Really it's a bad day for film music when people argue over what is Hans Zimmer's best score since INCEPTIONOn Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -
- CommentTimeNov 4th 2013
I haven't heard RUSH yet, but I'd say THE LONE RANGER is the best thing Hans Zimmer has written in a couple years. Probably since PoC: AWE.
NP: ENDER'S GAME - Steve Jablonsky.
Not bad. I was expecting worse after some comments from this board, but it's pretty okay. If the middle chunk (tracks 8-14ish) of the album were to go away I wouldn't miss it, but there are some good moments. I like "Ender's War" and "The Battle Room," and "Ender's Promise" is quite good after it finally starts doing something (around the 2 min. mark). -

This is in my top 300* scores of all time. I think you should tell us if you "get it" yet?

I can see the muiscal qualities that this score has. It's a damn fine composition. I guess I'll have to revisit the film to evaluate it as a score.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

I always felt that the two "Hand of Fate" cues are really all you need to hear from Signs (and it's some of JNH's best material), although I'm sure I'll get a stern talking-to about buildup and payoff and all that nonsense... -
- CommentTimeNov 5th 2013
IMO there are moments in the middle of the score (my favorite being in "Boarding Up The House") that are more magical and special than the "Hand of Fate" cues.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -
- CommentTimeNov 5th 2013
IMO there are few moments in the history of film music that are more magical and special than the "Hand of Fate" cues. But now that you've said that, I'm gonna have to go back and listen to "Boarding up the House."
NP - GIRL RISING - Lorne Balfe and Rachel Portman
This is nice. Very nice. It's certainly my favorite thing I've ever heard Balfe do. -

Its the bit from 1:35 to 2:05. That's my favorite part of the score, but I didn't mean that "Hand of Fate" is any less than spectacular eitherI love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

FROZEN GROUND - Lorne Balfe
Not recommended. Nothing happens in this score. It just drags on and on. Why must I feel compelled to listen to everything in an album before dismissing it? -

NP: FLOWERS OF WAR (Qigang Chen)
What a gorgeous score this is! Parts of it remind me of Fenton's ANNA & THE KING.
My God, I'm well into this now and the choral writing, man, THE CHORAL WRITING! This must have been one of the best scores of 2011!
I'm agreeing with Thor -- that most mean the planets have alinged and huge comet is about to strike us! Cats and dogs, living together!!!The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -
- CommentTimeNov 5th 2013
Signs is definitely in my top ten scores of all time. The Hand of Fate PT I is one of the best cues ever written. Perfect fit between image and music. For those who hasn't seen the movie at least watch the Hand of Fate scene. -

NP: Nosso Lar - Philip Glass
Listening to a few favourite tracks from this Glass score from 2010. "Sombra" is a highlight: in a way typical Glass but different...with its ostinato basis but with interesting orchestral variations.
I must be slipping...I've never heard of this! -

NP: HUMAN PLANET (Nitin Sawhney)
The composer is unfamiliar to me, but there's some lovely writing here. Not necessarily super-thematic, but great 'colours', so to speak.I am extremely serious. -
- CommentTimeNov 5th 2013
I really like Sawhney's music for Human Planet. I play it quite often.
NP: The Paradise - Maurizio Malagnini
Sumptuous, beautiful music that complements the period drama perfectly!
Malagnini is a name to watch out for. -

Now Playing: Porco Rosso - Joe Hisaishi
A lightweight, by Miyazaki/Hisaishi standards. Has all the usual chipper, upbeat themes and sense of innocence that you would expect. The opening burst of adventure and the absolutely gorgeous recorder theme in "A Time of Searching" (aka "In Search of the Distant Era"...stupid alternate Japanese translated titles) are the highlights, a shame that there's not more like it on the album. Still, you can't go wrong with Hisaishi and this is a lovely score, just not quite in the same league as a Spirited Away or a Castle in the Sky. -
