I recant! I just started playing it again and I take back everything I said about the non-memorable theme. I don't know where I was when listening to the last time. It's right there. That first track is pretty great. Clearly my first listen wasn't a good one. -

NP: Brave Hearts: Umizaru - Naoki Sato
A very enjoyable Sato score this one: exciting, action-packed and featuring a catchy "power anthem" of a main theme. A bit of a Backdraft sound to a lot of it.
I'd no idea what the film was about but looking at the synopsis a lot of the musical choices are explained: "...special rescue unit..", "...flight experiences mechanical trouble...", "...emergency landing on water..." & "...only have 20 minutes to get everyone out before it sinks..." Plus a love interest.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 -

Dennis The Menace - Jerry Goldsmith
I've always had a soft spot for both film and (of course) score.
And this new La La Land release is terrific.
Sounds great plus complete score, nice art and liner notes to boot.
It's just pure fun with its Americana sound plus a dash of Prokofiev thrown in the mix. -

While I never listened to this outside of the film, which I wouldn't like to return to (though as a kid I liked it), it's quite hilarious that the theme for Christopher Lloyd ended up as an epic villain theme for the Huns in Mulan
While at it:
Jerry Goldsmith - Timeline
The complete bootleg. I know that a shorter album was released by Varese some time after Goldsmith died, but I don't think it's available anymore. There was a twofer including Looney Tunes, but not exactly the most interested in that score.
I like this quite a bit (the battle cues are great!), so if I find a copy somewhere, I'd get it.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

I'll have a look through my "favourites" playlist and see how many songs there are on it. That's bound to tell me all the songs I wanted to hear again. It's fair to say though that James Bond songs are going to feature heavily.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 -

I don't think I like a lot. I like few enough that I can go though my list and find a definitive list - though some of them may be more themes with vocals rather than actual songs (you may see what I mean when I put up my list.)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 -

NP : KING KONG - John Barry
Brilliant!
Oh, and thanks to the guys here for the advice on a water* damaged back-inner sleeve. Although a bit corrugated I managed to save it but most importantly the CD works perfect.
*More than water it must have been a small bit of spilt lager, I remember cleaning up a spill but hadn't realised it had seeped into this CD which was at the bottom of a small pile atop the table.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Can't handle this one at all mate. As much as I adore the man's music and will always rate Goldsmith the greatest film composer of them all, this is one score of his that I find almost impossible to endure. I actually pulled it out recently in contemplation of buying the expanded edition - but no, it still irritates the hell out of me. After about 20 minutes I had to pull it out!

Wow! A lot more than I thought you would list. I like the majority of them too ( plus there's a small handful I haven't heard )
Here's my list of Bond songs I don't like. It's much easier than listing those I do
The Man With The Golden Gun
For Your Eyes Only
All Time High
Tomorrow Never Dies
Die Another Day
...and from the unofficial Bond film
Never Say Never Again ( Only one Legrand in your list? )
...and that's it! To be fair, it is only Die Another Day that I really dislike, the others I just don't care much for.
p.s. There's a lot of great songs from Blaxploitation films. I didn't see SHAFT on your list?On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

New in the collection:
NP: Gormenghast (2000) - Sir Richard Rodney Bennett
I have been long after this score, but did not want to pay the rediculous prices for which it was offered. Now I could obtain a used copy in mint condition for a reasonable price from a gentleman in Kent / England.
It is a magnificent score!
VolkerBach's music is vibrant and inspired.
