    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?

    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.

    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 album cool

    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 ... wink

    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. wink

  11. 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.

    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 birthdays beer smile

    FABULOUS indeed. It's one choral / orchestral work of massive qualities and sadly overlooked, even in the composer's own country.

    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.

    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 sad 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. cool beer

    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. cool

    Love this score, even the synth bits which are at times unnerving and quite inspired. The purely orchestral highlights are achingly few but when it does happen it's gobsmackingly beautiful and heartbreaking all at once.

    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).
    cool

    I'll check through it after it finishes Alan.

    I think South American Getaway is a wonderful track, the album is worth it for that track alone IMO.
