I will find a distinctive motif!!!
(I said that about Michael Clayton too but I've yet to actually get around to purchasing that score...)I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

There doesn't always need to be a motif or theme, does it?
But sure, it helps.
Although, I wouldn't look for it in Michael Clayton.Kazoo -

Powell scores are usually very deceptive on first listens. We'll soon find the motifs and themes! -

I am absolutely positive that there's a motif in Michael Clayton, I found it just in the two listens to the downloaded version I had. But I'm waiting til I get the CD to verify my theories.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

NP The Hallelujah Trail (Elmer Bernstein)
It´s party time with Bernstein. So joyful and full of energy it´impossible not to like this one. It´s full of highlights, but "Main Title (Orchestra and Chorus)" and "Which Way Did They Go" are specially great.
I have the original and Silva re-recording.
If anyone want's uplifting this is it, I LOVE it!On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Heard last night: SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET (DeLuxe Complete) - Stephen Sondheim
Such a lush score, beautiful orchestrations and performance by orchestra and cast! Sure, I've understoond the main cast doesn't have the tonal reach of an Angela Lansbury and you might consider this rendition a bit 'thin', but see it this way: it's a different approach done by actors, thus concentrating on the personal espect (hence the lack of chorus), which gives a different feel to it. If you want to have the same approach, go listen to the Broadway recordings. Burton has done something slightly different with it, and it works marvelously.
While during the film I didn't have favorites yet, the songs now all stand out, having that "oh yeah, that one!" quality. The musical use of thematics within the songs is just brilliant, all coming together in the moving Final Scene (watch out, only for those who already have seen the film!). I feel Sweeney Todd really is the best moviemusical in years. -

Asterix At The Olympic Games : Frederick Talgorn
Extremely John Williams-esque in most places. I guess that's what the director wanted.
I'm not complaining! It sounds wonderful! Very rich and quite magical.
Talgorn is a brilliant composer who deserves more recognition.
He and Roque Banos are the two composers I've only recently become familiar with.
I'm so glad I have. I love their music! -

I couldn't have said it better myself. First listen = nothing. Second listen - annoying guitar theme, sliding brass ''theme'', some other ''heroic'' motif I think and then that strange Asian sounding string instrument (which I really like).
I also spotted a little ''motif'' with some electronics (it's in Bridges, Rules Banking and Roland At The Lair (like the bass line of it). There's also the little piano theme in the first and last tracks but they're pretty much exactly the same so is it really a ''theme''? -

After a month of no cd playing I finally found the time for some listening last night:
Luis Bacalov - Caravaggio
Delightful score with gorgeous themes and some nice pastoral parts.
Tonight I plan to listen to Kaczmarek's Guerra E Pace -

NP: Broken Trail (David Mansfield / Van Dyke Parks)
A really beautiful score -- a perfect blending of Chinese style with Western. A bit like Basil Poledouris's The Legend of Butch and Sundance and Lonesome Dove mixed with the more sterotypical Chinese music style one associates with the culture. Simply beautiful.http://unsungfilmscores.blogspot.com/ -- My film/TV/game score review blog -

Agree. Along with POTC3, The Thin Red Line and Gladiator, his best work in 10 years.
NP 10.000 B.C. (Harald Kloser & Thomas Wanker)
Much better than I expected. A nice main theme, lots of percussion, tribal/ethnic music (a bit annoying IMO, but I´ve never been into tribal chants) plus nice dramatic and epic (not over the top though) stuff. When it comes to action, it´s very Tyler-ish in some tracks (I like it ) and VERY Zimmer-ish / Jablonsky-ish in others.

No theme to hold on to, no real emotion, no substance. Just a plain old noisy, generic, ordinary work.

Bah. Not very well developed. Some simple melody that was put together in a James Horner moment with so substance.

As espected then. I can't believe they left David Arnold. Kloser couldn't even inspire himself with his own script it seems .... I'll be happy and skip this one, as planned anyway.
THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY | zbigniew preisner
One beautiful, although a bit a depressing listen. The slow paced sad pieces are extremly beautiful to hear. The more upbeat Saigon theme, or the other parts with guitar, belong to the more catchy side of Preisner, if 'catchy' is even a term that can be used to describe his music.Kazoo -

I'm looking forward to this one - partly because it's so different from what I'm used to hearing from Danna.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -
