    It's interesting to hear how Hans reinterpret the sound of the locomotive since the corking Peacemaker. Just as good and just as unique. Though I was hoping to hear a more Bernstein-esque sound in there, but all we got was Rossini (but what an excellent track it is).


    I'm sure you're familiar with the fact that the 'Wilhelm Tell Overture' was used for the old TV series, and that's the reason for its inclusion?
    I am extremely serious.

    Yes, of course. Rossini composition was always going to be included. But its inclusion, on album, seems stylistically, out of of nowhere. A bit more trumpet/brass work would have aided its presence, IMHO.

    NP: Conquest 1453 - Benjamin Wallfisch
    Anyway, I absolutely love this. A wonderful blend of modern film scoring sensibilities and instrumentation mixed with a more classic, traditional Hollywood sound.

    shocked Really? I don't think the electronics fit at all. The whole thing sounds like a fantastic epic score trying to burst out of a layer of electronics that feel like shackles imposed by the director or producer somewhere along the line. There's some amazing material in that score ("Pulling the Ships"!) but on the whole I found it a very mixed bag and I'm surprised that you of all people, Erik, would give the synth loops and such a pass.

    And it's not the fact that there are electronics that bothers me - it's how they're used.
  5. I am not so keen on how the electronics are used in the score either. They just don't quite seem to "gel" together.

    While I'm sure the producers and/or director "forced" the electronics onto Wallfisch I'm glad that the orchestral writing was still able to shine through. I thought Wallfisch did a good job to blend it all together nicely into a surprisingly cohesive listen. At least there was an attempt on Wallfisch's part to write something good around the generic cliche that is boring electronics pulsing away aimlessly in a "historically set film."

    Glad that I can still surprise people now and then.

  7. MARY SHELLY'S FRANKENSTEIN - Patrick Doyle

    It's been a long time since I've played this. The love theme is one of Doyle's best ("The Wedding Night" is rapturously beautiful), but the track that really blew me away was "Creation". I had totally forgotten about that track, but it is fantastic!

    Anything he writes for the BBC. But I'd go for Frozen Planet next. True 5 star material.

    Godzilla David Arnold/Nicholas Dodd

    Definitely one of my favourites. Not quite a top 10, but certainly a top 20. Pretty much anything this team came up with in the 90s features very high on my favourites "list" (there is no list really, just a bunch of scores I'd take with me beyond the grave if I could!)

    Next up I think is The World Is Not Enough. lick

    But is it proper? Or have you duly surrendered that opinion? I MUST KNOWS.

    Yes! Interesting side not, Pacific Rim is actually a very good remake of Godzilla. It stays very faithful to its source material. But it isn't as good as Emmerich's film.

    Well it couldn't be as good, if it doesn't make you feel sad for the giant monster(s) at the end...

    I fear my bait is too strong...
  29. GODS AND GENERALS - John Frizzell

    This is soooo good! There's just a lot to enjoy on the album and a few really powerful pieces ("To the Stone Wall" is epic!).
  30. TITUS - Elliot Goldenthal

    I really don't like this score. The jumping from one style to another just really grates. I'm sure it was perfect for the crazy film, but as a listening experience for someone who hasn't seen the film and has no desire to, it's kind of awful.

    With the exception, that is, of the fantastic finale track. Holy smokes, that's good stuff.
