    Picnic with Death is um...well, it's amazing really.

    Thor got a reaction from bruce marshall in What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)   
    Definitely does! One of my top 50 scores even.
     
    I've tried multiple times to get into CLEOPATRA, but I can't.

    Thor got a reaction from GerateWohl in Alan Silvestri's WHAT LIES BENEATH (2000) - NEW! 2024 Varese Deluxe Edition   
    I remember sampling this score when it came out, and it didn't do much for me. It was Silvestri doing his best Herrmann schtick (which he's good at, I'll give him that).
     
    Still hoping for premiere releases of more pre-ROMANCING THE STONE scores. Or stuff like SHE'S OUT OF CONTROL. Or PAR OÙ T'ES RENTRÉ? ON T'A PAS VU SORTIR. Or OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE. That kind of stuff.

    Thor got a reaction from Groovygoth666 in The Office (US Version)   
    I've seen the whole US version, but it never connected with me much. It's okay. Meanwhile, I've probably seen the original Gervais version 5 times all the way through. And thanks to this bump, I might give it another go!

    Not terribly unique anymore, but one can't complain, really.

    Thor got a reaction from Naïve Old Fart in What is the last piece of classical music you listened to?   
    Not familiar with him, but I've heard the name. I think he's either Danish or of Danish origins (and I'm too lazy to google).

    Can't wait. There were some similar sequences in FURY ROAD, and they were awesome.

    You know you have an all-star line-up when even dead people come back to record!

    Yeah I mean, she is stone old, probably dry as the desert and... turned to dust. Would be almost impossible for everyone.
     
    (I apologise in advance for that tasteless joke, but I couldn't resist.)

    Sorry for the tiny cover, it's all I could find. This remains my favourite of Carl Davis' silent film scores, I think (out of the 20 or so I've heard, he did a LOT!). Accessible, delicious darkness, a little bit religioso.

    I love it dearly but for me The Agony and the Ecstasy takes that title. 😀

    That's an unknown composer to me. I'll check out his music.

    Yes, damn that illness in 2018! Soooooo close. I would have preferred another go at London rather than Berlin again, but having him come back to Europe was way, way beyond what I expected anyway.

    If you're a sucker for mournful Americana (which I am), then this 2009 score is for you. Beautiful, slow and poetic. Not quite on the level of Talmi's SAVANNAH, but a solid second place.

    Thor got a reaction from Yavar Moradi in Will John Williams score Steven Spielberg's new UFO movie?   
    I doubt the film ever comes to fruition. I don't believe a new Spielberg film is on the horizon until I know he's actually out and about, shooting it.

    Whoa, I thought Berlin and Europe was over and done with (and Williams' statements about wanting to return just "polite speak"). I'll definitely go if my money situation turns around by 2025, or whenever the tickets are put up.

    Yes, it was a great concert regardless. But obviously coloured by the situation.

    Yeah, it's a little "too much" for my taste. Might prefer Coppola's version, actually (if we discount the original Honegger for a minute).

    No, you need to get the OST. The score is static and beautiful, like a trance. But one hour suffices.

    Yes. It's in the entry exam.
