    Now Voyager - The Classic Film Scores of Max Steiner (RCA Red Seal) Charles Gerhardt conducting the National Philharmonic Orchestra. Outstanding! The greatest anthology of film music ever put together. It's the backbone of my collection.

    Yeah, it sucks how that film never got a sequel. It's probably the superhero film I've ever seen.

    I meant to say it's the BEST superhero film I've ever seen.
  4. NP: The Truman Show (Dallwitz, Glass, Kilar, Chopin)

    Quite a blend of things. But it does tell that story perfectly. Saw the film again the other night. Pretty close to perfect.

    He had written two more films; it was proposed as a trilogy.

    Information found via and internet search suggests that the third film from his company Night Chronicles (the first has been "Devil" and the second is in developement) will re-use ideas from "Unbreakable 2", since U2 doesn't appear to be happening anytime soon.

    Most likely the only time where I knew who was scoring a film before anyone else (outside of the film), I was told by David Puttnam personally that Morricone was confirmed on that day. dizzy

    Maybe you even knew before Morricone himself?!

    Reading Jon Burlingame's excellent book 'The Music of James Bond' meant that I have hunted out the early Bond score to listen to. Then I realised that I had never put the expanded CDs into chronological order or split up the larger extra tracks that became available when the expanded versions were released.

    These longer tracks were too long to really enjoy and now that I have split them up and re-ordered them some of the titles seems refreshingly new.


    Ah... I wish someone could do something like that for me. (Better still, I wish the album producers had done it.) I don't mind You Only Live Twice or Diamonds, but Thunderball's pretty much unlistenable as far as I'm concerned without that (and since I haven't done it, I never listen to it.)


    Missing out on THIS? spin '007' was never better! wink cool

    Ultimo - L'occhio del falco - Ennio Morricone

    Hooray, a new score by the Maestro. At last. (This is actually the fourth in the Ultimo series - the first three were scored jointly by Morricone with his son, but this one's solo.) It's fairly typical Morricone crime thriller music, no bad thing in my opinion. Presumably some of it is carried over from the earlier scores in the series, but I'm probably not familiar enough with them to have noticed.

    Going through the Oscar scores, one at a time. The Marianelli is the only one I hadn't fully heard. Haven't seen any of the films yet either but they're all on my radar (except again, Anna Karenina, which doesn't appeal to me.)

    Just finished: Anna Karenina - Dario Marianelli

    It was okay. The first half is mostly classically-inspired waltzes but if that's what I wanted to hear, I'd go for the real thing. The second half is more conventional underscore and while reasonably well-written, didn't leave a gigantic impression.

    Now working on:

    Argo - Alexandre Desplat

    Not a fan of ethnic scores but I like some of the action cues like "Scent of Death" and "Cleared Iranian Airspace" is really fantastic. Like "Zero Dark Thirty", I bet I could make a great suite out of this.

    Nana - Ennio Morricone

    This is a relatively obscure gem from 1999, highlighted by a stunner of a main theme (here it is).

    Lincoln - John Williams

    Fantastic. It really grows on you with repeated listens, with all of those amazing themes. And naturally with Williams, the craftsmanship is off the charts.

    I find it goosebump-inducingly beautiful. But different strokes and all that.

    I'm still listening to it. Most tracks blend together but I'm finding it more effective if I start with "Tiger Vision" and play to the end. "God Storm" is an especially amazing track.
  19. The "God Storm"-"I'm Ready Now" combo is especially powerful. It's heartbreaking in the context of the film.
  20. NP: A shuffle over a playlist of scores for Ang Lee films, including a few by Mychael Danna (Ride with the Devil, Ice Storm, 'Chosen', Life of Pi), a Desplat (Lust Caution), an Elfman (Hulk), a Tan Dun (Crouching Tiger), a Doyle (Sense and Sensibility) and a Santaolalla (Brokeback Mountain).

    The man isn't a slave to any musical tradition, that's for sure. And it's all a pretty canny pick for the films involved. I haven't seen the Taiwanese films or Taking Woodstock, but he does look like the director who never gets it wrong.

    I want to see the film. I get the impression that context in this case is especially important.

    It's the crown jewel of my DVD collection.
    Seriously, I do have the DVD, and of course the film is hilarious. I like these low-budget sicence fiction flicks that emerged following the success of Star Wars. The Italian production "L'Humanoide" is the best of them all.

    This expanded version is so much more enjoyable than the original release.
