Outstanding, just outstanding!
The owner of a soundtrack store in Hamburg once told me that this score never sold out and remaining stock had to be destroyed.
Today that album is offered for rediculous prices.
VolkerBach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

I don't love all that much by him, to be honest, but there's a bunch of his scores I really do love - Lawrence, The Man Who Would Be King, Passage to India, Tai-Pan, Sunshine. A few more probably that I've forgotten. Otherwise he's more a "compilation guy" - lots of great themes. -

I said earlier that my enjoyment of Desolation of Smaug was more cerebral than actual musical pleasure; well, now that I am a bit more familiar with the themes and structure of the score, that has changed, I'm now loving the music as well. I feel that music like this needs to be given a chance to let its flower unfold before your ears over the course of multiple listens. But I understand most don't have the time or patience for that.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

Jerry Goldsmith - Rudy
Kudos to Varese Sarabande for putting their output on Spotify. I got to Premium, because I got my job back, so I will explore much more of music that way. I will also get the original CD quite soon, as long as I get my salary for this month, actually.
This is a beautiful score, which I've known for years, but watching the movie made me give it even more respect. Even if it gets big, the exercise in restraint this score has and how Goldsmith assuredly controls the intensity of the music (which, in film, is very carefully spotted as well), tells loads about how much the project meant to him.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

I remember Goldsmith stating in and interview he liked scoring films like "Rudy" (he didn't care for writing action material), and was hoping for another. Too bad he passed before getting that chance on "The Game of their Lives".The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -

Sport films are the ultimate feel-good material, I can imagine why he loved instilling that in the audience. A cue like The Final Game is a definite cure for depression, for sure
.
Goldsmith left Game of Their Lives some time before he died, because of his health, he wasn't attached to it anymore when he passed away.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

NP: QB VII - Jerry Goldsmith
Complete re-recording on Prometheus
This is a beautiful recording! This score stands eye to eye with scores like Schindler's List or Exodus. The crown jewel of this score of course is "A Kaddish for the Six Million". James Fitzpatrick recorded the concert suite of this score some years ago. If you compare the center piece "A Kaddish for the Six Millions", the suite version is a bit slower and the organ mixed more prominently up front. That makes the the suite version the more epic one. I am not familiar with Goldsmith's original recording of the piece. (Or recordings? I'm not sure if the LP were re-recordings.) So there is no comparison.
Be that as ist may, I am happy that Tadlow/Prometheus have resumed their recording activities just when I thought that such productions were a thing of the past.

Actually, they announced while (or after) recording HOUR OF THE GUN that they would be continuing their re-recording series by re-recording Goldsmith scores.

It's mindless fun! It's not great but I've been listening to Christmas music for the past week so I needed something like this, i guess. It sort of reminds me of White House Down. Nothing great but entertaining enough to get me through the work I'm doing right now.

NP-FFT*: Planet Ocean - Armand Amar
I'm getting so used to the Brian Tyler school of album production where all the highlights are stuffed in the first 5-10 tracks, that I was pleasantly surprised to find "The Ocean Is Not Infinite" be so gorgeous after 8 more meandering tracks at the beginning of the album. I wonder what other wonders are in store...
(*this is now my official lazy designation of "for the first time")
Armand Amar is one of the most oustanding composers we have in the genre, this score is so exotic and beautiful, like most of Amar's work, although more uplifting than his usual darker tone. Loved the score, every single cue is one small highlight.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

NP: Cosmopolis (Howard Shore & Muse)
A project that invites extremes. It's both the worst film I've seen in some years (deliberate alienation has the intended effect), and the best Howard Shore score I've heard in some years (both in film context, and away from it). I await the firing squad for the latter view.
I haven't heard it but I looked it up and it's on Spotify so I'm going to give it a listen later.
Spotify was how I got addicted to it. Skip the songs first time round if they get in the way. (Although I've come to like them too.)
I like Muse.
Actually, the band is Metric, not Muse .
If it was Muse, at least that score would have a couple of listenable cues in itLove Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

This is a really lovely score. Not to mention very seasonally appropriate. There is not a better Christmas-themed score in my collection.
NP: LADIES IN LAVENDER - Nigel Hess.
I wish this man would score another film. And get Joshua Bell to play again. This score is so gorgeous, and Bell is just fantastic.
Woah, two of my all-time favorite scores here, both are absolutely gorgeous. Especially MERRY CHRISTMAS which is Rombi's finest score to date, and contains some breathtaking cues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdcTvTskqtsLove Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

NP: Contact (1996) - Alan Silvestri
This CD arrived today. Fitting as there is some Christian mythology present in this film. I long had the Silva Screen re-recording of the end titles suite and it's fine to have the entire score now. In my books this one is among the finest scores Silvestri has written.

"Back to the Future"
The 2CD deluxe Intrada edition. I selected cues and pieces of cues for suite arrangement(s) and am currently in the process of making the first suite. I don't always have the time to sit through the entire score, let alone the original writings on the second CD, so this would be very helpful for me when time is short and I just want to get to the twinkly parts, the heroic theme, and the plucky Marty, my fucking time experiement has gone fucking crazy!!! romp stuff.The views and opinions of Ford A.
