NP: The Croods - Alan Silvestri
Zero expectations whatsoever. I'm surprised by how much I actually enjoy this. It's a lot of fun. It's a hybrid of his Richie Rich, Roger Rabbit and The Abyss scores. And there are proper themes. At the end of the album Silvestri's presents not one but TWO concert suites of his main themes.
It's 2013. I thought this practice was dead. Bravo Mr. Silvestri. And they are gorgeous themes!
-Erik-
I really enjoyed those two concert suites at the end. In fact, I'm not sure there's much of a need to have the rest of the album, which was a bit too bitty for me. -

Die Hard Whatever, Fuck You It's Winter Movie Release Marco Beltrami
An excellent example of a decent modern action score, while expertly channeling some of Kamen's motifs from the previous films (even a little 'cameo' from one of the bad guy motifs from Die Hard 2 I believe? That's certainly showing my film music geekinees...
)
I think this is brilliant. -

Ramin Djawadi - Medal of Honor
Not just his best work, but one of the very best RCP scores of recent years. While yes, it does sound like Black Hawk Down for Dummies, I really enjoy it's atmosphere and I think the theme is really corking (especially as heard in the third track). Haven't listened to it for ages, but I did feel like it for a while.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

NP: Olympus Has Fallen - Trevor Morris
Something must be wrong with me. This is addictive and very enjoyable. While this score is rooted heavily in the MV/RC style of composing ("orchestral" score with heavy electronics, guitars and drums) the biggest difference is that you can tell that this was performed by a massive symphony orchestra. No synth orchestra laid over the top to drown out that organic sound. If all MV/RC scores were recorded and produced THIS way then I'm sure the ones panned to death by critics (me included) would be a lot less grating!
Props to recording engineer extraordinaire Peter Fuchs in Slovakia! Big, BIG sound! The brass blasts sound AMAZING!

i also listend to the whole album and i think it's a very good mix of orchestra and synths. for me it is more a brian tyler style than a rcp style. i like trevors more orchestral rhythmic action music. it has lots of energy. also the heavy synthetic suspense music sounds not bad when you listen to the album as a whole. his themes are maybe simple, but very effective and heroic and the more emotional moments have a little tudors feeling. a very nice and entertaining action score by trevor. i hope they will show the movie also in german cinemas. i would love to hear this score in "action" as soon as possible. -

JOE HISAISHI - Tokyo Kazuko (2013)
This is nice, small-scale and subtle, short in duration and kinda monothematic though, but if you like Hisaishi's style you'll probably be fond of this gentle piano-orchestral score.
I guess you meant "Tokyo Kazoku (Tokyo Family)"? Kazuko is a girl's name...

NP: The Bible - Zimmer/Balfe
This album artwork has one of the worst subtitles I've ever seen. Instead of something simple like "Original television score composed by Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe" we have the breathlessness-inducing mouthful...
"THE OFFICIAL SCORE SOUNDTRACK TO THE EPIC MINI SERIES COMPOSED BY HANS ZIMMER AND LORNE BALFE AND FEATURING LISA GERRARD".

Gerrard is also involved in Klaus Schultze's recently released album "Shadowlands". In this track for example start at 14 minutes.

The stunning original MCA Records release. One of the finest soundtrack albums ever produced and one of the best recorded film scores of all time! It's also helps that the music is gobsmackingly brilliant as well!

I have just returned from an expedition to uncharted territories. After all the clamouring Erik did hereabouts I rummaged through cardboards in the uttermost remote corners of my parents' attic. Finally I rediscovered the original CD release of John Williams’ E.T. – The Extra-Terrestrial. It must be nearly ten years since I last had this CD in hands let alone listened to it. No it is being restored to my collection.
What I did not find was the original release of JAWS. This is peculiar since I have all my old John Williams CDs: the Silva Raiders release, the Alhambra Close Encounters release and the original Polydor CD releases of the STAR WARS Trilogy. I probably gave JAWS away to someone.
VolkerBach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

Elegant, beautiful score for what I assume is a supernatural thriller. Easily the best score of the year so far. -

Haven't heard Riddle yet but it's going to take something truly exceptional to dethrone Escape From Tomorrow.
