    Nope, it's Peter Antovski using Zur's theme(s) this time around. A much better choice! His use of the main theme is used to much better effect here. A cross between the synthy stuff Sean Callery produces, coupled with typical Tyler sounding percussion writing (but synthy).

    As for the game, there's a lot more ''go in an blow EVERYTHING up'' objectives and not really much stealth. They've refined a lot of little thing now though which make it more enjoyable - vehicle handling is better, you auto pick up ammo, and you can dual wield more guns. smile
  1. NP: Forrest Gump - Alan Silvestri

    A perfect choice (to me, at least) for a morning listen. cool

    SHE - Max Steiner

    There are many brilliant moments in this score.
    It takes a few listens but it's right up there with King Kong.

    Next: Son Of Kong / The Most Dangerous Game - Steiner

    NP: "The Journey Begins" and "End Credits" from Homeward Bound - Bruce Broughton

    This is very important score for me (along with the bunny killer score wink )... I remember when I saw the movie as a kid, and noticed how much I loved "film music that are not songs". I could hum the great main theme after seeing the film only once. This is my favorite theme to hum & whistle even now (as well as themes from another my favorite score).

    But these are only 2 tracks I have crazy Hope there will be a re-release...

    I could say almost the exact same thing verbatim. This is one of my favorites movies from my childhood, and may have been one of the movies to start me on my film music journey. I certainly remember humming the main theme when I was little, and I was lucky to acquire the album just last year!

    The sun is shining, I'm happy because there's only one more week at work before I go on holiday, so what better way to celebrate than by listening to Elmer Bernstein - John Wayne Volume Two. Currently on The Shootist - how has this score not been released properly!?

    NP : CROSSING TO AFRICA - Various Artists

    Fantastic compilation by Martin ( Tintin ) that some of you here are familiar with.

    Very enjoyable cool

    This is an excellent compilation, the tracks flow perfectly into eachother. For me it's very energizing as well. I play it very often!

    It is very well done. I prefer Martin's 'Asia' compilation but both work as great travelogues.

    The Shootist was on TV yesterday evening, a superb film it is too.

    Where you off on Holiday James?

    My journey began with it (and TLK) too, literally. smile

    By the way I noticed it was released by Intrada, not Disney. I'm wondering if they still have the right...

    I believe it was the last film Ron Howard did in front of the camera (Shootist). Never been a fan of John Wayne (can't like everyone) but it was hard to watch him dying.
    listen to more classical music!

    NP: From Russia with Love - John Barry

    I'm planning on listening to all of the Bond scores at least once before Quantum of Solace comes out. It's been a while since I've listened to most of these, so it should be a great ride.
  2. NP: Alone in the Dark by Olivier Derieviere

    Nice soundtrack with vocals reminding me of Earthsea, I must say Bregt nailed it down in his review so no reason further to write my impressions down here wink

    7 out of 10

    I understand and agree with that, but then I am disturbed too by Charlton Heston's work for the NRA, Disney's attitude in the McCarthy era, Wagner's opinion of jews,

    While these personal traits will always stain any memory, the good and worthwhile these individuals have created should, in my opinion, be acknowledged as well.
    Personally I think The Shootist is a very powerful and very personal film for the Duke, where of course he was already dying (and knew he was- from cancer contracted from filming -of all things- a Djengis Khan bio-epic in the Nevada Desert during a time of atomic tests), and dies "in the saddle, with that other Golden Age legend, Jimmy Stewart, at his side.
    A true and proper swan song.

    NP: S.W.A.T. - Elliot Goldenthal
    An excellent and exciting score, which owes not a little to the early seventies' blaxplotation film scores. smile Great percussive elements, quite funky, and so very well mastered for CD: a joy to listen to, and a brilliant adrenalin kick.
