I love the film, Michael Mann's aesthetic at it's best, a gripping true story and phenomenal performances from Crowe, Pacino and Plummer.
I possibly wouldn't like it as much now as I did at the time, but I really, really loved it when it came out. Great stuff. -

If asked to take one film to a desert island, THE INSIDER could well be the film. A thriller with real stakes. A tale of heroism that's actually alert to moral complexities of a second best world. And Thor hates it, because people talk too much. Thank God Mozart doesn't care that the Emperor thinks there are too many notes in his music.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 John Powell
I think I might be joining Edmund's team where this is concerned. 'Flying With Mother' is just incredible, both on album and in film.
That it's better than the first score? Not quite... for me at least. But that's not a knock against this brilliant score. And "Flying With Mother" is indeed wonderful. Best cue of 2014. FACT!

I don't hate it as much as I do INHERENT VICE, if that's any comfort. Knowing how we differ on these particular type of movies, I think you'll adore it.I am extremely serious. -

Hmm, perhaps not better, but very nearly equal, if not entirely. I agree, Flying With Mother has become my favourite of 2014 too. A true air-conducting cue. -

Yeah. But before that happens collecting is fun.
OK, that has to do with having grown up with LPs. Already as a child I loved big LP collections. It has become irrational of course. I get a CD, I rip a digital copy, put it away in a box - I don't even put them on a shelf anymore - and don't look at it in a long time. Still I need to know the physical thing is there. Silly me.
I can relate to this.
I'm so bad with clinging to physicality that if I have digital media I'll transfer it to CDR and make up covers and all. Talk about reversal of things! But I dislike playing a lot of digi-media. Especially when playing albums that have cues that blend together. I'm just stubbornly old school minded. -

That's not my camp though! They're practically equal in my mind but if forced to pick I too would go with the first by a smidge. -

There's some brilliant material here, fairly Beltrami-like, but half the album feels like filler which is a real shame because otherwise this would be one of his strongest. -

Ah, but are you complaining about Volker's complaining sentiment, or are you complaining about Erik's anti-complaining sentiment and, by extension, Scribe's backing of said anti-complaining sentiment?

NP: Furious 7 - Brian Tyler
Hmm, it's a fun score, if a bit too long (as in it wasn't so well produced and feel scattershot and inconsistent, like most Brian Tyler album) as an album. It sounds like a continuation of all material from the previous Brian Tyler scores to the franchise (which is appropriate) with more electronic overdub. There are a couple of new thematic material, and even an "epic"/awkward choir moment, but no standouts like prior scores. -

NP: DANCES WITH WOLVES (John Barry)
My favourite Barry (I think). I'm slowly starting to appreciate other parts that aren't just the Dunbar theme -- probably because the "action music" here is less staccato than it usually is with him.I am extremely serious. -

Okay, now I'm really confused. By accepting this premise, we should not take all your other mumblings seriously. But by accepting it we're also forced to consider not to take the premise itself seriously, therefore implying we should take your mumblings seriously. But if we reject it, that also means we should take you seriously, therefore implying the premise itself should be taken seriously, furthermore implying not to take it seriously.
Either way, this is all very serious and has given me an existential crisis. I wish to complain. -

I think this score would have been much better without the techno-lite electronic approach. It just somehow doesn't fully agree with the rest of the orchestration. And Tyler of all people is a composer who is definitely able to present a very good interrelation and balance between the electronic and orchestral elements. The way the score is orchestrated and the more melodic lyrical music (a good change for Tyler in terms of the memorability of his non-action music, starting a couple of years ago) though hints at a potentially better score. Oh well.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

I agree. Much about this score seems to be a "cut&paste"/temp influenced score. The electronics doesn't seem so jarring IN the movie FWIW, and kinda of "upgrade" the original orchestral version a bit. -
