bruce marshall 1,315 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 This might be the all-time example of great score/ lousy film Legrands greatest. Like many if his scores it's monthematic; but what a theme! Joyous and exuberant they way JW can be ( "Can you read My Mind/ The Flying Sequence). His variations are endlessly inventive. Sadly, the CD pictured is the ost, not Intrada's expansion. If anyone has that to trade pls. Lmk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Kilar will always be my favourite polish composer who also wrote for cinema. 'King of the Last Days' is a historical 1993 drama about the rise and gruesome fall of the anabaptists in Münster and shines with the distinctive, powerful sounds typical of Kilar. The floating, unearthly choirs & mix of orchestra and discreetly backgrounded period instruments alternates between sacred, hymn-like melodies that move incredibly pulsating and dramatic, and gloomy, elegiac dirges with an exalted Morricone feel to them. It's one of the great resurrections of Middle Age, next to Morricone's (countless) similar examples, i. e. El Greco or La Venexiana, and Barry's Last Valley.

Thor 7,498 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Coolness embodied! I just love the elegance and wistfulness of it. Perfect blend of jazz and electronica. Air also scored the Norwegian film PIONÉER a few years ago, but that remains unreleased (it is by no means as exciting as VIRGIN SUICIDES, though).

Thor 7,498 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 No. Another film drenched in nostalgia for me. But it's also a lovely synth effort where Silvestri once again shows his chops with the Synclavier, Linndrums etc. "Robot Romp" remains the favourite track. I wish Silvestri did another synth-only score again (there are a few nice cues in the COSMOS soundtracks that prove he still has it in him).

Tom Guernsey 2,284 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Star Trek: Voyager Volume 2 (Jay Chattaway, Dennis McCarthy etc.) - I sometimes slightly worry that I bought these albums out of a sense of obligation as I they can be a bit of a chore to sit through at times. There are some individual scores that are worth hearing (the more epic Borg ones, for example) but a lot of it is modal strings and horn chords, which become a bit interchangeable after a while. It makes me just want to put on the Orville... I should probably check out Jeff Russo's scores for Discovery and Picard. They actually strike me as much more varied and interesting than most 90s Trek music. I'll stick pick up the second Enterprise volume, that definitely seems to have a wider range and more interesting style. Shame Rick Berman didn't understand how great the music could have been, we could have had volumes and volumes of Orville style scoring instead.

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 The Silence of the Lambs by Howard Shore Not my favourite Shore's score (obviously it's the LOTR) but it's from one of my favourite thriller so always like to listen to it once in a while to feel Hannibal's haunting presence.

Thor 7,498 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Carl Davis didn't only do silent films, he did "normal", contemporary movies too. This is a nice example, from 1984. Big and bold, and sounds far more oldfashioned than perhaps the film demands. This soundtrack is very hard to find these days.

I remember listening to this at the Desplat concert in London a few years ago and being thrilled by it. I don't know if it was the impact of the LSO live, but it was a thrilling performance. Still excellent on disc (and the rest of the concert was pretty damn great, as a bit more of a Desplat fan than a lot of people here, but I agree that he might be better served if he reduced his workload... he's no Ennio or James Horner...).

Edmilson 7,439 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Executive Decision - Jerry Goldsmith I really love these macho Goldsmith action scores. Peter Pan - JNH A little boring and mickey mouse-y, but still with some wonderful highlights The Nutcracker and the Four Realms - JNH Pretty fun.

One has to wonder why Giacchino and Desplat don't do a few less scores a year - they must be among the best paid film composers today, so I doubt they really need to maximize their income.

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Knives Out by Nathan Johnson One of my favourite 2019 score, really funny and smart like the movie.

Tom Guernsey 2,284 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 The Aftermath (John Morgan) - Random discovery in my collection, sounds like the best sci-fi score Bernard Herrmann never wrote. It manages to sound like Herrmann more or less throughout without sounding like anything too specific (and certainly no closer to particular Herrmann works than Herrmann himself got).

Thor 7,498 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Not exactly a cheery affair, but not outright gloomy either. Surprisingly thematic. Obviously a few SCHINDLER'S LIST vibes here and there. One of my runner-ups last year, this, and it seems to be well-liked by many of my fellow critic colleagues too (one of the rare times I'm in synch with them).
