    Listening to my The Lord of the Rings Trilogy playlist. Most of the tracks are pulled from the original single disc release of each score with the exception of Return of the King. So many GREAT cues were missing from the single disc release ("For Frodo" and "Crack of Doom") that I've added them to the mix.

    All three scores are modern day classics with the first score still my favourite of the bunch!

    Care to share your playlist? I've always been meaning to make one but there's just so much music!
  4. NP: The Back to the Future Trilogy - Alan Silvestri (VS)

    Cool music, yet I was never a fan of the franshise and did non see any of the films more than once. So any deviation from the original tempi do not concern me. I like the album as it is.

    Giving it a second spin.
    Yep, my thoughts haven't changed.
    Mr. Southall's review expressed my thoughts perfectly.

    The film is a childhood/teenage favourite of mine. In fact, now that I've seen all of Verhoeven's films, this may very well be my favourite.

    NP: HIDDEN KINGDOMS (Ben Foster)

    A great score, no doubt, but the presentation suffers. 48 short tracks, loads of mickey-mousing, a broad range of styles and far, far too long.

    I find that I appreciate this one more if I disassociate the music away from the idea that this is music for a documentary. Though there is a lot of dramatic music in documentaries today - as well as mickey-mousing - I find this music far too dramatic for the documentary genre.

    I think though that the style of the music is a by-product of the general trend of nature documentaries being increasingly anthropomorphic.

    Did you see the show? I did but am not sure Ben Foster did - the music rarely seemed to belong. I do like the album, though (while acknowledging and agreeing with Thor's caveats).

  11. No, but I have seen extended clips. From what I have seen, my thoughts on the music seemed to be confirmed. The music would just be too distracting.

    I much prefer this to Tyler's follow-up.
  13. I never understood why this great score was bashed for being in RC mode. If anything it is in highly intelligent RC mode. This is an example how modern super hero action films might sound.

    I think it was a case of expectations. People couldn't handle hearing that style coming from Doyle. If that music had had Jablonsky's name on the cover, I think it would have been received...well, perhaps not better, but with a lot less disappointment. Personally I think it's hugely enjoyable, probably the best score Marvel's had so far.

    Didn't Clemmensen give it four stars for example? smile

  18. Yeah, he was one of its staunchest defenders as I recall. But it got quite a few lukewarm reviews and comments as well. No outright hatred or anything, but a lot of people who seemed to think Doyle "betrayed" himself or whatever.

    NP : RIO 2 - John Powell

    John Powell is back! Now, this isn't the greatest score ever, I don't think anybody expected it to be, but it's just so darn good to hear his music again.

    There are a couple of fantastic new themes, and his orchestration just keeps getting better and better. The amount of stuff going on is quite mind boggling.

    Like the first score, nothing really gets enough time to develop, and there are often lots of shot moments of brilliance that abruptly end before it can really get going.

    Oh, and there's harpsichord. Worst. Instrument. Ever.

    That being said, it's an absolute joy to hear his writing again. Using woodwinds to mimic bird calls is absolutely brilliant.

    Also, don't miss the "Bola Viva" cue composed by Powell and Carlinhos Brown which is only on the song album - it's an absolute highlight.

    As a kind of sun-drenched romantic piece it's really not a bad album, despite its reputation.

    It's the horrendously appalling film that probably taints the score. Makes a change doesn't it? wink

    Film is appalling, and so is the score -- at least in context. Despite that I'm a fan of both Bay and Zimmer. Something went terribly wrong with that one.

    BUT...I never picked up the album. Could be a whole different animal.

    Indeed - it's a terrible film and the score doesn't help. Much more enjoyable divorced from the film though.

    The composer happens to agree. Elmer Bernstein however seemingly did not.

    NP : RIO 2 - John Powell


    *phew!* I don't know how much longer I can put up with this one? Like Thor, I'm finding this one too mickey-mousey. There's some nice breezy moments but they seem to be all too brief, the score also uses one of my favourite Brazilian singers, Milton Nascimento, but here it's nearly a waste of time and probably no more than an exercise to get some Brazilian talent involved. rolleyes

    Please John Powell, move away from the cartoons eh? There's a good chap.

    I wish he'd do some concert works. His writing style is fantastic, he just needs chances to develop all these great ideas into full pieces.

    I'll say what I always say when people bring this up - why? Modern-day animated movies, in a lot of ways, give their composers far more room to spread their wings. The composers are allowed (if that's the right word) to write in much more colorful and expressive ways than seems to be permitted in the more "serious" live-action arena. I'd much rather have Powell exclusively pumping out these bright, fun scores than have him be forced down the Henry Jackman route of alternating them with horrid, tuneless, abysmal action scores. Not that I think Powell would ever stoop to the levels of Jackman's latest few, but still.

    I'd love just as much as anyone to see him take on/be assigned to some films with a bit more variety (not necessarily action movies...how about a proper drama?), but honestly I'm just as happy to if he keeps on doing his thing. It's just such a good "thing" (to me) that I can't complain. smile

    Keep in mind I haven't actually heard Rio 2 yet ( crazy ), so this is all hypothetical on my part...

    This. This needs to be a thing. I thought I heard some rumors that he was writing a piece to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of WWI, but that was probably hearsay...

    I'm sorry, but inexplicably a strange typo entered your post there. You meant to say "awesomest instrument in the non-linear history of all multiverses". Of course. Just thought I'd point that out.
