It's a marvelous score that reveals more and more about itself with every listen Holko and SteveMc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a fairer world it would be programmed alongside the greatest 20th Century masterworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 452 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Krull - James Horner Horner's masterwork, no matter how much you guys prefer The Rocketeer, Wrath of Khan or his glossy Oscar fare. No matter how much I listen to it, it continues to draw me in. The main theme, the overly rapturous love theme, and the highlight cue "Ride of the Firemares." It is truly fine narrative scoring.

To explain, I spent most of the day working away at my thesis assignment, and when Born Free came on, it was really working for me. I was in the mood for more sugary Barry sap, so I went through the whole roster. I may have overdone it though as the day just started to move in slow motion.

As with Close Encounters, to me, has that sense of wonder about the cosmos/aliens etc and helping to make [aliens] seem real. One day I'll get around to the recent release of the score.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Battle Royale Much more tonal than I was expecting. Not a big fan of the tracking of classical pieces into the album but there are a handful of well-written sentimental melodies (which I've been missing from new Hollywood film scores). The action music is solid too, very Goldsmithian in parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
