    The choral magnificence of the Luke/Vader duel in JEDI is better than the entire score of Prince of Egypt.

  2. I remeber many peolpe clamoured for that motif (The Dark Side Beckons) to be used in "Battle of the Heroes" in the wake of Revenge of the Sith. Of course Williams is far too intelligent as to rob that motiv of its singular climactic character. Yet the general style of "Heroes" is somewhat reminicent. Williams refelcts the connection between both sceenes without compromizing the original motif. This is John Williams.

    It depends Tom, I'm giving each selection a lot of thought. It certainly won't all be John Barry selections.

    I've narrowed down my 3rd choice and that isn't John Barry.

    Crikey, I'm not even up to my second choice.
    But yeah, it's not a surprising one: Conan it is.
    And the third one -for those who have been paying attention- won't be either.

    I better get cracking thinking beyond that!
    A top ten would be tough, leave alone a top 50!

    I expect a retrospective would change my top 50 over the course of time. None of it is truly written in stone and a revolving 100 albums could all be elegible for the top 50.

    Hi, Timmer.

    I have about 92 albums in my mind which I'll need to whittle down to 50.
    Will be posting them in the weeks ahead...

    Excellent! You I think, in particular, are going to post some very interesting choices. Seriously, I look forward to them. beer

    I'm not really going to participate but I will throw out some that I listen to on a regular basis between reviews.
    It should be no surprise that a lot of these will be older releases so let's get started with one I return to on a very regular basis. I'm also saying that some of these are not the best for a particular year but a favorite.

    KING KONG/MAX STEINER I have the rerecording that Stromberg and Morgan did for Naxos and strongly recommend it. It is well recorded and played and just remember this was 1933 before we were all born. Wall to wall music.

    Is anyone actually interested in me doing a super long post of my top 50 each with their own paragraph about what they mean to me?

    Sure. If you can do it one at a time, after Timmer first has posted his pick for the given spot.
    I am extremely serious.

    Yup. Get your first two picks up and tell us why you love them.

    Because them's the rules! smile But you're free to write it all at once and then spread it out whenever a new spot is presented.

    No one can stop you posting your list of 50 but it's not in the spirit of this thread and personally I wouldn't bother reading through anyone's list that long.

    What's wrong with one at a time with a bit more detail on why it's a favourite?

    I guess I didn't really read the beginning of the thread closely enough, I thought it was just people posting their top 50 in whatever format suited them as long as it wasn't a plain list. But it seems really really confusing to do it the way you guys are doing it, not how my brain works spin

    ...and my 3rd choice?


    # 3 JAMES HORNER - KRULL ( 1983 )

    Horner has written more refined and more mature scores in his later years, the likes of Braveheart, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind etc but this for me is just a splendiferous, exuberant joy of a score, and another album I've bought on 4 separate occasions ( lp and 3 cd's the last of which was the double cd ), every time I play this I'm never bored of listening to both CD's, the fact Horner had to write this quickly gives it a raw, rough edged quality that I absolutely love. Chock full of brilliant full blooded themes, fabulous choral writing and The London Symphony Orchestra, this score has it all!

    Not surprising! As you know, I don't share your (and many others') love of KRULL, although I do think there are a couple of superb tracks on it. There's just too much horror stuff, stingers and sneaking-around music for my taste. Then again, I've always only had the 2CD release and not the original album presentation. That may explain some of it.

    My choice?

    3. THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (Danny Elfman)

    One of my earliest soundtrack CD's. I remember cycling downtown to buy a soundtrack CD for my allowance in 1995 or thereabouts (before I started buying CD's through mailorder and long before buying stuff online), and picking up Goldsmith's CONGO. A chance purchase, even though I had just seen the movie. Well, I found it OK, but rather disappoing, so I cycled back and exchanged it for NMBC -- one of the smartest decisions of my life. It triggered and cemented by love of Elfman's music -- a superb score where he channels Calloway, Weill and Prokofiev while adding his own trademark style. I love the melancholy of it, the meaty orchestrations and the great moods.
    I am extremely serious.

    To be honest Thor, I don't think the single album representation would suit you either, a lot of the loud "horror" stuff ( the Slayer music ) on it.

    I love the film The Nightmare Before Christmas and appreciate the score and songs in that context but have never had the desire to own the CD as a stand alone listen.

    No. 3 on my list: Return Of The Jedi.

    I expounded on that one in an earlier post, so I won't repeat myself, as much as I like to hear myself talk (even in writing wink ). It's interesting that this album made so much of an impact on several of us here.

    One of the three (!) musicals I like (and in fact absolutely love).
    It's definitely on my list as well, although I'd have to think about its place.

  29. The third album in my list The Mission by Ennio Morricone.
    Deviant from my standard procedure I did not discover this music in its related film. Rather the famous choral piece was used in a documentary about native people in South America. This was before internet. So I sent an inquiring letter to the TV channel. To my surprise it was actually answered. With that information in hand, the rest was relatively simple. I already knew Morricone as the composer of great western themes. Those I also did not discover in their proper films but in Marlboro commercials. But that story is for one of the next entries.
    The Mission has ever since been one of my favourite scores (All of it!) especially after I got to see the film. My favourite re-recording of “On Earth as it is in Heaven” was performed by The Prague Philharmonics some 10 years after the film and may be found on “Hollywood Choral Classics”.
