Die Hard with a Vengeance Kamen
Was so disappointed when I bought the original album to discover it contained pretty much none of the music I'd loved in the film, This new La La Land release is a treat! -

Maciek Dobrowolski - The Winde
Yes, yes, finally the album is coming out very soon. Now I am listening to the final master.. This is a concept album with Celtic undertones, featuring some of the soloists and crew that worked on Clockwise.
I am lucky to have participated in this beautiful project myself, as an album co-producer and I also wrote the liner notes for the cover. The score will be released digitally and, as far as I understand, we are also producing some CDs of it, but it has to be decided in whcih capacity exactly.
I'm very proud of what Maciek has done with what started as a score for a short English film, but Maciek was so inspired to produce a whole album (actually longer than Clockwise) out of it. Seeing him so inspired, hearing all the tryouts before the project became final, hearing the solo parts (sadly, I couldn't participate in the recording sessions), was very, very rewarding. I know I'm not objective, but this project is something I am very proud of and Maciek did it again. It's wholeheartedly recommended.
We will let you know as soon as we know that the album is available on iTunes.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Superb. I don't think McKenzie has ever written a bad or mediocre score.
Anyway, this out of print album is being re-released digitally through CD Baby and iTunes. If you missed it the first time then I highly recommend you download it right away! You won't be disappointed especially if you love lyrical, warm celtic themes the way I do!

NP: Star Trek - Insurrection - Jerry Goldsmith
Another favorite score. It has action and romance. Can't love it enough. The themes are typical 90s Goldsmith, but it's in my favorite period of Goldsmith (basically after the 60s & 70s). -

Die Hard 3 Michael Kamen
I don't play Kamen half as much as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. That said, this man was an action writer extraordinaire. -

LOVE it! This is my favorite McKenzie score. Give me music like this anytime! Beautiful, thematic (with multiple themes - any one of which would have made a nice score, but having all of these is fantastic!), Irish. I love that score. Anyone who doesn't have it and has ever enjoyed anything McKenzie has written should definitely add this to their collection.

Ouch. I thought it was pretty good! Can you point to the "embarrassing and amateurish" times? I'm curious to see what you hear that I didn't. I've only listened to it once, and not critically at all. -

I've recently played both scores that I won from our anniversary contest (Thanks again, Bregt!!). They are:
AMALIA - Nuno Malo
Really lovely theme. This is my kind of score. I found a lot to enjoy after just one listen and look forward to savoring the depth of this score. For those familiar with it, is MIEL DE NARANJAS in the same league as this?
LES DEUX MONDES - Richard Harvey
I didn't know what to expect from this, it being my first Harvey album. I couldn't have expected this! It's really interesting. Something about it just sets it apart from other scores in the genre to me. Harvey doesn't sound like what I've come to expect from film music these days. It's wonderful! It's compositionally excellent, has some wonderful highlights (that third to last track is seriously awesome), it's exciting, at times beautiful, at times unsettling. In short, it's a great ride.
I think I chose well! Thanks again, Bregt. I'm very happy about these scores. -

Ottman's scores generally lack polish, which becomes especially evident the more ambitious they are. -

Demetris, I don't have a problem with the fact that you have little time for Ottman's music.
You don't connect with it - fair enough.
But you're being a bit disrespectful there mate. -

Why? He just gives his opinion (as passionately undiluted as only a southern European may do
).
The fact that it doesn't coincide with your own assessment doesn't make it disrespectful.
On that note I have never really understood the concept of "respect" with regards to objects.
If the statement had been made against Ottman as a person I could understand it better. Against a creation...well. One likes it, or one doesn't. Nothing to do with (dis)respect in my opinion.

NP: my own High Seas playlist
Oh! EXCELLENT stuff! ASsorted highlights from Kunzel's seafaring film composition compilation, Land's work on Monkey Island, Zimmer and Badelt's Pirates Of The Caribbean, Poteyenko's Sea Dogs, The Chieftains' Treasure Island, Debnney's Cutthroat Island and so much more.
A veritable wave of outstanding compositions!
It seems that sailing and sea adventures really bring out the best in some composers, which is what prompted me to create this playlist.
Enjoying this to the fullest. And a bottle of rum.'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

While it's an opinion, it may come from a musicological analysis of Ottman's work, which was most probably a scientific process.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website
