Better the second time around. This time listening due to my little research in Indian music for something. Not that it sounds very Indian, alas
. Not the best effort ever, but a really nice theme even if combining Horner with some John Barry sensibilties. Also using his typical chord progression at times, though not as evidently as in say Bubba-Ho-Tep, Children of Dune or even Rambo's dramatic theme.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Ahhhhh that's heartwarming to hear guys
As I may have said elsewhere, my Mother ( RIP ) had a fine taste in my film scores and particularly loved Miklos Rozsa and would often request me to play her something from Ben-Hur, King of Kings etc.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Forgot to mention, both my parents loved the PoTC scores. "What Shall We Die For" got a very rare appraisal from Dad!

My dad and I were listening to an assortment of Thomas Newman scores last night, we had a great time.
NP: Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events - Thomas Newman
He was surprisingly fond of this one, in particular two of the finale cues One Last Look and The Letter That Never Came, both utterly gorgeous.

Somehow I've always been postponing getting Tom Newman scores. I love them but the only cd of his I have are Shawshank & Good German (plus Angels in America online). I came very close to buying Lemony Snickets just for two cues- The Letter That Never Came Home & Drive away. The former is yet another Newman beauty and the latter is just perfect for the end credit graphics. Very addictive! -

Lost Season 3 Michael Giacchino
Perhaps my favourite of the three... I dunno. I love 'em all!
Same here, definitely my favorite of the three so far. Shame season 4 wasn't so interesting, music-wise (granted i haven't watched the last 3 episodes yet).
I guess it's good that those last 3 episodes will change your mind then! FREIGHTER THEME!!!! And another epic NEW one!

Fist listen: CRAIG ARMSTRONG - the incredible hulk
The opening 2 titles, the 2nd being the MAIN TITLE are very impressive, raw and aggressive with a distinct Elfman (of HULK, RED DRAGON) quality in them and the same goes for the inferno of " 10. That Is the Target. " or the kick-ass "22.Hulk theme"
But not long 'till the standard Armstrong dramatisms (enriched with interesting middle-easter percussion vibe) and very intense Powell's BOURNE-isms ("The Flower") take on.
God is POWELL's Bourne effective on everyone or not?!?
The wholly (well, the vast majority at least) orchestral nature is a very pleasant surprise though.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

NP: Best of the Decade (2000 - 2007) - Various Artists
"Coming Home from the Sea" from The Perfect Storm (James Horner)
I LOVE this score. A true James Horner score with a wonderful theme and some intense action highlights. This opening cue gives you everything you'd might hope from a solid, original Horner score and that guitar riff as "the boys" come home is great.
-Erik-
Couldn´t agree more. One of Horner´s best, and one that I play very frequently. The main theme and its many variations are great, and the almost 80 minutes of score are a total pleasure to listen to no matter how many times you´ve heard it. Horner at his best!Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

Yep, that's why I've been playing it lately. Very good film, especially the shot of Shasha's hanging dead body, quite a shocking moment. -

I know! My parents divorced 10 years ago but I go to see my dad every Thursday. And this is what we do, listen to scores and have a chat over a few beers, it's great. I arrive with my iPod, connect it to the 5.1 speakers and just chill. He's the only person I know who shares at least some of my enthusiasm for film music and he's always really excited to hear any new scores I may have received that week. He likes everything I like, especially James Newton Howard - he's a fan of Blood Diamond, King Kong and Signs in particular - they certainly get a lot of playtime when I'm there. But yeah, he likes Tom Newman a lot too, since his music is always great to chill out and unwind to. I feel so lucky, the most enthusiasm I've detected from my mom was when a bit of American Beauty was playing in the background of a TV documentary and she said "I like that music...", but since then, nothing. Oh well, 1 out of 2 isn't bad.

NP: Arn - Tempelriddaren (The Knight Templar) - Tuomas Kantelinen
Only if I had heard this score in 2007 because it would have easily made my Top 10. This is a pleasant surprise... but I shouldn't really be surprised because I've always enjoyed Kantelinen's work. The choral music in this score is stunning. It's beautiful, free flowing music. There are few action cues that unfortunately break the nice flow of the album but overall this is solid film music from one of film music's rising talents. And the song "Snö Framförd Av Laleh" is achingly beautiful. These are the kinds of songs that I like... the way they perfectly blend into the score and don't sound like some cheap pop tune plopped in over top of the end credits to make a few more bucks. Well done, Tuomas. Looking forward to more of your work! Highly recommended!

I rarely listen to this score. Although it's big and epic, the four note danger motif KILLS the score and the Schindler's List inspired theme is a distraction for me. And there should have been NO MUSIC during the opening battle sequence. This is a great example of over scoring. Less would have been much more... and less Da-Da-Da-Daaaaaa would have helped greatly.

A very valid point there, I certainly agree about the battle sequence. Some parts of this score work great in the film, it just needed less of it. The four note danger motif doesn't bother me like it does for other people, but I can certainly understand why it bothers people.
The Schindler's List inspired theme is his Balto theme, and although does share the same first few sequence of notes as the first few notes in Schindler's List, it goes off in enough of a different direction for me not to keep thinking "oh, that's Schindler's List".
Great album IMO, especially when you shorten the total running time. -
