  1. NP: The Cursed Crusade - Markus Schmidt

    Not a "caped crusader" but a "cursed crusader", I believe that this music is from a videogame. And it's epic: percussion, grand choral parts and some "ethnic" influences. Try out this Spanish-tinged track, "Esteban Noviembre"

    I much prefer Söderqvist's darker scoring. Rom-Com scores tend to be the sort that I just can't listen to. But it does seem to be getting some very positive comments, so just ignore my negativity!

    It won't win any awards but it is nice to listen to while I'm typing. Not intruding at all.

  5. Hans Zimmer - The Thin Red Line

    After spending the better part of the day listening to the mammooth release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture including the legendary and classic theme in about 20 performances in a not-much-changed arrangement, I decided to soothe a bit with this beauty smile .

    Because it's his best score, which says a lot. cool

    Me too. I know why, it's one of his best! So many beautiful and very string pieces in here. Melancholy at its best!

  8. Just went on an Olivier Deriviere listening spree over at Youtube, to see what the big deal was. I sampled tracks from four different scores, including two highly-talked about ones:
    "Remember Me"
    "Alone in the Dark"


    So. My reactions went from: slant to vomit



    There endeth my sampling of Olivier Deriviere scores.

    I will, since there is a century of unheard music to explore. I'll die only having heard a fraction thereof.

  12. I am playing myself! biggrin

    (No, Thor, not with myself.)

    5 years ago I became interested in music production via DAW and vst/vsti. Since I have always been an electronica geek, I thought this could be a great way to get into digital music production.

    Yet I discovered then that I lacked the hardware power to really do it decently.

    Now, I bought a new PC a few month ago and it dawned on me that I could as well give it another go.

    This time it works perfectly! Concerning the DAW I opted for Magix Music Studio, which is plain and simple and great for amateurs and beginners. I used QBase 5 years ago and found it quite overhelming.

    I have installed a number of free plugins, Magix (Yellow Tools), Native Instruments and others. It all runs smoothly.

    The icing: I just reactivated my old Native Instruments FM8 licence.

    Since my tenager years I always dreamt of owning a Yamaha DX7 synth. Well, I won't enter the stage and so the NIFM8 is even better. State of the art frequency modulation wit all the factory patches of the DX7 on board.

    I won't be able to really dive into this until the summer break. Very exited anyhow!

    A masterpiece! I don't think Hans Zimmer will ever wrote another score like this one, but I'm happy he composed this masterpiece.

    Speaking of masterpieces:

    NP: Memoirs of a Geisha - John Williams
    http://cristianlee.1x.com/
  14. NP: The Adventures of Don Juan - Max Steiner, Tribute, 1948/2010
    William Stromberg conducting the Moscow Symphony Orchestra

    Man, what a release!

    Malick brings the best out of composers, even if he hardly uses their music in the end. -_-
  16. If I were to say that I find the majority of Malick's scores to be dull, would that induce a shitstorm?

    NP : THE LEGEND OF THE LONE RANGER - John Barry


    I don't imagine anyone would call this 1981 film a masterpiece but the stunning photography and John Barry's score are both worthy.

    Haven't actually heard that one. I love "Journey to the Line" and to a slightly lesser extent "Stone in My Heart" but other than that The Thin Red Line kind of...well, bores me is too harsh, but it's headed in that direction. Tree of Life really does bore me for the most part and To the Wonder is even worse. The New World is quite pleasant but, again, nothing mind blowing for me (though it has been a while since I last listened to it).

    In my opinion, the music written for his films (I hesitate to actually call them "scores" as they rarely end up not functioning as such) is way too cerebral at the expense of true heart. There are exceptions in certain cues but yeah, for the most part, it's just not for me.

    I don't have much of an opinion about any of the others, but The New World might be one of my five favorite musical albums of all time. The themes are the finest of Horner's career IMO. But its a highly personal score for me too so I'm definitely biased.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    Best post of the year!

  28. I've never seen a Terrance Malick Film.

    THE NEW WORLD is the only score to a Malick film that does anything for me (it is lovely).

    I just finished playing G.I. JOE: RETALIATION. Yuck.

    Now I'm playing DREAMER - John Debney. Much better! I like this score. It's one of Debney's best, imo.
  29. Got another CD in trade, "The Bodyguard" (Silvestri)

    I'm probably half-way in, but it's great to have this personal hold grail finally, and fantastic LLLR did it.

    This only reaffirms my love of the score.


    The slow stuff in the beginning reminds me of some of the soft, slow string work on the TV series "In the Heat of the Night" (like David Bell's work), and some of the action material clearly has building blocks in what would later become some of the action material in "Eraser".

    The soft woodwind material reminds me of tracks from "The Mission".

  30. Ah, a Terrence Malick discussion that, true to now playing form, gets into none of the details and just ends up being a list of what everyone doesn't/does like. wink
