I know the score very well, it's easily my favourite Davis CD!
Perhaps you or Tim will win an autographed copy. There are no rules that say you can't win multiple times my friend.

I think Poledouris was in the temp-track (and actually was the primary composer on the film, but had to bow out?) and Goldsmith wanted to do some kind of a loving homage to Anvil of Crom with the rhythm at the beginning? It was something like that.
Hans Zimmer - Hannibal
This actually was my all-time favourite Hans score for quite a while, though I never got around to really getting to all the original classical influences to this one. It did however inspire me to listen to Mahler's 5th Symphony which features the evergreen Adagietto, one of my all-time favorite single classical pieces.
It's a very good score, quite valued at the time. And it ages very well due to a very classical sound at heart and actually, very romantic ("romantic comedy" - that's how Hans described the film). It's quite conceptual at heart and I actually DO have an article about this, but never got around to actually translate it to English. It's all by design. Even the dialogue. And it's a rare case where it actually fits.
It's weird to talk about a score called like that and not connected in any way to the Carthaginian leader... but it IS like revisiting an old friend .
Hannibal is fantastic. Touching, esoteric and heartfelt, a glorious blend of "next to be" Zimmer DaVincisms with romantic era and baroque style writing. Loved this era of Zimmer writing. When he was more restrained and very personal when It comes to composition. Closed in his studio creating personal music without extra incompatible to his style collaborations that litter his style.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

NP: Les Inconturnables Vol. 1 (Valdimir Cosma)
I just listened to "Reality" from La Boum" (1980). I was nine years old back then. If I remember correctly I saw the film about three years later. I did not care for the plot whatsoever but man was Sophie Marceau the epitome of cuteness! I had as big a crush on her as anyone else.
She still is a mighty beautiful lady!
VolkerBach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

Hercules - Fernando Velázquez
Okay. Second play through brings some clarity.
It's such an unevenly mixed bag really.
Best described as containing thin slices of awesome segments mixed into a soup of mediocrity.
Which is such a shame for such a great composer don't you think ?

Guardians of the Galaxy - Tyler Bates
I'm a fan of the film so I'll turn a blind eye to whatever flaws (temp-track love etc) this score contains.
It has some nice moments. It has some cool musical sections scattered throughout. I like it.
Temp track love from Bates again ? WHo does he plagiarise
This time ? (Haven't heard it yet)Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Jerry Goldsmith was Paul Verhoeven's only choice (when he direct "intelligent" movies, paraphrasing, natch!). Only the main Conan piece was in the temp, Paul really liked it, and Goldsmith agreed to adapt it for the main credits sequence. I remember listening to Paul talk about this in the director's commentary. -

I liked it, but not quite as much as the previous one. It's definitely a bit more "modern" - but that may mean that some people like it more! -

It's so much more melodic than he usually is, I can't really think of one! It's more like a slightly more restrained Lady in the Water. -

Yeah, but wasn't that "deal" with Goldsmith scoring the "intelligent" stuff (Flesh + Blood and Robocop would beg to differ) made after Total Recall?http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Funnily enough that is why I gave my first copy of Total Recall away: I thought it was WAY to Poledourissy!
God knows what I ws thinking.
Goldsmith paraphrasing Poledouris? Life just doesn't get any better!
In later years, with greater wisdom, I repurchased it, of course.

Tyler's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles should win an award for the most predictable score in the history of Hollywood. That being said, it is full of entertaining orchestra and choir moments. If only the chord progressions weren't so terribly familiar...I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

NP: FIELD OF DREAMS (James Horner)
This is a great example of how much my taste has changed over the last 20 years. Back when I got the CD in the 90s, I disliked it because it was too slow and textural. Not energetic enough. So I sold it. Well, I recently reacquired this in digital format, and found that it's RIGHT up my "new" alley. Gorgeous.I am extremely serious. -

- CommentTimeAug 6th 2014
I had a similar reassessment of the score, but for different reasons. At first it was something a bit too over the place and too synth based (and I rarely like Horner's synthesizer sounds), but now I found the coherence in it, so I love it.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Alex North - The Sound of Fury
Great.
Thank God for Spotify, so I can get a better knowledge than I already have. It's shocking how little I know of North's career. Spartacus (the original album) and Goldsmith's re-recording of 2001 is not quite enough. But he will be definitely a composer to my liking.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -
