Final Fantasy VIII: Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec (Nobuo Uematsu)
If you want to check out one Final Fantasy videogame album, this is the one to go for, fully orchestral, with impressive choir in some of the tracks. It features all the major themes in concert arrangements, which are splendid by the way in their synthesized in-game form, but fantastic when performed by a major orchestra. It's all very melodic, beautiful and accessible, even if you haven't played the game.
How does it compare to Goldenthal's masterpiece?Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

It doesn't. Apples and oranges in this case, they just happen to share the same franchise name. The Final Fantasy music is very well suited for concert performances, whereas Goldenthal's music is definitely score music (If stating the obvious makes any sense there?) -

Like Steven said they have nothing in common. FF VIII is more emotional, uplifting, without a feeling of a flowing score, it's just a series of themes, gorgeous however. The ending theme is particularly noteworthy for its haunting climax.
What Goldenthal wrote is just the opposite end of this: dark and menacing but with the feeling of a proper beginning, middle and end."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

NP : THE LEGEND OF THE LONE RANGER - John Barry
Cheesy song, typical Barry score, plus the famous Lone Ranger theme ( Rossini's The William Tell Overture ) make for a great fun though very short albumOn Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

NP : Versus - Nobuhiko Morino
Versus … a stylish action/horror film with lots of blood and gore and a hint of comedy thrown in for good measure . The OST is a mixed synth / techno bag . It does the trick nicely in the movie but don't expect an easy listen without the images ..."Simplicity is the key to brilliance" -

SO. MUCH. BAAAASSSS.
Same model original parts? Yup. It's almost a clone of the first, but with more electronics and less electric guitars. That ain't a bad thing though. -

NP: Battlestar Galactica 3 (Bear Mccreary)
One of the stronger albums I have from the last few years. It's interesting the way this show morphed - almost imperceptably - from the purely textural scoring of the miniseries to the theme-driven music Bear Mccreary filled this album with. 'Storming New Caprica', 'Violence and Variations' (actually a string-based dramatic piece - written for a boxing scene!), 'Mandala in the Clouds', 'Deathbed and Maelstrom' are all incredible. I've now seen the third season of the show, so I know where all these pieces fit in. The cue which really was a revelation in context was 'Someone to Trust'. I liked the fiddle-erhu duet on its own, but to see it under that scene where Baltar undergoes a very personal change... really good.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

NP:Leviathan (Goldsmith)
I love the whales (Not dolphins hehe) effects, and the synthetiser touch on this one. But I always had problems with the "love theme" (if it's the love theme).While the variations and arrengements are pretty inspired, I always thought it was a too positive and good feeling theme for this movie. -

NP : CANTO OLYMPICO - Mikis Theodorakis
This is a huge and fabulous work and I just know loads of you here would love it too, I know for a fact that D will agree with me 100%.
In fact, while I'm at it I'm dedicating this play to our two good Greeks D and Stavi here celebrating birthdaysOn Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

It really is one of the most joyous exuberant works I can think of, it just never fails to fill me with possitive energy, magnificent and a modern classic IMO and what a shame it isn't recognised as such in you're homeland.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

NP : SATURN 3 - Elmer Bernstein
Excellent sci-fi score, big stuff and an at times challenging listen.
EDIT TO ADD:-
I just found out it would have been Elmer's birthday today At least we can all listen to the mans great body of work and oh, Stavi, you celebrate you're birthday on the same day as one of film musics true geniuses.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

NP : THE GO-BETWEEN - Michel Legrand
Unfortunately the original score to this has never been released, this is a 19 minute suite for Harp, Clavecin ( an 18th century instrument said to be the worlds first electronic instrument, it sounds like a harpsichord and if I hadn't looked it up I'd have thought it WAS a harpsichord ) and orchestra. It's an amazingly captivating work, entrancing.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Love this score, even the synth bits which are at times unnerving and quite inspired.

Which tracks contain the "orchestral highlights"?
NP: Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid - Burt Bacharach
My first listen to this one - and I'd forgotten how wonderful "South American Getaway" is (from watching the movie).
