    Are we listening to the same score? It's full of nothing but melody! The themes have been in my head since my first listen.


    I couldn't hum one back to you! Not one. A forgettable score, IMO. I heard the film is pants, too.

    Still my favourite of 2013 so far. Wonderful.


    I agree with you there. This score along with two others are pretty much tied for top score of 2013.

    It's been on the shelf since 2011 so the omens aren't exactly good!

    I listened to this earlier and can hear why James equates this with Delerue's scoring. It's gorgeous, I like it a lot, it did far more for me than Copperhead which I couldn't hear the appeal of.

    I've been listening to WINNIE MANDELA. I'm definitely in James' camp. Absolutely lovely score!
    I am extremely serious.
  6. NP: Psycho - Bernard Herrmann

    An outing for the Danny Elfman/Steve Bartek version of this excellent score. This re-recording (IMO) nails Herrmann's original pretty well.

  7. I also really like WINNIE MANDELA. It's one of my favorites of the year! Very melodic and downright gorgeous several times.

    I'd rather stick a fork in my eye! tongue

    In all seriousness, I can get a solid 10-12 minute suite out of this. But I will give it another shot since my first listen was in the car.

    EDIT - BTW, I'm getting a Howard Shore vibe out of the piano work. In a strange way the piano pieces abd chord progressions remind me of BIG. dizzy

    EDIT 2 - I'm liking the first 5 score tracks. Much more than I remembered. Maybe the lesson here is to not have my first listen be in the car while on the way to work after working a 14 hour day the day before. wink

    EDIT 3 - Ah, there's the track that ruined my listening experience last time. The generic string ostinato, basic chord progression cue "On the Run." <-- Reminds me of an interview I read about a young composer (can't remember the name) who once said that he begins "writing" music by coming up with a string ostinato to write around. suicide

    And now it's utter depression the rest of the way.

  9. NP: Batman Forever - Elliot Goldenthal

    Listening to the entire score is a mammoth task! I've never been a big fan of what Goldenthal does for Nygma (perhaps he was influenced a lot by Carrey's performance with the way the composer went?) but the rest is classic Goldenthal.

    This "voice" of his is sorely missed.

    With a lot of this score being similar to Batman and Robin, passages of Batman Forever are spoilt slightly by hearing the distortions that are present in corresponding passages of the boot of Batman and Robin.

    I agree, Alan. The Nygma stuff is a major turn off. But the rest is a gothic masterpiece.

    NP: LA DAGA DE RASPUTIN (Roque Banos)

    It's a bit dark and sombre without that much interesting in terms of texture, but it has some pretty cool tracks. I think this will grow on me.

    I have a lot of time for that one too.
    (Although the 'memory' chorus might sound a little like Rosenman's 'robocop' choir in years to come.)

    NP: Ghost Writer (Desplat)

    Love hearing woodwinds at the heart of a score again. :BernardComeBack:
    A butterfly thinks therefore I am
  13. Hmm, there are quite a few recent woodwind-heavy scores, aren't there? Just not in blockbusters.

    NP: Häxan - Barði Jóhannsson

    Häxan (The Witches) is a 1922 Swedish/Danish horror film. It's had 3-4 scores composed for it over the years but in 2006 Barði Jóhannsson released a symphonic composition for the film. I thoroughly recommend it.

    Played by the Bulgarian Chamber Orchestra it's quite a low-key piece structured as "movements". The music itself isn't "horror music" (the film isn't horrific in the sense of graphic) but takes some musical ideas and develops them over the course of the movements. Here's a link to the first movement:

    Did you see the fim as well, Alan? It's one of those seminal twenties' films I was really happy to get my hands on.

    NP : INTRUSIONS - Gregoire Hetzel



    I really like this, a dark , moody score in the vein of Georges Delerue with a touch of Herrmann.

    If anyone is interested in listening, I just found this on Spotify, I'd never heard of the composer so thought I'd give it a try.

    NP: NOUVELLE VAGUE - CHANSONS ET MUSIQUES DE FILMS (various)

    Wow, what a great 3CD set that covers most of the great films and scores of the French New Wave. I'm on CD 1 now, and it's brilliant. Jazzy, melodic stuff -- far from the disjointed nature of the films themselves (for the most part). Delerue, Legrand, Herrmann, Duhamel, Jansen, Jarre, Fusco, Gainsbourg etc. are all represented here.

    A good reminder Thor. I meant to get this a couple years or so ago.

    How would you describe it? I've never heard it. (I think I saw the film when it was new but don't remember the music.)

  28. From what I remember and I haven't heard it for ages, it's Badelt doing The Thin Red Line a bit, isn't it?

    It has MV-ish moments but I really liked it, very thematic. It's available on Spotify if you want to give it a listen?

    Not too blatantly like some scores we could name but yes, it does have a TRL feel
