    Somebody should tell this guy that it takes more than drums to write effective action music. My ears! crazy


    What do you think of the more melodic, middle-eastern loop work he's done in some cues? Like the stunning opening cue, 'history of Artemisia"?

    NP: AGE OF CONAN: HYBERIAN ADVENTURES (Knut Avenstroup Haugen)

    Stupendous! I'm proud to call Knut a good friend.


    Agree. One of the best scores (overall) to be relased post-2000. Shame that that nutcase created his whole decleration on this score and it was this that brought this score to the attention of the wider public, for the wrong reasons that is, and most importantly: that the follow-up sequel scores didn't match the first one's quality at all.

    The Shipping News - Christopher Young

    This is my favourite celtic-flavoured film score and possibly my favourite Christopher Young score, which is odd because it's atypical for him in style. I never tire of listening to it.


    Great moody film and colorful score, a very fine moment in Young's career;

    I'd bring neither the words "stunning" nor "melodic" within a league of this score, but that cue was one of the few that I found to be slightly more than mind-numbing. Has some cool middle-eastern loop stuff going on, as you say, but it goes on far too long without variation. John Powell did this kind of stuff much better in The Bourne Ultimatum.

    I actually like the sequel scores too, esp. when it taps into Southeast Asian colours -- some even with a definite Tan Dun vibe.

  6. NP: The Film Music of Miklos Rozsa on Chandos
    The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Rumon Gamba

    I've downloaded the album from amazon.de, the physical disc will arrive this week. The album contains suites from

    The Thief of Baghdad
    The Jungle Book
    Sahara
    Ben-Hur

    Now, there have been some dismissive voices about this new release over at the FSM board because most of this music has been recorded several times already. Also there was a similar programmed album by VS / Colosseum some ages ago. (A CD I happen to own.)

    All I can say is, that this new Chandos album sounds spectacular and that I am a happy customer.

    Volker
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    Chandos do Rozsa? I'd have preferred some "obscure" British composer to continue with ( I still have hopes that one day they'll do Humphrey Searle's film scores ) but I look forward to hearing this new Rozsa recording, particularly SAHARA which I've never heard.

    NP : COSMOS: A SPACE TIME ODYSSEY - Alan Silvestri


    My first play. I love the main title and the rest is shaping up nicely so far. If anyone is interested I'm listening to this on Spotify right now.

  10. NP: The Book Thief (2013) - John Williams

    I did not listen to this in quite a while. It is better than I remembered it to be. Nothing particular new if you are familiar with William's work. Still: sensitive and elegant. A classy score.

    Hack! - Scott Glasgow

    Having spend the last 24 hours doing little other than agreeing with him on Facebook, I thought it was only right to listen to some of his music. This one is superb, chilling orchestral horror music. Hope he gets his own big break soon, and kudos to him for speaking out against the Zimmer clones.

    Papillon - Great film and great score!


    NP : GAME OF DEATH - John Barry



    Awful film, truly awful! ( except for the Bruce Lee fight sequences ) The score is Bond-ish and very much Barry on auto-pilot. It's okay but not one I return to often, in fact I doubt I've played this in well over ten years now and it may well be longer than that, if ever? That I play it again.

    NP: Makara - E.S. Posthumus

    My coworker calls this my "angry music". In a way, yes, but to be fair, it's simply perfect music for those time when you just want to hunker down and destroy a project. It's excellently blunt and no-nonsense "action" music.

    NP: THE SALAMANDER (Jerry Goldsmith)

    What a fabulous restoration. Not all of the cues are equally interesting, IMO -- I've never been able to grasp JG's whimsical, odd-metered action music. But that requiem for a general is as good as it gets!

    E.S.Posthumus gave birth to trailer music. Sadly, trailer music never matched E.S.Posthumus quality and i say sadly 'cause of the sudden, unexpected and early death of one of the two members of E.S.Posthumus and their early demise.

    Yeah, that was a sad moment for me. And, to be fair, they really popularized the current trend of epic sounding RC-inspired trailer music.

    It'll come as a surprise to absolutely nobody that I think this is untrue. That's like saying film music never matched Max Steiner's quality. Yes, what E.S. Posthumus did was incredibly influential on the genre as a whole, but that doesn't mean that there haven't been others who have done stuff that's at least as good, case in point being Thomas Bergersen.

    Thomas Bergersen is a very highly underutilized individual who should score movies, not trailers.

    I would love to have that as my name.

    Same reason why I love this quote:

    "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

    I must thank Seth McFarlane for hiring Alan, and getting him out of his orchestral funk and into something that has more scope and diversity, as opposed to just another generic action score.

    And for hiring Joel McNeely and letting him score A Million Ways to Die In The West.

    I'm glad he does what he does! If he were to score movies I bet the producers/directors would tell him to tone/water it down. I'd love to have it happen for the exposure it would give him but musically speaking, I feel as though what he does allows him to express himself much more naturally than a movie would.
