Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the RingThis requires a lot of time to listen all the way through, but it's worth it. Everytime I listen there's something else to enjoy. I love the small appearances of the Gondor themes.AliensI wasn't really paying attention when I had this playing, but man, it's become cliché trailer music, but I still get excited everytime Bishop's Countdown starts.BackdraftA good score by Hans Zimmer, that's over before you know it (the full CD runs only half an hour). Too bad the songs are cheesy as hell.GladiatorThis score has great parts, but The Battle and Barbarian Horde gave me a headache. Bloody synths.

Justin 2 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 The Chorus (Les Choristes) by Bruno Coulais. A very Finding Neverland esqe score that's actually not half bad. Some beautiful cues in here.Corpse Bride by Danny Elfman. A very fun score. Although I find myself drawn to the songs more than the score. Not as good as Night Before Christmas but still a find entry.Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite through it yet, I'm still listening to it as I type these words, but it's rather enjoyable.And it keeps getting better every time you listen to it for the first few weeks. I also recommend Deep Blue, some different cues, some similar ones, but even the action cues are a bit spiced up, and better played of course.Marian - who must hear more Coulais.

Diego 21 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I am drawn more to he songs...but I can't get enough of that theme. Wonderful theme, one of Elfman's finest.It's a terrific score, I can't believe that crap "It's hard being a pimp" or whatever it's called won the Oscar for best song when "Remains of the Day" wasn't even nominated. The main theme is probably the most beautiful theme Elfman has composed. BTW there are some good variations of the theme not on the OST that can be heard on the DVD with the isolated music track (for example when Scraps appears for the first time), it makes me wish all DVDs had this feature.

Incanus 5,714 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Goldsmith's ST First Contact. I terrific ST score and the First Contact theme is the definite highlight. I had not listened to it in a long time and I had forgotten how good this score actually is.I saw Memoirs of a Geisha last night and now I am more sure than ever that Williams should have won the Oscar for the score. It was so integral part of the film. And Williams' music blended seamlessly with the actual ethnic music so that it was almost impossible to say where the score ended and where the traditional Japanese music began. A truly great score. Moving, evocative and beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I was curious about the Tombstone score. Intrada just released an "Expanded" release with 2 discs (it has some alternates and the theater music, which seems kinda unnecessary to include), and I was wondering if the score is any good. I remember it in the movie, and remember liking it, but how is it overall?Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Lost In Space (The Movie) by Bruce Broughton. I listened to this early this morning before I went to bed. It's definitely a score that I really find enjoyable.All though I am still a tad disappointed Intrada didn't release all the music to the score, since there is some bits still missing. However at the same time I'm greatful for the music that we have that wasn't on the piss poor so called 'album' CD.Goldsmith's ST First Contact. I terrific ST score and the First Contact theme is the definite highlight. I had not listened to it in a long time and I had forgotten how good this score actually is.Indeed I too find it enjoyable and one of my favorite Star Trek scores, having the full score does help too. I've got the full 30 track version which is awesome and definitely out-beats the short OST.*=Music by Jerry Goldsmith**=Music by Joel Goldsmith01- Main Title (2:52)*02- Locutus (1:29)**03- The Enterprise-E (0:27)*04- Battle Watch (1:10)**05- Red Alert (2:13)*06- Temporal Wake (2:06)*07- April 4th, 2063 (1:44)*08- The Phoenix (1:01)**09- First Sign Of Borg (0:25)*10- 39.1 Degrees Celcius (4:45)**11- Approaching Engineering (1:50)**12- Retreat (4:00)**13- The Borg Queen (1:32)*14- Assimilation (1:00)**15- Welcome Aboard (2:40)*16- The Gift Of Flesh (1:03)*17- Definitely Not Swedish (1:25)*18- Watch Your Caboos, Dix (1:32)*19- Fully Functional (3:19)*20- The Dish (7:13)*21- Bridge Argument (1:55)* 22- A Quest For Vengeance (2:40)*23- Evacuate (2:21)*24- The Escape Pods (2:51)*25- All The Time (1:03)*26- The Starship Chase (3:00)**27- Resistance Is Futile (1:46)**28- Victory Over The Borg (1:35)**29- First Contact (6:01)*30- End Credits (5:25)* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And be crushingly dissapointed when only 3 or 4 scenes in the film really deserve the kind of score the film recieved.

John Crichton 4 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings (Complete Recordings)Other than my complete set of Episode III, this has gotten the most play time with me since its release. It's got a bit too much generic underscore and some flat action cues (Flight to the Ford springs to mind) in between the great moments for me to call it a total masterpiece, but the great moments are definately there.Still my favorite Rings score, but RotK has been growing on me. We'll see how I feel after the complete RotK comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
