  1. SpaceCamp by John Williams (Intrada)

    John Williams in SciFi mode, teaming up with Herbert Spencer and Kenneth Wannberg, shortly after "Jedi"?

    Well I couldn't resist any longer and payed 40€ for a new copy. We are all a bit crazy from time to time, arn't we?

    I'm on cloud no. seven now!

    Cheers!

    Actually, this is Williams in adventure mode! BTW, Spacecamp was written in 1986, Jedi in 1983. In between that Williams wrote The River, Temple of Doom, various concert pieces and two episodes of Amazing Stories.

    Anywho, Spacecamp is superb!

    Except for a track or two, I never cared much for SPACECAMP. Williams on autopilot. There's the trademark TECHNIQUE there, but not much to latch on to in terms of melody or depth.
    I am extremely serious.

    I knew you were just around the corner, Thor, ready to pounce. Don't listen to him, Captain, this is far from Williams being on autopilot. There's two or three superb melodies (brilliantly fleshed out in the "Spacecamp" track) and some grand, epic, adventure music that stands along side with some of the best stuff he's done. Great album!

    I agree with Thor but Volker will make his own mind up.

    NP : GHOST STORY - Philippe Sarde


    I love this score, a good old fashioned traditionally scary score, likewise the film which I feel is very underrated.

    p.s. and is Alice Krige ( probably better known to most here as Star Trek's Borg Queen ) sexy in the film or what. love

    And you are in picky mode. biggrin But you are right of course.

    Thor, I actually found that second track a bit irritating. Other than that - as Erik said: It's a superb adventure score.
    Should I compare it to, say Goldsmith's "Explorers", I would prefer William's score. Because of more depth here.

    Cheers!

    NP: Hansel & Gretel - Atli Örvarsson

    I presume that Atli got this score based on his work on Season Of The Witch, even though the results isn't all that similar, which isn't a bad thing, mind you. The score is full of action, though without any apparent, recognizable recurring thematic materials to based from. It's a brisk album, though I think it could be cut down a bit in order to tighten up the action pieces.
    I'm not sure if I really like Atli's scoring style. It's heavily electronic coated, more than Henry Jackman, with an emphasis on distortion and grunge. Not a bad thing, per se, but I care less for it. Additionally, I dislike how he uses the the "orchestra" as part of the percussion. People used to accuse Hans of doing this, but it's not the same. How Atli approach this make it feel very blunt and kinda cheap.

    Parade of the Athletes David Arnold

    Although my favourite score from last year is Skyfall, this has got to be my favourite theme from last year. I think it's bloody fantastic. When's the next Arnold score for God's sake!?

    I tried to listened to it the other day. Although I don't discredit the ability it requires to actually produce something like this, it's rubbish. It's a score I'd firmly place in the "What's Wrong With Today's Film Music" category. (With a name as foreign sounding as his, I was rather expecting something more. Does that make me a racist?)

    I suppose it's not quite as bad as Hansel & Gretel. (A bit like saying a dictator-du-jour is not quite as bad as Stalin.)

  23. Kenji Kawai - Mezane no Hakobune

    A beautiful electronic/choral score with some strings thrown for good measure. Emotional, atmospheric, thematic. I still prefer his Ghost in the Shell to this (I regard that one as masterpiece, both as a movie and as a film), but it's very much a beautiful work not to be overlooked. A very short album chockful of emotions, harmony and melody.

    Minus the harsh words, the negative impression is on par with my opinion regarding this score. Henry Jackman's work on Abraham Lincoln - Vampire Hunter is better in comparison, mostly due to the fact that it is thematically stronger.

    This score is the closest that the game score genre ever came to having a Yoko Kanno-style production. I must say that I enjoyed this score a lot due to its mish-mash quality.
