    ....and the last two tracks. The rest is kinda boring IMO.

    Don't think of them as "boring". Think of them more as a "challenging listen full of potential rewards with repeated listening."

    This arrived today. Couldn't stand more than a few minutes of it, so will try again later. Why oh why oh why would you pay to have a real orchestra and then put it through so much processing and bury it under so many cheap synths that you may as well have just used samples in the first place? How is it even possible to make such a grand ensemble sound this small? (It's possible through an extreme lack of skill, I guess.)

    Also, while several people have commented on this score, I have this odd suspicion that I am the only MT member that actually owns this physically on CD... cool

    Don't tell anyone but I also have the CD.


    You actually used legal tender for this? Damn.

    Call me old fashioned but I tend to get most of my music via legal means. wink

    I'm trying not to be too judgmental about this - I'm sure I would have been the same if they had such things as music downloads when I was a student. Even having a computer would have been nice!

    I have cues from Horner there too. There is also Zimmer, Morris, Williams, Shore, Rozsa, Gregson-Williams, Tyler and more.

    To be honest, I can't tell the difference between her score and Christopher Young's score. He was fired for political reasons from that film, not because his music was incredibly off course. But it does mean that if Young's average score is good, so is hers. wink

    Well, she wasn't hired to make choices on SPIDERMAN 3, to be fair. She was hired to do what Danny Elfman wouldn't do - rewrite pieces exactly from the earlier films. She probably needed the money. He definitely didn't. wink

    On the other hand, showing them what she can do in the re-write department and that she'll jsut bend over and take orders, puts her in a high place to score a Spider-Man film. Ditto Debney.

  21. NP: Laura - David Raksin

    I've been listening to the "Theme and Variations" suite alongside watching the movie. I've always been interested to see how much of the actual score is contained within this suite and how the whole thing was put together.

    This interest was rekindled after reading about Laura in the Mervyn Cooke book "A History of Film Music" where he mentions that it's wall-to-wall statements of Laura's theme (in many guises) until she turns up "in the flesh" (unscored). After that the theme isn't so prominent.

    If there had never before been artists who had ever balanced their need for food on the table with their ethics, that post would look a bit less naive. The only film composers who don't bend over and take orders are those who have safe relationships with filmmakers (williams, elfman), who are financially free from the need to do it for the money (barry, poledouris, williams and elfman again), or who have gotten cranky in their old age (barry again, herrmann).

    Very charming. The nature of the orchestrations and arrangements in this one is a very rare case of metered and organic musicianship for Zimmer.

    Project X - Horner

    After enjoying Honey I shrunk The Kids so much this past week I've decide to revisit some classic Horner scores.
    Project X has all the usual whistles and bells from Mr. H's bag of tricks. Great moments for sure.
    Not the best recording though.
  27. NP: Bladerunner (Vangelis)

    A wonderful score. It gets a bad rap without a good reason, I say.

    This score has a very special place in my heart... I don't know why exactly, but from start to finish, all of the notes and sounds touch me deeply.



    WP: Hisaishi/Miyazaki concert 2008

    Today I received the DVD (I asked my uncle to record it)... I don't have enough time to watch wholly, so I just watched first two part, Naucicaa Suite and Princess Mononoke Suite. Both are omg omg

    It's great to see how he put his emotion into conducting and playing piano.
