    Star Wars - Attack of the Clones - John Williams

    Years of crappy action scores have made me realize I largely took this score for granted. Even some of the more rote action cues (like "Bounty Hunters Pursuit") sound like a breath of fresh air.

    I agree, not fantastic, FUCKING fantastic is more like it!


    Well, I'm glad some of you like it that much. I'm FAR from that level of enthusiasm (too much other Horner gold that blows this out of the water, if you'll excuse the pun). It's fine. No more, no less. I have spoken.

    NP: Yojimbo - Masaru Satô

    One of the catchiest opening title themes around:

    Excellent!
    I really need to watch that film again.

    Me too. If I remember right A Fistful of Dollars was a Western remake of this.

    Almost shot-by-shot (especially in the first half; although the dog walking out past the 'lone rider' in the opening shots is QUITE a bit grimmer in Yoyimbo).
    And yet both films are VERY different and exceedingly worthwhile.

    My least fav Star Wars by a mile with some of the most ordinary and deathly boring action music Williams has ever written... not including The Coruscant Chase and The Arena. But The Asteroid Field cue and the Obi Wan vs. Jango cues are Zzzzzzzzzz... and there's just a lot of dead cues during the middle portions of the album. Lots of pointless wallpaper.

  7. NP: In Session - A Film Music Celebration (2001) - Various

    Thanks, John and Erik, for this recommendation. This is indeed a stellar compilation. What intrigues me is that they didn't add main theme after main theme but looked for highlights in the entire scores. This sets this album apart from your mainstream Best-of-Hollywood compilations. It's really for the connoisseur.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  8. NP: You Only Live Twice - John Barry

    This version I am listening to at the moment is my own chronological order version. I remember one of the first things I did when the expanded versions of these scores were released was to refer back to the old FSM magazine articles that deconstructed the music into chronological order.

    So, I took all the new long tracks and cut them all up into their film cues and then inserted them into the correct place and, voila! I remember having loads of fun doing all this. It makes the score seem a whole new beast when compared with the more familiar original release.

    Just like the movie. :p I listened to Revenge of the Sith right after and was even more impressed. Williams really nailed that score.

    Two excellent fantasy scores!

    This one is also really good but not quite as good as the two mentioned above.

    It's in my top 10 TV scores. Those suites, in particular, are just wonderful from start to finish.

  15. NP: Razion - Andre Neumann

    No idea whether this is psytrance music or not - it's not my usual go-to genre of music. But, it's certainly catchy and very enjoyable.

    Thor, you were the first person I thought of who may enjoy this. You can listen to the whole album here:

    His score for the game DUX 1.5 isn't half bad too.

    Razion really is VERY retro in places (reminding me far too often of early 90s DJ house party "fills" -electronic 'breaks' between records-.
    Not bad, overall, but 8 Euros to spend on it is a bit much, I feel.

    Thanks, there's a lot of fine stuff here. The only elements of psytrance here appear in the single track that is clearly intended to channel it -- otherwise, there's a lot of other retro EDM things he's trying to do, some successfully, some not so much.

    NP: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: ROGUE NATION (Joe Kraemer)

    This turned out to be my final listening. I tried it again, came halfway through, but then gave up and deleted it. Incredibly tiring stuff. But I'm looking forward to seeing the movie!

    DAWN PATROL will remain my Kraemer highlight of the year, 10 times more appealing than this.

  21. I think it's brilliant, you just inspired me to listen to it right now! The action material is brilliant but I love the Puccini quotes too, the way in which he plays the Mission: Impossible theme immediately after makes it and the Turandot feel like one one cohesive love theme, the orchestration is brilliant!
  22. NP: The Genius of Film Music Hollywood blockbusters 1960s to 1980s (2015)
    The London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by John Mauceri

    Recorded live at the Royal Festival Hall, London and released on the orchestra's own label.

    There is nothing here that the experienced collector of film music won't know already. What this makes appealing to me are the suites from CLEOPATRA (North) and MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (Kaper). Also performance and sound are great. So this is a nice concert album.

    I can see it working in the film, and it's certainly not on my list of 'worst scores of the year' or anything. But it's simply not my cuppa tea.

    Not spectacular, but a nice return to the Burwell that I love. Ethnic instruments, nice melodies and all around classy chamber music.
