I swear the snack machine keeps tabs on when people rip it off. For every time it give me two items for the price of one, on another occasion it will take my money and give me nothing. Evil!! -

Why not punish it by asking it to go to your house and fetch the CD? -

Because then I'll be in its debt again, and I don't want to risk it!
Has anyone else got the score yet? I'm interested to hear what people think. -

P.S., I Love You - My two cents
Or more specifically, my $16.99
- For those of you wanting to know what tracks are from the sampler, it's the first seven, plus "Kitchen Waltz" and "Last Tune".
- "To Eire" - cool.
- Powell's favourite four notes return right at the end of "On The Lake" (the very end of this will remind people of Happy Feet).
- The same notes appear even more obviously in "Home Again"
- "The Meeting" - brings back memories of Spain. I think the live version actually sounded better as this one is drowned out by guitars and the cimbalom. I love Powell's use of the cimbalom in his scores (and it's almost becoming "his instrument"), but can he lay off it just for once?! If anyone still wants a copy of the live version then send me a PM.
- "The Kiss" is a more accurate version of what we heard in Ubeda.
- I think I get the reasoning behind the track titled "Enough". Not because it has any relevance to a scene in the film, but because John Powell got sick of writing and hired Thomas Newman to write this cue. Take a listen.
- The rest of this album is pure fluff. The best cues (aside a couple) were on the promo, but the rest is merely "good" music. Another perfectly acceptable score by Powell, but that's about as far as it goes. Didn't expect it to be anything mindblowing, and it's not, but it still delivers the regular goods. Let that be your guide for whether you pick it up or not.
3.0/5.0

I'm done with it. As predicted, it's run its course and is now just another nice score in Powell discography. And I'm done with P.S., I Love You too, and I only got that 3 days ago... -

Well it looks like there's going to be a Kung Fu Panda soundtrack:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0018Q7K5S/
Judging by how the producers have said the movie is going to have little or no songs in it, I hope this will be a score CD. -

Yeah, but I don't know why, I think it's gonna be confirmed soon or late... -

It's interesting how IMDB list random stuff...sometimes an orchestrator but not the conductor, sometimes the editor but not the mixer. -

Jackman wrote additional music for Kung Fu Panda...
Perhaps it's the beginning of a new friendship...
Or maybe Hans just wanted to get rid of one of his assistants : "Hey John, we need to talk... "

Do you really think Up Is Down from POTC 3 (arranged by Jackman) is a Zimmer immitation ? -

Yes.
But that is my favourite cue in the score (but it gets very Zimmerish at the end). -

Jackman only did a little arrengement with the "jig" thing. "up is down" is very close to "spirit Stallion of Cimarron" heroic theme. -

ANTHONY: Do you know anything about a King Lear film which was scored by Patrick Doyle... and
had some connection with John Powell? I didn't release they worked together!

I've never heard anything about Doyle, Powell and a King Lear movie all together, however way back in the early days Powell was one of Doyle's assistants, occasionally providing additional music on scores like Into The West and Much Ado About Nothing. -

Interesting? I'd prefer to hear about him working more with the likes of Doyle than Zimmer.
Better still, howzabout 100% Powell? The Williams, Barry's, Goldsmith's, Poledouris, Bernstein's, Legrand's, Schifrin's, Herrmann's, Rozsa's, Newman's etc etc etc didn't need any assistance to the extent that many modern composers need.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

There must be a reason. Stop Loss, United 93, Gigli and Two Weeks Notice had no additional composers on, but they're not exactly the "big" scores of Powell's career. -
