    For the field archaeologist, there are several advantages to report writing, two of them being getting to sit inside while my colleagues are out in the cold ( biggrin ) and being able to listen to film music while writing!

    NP: The Last Valley - John Barry
    Floors me every time! Comparisons with The Lion in Winter are inevitable, and I know many have that score above The Last Valley on a list of Barry's best. However, I actually prefer The Last Valley by a small margin. Wonderful main theme, gorgeous choral writing - and then there's the theme for the valley itself! So achingly beautiful.

    I think the exact same style of score in the hands of a competent composer would have elevated it to a 12 or 13.

    competent? Holkenborg is definitely competent. Actually that's what I dislike about most of his music: he sticks to the playbook. Competence is boring.
    Bach's music is heartless and robotic.

    The Rendezvous Austin Wintory

    Really enjoyable action/adventure score, by far the most "conventional" thing I've heard him do.

    Even being conventional by his standards, it still sounds incredibly fresh, like nothing else I've heard in the genre. I especially liked hearing his action music.

    Precisely what I thought. Wintory is different in a good way.

    NP - SPIDER-MAN HOMECOMING - Giacchino

    This has one of the most memorable marvel themes yet, and it has several other themes besides that one. Not bad.

    One of my absolute favourites, always somewhere within the personal Top 100 you're never really sure about.

    I'd like to hear it, but somehow it doesn't exist, so I just decide to be very happy with this +1 score, instead of being unhappy about a non-existent +2/+3 score. tongue

    'Conventional' isn't necessarily a complimentary term.

    Personally I've never warmed to Wintory in any shape or form.

    I've been enjoying Howard Shore's Cosmopolis score though I have not seen the movie. I plan to read the book soon, as I like DeLillo.

    NP: MAYHEM (Steve Moore)

    One of my favourite scores last year (and favourite movies, for that matter), but the album is much too long at 70 minutes. Need to whittle it down.

    Cosmopolis is a good score.

    I just relistening to Good Time and Blade Runner 2049, both scores made my top 10 of the year and have grown on me. I still don't love either score but I like them.

    Both made my Top 10 too! But I agree -- neither would have made my top 10 in any other year.

    Patrick Doyle's "The Wedding Night" from Frankenstein is some of the finest writing for strings I've ever heard. Sorely underrated!

    Yeah, the piece is fine (as well as a couple of other tracks), but I can't even get through that score. I sold it many years ago.

    I've basically only played new scores in the last few months, but it's good to play one of one's old albums once in a while.

    The Tadlow 2 CD compilation. New in my Collection. I already had the "Lawrence" album with accompanying compilation. This is the sister set. Fantastic music, marvellously recorded.

    The Shape of Water is a terrific score, but for me lacks the melancholia and heartbreaking passion of Pan's Labyrinth, substituting instead a sort of Disney sickly-sweetness that I do not find entirely convincing...



    I guess it's disappointing: there just hasn't been a truly GREAT score for a while that I've really felt thrilled to listen to. A Ghost Story remains my favorite of the year, but that's mostly because of how much I loved the film.

    Haven't seen the film yet, so I can't comment on its appropriateness in the film, but I concur that it's such a shame Del Toro didn't keep Javier Navarrete as his go-to composer. El Laberinto del Fauno is a musical masterpiece.

    RP: Air Force One - Jerry Goldsmith

    I just played this in the car on my way to work. This is one of those scores that has absolutely no problem drowning out the engine and road noise!

    And I have to say, this is one score that's aged quite well. I always liked it, but lately I've come to appreciate it even more. Maybe it's just because I miss Goldsmith, I don't know.

    But damn, this is one exciting score (and, as James writes in his review from back in the day: it's loud!). "The Hijacking" is one of my favourite action cues from the last part of Goldsmith's career. Just as you think it can't get any more exciting, Goldsmith ramps up the tension. My God, that man could write action music!

    Great, dynamic start to the day! biggrin

    (And yeah, I know the Orange Menace in the White House appropriated the theme for his campaign, but **** that self-serving bastard! Thankfully, it does nothing to my appreciation of the score.)

  30. NP: Robin Hood The Prince of Thieves (1991) - Michael Kamen

    The expanded album sounds marvellous. What a great release! Someone over at FSM got totally worked up about the fact that the songs are missing for licensing reasons. What a luxury problem when those song are so easily and cheaply obtainable.
