    David Arnold - Quantum of Solace

    Rather cool score, I don't have anything against those pan pipes, I must say. Pursuit at Port au Prince is indeed quite harsh for a Bond score, I don't think Barry would go so much.

    Any way to get this concert other than P2P?


    They broadcasted it through TVE (the spanish public TV) a couple of years ago, but as far as I know, it´s never been released officially in DVD.

    NP: Timeline - Brian Tyler

    UGH! I'm only 9 tracks in and I want to turn this off...

    shocked
    I just can't understand where you're coming from, Erik! "Good taste" may be your reply! wink

    I find Tyler's Timeline one of his best action scores...maybe I should rephrase that and say that this one of his most enjoyable scores? I'm listening to the CD at the moment and it's just excellent. The sequence in "Battle of La Roque" - starting from ~1:16 - is to my ears awesome!!

    You do manage to redeem yourself later in the topic, Erik, by mentioning John Powell's Phoenix Theme as being one of the best of the decade. As the younger members of the forum say, "WORD!"

    Yeah, damn. I wish they had released both Trevor Jones (Soncinemad 2006) and Alan Silvestri´s (Soncinemad 2007) concerts, but they didn´t. Now that would be an interesting pack.

  6. NP: "Dark Phoenix's Tragedy" - X-Men III - John Powell

    This is really directed to people who know a bit about music theory...what is it about the percussion piece from ~1:07 - ~1:19 that makes the flow seem to "stutter?" Is it something like time signatures or just more simple? shame

    Anyway, it sounds great!!

    NP:Quantom Of Solace (Arnold)

    It seems Arnold doesn't know wich is the main theme of this score :the song, his motif or morty Norman's one. And it makes a score a little bit uncoherent.

    Some really good tracks, but there is too little action and too many suspense ("night at the opera" and "someone wants to kill you" are pretty impressive thought because Arnold doesn't compose for his over the top instrumentation, he creates more textures )

    "camille's theme" is a mess.


    Anyway....Electric guitars beer specially in the "pursuit at pour Prince" wich after the 3 first boring minutes is a wild piece!
  8. It's a cool score, nothing perfect, would love to hear it in the film.

    But the song sounds rather awful at the beginning...

    NP: Whisper Of The Heart (soundtrack) - Yuji Nomi

    This score should be as well-known as Hisaishi's! So good.


    What's this score like? Is it lush and thematic, or more minimal?


    My English vocabulary is limited so please teach me... "thematic" means something melodic, I think. But what does "lush" mean in terms of music? "Big orchestral" I guess?

    Whisper Of The Heart is not a big orchestral adventure score like Hisaishi's Ghibli scores, except one cue (Track 15, where they show imaginary fairy-tale world written by the heroine). It's mainly performed by a small ensemble with piano, violin, guitar and electronics. The violin solos specially stand out, because one of the main characters is a violin maker. They're very beautiful.

    It has several melodic themes, and especially the main theme (Hilly Town theme) and Baron's theme are really good. I think this score expresses the subtle emotions of the movie really well.

    It's highly recommended! smile

    Yes, and IMO is awful. One of the worst Bond songs, very close to Madonna´s Die Another Day.

    Thank you, and your English is wonderful because that is exactly what I was wondering. In fact, my ability to describe music is pretty limited, so "thematic" may not have been exactly the right word, but you understood what I meant.

    Thanks for the link to the clips. I looked on Amazon, but they didn't have any clips.

    1. The theme in QOS is the 6 note motif that's most easily heard in "Talamone". IMO, it's GREAT.
    2. The song is referenced to ONCE in the very first track 1:20 in.
    3. That's the James Bond theme, Jordi. You're complaining about the James Bond theme??? confused It's in it more than CR, but there's still no complete version of it that I'm dying to hear.

    Listen to the instrumental version - it's much better! wink

    Apart from some crappy source music (that's luckily one of the 30 second tracks), this is great score!
  23. NP: Little Children (Thomas Newman)

    From the surreal opening bars of 'Snack Time' through to the baroque Americana of 'End Credits', this is a brilliant, formally structured score.

    In "PursuitAt port au prince" the action beggins after 3 minutes of underscore, and "Per Las Dunas" mixes suspense and action. So they are not very satisfying action tracks. Not like "african Rundondow" or "miami international".

    About the song, it appears more than once. but not always so noticeable. And i don't find it's a bad tune, but how I said Arnold can't choose between the 2 themes, and the result is a score wich lacks of a theme wich puts all the pieices together.


    NP:Horton Hears a Who (powell)

    Not so memorable in thematic terms than other Powell Scores, but one of his most richest and fresh scores ever! The saxo theme for the cangoor, wich I hated the first time, is perfect for this "evil" but "elegant" character dizzy

    "breakfast in..." is one of the most original tracks I ever heard.

    One of his bests for sure.

    The final Climax is a BOMB!

    We are heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere!

    NP Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (Joe Hisaishi)

    (Another) great effort by Hisaishi. Nice theme for Ponyo, rich orchestrations, big choir cues and one Wagner-esque impressive cue called "Ponyo of the Fish on the Wave". More than recommended.

    The Beach Christopher Gordon

    This is the 4 piece concert version. There's something about Gordon's melodies which is so refreshing and different, and most importantly magical. His melodies have a very ethereal quality to them, and that's what got me so hooked on this composer in the first place.
