    I dunno about this particular model of Samsung but one of my friends had one a couple of years old (I dunno the model) and I was not too impressed by the sound quality. Personally, I've found Motorola phones to have the best sound quality. Anyway, if you feel the sound quality of your phone is acceptable then I think it should be ok, or else you can go for an MP3 player wink

    NP: Jurassic Park - John Williams

    My Friend The Brachiosaurus and T-Rex Rescue and Finale are AWESOME! biggrin punk

    If only this had the T-Rex jeep chase cue, this would've been much better.

    Even the cheapest chinese mp3 player is better than any cellular player. Besides, you can find really good mp3 players for a very reasonable price.

    NP: Arn - Tempelriddaren (The Knight Templar) - Tuomas Kantelinen

    Only if I had heard this score in 2007 because it would have easily made my Top 10. This is a pleasant surprise... but I shouldn't really be surprised because I've always enjoyed Kantelinen's work. The choral music in this score is stunning. It's beautiful, free flowing music. There are few action cues that unfortunately break the nice flow of the album but overall this is solid film music from one of film music's rising talents. And the song "Snö Framförd Av Laleh" is achingly beautiful. These are the kinds of songs that I like... the way they perfectly blend into the score and don't sound like some cheap pop tune plopped in over top of the end credits to make a few more bucks. Well done, Tuomas. Looking forward to more of your work! Highly recommended!

    Well exactly! Can't agree more, really and i am particularly glad you feel this way. This gem here is one of the numerous examples i tell people who complain about the modern film music's outcome, mostly american, to look out and open their ears to.

    NP: Year of the Wolf - Tuomas Kantelinen

    I decided to play one more Kantelinen score today… which is one that I haven’t played before. I’ve had this album for a while now but for some reason forgot about it. This is Kantelinen in minimalism mode. I‘m normally turned off with minimalist film music but unlike Philip Glass’s music this never annoyed me with repetition of the same rhythms over and over and over again. Kantelinen changed it up quite I bit from track to track. Also, the score contains a lot of melody… two themes if I can remember correctly. The highlight of the score is the finale track “Requiem” with Latin lyrics sung by Karoliina Kantelinen. It’s a haunting ending to a breezy 30 minute album that flows wonderfully from start to finish. It’s a dark, dramatic work but isn’t depressing. It a score where you can kick back in your favorite chair, shut your eyes and let the music fill the room. It’s a very meditative score. I’m looking forward to re-visiting this score when I need something to help me relax.

    Because I'm not a fan of that particular piece especially the segment Zimmer ripped. You can also hear it briefly in Shearmur's Sky Captain and I always cringe. It's like nails on a chalk board to me. crazy Plus it's soooooooooooo cliche. The rest of the piece is fine. The heroic Gladiator theme is awesome!

    NP: Gladiator - "Am I Not Merciful?" - Hans Zimmer

    One of the moment powerful and emotional cues of Zimmer's career. Wow... just wow!

    After listening to one of the tracks on Bhelpuri's new game I was inspired to play this fantastic score, IMO the best ethnic/exotic score I've heard. Gorgeous! cool

    Couldn't agree more, along with THE SHELTERING SKY. Sakamoto was one of the biggest and most shocking discoveries in film music for me, even to date.

    I don't think it is on iTunes. However, the score was available on Milan France but for some reason I can't find any purchasing options. It was available at http://www13.cd-wow.com/index.php but I can't find it now. Try contacting Jane through her web site - http://janecornish.com/

    NP: A BUG'S LIFE - Randy Newman

    I'm not quite sure why Randy Newman decided to write a Western for a movie about ants, but it sure sounds good! cool As with most Disney releases, there's a fair amount of dodgy editing, but the final suite which uses a lot of the shorter cues from the movie is put together brilliantly.

    Great score, IMO. Apparently it was Mr. Arnold's first major motion picture and second score, and I really think he did a great job with it.

    Favorite tracks:

    1. Stargate Overture
    7. The Stargate Opens
    11. Mastage Drag
    22. Ra -- The Sun God
    26. Slave Rebellion
    32. Battle At the Pyramid
    33. Surrender
    35. Kasuf Returns
    37. Closing Titles (Intro) [Bonus Track]

    I'd have to agree with you on that. I like this more than the original, although I love the themes in the original. This one has great action with some familiar themes near the end.

    NP: Marnie Bernard Hermann (Joel McNeely)

    I only just recently discovered Bernard Hermann though the films Vertigo, Marnie, and Citizen Kane

    I haven't heard Vertigo on its own, but in the film it was great. Marnie on CD is really good.
