakout, from about a minute onwards it's that poignant and rapturous build up just sends tingles down my spine. beautiful.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

NP : LE DEMON DE L'HIMALAYA - Arthur Honegger
In the form of two symphonic movements adapted from his score, fine music it is too, disquieting and even minimalistic and with that lovely mysterioso sound I like so much. The finale includes Ondes Martenot and choir. I guess this sort of counts as amongst the earliest film music I have.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

"Surrender" by k.d. lang and "Blaze of Glory" by Bon Jovi.
I also have a soft spot for Sting's "It's Probably Me" from Lethal Weapon 3, "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" from South Park: The Movie, "America" from Team America: World Police, "Danger Zone" from Top Gun and the Finding Home End Title song by Holly Conlan.

Now there's an interesting line of thought. "Town Without Pity" by Tiomkin (from the film of the same name) is a brilliant song, particularly the cover by Eddi Reader. I love some of the Barry/Bond songs, particularly "Diamonds Are Forever" and "We Have All the Time in the World". I won't list all the Randy Newman songs I think are great, since I think they're all great. Clearly this is a topic that I need to spend some enjoyable time thinking about. -

Dammit... I forgot two. "A View To A Kill" by Duran Duran and "Back In Time" by Huey Lewis and the News. Man, "Power of Love" is so good, too.

I really like Kiss Me, Kill Me, Thrill Me. Live and Let Die is a bizzare tune (I hate the original version of it soooooo much so I always turn to Gn'R's remake) Moon River I can only take as an instrumental. I adore Diana Krall's version of The Look Of Love.
