    As I said over on FSM, they kinda remind me of The Sparks, which has a similar delivery of lyrics. Very cool!

    This is such a gem! A throwback to 80's symphonic scoring.

    Oh Michael, how I miss Thee! I believe this was his last score (or was that OPEN RANGE?).

    This isn't bad, it just is not my cup of tea really. That might change once I have seen the movie. Meanwhile this is in my "Nice on spotify but not nice enough for my collection" category.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    Open Range was the last one he completed by himself - Back to Gaya was partially done posthumously based on what he had written earlier on.

    NP : MOVEMENTS - Johnny Harris



    Wonderful album from 1969, mostly cover versions of classic songs but does include some of his own film compositions. This is in the easy listening mould but with a bit of bite to it, some of it is damned funky, I'd describe it as George Martin meets Quincy Jones and I love it! love

    Here's some information on Harris...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Harris_(musician)

    Really, this is honestly bloody great and if anyones interested it's available on Spotify.


    I played this again earlier.

    Martijn, have you ever heard this? I think you'd like it.

    Bregt too.

    Brilliant beyond words. This guy really did write film music like nobody had ever heard before - many times.

  4. NP: Inside Llewyn Davis (T Bone Burnett, Oscar Isaac and others)

    Few films in the last year put music at their centre quite like Llewyn Davis did. 'Fare thee Well' is moving - particularly in its solo performance by Oscar Isaac at the end of the album. 'Five Hundred Miles', with Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan joining Stark Sands on vocals, longs for a better world.

    It hurts my head a little that filmmakers can make a film around music, threading the themes through their script, and most film music fans would never think twice about it. (Because it's not a score, because it's got lyrics, because it's folk music and not that curious rock-orchestral-electronica hybrid idiom that now passes for most film music.)

    I find the English vocals to be extremely creepy. I can't get them out of my head. "Mental torture...can't ignore the paranoia...heart is racing". Somehow the lyrics are so catchy they've been glued to the inside of my brain ever since I played "My Enemy."

    Also quite shocked that Hans would choose to go for quotable English lyrics to carry the main villain theme. If the copycat army decides to emulate this choice, it's going to be a crazy fascinating year for the Zimmer-emulating scores. It's one thing to play the horn of doom every time there might be doom. It's a whole new thing to have the villain fly off into hardcore intimate rap about himself whenever he or his minions are onscreen.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!
  6. The lyrics almost turns it into a musical. wink

    I couldn't stand that score, to be honest. Irritating, non-stop folk songs that were played out in full at all times. There's something very aggravating about a certain type of bluegrass and other folksy genres when there's too much of it (I didn't like O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU either, although the tone of that film made it easier to swallow). Drove me up the wall eventually.

    Then again, I didn't like INSIDE LLEWYIN DAVIS that much as a film either; I found it rather overrated and "hipster-y".
    I am extremely serious.
