  1. The Ten Commandments - Elmer Bernstein Weather
  2. The Shawshank Redemption - Thomas Newman Revenge
  3. That's exactly why it rubs me the wrong way. It's the same for anything "stock". I know it's a practical/financial thing, but I just can't get into stuff that has no context, that's created just as generic material. I don't like the idea of farming out music when there are countless composers willing to write original music just for the credit.
  4. Hugo - Howard Shore Professional Rivalry
  5. Ah, Helmut. The trio sonatas are devilishly difficult.
  6. I'm sure there's good stuff and genuinely talented people involved. But it rubs me the wrong way.
  7. No, hyperbowl. It's a device that allows one to travel through hyperspace whilst taking a shit.
  8. Braveheart - James Horner I really like what the violins are doing from 6:36 - 6:50. I don't know why, but it just makes the whole cue for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQghiZCqM1Q
  9. Actually I think I had intentions of doing this last one, then I... didn't. You have me intrigued to see what the next will be.
  10. Yep, didn't buy that it was an "amicable" spilt due to time pressures. Hopefully Abrams knows what he's doing and isn't getting blinded by being able to play around in the galactic sandbox.
  11. Karelm, I quite like Opening. Some very interesting things there!
  12. Hmm. Perhaps I'll try to find the time to throw my hat into the ring on this next one.
  13. Oh he did the 20k with Ben Cross as Nemo? Cool.
  14. Look, he plays well with Johnny. The fans can learn something from this! Here he is wooing some Hollywood dames! That last one is for antero, Joey, et al. Their favorites!
  15. Henry, based on your Debussy comment I was prepared for more of the unfortunately common problem of "young" composers (poorly) rewriting other composers' music rather than (skillfully) writing their own. I was delighted to hear that wasn't the case at all with your piece, which has the hallmarks of Debussyian sensuality and color but is decidedly sprung from your own mind. Well done.
  16. "Well I'd like to hold off judgement on a thing like that, sir, until all the facts are in."
