    JP : RUSH - Hans Zimmer



    It's okay, I enjoyed it. I could chill out to this as an album.

    Talk of M:I-2 is seriously turning me off.


    Don't worry, it's not a disjointed score, the M:I-2 is in the electric guitar ostinati (the first 10-15 seconds of Bare Island come to mind) that the score is often based on. It's a rock score, not your traditional sports thing.

  3. NP: Gattaca (1997) - Michael Nyman

    I saw this in a shop today for 7 € and bought it on impulse. I did not see the film inages and I had no recollection of the score whatsoever.

    I just ripped it to my computer and started playing. I am not terribly familiar with Nyman's work. I know his Peter-Greenaway-scores and "The Piano" and one album of non-film music.

    Let's see how I fair with this one.

  4. Some of Gattaca is absolutely gorgeous. Seeing the film helps appreciate this score a lot too.

    Some is gorgeous indeed. It's not something to listen to, when you feel down. I need to see the film again now. I have a notion the score fits the film like apair of leggins.

    I think that it can be an ideal score to listen to when you feel down. For me, listening to a melancholic score (though I don't think Gattaca is that) somehow acts as a comfort, mirroring my feelings and becoming an aid and support to my own feelings.

    Perhaps bizarre, but that's me!

    Edit: or maybe I just prefer to wallow in my own self-pity.

    Carlito's Way - Doyle, Patrick

    Fantastic.
  6. I'm with you, Alan. I like a sad score when I'm feeling sad. It's cathartic.

    NP - THE ULTIMATE LIFE - Mark McKenzie

    This score was released today. It's soft and nice for the most part, with the occasional stirring theme, and a couple of bluegrass tracks. A very nice score overall so far (I'm about 3/4 of the way through). I'm sure this will end up in my top 10 scores of the year.

    NP: Rush - Hans Zimmer

    Zimmer is in his comfort zone with this score and for the most part it's entertaining but that's about it. Best score of the year? Far, far from it. It's not even Zimmer's best score of the year. The Lone Ranger takes that prize.

    Nürburgring sounds very Inception-y in parts. Methinks Lorne Balfe might have had a say in that cue.

    So, are there any great Japanese composers besides Hisaishi and Sato that I should investigate?

    I would recommend Taro Iwashiro (The British Museum, Gekijôban Furandaasu no Inu, Haru No Yuki, Isoroku, the Red Cliff scores & The Sinking of Japan) and Masamichi Amano (The Aurora, the Battle Royale scores, the Giant Robo scores & Super Atragon) are two that create consistently good scores.

    I have two Amano scores already, I forgot about him. He is definitely worth further obtainments. Thanks for the recommendations! smile

    It's a lush thematic symphonic score that wonderfully captures the spirit of the voyage, the exitement of the sea sailing and all the plaices they visit. It is a bit on the easy-listening site. I never really saw the film, but I suspect there is some Micky-Mousing going on here. If you know the music of those 50s-60s documentaries made by Disney you get the picture.

  13. NP: Die Blechtrommel / The Tin Drum (1979) - Maurice Jarre

    Commemorating the passing of the great German character actor Otto Sander of stage and cinema fame.

    He was among the greatest.

    Thanks!

    The only work of Gould's I'm familiar with is his excellent score for the TV series Holocaust which I do have on LP.

    HOLOCAUST

    Anyone who has not heard this should check out the clip I posted, it's stunning music.

  14. NP: SHE - Max Steiner
    The Moscow Symphony; William T. Stromberg

    An extraordinary recording. It combines the spirit of the Golden Age with high fidelity sound.

    I also love the novel by H. Rider Haggard.

    I really enjoy Amano's scores. Sure, there's a lot of temp track love going on with many of them (especially Goldsmith and Horner) but he weaves them in and out amongst his own rich, lush and fully orchestral compositions.

    A sampler that our own Thomas sent me. Some of it is a bit too 'bombastic', but there's a lot of great stuff here too.
