The repetition of the two "danger motifs" he first employed in Lord Of the Rings does get annoying, though. As do the weird guitar effect and the constant wailing Mordor choir. Honestly without wanting to sound smug or spiteful, but as far as dopeyness goes, this score has Poledouris' ones beat.

Robocop 3 - Basil Poledouris
Honestly, it is a bit of a relief to return to more prefered grounds.
I do wish he had used that massive RoboCop theme more in this score, though. It only makes a full-blooded appearance in the cue Death Of Lewis.
Oh well. It's Rock Shop on repeat after this one!

Any Glass influence ( intentional or otherwise ) is minimal ( "ouch!" ), if anything there's a few nods to Goldsmith, Barry & Morricone but it's all wonderfully wrapped up in a Poledouris dressing.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

The Four Feathers - James Horner
This is one album which could really benefit from being a bit shorter, but it's quite good. Not as easy to warm to as most of his other recent scores, I think. -

An example of my film music purchasing lunacy... I was at Intrada's site a while back because I want to buy their release of Shogun but need something to go with it. I saw The Blue and the Gray by Broughton and thought I'd get that one. For some reason, something happened and I never got around to completing the purchase. Anyway, I was just tidying up a few things and what should I notice on my CD shelf but The Blue and the Gray, still in its shrinkwrap. I must have bought it when it first came out. So that's what I'm now playing. Only just started - not entirely promisingly, I have to say - and there's two hours to go yet. Wonder how far I'll get. -

Absolutly. the action stuff is quite original (for be a Horner) and the 2 main themes are really touching. The last track is incredibly moving!
IMHO is far better the overrated The missing, from the same year.

Kung Fu panda reminded me this Goldsmith Classic.
The realeased album is too short, and the promo too long.
The tracks are short, so it makes a terribly listening experience.
Even with that the themes are impressive, the action tracks are some of the most energic action music ever penned by Goldsmith.
( I even like short hair alternate) -

Crimes of the Heart - Georges Delerue
One of the only scores with a prominent saxophone that I enjoy. This is just another score I never would have heard if not for the excellent Great Composers disc. I love Delerue! -

One of those rare times that I completely agree with you, Jordi. I just rented the film as well. Looking forward to it.
NP: Georges Delerue: Great Composers - Georges Delerue
Finally getting around to listening to some Delerue. This is one of my all time favorite compilations albums which is a collection of tracks taken from the London Sessions re-recordings produced by Varese in the late 80's and early 90's. Delerue is arguably one of the very best tune smith's film music has ever seen. His gift for melody is showcased throughout this two wonderful CD set. I'd have to say that the "Steel Magnolias" suite, "Something Wicked This Way Comes" suite and the "Agnes of God" suite are my favorites... but how can you pick favorites with so many gems all on one albums. Stunning music! And the Platoon theme... WOW!

I have the original 3 separate volumes of the London Sessions, and indeed, it is an AWESOME set.
p.s. some suites, Agnes of God & True Confessions are taken from the original soundtracks.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Is it coincidence that you happen to be talking about the same compilation as me, or did you think I didn't do a good enough job advertizing it, Erik?
It IS one of the best compilations, ever. And so much of it is oop or never was in print. I also love the "Agnes of God" suite. My other favorites are the Platoon theme, and the "Rich and Famous" suite. And my favorite suite on the album by far (BY FAR!) is from "Memories of Me." That is some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. If I had to make a list of my favorite 10 cues, that would be on it. -

Excellent score; the ethnic references are done in such a subtle, refined and metered (as in non-RC, non-Kiner etc) way and there are some very touching themes in there; that "letters" (or something like that) cue is fantastic.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I've never been able to get into that one? I'm in the biggest Horny mood... er... I mean Horner mood ever at the moment, and it was a long time ago since I listened to it. Methinks a revisit is in order.

An odd coincidence you mention that. My friend recently asked me if I had the soundtrack and that particular track, and when I sent it to him, he was ecstatic! I love being the Score Guy. I love it.

I really like both THE MISSING and FOUR FEATHERS, for my part, but I do agree about the overlength of both. Two of the better adventure scores I've heard in this decade.
Good to see you playing Delerue, Erik! His music is wonderful. Do you have A Man in Love, or A Summer Story, neither of which appear on that compilation? (Of that compilation, I found myself returning to the suite for A Little Sex a lot - it's as though I suddenly 'got' that one.) Perhaps it's time to create my own Delerue compilation, which covers some of the many missing highlights from the Varese/London Sessions discs.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

A Summer Story is a personal favourite of mine. Something about it weighs very heavy on the ol' ticker... his string writing was phenomenal.
Anyway, on with my Horner obsession of late:

It was thanks to Erik that I discovered this little gem (well, more accurately it was thanks to Erik I got it when I did. I still would have wanted it in the end, but it wouldn't have been so high on my wishlist if I had not heard it on his radio show beforehand). And yes, I get the irony with it being called 'Radio'.
Only 25 minutes, but it leaves you wanting more. Which is a good thing really. -
