    No kidding. Extraordinary score! It would be great if someone like Intrada released this commercially.

    JAMES HORNER - Boy in The Striped Pyjamas

    Starting to like it a lot, the main theme and the general piano usage are very soothing.


    It's another meditative listen but it doesn't really do anything special. It's standard piano/synth driven Horner which we have heard in countless scores. Nothing special here. Save your money. BTW, the danger motif has to DIE!!!

    Long live the Nockmaar motif!!! punk punk

    Anne Rice: I thought it was The Vampire Lestat that was the interminable one. Covered some interesting grounds, but made me feel I had to trek across a couple of galaxies to cover them. Interview was nice and succint. And if her style is jaded and old fashioned it's probably because her heroes are jaded and old fashioned. Of course a 200-years-old vampire would write in a begone-era style. But of course I'm in the middle of the Tale of the Body Thief right now, and can't wait for that agonizing to reach a resolution.

    Poseidon: I likes it too.

    Wow! shocked
    How interesting! For me it was the exact other way 'round!
    I thought Lestat offered far more interaction, dialogue and interesting twists then the terminally semi-introspective Interview, but then Interview was seriously hyped and I was sorely disappointed in my expectations.

    And if her style is jaded and old fashioned it's probably because her heroes are jaded and old fashioned. Of course a 200-years-old vampire would write in a begone-era style.


    Yeah, well, ten out of ten for style, minus several million for retaining interest. slant

I'm completely in love with them and I consider my attendance to "The Lord of the Rings Symphony" three years ago to be one of the most unforgetable experiences of my life so far.

    I wouldn't go as far as saying it was one of Williams "all time best" or D's superlatives but it's certainly a very fine and enjoyable score.

    It took me a while to appreciate the score of Memoirs, but once I had seen the movie three times, it suddenly clicked. I wouldn't say it's on of his best ever (he wrote more instantly classic scores than this), but it's definitely up there with the best of the past decade. 4 stars for sure.

    That's it! Exactly! The greatest appeal of her books is the cult following and the "club" mentality that follows their reading with discussed with other fans. The act of reading them itself is only rarely tremendously entertaining (the very beginning of The Vampire Lestat did that to me, as did bits of Queen of the Damned, but over all the interesting bits are way too far apart, padded with too much stuff), but being part of the "fandom" is the real reward.

    Memoirs of a Geisha: Quite quite lovely indeed, but personally I feel the post-2000 Williams never got so stirring and sublime as in Angela's Ashes. You say you enjoy Geisha from note 1 till the end, but for me it has a little too many semi-melodic moments (like Seven Years in Tibet and Munich), whereas Angela truly has me swaying along through the whole thing.

    The Incredible Hulk - Episodics Collection Volume One
    Music Composed by Joe Harnell

    This CD contains music from the Incredible Hulk pilot movie and the second pilot called 'A Death In The Family' . Lots of exciting and memorable cues on this one . And who doesn't know the emotional piece , 'The Lonely Man Theme' ? Maybe this CD isn't for everybody , but if you're a BIG fan of the Hulk tv-series like me then this is a must buy ...

    The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas - Horner

    Exceptional. He hasn't been quite so blatant in his borrowings of late, but it's comparatively easy to get past that when the music's as good as this. Easily the year's best score album.


    What a surprise! tongue

    You and Broxton are pro-Horner.

    OH god...How I hate when horner plays the theme with strings and then he "inserts" a touch of Piano. I don't know if anyone understand me, but it's a thing Horner is doing in every score since Titanic.

    This morning I tried to play The Perfect Storm, one of my favourites from Horner, and while the action stuff and the electric guitars are terrific, I find his themes more, and more sacharine. sad


    He's not a composer with a subtle touch, for the most part. Mind you, not everything is ALL THE KING'S MEN, but you don't get him to score your film if you want scenes to err on the side of ambiguity.

    For some reason I decided to dig out and listen to a few older 78's. I had a listen to GI Jive, Accent-tchu-ate the Positive (Used in LA Confidental) from Johnny Mercer. These were Capitol recordings. I also had a listen to Jungle Book a (3) record set of the Rozsa soundtrack on RCA. I was looking for Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy but I couldn't find it. Rats

    One of my favorite Goldsmith scores, and also one of my favorite Goldsmith-scored movies. It's rare one hears a score that's just fresh and fun to listen to all the way through. Not only are the themes catchy, but there are several quirky ideas in the music as well. The barking dog sound effect gets me every time.
