    And you know what mate? It REALLY baffles me how come it is SO underrated. Is it the movie it accompanies? Is it the weird title? 'Cause musically speaking, it is perhaps Doyle's most passionate and melodic, breathtaking score out there and it's SO odd that so few people are actually aware of it!

    NP: Godzilla - David Arnold

    Most here know that I'm a HUGE fan of this score. I think it's an absolutely PERFECT action score and one of the best of the 90's. Anyway, one thing that really impresses me is Shawn Murphy's recording. Whether it's the mastering or that Murphy changed up styles to match what Arnold wanted or not this could quite possibly be Shawn Murphy's greatest achievement... right up there with his glorious recording of Williams' Summon the Heroes album and The Phantom Menace. Usually, the man records stuff with sooooo much reverb and soooo much bass that it's almost impossible to enjoy the music itself. But in this case Murphy managed to balance everything out perfectly. When that bass drum pounds away, or those growling trombones blast away... you can really feel it! But, unlike other Murphy recordings the low frequencies don't over modulate or get in the way of the rest orchestra. Really powerful stuff and my hat's off to Murphy. Well done!

    No one has heard of it. It's the same thing that plagued Christopher Gordon's brilliant ON THE BEACH. There is really nothing that you can do but try and point out these gems to other people and hope they take a chance.

    As Erik says, it's not so much that it's underrated, rather than it's just not rated, because nobody's heard it. They should, though.

    NP: Mom and Dad Save the World - Jerry Goldsmith

    Not his finest hour, perhaps, but it's a really fun album featuring a delightful main theme.

  6. NP: Legend of Butch and Sundance (Poledouris)

    Good stuff.

    (And good review of RAIDERS, James! I like this one: "being an exceptionally young man myself, I can only imagine how film music fans felt when they were watching this film in the cinema and heard this theme for the first time.")

    While I didn't see the film in the cinema I can still remember that Monday afternoon when I was a young tyke, watching the movie with my Mom for the very first time. What a thrill.

    GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!!

    Strangely enough I was brought up on Temple of Doom. It was one of about five films I would watch incessantly on video. (We didn't have Raiders on video.)

    James, I completely agree with you. Temple came first, Raiders second and Crusade third.

    And while you guys all drool and rave about Raiders and Godzilla, I just find them overrated. I've already discussed why in a previous "now playing thread", so I'll just leave it at that.

    I bought 'Raiders' on LP when it was first released, can you believe that I was "totally unimpressed" at that time and played Goldsmith's Outland which came out at the same time far more shocked

    Hey I was young rolleyes Seeing the film a few Months later was a near religious experience cool

    NP: This Girl for Hire - Bruce Broughton

    The soundclips have officially sold me on this score. I'm usually not a fan of jazz music (at least not in large amounts), but the theme is just so richly seductive and the orchestration is subtle and colorful, even if it does betray the decade it was composed in.

  15. NP: Highlights from DAS RHEINGOLD and GOTTERDAMMERUNG

    Having now listened to an audio essay which introduces the listener to the motific development of Wagner's Ring Cycle I can now understand why people so confidently claim that no film score has ever reached these heights. Truly incredible! (Particularly in the concluding sections of GOTTERDAMMERUNG.)

    NP: Atlantis - The Lost Empire - James Newton Howard

    IMO this excellent score was the strongest factor in one of Disney's not-so-good animated films. I only watched a part of it on the TV, but while the plot and animation seemed rather weak, the music is amazing, both on screen and the CD. Action cues like "The Leviathan" and 'Just Do It" fit perfectly with the visuals and "Going After Rourke" is a simply superb piece of work with a terrific crescendo and the main theme in a great performance! Brilliant stuff punk

    NP:Prisoner of Azkaban (John Williams)

    One of my top 10 Williams scores. YES! It is!.

    Pure feeling of magic and medieval!

    I don't like very much the action stuff, but the softer stuff is SO GOOD!

    "double trouble" and "window to the past" themes are so good.... "buckbeacks Fligh" so Magic...."forward to time past" so original....

    I rarely used to listen to this before I watched the movie, but when I noticed how nicely it fit in with the visuals, I began to like it better. I only wish it had a prominent main theme... but I like it anyway wink
