    NP: Arn - Knight Templar - TUOMAS KANTELINEN

    Quite simply one of the most beautiful scores to come out in a long time!

    Some sections have a Goldsmithian "nobility" to its themes plus a sprinkle of John Barry.

    Overall though it's mostly original Kantelinen style scoring.

    Give it a couple of spins and you'll soon fall under its spell.

    Stunning! cool

    Varese Sarabande: A 30th Anniversary Celebration

    A great sampler series of Varese's last five years of output. I wish that more record labels made releases like this. It's a good way to try out new scores. From the 25th Anniversary, I picked up many CD's based on the tracks I liked on those albums. It's a good exposure to music that I might otherwise overlook or not be interested in the whole CD of.


    Agreed. It's so long I haven't even got through it all yet! And I enjoy the improved mixing (even though I only hear it on the tracks I already know!)

    Wheeeehoooooo!! Music!
    Haven't really listened to anything for three weeks!! I took discs with me on vacation, but it was in the car in the background because the kids were watching movies as well and the car made a lot of noise too. And then the second week of vacation at home the kids were at home as well, so I couldn't really play anything loud either then. This is the first day at home alone in three weeks!

    And I'm playing the symphonic 2 disc set of Hans Zimmer... it doesn't sound too good, but some tracks are nice I guess (especially after three weeks abstinence). The only good thing is to hear a different version for a change and to be reminded of scores I haven't listened to in a while, for instance Thin Red Line. The Village is gorgeous track.

    And Roll Tide rocks! punk
    Remember this was one of my first scores. I feel kind of sorry for people who haven't heard Crimson Tide when it came out. I'm sure it was so much better then than it would be now on a first listen!

    This performance is really not good... something's wrong with the tempo too it seems?

    The only good thing i can say is I like Irina's theme and the Skull's motif.

    And the only thing good I can do is not talk about this score very much. I only hope the movie will be better.

    Any particular reason why "Finale" is edited so badly?

    Anyway, I shut up. I don't want Steven jumping again over me.


    What? Not even with high heels and baby oil!? biggrin


    I'm sure we can arrange something.

    Don't listen to Jordi, that's my advice.

    Heck, the first time I heard Battle of the Heroes even I wasn't that impressed... now I can't get enough of it! I'm expecting the same thing to happen with this new Indy score.

    Lost Season 3 Michael Giacchino

    Yuh, I'm addicted to it. I think I prefer the quieter reflective moments, that's the album's strength IMO.

    Nah, not everything. "Irina´s Theme" is very good, and Williams´ version of Basic Instinct´s main theme is pretty good too.

    There aren't really any extended action pieces in Lost. I found myself wanting to listen to the score, but I wanted something that would be loud for a long time. The closest Lost cue we've got is ''World's Worst Beach Party''. All there really is on the season 3 disc is ''Awed And Shocked'' and the beginning of ''Sweet Expose''. slant

    Still, the album is awesome and I can't praise Giacchino enough for it. biggrin beer

    No, I still find battle of the Heroes pretty generic and a little bit annoying.

    But the rest of the score contains enought impressive tracks. Specially the first and the las 2 tracks WICH ARE PRETTY DAMN GOOD.


    NP: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulll

    I really like the new version of the raider's march in the "finale" track, A great and welcomed surprise.

    I still think the same about the rest of the score.

    The Jungle Chase is pretty good. The only real "adventure" and "indy" track of the whole score IMHO.

    Iriana's theme in the beggining (wich is like the nazi's theme from the third movie), the march rythms are very strong, Raider's march new arregengement is cool....Sadly this annoying Mutt's theme (wich is even worst than Shortrounds theme)

    1-Can you enjoy Mutt's theme? (much better in the last track with accordion )

    2-Do you like the more War of the worlds-like action stuff ? Too disonant and again overusing the flutes and the Timpanis?

    3-Do you not find a little bit repetitive the Skull's theme? (even if it's terribly good)

    4-And finally...Do you not think this copy and paste of themes with sudden change of tempo (even with the orchestra stopping abrubtely) in the finale track is a little bit lazy?

    thanks kiss
  24. KOTCS is definitely one of the best scores this year.

    I don't understand what should be wrong with Mutt's theme....

    Well if someone could tell us something other than ''this bit's annoying, and the only good thing is this'' I would be a lot happier.... rolleyes

    And NOTHING can be more annoying than Shortround's theme... tongue

    There's nothing annoying unless you're like Nautilus (I'm sure he will be the only one in this forum who doesn't like it). This is just a very well done score.

    I can say a little bit more things, but comming from me probably could be the beggining of a fight.

    And I don't want this. So I think my opinion is clear, specially in my last post (asking some questions to Antineutrino)

    Anyway...

    NP:Indiana Jones and KOTCS

    It is an indy score, and it has good moments. The bad things, can't denny It's an score from one of the maestros.

    Seriously, if what you're talking about is brass, timpani and woodwinds, this is going to rock.

    My rating: * * 1/2 (plus half a star for disguising so good Basic Instinct´s main theme). Tones of underscore, the comic motif is easy and simple, not enough action material (I assume there is more in the film).
    "Irina´s Theme" (and its different arrangements), "Jungle Chase" (the only real action track) and the motif related to the "Skull" or the Aliens (?) (I can´t find a better way to define it without the visuals) are great though.
