Thor 7,558 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Such an underrated D. Newman gem (well, most of David's scores are, really). Warm and comforting like a summer's day. Tom Guernsey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And because it's the easiest way to approach scores, I know a lot of people who do not fancy much film music but who like to listen to epic music like the one you find in trailers. But whatever the excessive excitement with the 13th Warrior, I think it really need an expansion. Just finished Dances with Wolves by John Barry. It's really good although I'm not very familiar with the man's work. Tom Guernsey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,558 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Great, overlooked score from 1992 by a guy who's mostly famous as an orchestrator.

The X-PERIMENTS album works better as a concept album, I think. The proper soundtrack never did much for me. But I'm impressed you're playing DARK PHOENIX at 6 in the morning! Meanwhile, over here, as I get up 4 hours later: This 1999 score got its first soundtrack release in 2019 - 20 years after its premiere. It's about time too, because it's a wonderful gem. Erhus(?), harps, strings and floating electronic textures denote the vastness of the mountainscapes. Xiaofeng came and went too quickly, he hasn't done a film score since 2009.

Popular Post Bespin 8,489 Posted March 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2021 I listened to this CD which compile all of John Williams's works re-recorded by Roy Budd and the LSO for an LP called "The Fantasy Album" in 1984. I was already familiar with some suites. It's refreshing to hear other orchestrations. Roy Budd was a film music composer himself, maybe not a so great conductor, but there are enough good parts in his recordings to be interested by them. 1 Raiders of the Lost Ark/Indiana Jones Suite 5:56 2 E.T.
