    I'm surprised to hear you say that. They sound very similar to me. And most of all, mickey-mousing! Your arch nemesis!

    Edit: and the comparison works now too (the link was broken).

    Because there's not enough space for the URLs to both the Powell site and my little Lost project. Frankly, The Four Trombones has taken higher priority as since Hancock, it's been dead quiet on the Powell side of things.

    Woah, somebody likes Powell! wink It's a good, fun score. A pleasant listening experience and i like it. Although Powell seems to be running out of tricks fast, a change of pallet would be so welcome.

    I think Bolt is pretty music scraping the barrel for new ideas.
  17. The best by Powell, yes. Not the best overall.

    It's underrated, it sure is, and deserves more attention. But I still vote for Horton Hears a Who for the year's best. Not just the year's best Powell, but the year's best score overall! At least so far.

    I appreciated Stop-Loss, certainly, but it's not one I would choose to listen to very often. Hancock has some terrific moments and is easily Powell's best of the year I think (though I haven't heard Bolt yet).

    STOP LOSS, having also watched the movie it accompanies, is easily the best Powell effort from this year, imo. I revisit it frequently.

    I like Stop-Loss. It has its moments, especially the amazing finale, but I don't come back to it as much as his more energetic works such as Horton or Hancock.

    Powell's orchestrator John Ashton Thomas was interviewed at Animated Views! shocked

    Animated Views » Bolt: John Ashton Thomas - one bold, Bolt orchestrator!


    Animated Views is really becoming a nice place for animation & film music fans... lick
    They did lots of interviews including film composers.

    From the Sleeping Beauty restoration article -

    "...when we started restoring this, we also do audio restorations which I think if you listen to any of the DVDs, we’ve gone back and we’ve cleaned up the tracks and done what we’ve called a Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix, which is kind of trying to do a surround spread. Obviously with other titles we’re limited to the mono mix and could only do a ‘fake’ spread, but with this particular title, when we started researching the elements and picked out the sound elements to do the cleanup and the mix, we found these original score recordings that were recorded in Berlin in 1958, the original 3-track. And it was like, ‘Wooh, gold, we found it.’ So, what we did is take those 35mm 3-tracks of the music scoring. We digitized them into Pro-Tools. We then had a music editor and match cut those to what was in the movie. We cleaned it up, we reduced the noise, we equalized it, and then we gave it to our Academy Award-nominated mixer Terry Porter, who does all of our animated Platinum mixes, and he was able to do an amazing 5.1 and 7.1 Disney Enhanced Home Theater mix.

    Obviously, the 7.1 is unique to the Blu-ray and I have this incredible theatrical demo that I do where I playback the original version of the movie - which is beautiful and nice - and then we open it up to the 7.1. And it’s a great - it’s an incredible experience. The music surrounds you, especially if you think about setting this up in your home theater, you’re going to be just completely surrounded by this beautiful score. And that is just a great bonus that you get. You’d still get the 5.1 on standard DVD, but the 7.1 truly is a unique experience and we were so lucky to have these original 3-track recordings. That really made the difference. We were able to do this.”

    Oh gosh, fingers crossed for an isolated score track!! Hopefully for Bolt too tongue
