Bryant Burnette 654 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'm probably the only one hanging around here, but I'm a big Coldplay fan, so I just got finished listening to their new album, Viva La Vida.If you like Coldplay, I can't see any reason why you wouldn't love this album. If you don't like Coldplay, I doubt this will do anything to change your mind.Also, they sound more like U2 than ever -- no surprise, given that Brian Eno was one of the producers.Film music hardly makes up the majority of what I listen to.I agree the new Coldplay album is very good its easily their best.I think that I still think that A Rush of Blood to the Head is their best album (and maybe their best song, also), but I also think that you can make a pretty solid case for any of the four being the best.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I listen. I usually don't listen to the music I trade for. Unless it's something I really want. I have Justin Caine Burnett's score to I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer. I don't want to listen to it, I'm sure you don't want to either.

indy4 155 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 The book was fantastic, IMO.I Am Legend just arrived. Haven't heard it yet, but it's my 16th JNH CD.Just finished listening to I Am Legend. A truly beautiful score, JNH was brilliant on this one. "Evacuation" is so touching. And I love the main theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I Am Legend is a pretty good score. He scored the film very emotionally, there is hardly any action music. A pleasant surprise. I just listened to it last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I like the main mournful theme. Classic JNH. But there really isn't anything else on the album worth listening to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Well most of the album consists of that main theme. Darkseeker Dogs is a good suspenseful/action track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I actually posted in the wrong thread, those were meant for the listening thread. Yes they are. I took a gamble on the Delerue score, it's been on my SAE wish list for over a year. It's from 1968, the sound quality is very good for a mono source.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Then I'm sure you would love Fievel Goes West. It's not discussed often around here, or ever. I saw the movie recently on TV and forgot how good it was. Last time I saw it was probably when I was a child. Very good work from Horner, and I don't think he copied himself for it too.

Joe Brausam 214 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Haha, and a question, Koray. I'm coming down to Baltimore tomorrow/Monday becuase my sister's boyfriend's band has a gig down there. Do you know of any good used CD shops in the city that I could hit? I looked up one that seems good, The Sound Garden? I'd be interested in your opinion though.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I can't really help you out there. I do pretty much all of my shopping on Amazon. Besides, I'm down in Bethesda, which is about an hour away from Baltimore, so I don't know the area very well. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Both great Zimmer scores. Unfortunately, the OST of The Prince Of Egypt doesn't include Chariot Race, which is the best score track IMO. I bought Selections From The Prince Of Egypt just to get it.The Lion King is in dire need on a real score release. Four short cues on the soundtrack doesn't serve it justice.

Morlock 11 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 But the expanded score also reveals some of the score's short-comings. There are some synth based cues in there that really detract from the beauty of the rest of the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorean90 42 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I actually didn't think it was so terrible in TLK. There's definitely been worse. And the cue where Rafiki discovers that Simba is alive is well worth an expanded release on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
