A nice change from his usual adrenaline-fuelled scores. Great string ostinatos: "Puzzle Pieces" is a great 11 minutes.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 -

<--well, it's more appropriate than it is as a flaming Dinosaur innit! 
I watched the film the other day, and it never fails to impress. I LOVE that film and its brilliant brilliant score. And I love the fake shark.
I've never seen any of the sequels, I don't intend to!
Well done! I saw the sequel at the cinema
...but didn't see any Jaws sequels after that
Jaws 2 is an awesome score though.
I have no recollection of Jaws 2 except the ending. And I did see Jaws 3D. Would rather not repeat
Jaws 4 totally escaped me even if it stars Michael Caine of all people.
Don't be surprised. Michael Caine slummed it in many movies, particularly during the 80's. He used to have a personal mantra which went something along the lines of, nice wages, nice trailor, nice location and he'd make the film. In later years he ( thankfully ) became more picky.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Yes, the choice to appear in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island was surely an artistic one.

NP: 3 Days of the Condor - Dave Grusin
Fab main theme. First came across this theme on a Geoff Love & His Orchestra compilation LP when I was a teenager. Score as a whole has a great seventies feel about it.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 -

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty - Neal Acree
Bloomin' heck! This game score plays like a beefed-up, adrenalined-out prog-rock concept album!
The generally very long tracks (7 minutes+) certainly help reinforce that.
Very nice!'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

NP: THE VILLAGE (James Newton Howard)
Yeah, I'm positive -- I like this now! Still not sold on the other Shyamalan scores, but this one is up my alley.
LADY IN THE WATER might be worth a revisit. But that one in particular is special. There's a reason it was nominated for the score Oscar despite noone liking the film. Howard touched on something special.
NP: Romeo and Juliet (Abel Korzeniowski)
On balance, I like it. It gets a bit samey, but for the most part Korzeniowski is one of the guys who makes a nice album. (I'm not convinced there's much Philip Glass in this by the way -- this is pretty Romantic.)A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Actually, I was talking about Lady in the Water.
I love the message about everyone's strange personality quirks and even their flaws eventually having a higher purpose. I also quite enjoy the over-the-top performances of Giamatti and Howard. And the music manages to make some of the unbelievably lame-looking set pieces seem profoundly meaningful.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

Hehe, knowing how dissonant the score is, this gave me a little giggle.
I hope the CD won't just collect dust on your shelf from now on though. The main theme is perhaps my all-time favourite, so it would be a great shame if you never listened to it again, simply because the rest of the album is difficult.

Unfortunately, I had to let it go. These are all old promos lying about (digitally) that I finally decided to check out. Yes, it had a great theme, but that wasn't enough, unfortunately. That jagged, militaristic, dissonant stuff drove me up the wall.
On the POSITIVE side, I HAVE kept another of the Morricone promos, namely COME UN DELFINO.I am extremely serious. -

Scribe, in that case you share the fascination with a colleague of mine, who wrote these two EXTREMELY detailed analyses of the film, trying to rectify some of its low status:
PART 1: http://montages.no/2013/08/lady-in-the- … appraisal/
PART 2: http://montages.no/2013/09/lady-in-the- … ylisation/
They are in English, btw!
Personally, I'm still not sold on the movie, even though it was interesting to read Dag's analyses.I am extremely serious. -

The best non-Zimmer score to come from Remote Control in a very long time. Sounds like some passion went into this one - not one from the production line. -

Shame. To my ears it's kinda like deciding not to listen to Beethoven's Ode to joy, because you don't like the other movements. I think we have very different ways of listening to music.
Glad you kept one Ennio though.
