NP : EMPIRE OF THE SUN - John Williams
I'm in a Williams mood and this is another great score to a film that I think was underrated in Spielberg's canon.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

LOOKING FOR RICHARD - Howard Shore
Listened to this last night, and it's growing on me on every listen. A dark, heavy work for mixed choir and dark orchestra (and organ!) that really has its medieval touch. It's missing lighter moments and variations to be able to compete with the massive Lord of the Rings, but as a more mature work from Howard Shore, it's certainly among his best work. -

NP: Moving Music (Armand Amar)
I think the title refers to the sense of movement, rather than the listener's emotional response.

Oh, total agree about the film. A marvelous motion picture that not too many got. The war as seen through a young boys eyes. While the last act tends to drag a bit the rest of the film is simply magnificent!

PS - The score is great, too!

Indeed Erik! and I wonder whatever became of the fine young actor who played Jim?
NP : THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN - William Walton
Though I love Goodwin's score I really felt in the mood to just play this part of the CD. Excellent work with more than a touch of Malcolm Arnold who also conducts it.
Battle In The Air is a magnificent cue that owes everything to Arnold's concert piece Tam O'Shanter, it's also the only Walton piece that remains in the reguler release of the film and carries the scene without dialogue or sound effects, a superb bit of film making.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I love EMPIRE OF THE SUN. It's pretty much Spielberg's best (for me), gave the world Christian Bale, does justice to a fine book, and features a John Malkovitch character so interesting I want to see a film about his adventures.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Haha! How's the music otherwise?
I've ordered a bunch of his scores but I'm yet to get them. The only one I listened to (La Terre: Vue du ciel) was pretty good. -

I like Amar's music. He does the fusion of world music and minimalism far better than Philip Glass ever has. It's probably not as grave as LA TERRE VUE DU CIEL, but there's a lot of gentle beauty here.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

n.p. WILLIAM ROSS - the evening star
Irresistible, passionate and sweepingly melodic, this is one big and pure delight from start to finish; equipped with beyond words-beautiful themes like the one heard in "Rosie Comes Home" for the first time or the addictive main theme, this is an instantly lovable and heart-warming orchestral gem i'd wholly recommend to every lover of quality film music.
It's also one of the last -- if not thee last -- scores Jack Hayes was orchestrated fully on.The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -

It IS an amazing score but as a listening experience I just can't take too much of it, in fact I'm already taken it off and looking to play something else.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

NP: Home on the Range - Alan Menken
Everyone needs to listen to a bit of Menken once in a while (it would, I suspect, solve all the world's problems). This one's relatively minor, but the songs are great, and the score is probably the best modern-day Copland pastiche for a western. -
