    the orchestral / choral bits of Gladiator have also well passed onto stuff like HGW'S KINGDOM OF HEAVEN and METAL GEAR SOLID scores, BADELT'S INVINCIBLE and EQUILIBRIUM, JOHN DEBNEY'S PASSION OF THE CHRIST, BRIAN TYLER'S CHILDREN OF DUNE - just to name a few but also bits of Doyle's work from the last 2-3 years or so and Game scores in general.


    You make a compelling point.

    Plus the general notion after GLADIATOR that every epic war film should sound like GLADIATOR.


    Well, there haven't been that many epic war films.
    None, in fact, I think, and when they are scores it's always with that same elegiac Band Of Brothers sound which is starting to seriously get on my tits (yeah yeah yeah, it's all terrible and horrible and very sad indeed. Yawn.)
    However, I would support your case in the sense that we hear this sound in a lot of epic battle scenes in, generally, historic fantasy film.


    Blame Oliver Stone and Barber's Adagio wink

    I´m not sure, but it´s possible. I remember wondering about them at my first listen (which was on the day the score came out).

    NP: Happy Feet - John Powell

    No big deal, but happy fluff. It makes me smile.

    No, he already used it in scores like Commando or Red Heat.

    That's right!

    Maybe the score to WILLOW popularised it in fantasy / ethnic scores?

    NP:Black- Michael Giacchino and Chris Tilton

    A great video game score again! I'm listening to Trenseka Border Crossing right now... how amazingly they combined the main theme with suspenseful spiccato strings!! Other great tracks are A Bridge Too Close, Gulag Gauntlet, Sniper Alley and Minefield. Lovin' it, man! punk


    Indeed, top stuff. Are you a fan of Mercenaries too?

    Yep! I love the main theme and tracks like Destination DMZ, Mercenary without a cause, Swedish Fireballs and ALL of the final 4-5 tracks are terrific!! beer

    I seldom post when I'm listening to a score so this one is more of a recently played than now playing-

    RP: Armand Amar - Le Premier Cri

    Delightful! Beautiful score with ethnic touches and some Glass-like cues smile

    NP: Hatari! - the one and only Henry Mancini punk
    Great little score that features some great laid-back big band jazz, some unexpectedly fine and interesting action pieces and of course the incomparable and brilliant Baby Elephant Walk!
    Fantastic!

    You can give a lot of things.

    Hmm.

    You know that box set of the complete scores to all three Pirates films, autographed by Zimmer and everyone who works at Remote Control? Yes, I know you have it.

    You should give me that. smile
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    NP: Hellboy - Marco Beltrami

    The "complete" version (or bootleg, or whatever. The two CD variant anyway).
    I wonder if it holds my interest throughout as much as the commercial release does?
    I've always only added the B.P.R.D. suite to my commercial release for my listening pleasure. Well. We'll see.
    So far so good. A grand and epic sound, and excellent sound quality.

    NP: Kingdom of Heaven Recording Sessions - HGW
    An excellent score with a consistent tone and feel for two whole hours, and not quite like anything else in HGW's body of work. The random bits of Narnia, however, are very amusing. "Kerak Castle" begins exactly like "The Battle" begins.

    I found another Narnia bit... "Guy Power" uses the first 4 notes of the "Battle" theme from Narnia.

    I haven't listened to all the alternates yet, I have them all stuck at the end of the score so they don't interrupt the listening experience.

    I LOVE certain things by Barry, like Dances with Wolves and The Last Valley

    I just haven't heard much else by him, because I am afraid of that jazz/blues sound that I simply do not enjoy.

    Agree. Excellent music, and one of my favs from Gregson-Williams. The recording sessions are priceless.

    Yes, you´re right. And the choral work is very similar in both scores.
