Ollie 1,059 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Some of us do give a composer chance after chance after chance.Not all of us base it on just 2 or 3 scores.

Neimoidian 14 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 This time I went for some classical music. I got two Deutsche Grammophon albums: Holst's "The Planets" (with two additional "Pomp and Circumstance" marches by Edward Elgar) and Gershwin's "Rapsody in blue" cd (including "An American in Paris", "Prelude for Piano no. 2", "Cuban Overture" and "Porgy and Bess" Suite).Great music for little money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I did an order for Varese's Matilda through Peter (Movie Music) and will be charged for it on the 3rd. I'm looking forward to getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorean90 42 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I haven't finished Matilda yet, but what I've heard so far sounds pretty good.I am so glad I purchased North by Northwest and Heartbeeps. Excellent, excellent, excellent. My only knock I can see on the latter is that, while it has the sound and richness of cues that one would expect from Williams of '81, it doesn't seem quite as developed as it should be, although I suspect this is a fault of the film. "Val's First Drive" is a good example. Based on the sample clip, I was expecting a track of fun but suspenseful chase music, but the chunk heard on the sample is just about all of that material for the track (although what's there is great). It's almost like I want more of it when it's over. Nonetheless, it's a great score, with terrific themes. The Love Theme should go down among the classics, the main theme is very good (would've liked to hear it in the brass more, though--I think it was always performed electronically), and Crimebuster...man, what a treat! Though it is dated, it's still a lot of fun to listen to (does the usage of drum kit remind anyone else of The Goonies?). Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Just placed an order of used CD's off Amazon: Far From Heaven (no idea why it took me this long) The Italian Job (First Powell score that caught my ear in the film...have mp3s of it) Devil's Advocate (dirt cheap, heard there was some good stuff in it) Good Will Hunting (Love the theme. Plus, I've recently grown very fond of mid-late 90's Elfman) A Simple Plan (see above. When recently watching the film, the score really struck a chord) Also, got Jeff Rona's White Squall off ebay. I've heard good stuff about it, and recently reading Rona's terrible book about film scoring, remembered about it. Hope his music is better than his writing.
