    That's such a fantastic cue. Electric bass, organ and edgy strings is musical dynamite in Morricone's sure hands.

    I remember my initial reaction to the first Lord of the Rings score (and that's music which gives every impression that it will stand the test of time, at least in terms of film music) !


    I know your initial thoughts about this score trilogy, What are yout thoughts (your personal thoughts) about this trilogy? (Being heard the sessions or not)

    beer


    Lord of the Rings? I've come to deeply admire it... in some ways love it. But I still can't get an emotional connection to it. I can listen to the single-disc edition of Return of the King straight through without hearing anything I don't enjoy, but I do think all the scores have flaws in terms of how they're used in the films, and the extended editions just have no interest for me at all.

    Annoying and completely inappropriate scoring. One of the most distracting cues in the history of film music. Laughable really. I remember my friend and I looking at each other in the theatre and wondering just what the hell Morricone and De Palma were thinking. And then the laugh out loud finale. Beautiful music on it's own but again completely the wrong tone. It made in incredibly cheesy moment unintentionally funny!

    I don't mind experimentation when it's good... but the Mission to Mars cues that we have discussed are awful, awful film music cues.

    NP:National Treasure 2 (Rabin)
    22 minutes from Itunes....

    A GREAT...GREAT SURPRISE!

    More orchestral, more thematic, with more color and with a synthetic touch more modern than usual in Rabin.

    The First track like the village is very unexpected! And Rabin with Accordion, I never expected to live enought to hear that!

    (I hated the synthetic noise from the first National Treasure)

  16. NP: The Yards (Howard Shore)

    My favourite Howard Shore score. It has a nice Eastern European feel in parts, and a couple of really heart-breaking themes.

    Also today: Where the Truth Lies (Danna), We Own the Night (Kilar - very moving, short score).

    NP: Atonement - Dario Marianelli

    I've had this for a while now and only now am I giving this a spin. I read Broxton's review over at MMUK and I had to put this one on just to hear if it is indeed one of the best scores of the year. Now, he thought The Golden Compass was one of the years best as well so I'm a bit pessimistic. However, I'm a few tracks in and I like what I'm hearing... especially the typewriter. I'm sure it's being use for a more dramatic effect but I find it a bit comical... in a good way. It's as if Marianelli was having a little fun with this score and the little flick of the typewriter right at the end of the opening track is evidence of that. It reminds me of the playfulness of Desplat's "Prelude" from Birth... another track that I adore. Anyway, I am really looking forward to the rest... especially the crowd pleasing "Elegy for Dunkirk."

    NP: Ratatouille (Giacchino)

    I really enjoy this score -- a bit of The Incredibles mixed with some French flavor, Carl Stalling, and salsa for good measure. It's not nearly as good as The Incredibles, but it does complement the movie oh so well. To be honest, too much jazz gets on my nerves but the score handles it brilliantly for the most part.

    Every new listen reveals countless new joys to this. A monumental score.



    I'm looking forward to giving this one a good listen later today. smile

    I'll give my opinion then wink

  20. ATONEMENT is really good, I think. There's a moment there where it gets a bit Philip Glass-ish, but the 'Denouement' and 'Atonement' tracks are pretty devastating.

    That's my favorite one too. Is Eastern Promises in the same vein as this one Michael? Worth the purchase?

    Played today: Becoming Jane (Adrian Johnston), The Holiday (Zimmer) (because I watch the movie sunday night and wanted to revisit it) and Without a Clue by Mancini.

    Well steady on there a second, according to good old Ralph, it will be remembered as long as:
    (i) a lot of people work hard on it! - CHECK
    (ii) it's based on a famous book that will stand the test of time; - CHECK
    (iii) someone - preferably Peter Jackson - one day makes a sequel or a prequel. - UH-OH... New Line ain't ever going to make those sequels now. That's why Peter Jackson's lawsuit got settled all of a sudden. rolleyes
    wink


    I heard that!!!

    Now, just a moment. Taken out of context my assumption might sound a bit weird. When I said famous book I meant legendary, beloved-by-millions, will-stand-all-tests-of-time book. LOTR is a totally different "famous" than "His Dark Materials" will ever be.

    And as much as I liked the score for Golden Compass, it is nowhere near LOTR, simply because the setting is less epic, the story is... well, we´ll see... and the whole atmosphere is totally different. GC just doesn´t need what LOTR had. That doesn´t mean it is a worse score.

    Agreed. I expect to have A LOT of fun in theatre...

    But this looks like a very short, I-Tunes-only release... what a shame.

    Agree! The first track is a total surprise! Too bad there´s only 22 minutes available. From what we can hear, this deserves a full release.
    As Ralph says, I expect great fun in the theater, both for the movie and the score.

    EASTERN PROMISES does have a lot of thematic beauty, with again an Eastern European lilt, and prominent solo violin. I think it's very much worth the purchase, though I can't say I prefer it to THE YARDS.

    Even I, lukewarm about JNH at the best of times, think Lady in the Water is excellent.
