QBVII Jerry Goldsmith
Who'd of thought that someone with a name like Jerry Goldsmith would be so good at composing Jewish influenced music.
Yeap. the same happen with me when I think a man with a name like jerry Goldsmith composed so good african music for The Ghost and the Darkness....
The same thing happened with me when I think a man with a name like David Newman composed such good comedy music for I Love Trouble. -

This is such an unusual score for Portman in my opinion, but she does a lovely job with it. It's very emotionally charged. -

The choir usage is inspired and memorable and the percussion sounds bloody fantastic. Even Star Trek's recording is a far cry from this one.

Makes you wonder why his talents aren't needed anymore by Mr. Giacchino. What Star Trek could've sounded like with that man at the helm, still the only problem with that score for me."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. -

Dark City (Trevor Jones)
The expanded score which is much more richer in orchestral textures and ambience, which IMO is something Trevor Jones really excels at. The main attraction remains the truly gorgeous finale and for this reason alone this will always be one of my favourite from the composer. The ending piece always manages to transport me into that magical place that belongs to the real legendary scores which have the ability to move me to tears."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. -

Oh, I know. But once Michael started recording in Hollywood with Wallin he fell in love with Wallin's sound and records every score with him until... well... you know.

Not me. I would very much like too though. Despite Goldsmith being the composer (often not a good sign of a quality film/show), I can't believe Jerry found that music in him for something that didn't deserve it.

Double
I´m sorry if I hurt your feelings.
It´s just the whole package; it´s pitch perfect. The sound, the sheer massive power, the completeness, the length, the score itself, the booklet, the themes, the variations on the themes, the utter perfection of the rerecording ... This really, really is a fantastic CD.
Given the same treatment, The Empire strikes back (not A New Hope) might have a chance of catching up or surpassing this CD of El Cid.

A good thing about catching a cold and taking a rest is, I can have time to repeat a whole album.
NP: The Shawshank Redemption - Thomas Newman
By listening to the whole album I'm more impressed by the contrast of "light and shadow" on this score. Dark, suppressed tone of Stoic Theme or Brooks Was Here represents hopeless life in the prison, which makes the emotional theme on the finale (also appeared briefly in Suds On The Roof) more hopeful, and beautiful.
I also love the Celtic feel of fiddles.Labels are for cans, not people. - Anthony Rapp -

NP: Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone - John Williams
It's good music. Lots of beautiful cues. Memorable themes. I enjoy it on the album, even though it's just not what I expected for Harry Potter world.
And when listening to this score, I can't help imagining Captain Hook walking down the Hogwarts stairs, or an alien and a boy on bicycle flying over the Castle, or Macaulay Culkin screaming at Bloody Baron...Labels are for cans, not people. - Anthony Rapp -

I watched the film again some time ago and was surprised to see how many times Hedwig's theme was used in it. I think about half of the score consists of it!

I agree. But I don't care how good El Cid is Star Wars should never be considered crap.

The only issue with the original Star Wars scores are the AWFUL remastering jobs of the RCA Special Editions. So bad remastering put aside all of the other postitive comments you gave to El Cid can be applied to the Star Wars scores as well.

I find El Cid not as constantly engaging as Star Wars, of which I love literally each track in the score. El Cid has too much filler music as far as I'm concerned. Star Wars is filler-free !
You really think the mastering is bad on those SE's Erik? I never gave it a second thought. Too me it has always sounded exceptionally stunning, even better and more powerful than the newer trilogy. Maybe I should take some hearing lessons."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.
