    Sodom and Gomorrah Rozsa

    It's been a relaxed music filled Saturday so far. I had 3 packages with a new cd in each arrive this morning and I've saved this new recording for last. Amazing music in stunning sound, I can't recommend it enough.


    This is absolutely brilliant! I'd never even heard of the film until this recording, this is going to get a lot of plays.



    I can't wait for this to arrive! So stoked!
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    The Walk Silvestri

    First listen, interesting so far, shifts between typical Alan Silvestri emotional music, Jazzy and very, very French! 'Two Loves' is beautiful.


    Hmm? Okay!

    NP : THE WALK - Alan Silvestri


    First listen...

  4. Those final two tracks were my favorites. I look forward to the film.

    The Walk is a damn fine score actually. Another excellent effort from one of the best years of new film music in recent memory. An embarrassment of riches this year... except for Thor.

    Oh ya... fantastic recording by Dennis Sands!

    It's very good indeed, quite a surprise. So good in fact, I'm sure Thor won't like it.

    Doyle's score came out some years ago now.

    We've kept it on ice for just this occasion.


    Tomorrowland Michael Giacchino

    After having seen the film, which I greatly enjoyed, the phrase 'fucking nailed it' comes to mind in regards to the score. (Giacchino even had a cameo.)

    The film is a let down but the music is sublime.
  11. Cocoon: James Horner

    This made me fucking cry, grand emotional music.
    Is it so hard to compose something like this for today's films?
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh
  12. I think it would be, because of the change of film aesthetics: no traditional main title sequences, fast cutting...

    Man, that 7 note main theme got soooooo annoying as the film went on, didn't it? Almost zero variation. The rest of it was fine but MAN! On the positive side "Pin-Ultimate Experience" is still one of the finest cues written this year and works so bloody well in context!

  14. Is the theme you're referring to the (for lack of a better term) Last Crusade one? Because yeah, I don't much like that theme. It feels overly simple for what it's trying to achieve (which seems to be an 80s-film-music vibe). The other themes from Tomorrowland I enjoy, even if "Pin-Ultimate Experience" basically only has two chords in it (and is derivative of Tilton's SimCity), but the Last Crusade one grates on me a bit and I can't quite figure out why exactly.

    Yup. That's it!

    I don't mind that it's only two chords. What he does around those two chord is outstanding... even though it is inspired.... well, let say exactly what it is... a knock-off of Tilton's SimCity music.

    In any case, it's still a rock solid score.

    Yeah, a good chunk of the fascination of that cue is that ordinarily, I'd be bored to death of music constructed out an endless two-chord progression but Giacchino maintains interest. I'm not entirely sure how. I may have to analyze it tonight.

    I don't mind analyzing music to better understand why a composer wrote a piece of music the way he/she did. But I usually leave that to scores I care about deeply.

    Nope, sorry guys. I was a music major and analyzing is built into my DNA. I appreciate music more when I understand how it was constructed.

    NP : THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS - John Barry



    I'm trying to stay awake long enough to see the blood moon, struggling a bit, just over an hour to go.

    And yes, it's a very clear sky.

    Well, you're not entirely wrong. I definitely think it's possible to overanalyze something, to imprint meaning onto it that isn't necessary there.

    Very true. Particularly classical and pop are full of dismissing comments from composers of said pieces to writers who've claimed works were about, predicted, meant ...whatever.

    Forgive me, I'm very drunk and trying to stsay up, hope I made sense?

    Oh, it's been an OK year so far. But I suspect there will be VERY little overlap in terms of titles when we both sum up 2015 in our respective radio shows at the end of the year.

    I've only listened to 30-second samples of THE WALK so far, and they were OK. I'll wait untill I've heard the whole thing to comment further.
    I am extremely serious.

    Didn't see the blood moon, but you should have played Williams' gorgeous "Blood Moon" fugue from IMAGES!

    Deconstructing music is all well and good, but enjoyment comes from the sum of its parts, like standing back from a painting to see the full image rather than the brush strokes. I balk at the idea of turning over that rock in order to appreciate it more, despite my scientific approach to most other things.
  29. As with all things, there's a happy medium to be found. A little analysis can greatly increase my appreciation for a given piece of music, but it can certainly be taken too far.

    I had JB's THE BLACK HOLE on by the time the blood moon was showing, his dark and moody score was perfect.
