Gods of Egypt again.
This is so deeply rooted in the classic tradition of monumental film scoring, that it can serve as a substitute of Miklos Rozsa during this Easter weekend.

I think you mean GODS AND KINGS.
The best parts of the Ridley Scott score are the pieces composed by Federico Jusid and Harry Gregson-Williams.
But yeah -- I prefer that over the extremely overrated Beltrami effort.I am extremely serious. -

Yeah. Gods and Generals is something about the Civil War, right?
I don't think at all that GODS OF EGYPT is overrated. Quite on the contrary.
I like Jusid's material in EXODUS, whereas the efforts by HGW appear rather bland and could have been left off the album altogether.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

Are you kidding? "Tsunami" is the best track from that score! -

Gilles, if I had your musical tastes, I'm not sure how I could maintain the will to live.
Although if I had your musical tastes, the point would be moot.
No offense mate, but there are no right musical tastes, or tastes in general. We all like different things. I used to react like you do... but really, ask any random person in the street to listen to a score from Powell, how many would like it, how many would be turned off by it... by the mere fact it's instrumental music written for moving images.
Not liking Powell does not make my life less rewarding... I love plenty of music that IS fulfilling. Which makes total sense, because I tend to not like crap...
the thing that people don't know, my brother gives you the indication he doesn't like Powell and Tyler at all, but he has for instance selfmade suites of How to Train your Dragon or Aliens vs Predator. Meaning he doesn't hate them at all 100%, so there is still some hopewaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh -

Seventh Son Marco Beltrami
Incredible score. Beltrami is one of the most exciting composers working today. Hipsters hate him. -

You read my mind... that is why I am now listening to that most cuddly film score of all, something called HOOK. And I'm not afraid to admit I'm a gigantic fan of the film too. That's how much of a big softie weirdo I truly am. Which is insanely COOL.

Well yes bro, I already admitted that much concerning Tyler, 3 cues of AvP:R are all I can stomach. And Powell I have a hard time sitting through his scores. But some 9 minutes of highlights... well that's perfectly do-able."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

Well sure. But that's just because all scores from before 1995 are the bestest ever in the history of creation!'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

NP: Birkebeinerne (The Last King) - Gaute Storass
Thanks for bringing this one to my attention, Thor! Just started listening. IMO, "BifroĢst" is a contender for track of the year!
Looking forward to listening to the score proper!

Fuck this is so good. And we're to get another swords and sandals-type score from him this year I've just read! -
- CommentTimeMar 25th 2016
Yup! Ben-Hur is going to be another piece of dog shit but Beltrami's score will most certainly kick some serious ass!

Wasn't he mentored by Goldsmith at some point? I think he took on a little too much of his wisdom... -

Glory - James Horner
Haven't listened to this in years but it's excellent. One of the few Horner scores I can return to and appreciate as music and not feel like he's cajoling me to tears/cheers. And all the musical ideas get a good workout and go through nice permutations. Holds up great as an album. -

Yeah, it's there, but the music's good enough and the mood's solemn enough that he earns it for me. Now Legends of the Fall, forget it, I can't do it. -
- CommentTimeMar 25th 2016
I'll amend my comment and say it was Cocoon. But Glory is certainly one his earlier scores with his heart string tugging sound that he later became famous for. (Legends of the Fall is probably the score where he perfected that sound.) -

TOTAL RECALL
Has anyone bought the new release from Quartet? Best edition of this masterpiece by far. And I thought the previous expansion from Varèse already sounded tremendous. They've really done an incredible job with this one. The bonus material isn't worth it IMO, but the original presentation (on disc 2) certainly is. I've always been amazed how perfect that album was, and that there was so much brilliant material left off that the complete score isn't in any way less than perfect. The expansion makes for more room to breathe and build up to a truly satisfying climax. And to hear it in such amazing sound, well... it was worth every dollar and then some !"considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -
