Thor, I just downloaded the thing so that I can listen to it without clogging my non existend bandwith. I'll come back to heap my praise upon you later.
Just now I am listening to Sarah Class' Africa. Beautiful!

Sarah Class! There's another female composer that could have been a contender. She needs to get a little more assignments under her belt, though.I am extremely serious. -

The only disappointment is that I swear Morricone was inspired by a few parts of Per qualche dollaro in piu by Leo Nichols. I guess it could just be a coincidence, or maybe it was the temp track. I'm not saying it's a rip off, but there's a definite similarity there. -

Didn't Morricone wirte and record the music before principal filming even started? Didn't Leone have the music play on the scene so that the actors would get into the mood?Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

That looped synth junk they use to play in that sort of film would not get me in any exploitable mood, BTW.

Leo Nichols is the worst hack in history.
EVERYTHING he did sounds like Morricone.

But wasn't Nichols' score already influenced by Dan Savio's score for Vain Muutaman Dollarin Tähden? I think that you'll find that it was.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

Quite good, but it's a pity really an album wasn't released at the time, since that would probably have been 30 minutes long rather than 77 (and 30's all you need in this case).
I just wrote the review, there's a wonderful 40 minutes album in it.

I had to attend a burial this afternoon. My best mate’s mother from childhood days passed away. She lived next to my parent’s place. As a kid I was in, through and out that house all the time.
I am no believer but I have to admit the pastor did a good job. But the grandchildren’s crying really got to me.
After the burial some friends of mine from the old neighbourhood gathered in my parent’s garden and we had a beer or four. I mean, what is there to do after such a burial than get a bit drunk?
No I am listening to Elmer Bernstein’s To Kill a Mockingbird (Varese re-recording)

Swell review, Thomas! Insightful und great writing!
NP: The Last Samurai (2003) - Hans Zimmer
I never saw the film in its entirety. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Cruise vehicles lest they are done by Steven Spielberg.
A few days ago I found the CD budged priced in a store.
I like the more ambient cues. I find it a solid offering but nothing overhelming. The big praise the score sometimes recieves is a bit beyond me.

NP: S.O.S. Titanic (1979) - Howard Blake
I love the contemporary music arranged by Blake included in this album. The score itself isn't as massive as Horner's would be some 20 years later. Yet it's emotional and even in the gravest moments has an element of lyricism. Great TV scoring.

Jerry Goldsmith - Tora! Tora! Tora!
I have many times expressed how much I respect and like this rather eventually forgotten score (because it's hard to listen to, I guess). It's one of my personal Goldsmith favourites. I am listening to it, because recently I've been somehow inclined to listen to war scores, I don't want yet to divulge into why I am doing it. The scores I've listened to in the course of the last couple of days, not really in sequence:
John Williams - Saving Private Ryan
Hans Zimmer - The Thin Red Line
Hans Zimmer - Pearl Harbor (the worst of the lot, but a nice album)
James Horner - Windtalkers
James Horner - Enemy at the Gates
Jerry Goldsmith - Patton
Maurice Jarre - The Longest Day (finally saw the movie, a day after rewatching Saving Private Ryan)
Rachel Portman - Hart's War
Michael Kamen - Band of Brothers
Michael Giacchino - Medal of Honor
Michael Giacchino - Medal of Honor: Airborne
Christopher Lennertz - Medal of Honor: Rising Sun (I think it's an underrated score)
Ramin Djawadi - Medal of Honor
John Williams - Schindler's List (a complete masterpiece and my favourite John Williams score. Ever. In fact it shares No. 1 place with The Thin Red Line)
Planned scores:
Finishing the Medal of Honor series, especially Frontline, at least finishing up Giacchino (just not sure about Allied Assault, which I personally don't find that amazing, the best cues in that game are actually reused from the previous parts)
Hans Zimmer - Black Hawk Down
James Newton Howard - Defiance
while not properly a war score:
Dario Marianelli - Atonementhttp://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

NP: Avatar - James Horner
Utterly delightful. I totally don't care about how many Hornerisms there are. These harmonies are intoxicating. Also this is one of the best sounding scores I have ever heard. The way this sound is concieved and called into being is amazing. I love Horner doing science fiction!
