NP : LE TRAIN - Philippe Sarde
I just love this score, it's propulsive, it's got great colourful orchestrations and such a warm atmospheric glow to it, and it's only 18 minutes long. ( and because of that it is the ONLY score I've never stopped playing half way through
)
Love it love it love it! It's probably up there amongst the most played scores that I have.

Shaaft! David Arnold
It's amazing that such Afro-American influenced music can come from a typical down-the-pub Brit as Arnold. This is great stuff, and particularity the last few tracks stand extremely well on their own!

NP: Flubber - Danny Elfman
As I mentioned elsewhere I'm really only familiar with the End Credit cue... which is a blast. It's been such a long time since I've given this one a spin and so far the opening cue is a great one. Sweeping strings, outstanding percussion, twinkling piano, trademark angelic choir, and a funky mombo rhythm. There's even a theremin in the score... AWESOME!!!
This is a zany, busy, and extremely well crafted score. It's a wonderful score that showcases Elfman's incredible talent for writing weird and wacky music but also making it so listener friendly. I would say that Elfman gave the film more than it deserved.
For those that just want to have some fun with their film music then this one is for you. The orchestrations alone are well worth the purchase of the album. Don't let the title turn you off.

Yeah, good stuff but the boot is missing the insanely addictive cue when Shaft is following the crook through the appartments and stairwells. I love that track.

Isaac Hayes theme song is a classic! And hey! I've even seen him perform it live!

NP: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country - Cliff Eidelman
My third favorite Trek score. Eidleman's new themes are exceptional and the opening "Overture" was the perfect approach to open this film with. No Wagnerian main theme, no traditional overture a la the other films... Eidleman began his score with a dead serious cue that is one of the series best opening "themes." Of course the Holst's influence are apparent but this was due to Nicholas Meyer's earlier attempts to license The Planet's for the film. Fortunately, the costs was too high therefore Eidelman used The Planet's as a blueprint while managing to give the film a voice of it's own.
The action set piece "The Battle for Peace" is very exciting. And I think Eidelman nailed the "Sign Off" cue mixing Courage's famous fanfare with the new Undiscovered Country theme. It worked like a charm.
And then you are left with the End Credit piece which is arguably the best of the series. A wonderful stand alone piece that manages to perfectly combine all of the important themes and musical motifs into one grand symphonic suite.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

PS - I think this is the first Trek score to use a chorus in "Rura Penthe."host and executive producer of THE CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST | www.cinematicsound.net | www.facebook.com/cinematicsound | I HAVE TINNITUS! -

Beowulf Alan Silvestri
The first time I listened to this one, I'll admit I was disappointed. I was expecting another classic Silvestri-Zemeckis collaboration with beautiful transcending themes and masterful subtly. And clearly that was a mistake. This is WAR! And I love it! -

There's nothing to continue about Steven. It's just that due to our culture,due to our genes perhaps we love in the extremes just in the hint that the other may deserve it (even sometimes they don't). With us is all and nothing.Giving to the other all and most of the times holding back nothing.Demetris can tell you if I tell the truth or not.
But I think this is the case with most people in love anyway,regardless of nationality.Whatever you gaze rests on,do not use your vision, but the eyes of your soul...She knows better... -

I just wish they said that sort of thing at film school because there aren't many directors around at the moment who would sympathise with the view in even the vaguest way (check out the film at number one at the box office at the moment for an example).
We do! We do! It's those bloody other teachers and film critics who give it a bad name...
There is some hope. For the next 4 years I'll be a student at a very good film school. Music will always be important for me, and I will be sure to always make it a big part in all of the films I make, if I ever get a job... -

Still, Beowulf is near the bottom of the barrel concerning Zemeckis/Silvestri scores.

A gorgeous little gem from the early nineties. Horner really excels at these smaller, more intimate films so it's also worth checking out The Spitfire Grill and To Gillian On Her 37th Birthday too, if you like this. Very touching stuff.

NP: The 13th Warrior - Jerry Goldsmith
Awesome action material intertwined with classic thematic loveliness is the order of the day in this score from 1999. Structurally and composition-wise similar as the more brilliant The Mummy (from the same year, duh) but Goldsmith is GOD when writing exciting stuff such as this. Crazy percussion and aggressive brass in the action cues sound all the better thanks to the excellent recording. LOVING IT.
