    Not a big fan of the score. I find it drags a little after a promising start.


    If it was a modern score album, with 30 minutes extra material, I'd agree with you. But it seems like it doesn't hang around much longer than it needs to. I agree, it's top- and end-heavy.

    NP: Mesrine: L'Instinct De Mort - Marco Beltrami & Marcus Trumpp

    It's all very moody, but where is it GOING?
    Not very enjoyable.
    Slightly annoying in its apparent lack of direction, even.
    Probably works a lot better in the film (which I haven't seen).

    Switched to a compilation of material from Osvaldo Golijov

    Also all VERY moody...but when the Kronos Quartet is in appearance, you pretty much know what to expect.
    The mix of the composers east-European Jewish roots with the seemingly inherent sense of desolation of his native Argentina doesn't make for a particularly uplifting experience...

    Superbness incarnated. 'Harriet's Theme' is such a beauty.


    But is it rare?


    I doubt.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Memories of Me - Georges Delerue

    Naturally enough, I skipped past all the stuff I hadn't heard and headed straight for the finale and the end title, which I already own. Stunning!

    The Film Music of Barry Gray. Very little experience with him other than he seems to be the Vic Mizzy of England.

    I usually skip to the excellent last four tracks. Not to be played on small speakers.

    Grand Prix - Maurice Jarre

    BIG music. Certainly, to be played on speakers. Or headphones. You take your pick. But certainly use one or the other.

    (Pity about the pinched sound.)

    Yes. But if you like his Commonwealth music (which I do, more than is humanly possible), then you'll love Rugby World Cup.

    I like the way you put things. Doesn't it all kick up such a grand storm though when they all go gypsy at the end of 'Night of the Flying Horses'? wink

    If they ever do rejig Superman to start again, they've got to use Gordon's main theme from those Games as a new Superman theme. I can just see the blue guy soaring through the clouds to that music.

    Opened the cd only a few days ago after having bought it when it was released. Excellent! McKenzie sounds a lot like Delerue in the emotional stuff-- those oboes and staccato brass! :melt:

  9. Finished making a tracklist for all the score cues on the Hitchcock Media Records Volume 2 CD of "Knight Rider".

    Wish the CD were longer. :-(

    Can't say I do either!

    Mizzy excelled at comedic scoring.
    Gray wrote mostly for dramatic/exciting action shows (which occasionally featured puppets).

    Hmmm, which superhero score to listen to?
    Iron Man - Djawadi or Batman : Mask Of The Phantasm - Walker

    No brainer there!

    Phantasm is pure bliss from start to finish! cool

    Gorgeous score from a seriously under-appreciated composer. This man should be big by now.
