Ollie 1,059 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Battlestar Galactica - Wow, why didn't Stu Phillips get a chance to do major films? Much better than I remember.Cliffhanger, eh 2 discs might be a tad bit too much, and it still sounds like an Alan Silvestri score. Also wonder if John Ottman used this score as a temp for Superman Returns. Heard some stuff, have to go back and revisit. But not a bad purchase, I'll keep it.

Andy 4,141 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Battlestar Galactica - Wow, why didn't Stu Phillips get a chance to do major films? Much better than I remember. I can't understand why this title didn't sell out quickly. I think perhaps it is being regarded as a less serious effort than the reboot BSG? Regardless of what you may think of the original BSG, this score is as listenable and engaging as many scores from the big name composers who do sell out in a day. The music is unbelievably varied and exciting. I can't wait for the next volume.Today, I listened to The Goonies for the first time in a long time. Why was this a holy grail for so many years? 'Cause it's damn fun. That's why. The Inferno theme still gets me.Love the Don Juan segments so much, I'll be buying the upcoming re-recording.

Andy 4,141 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Heidi - WilliamsMaybe my third listen. I liked it much better this time, for some reason. I've never seen the film, but I think the weakest part of the score, for me personally, is actually Heidi's main theme itself. The thing is, it's incredibly appropriate for the subject - conjuring up a fusion of mountain imagery and a sing-songy children's lullaby. I don't really know why, but it doesn't move me. The Alm and the Love theme are wonderful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,044 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Currently listening to my complete edit of TLW. Yummy. So glad that back in the day, my initial (rather poor) impression of this score was proven totally wrong by subsequent listens. I still love the first score, and I'll never be able to prefer TLW, but it's way closer than I thought possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 4,141 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Flesh and Blood - Basil PoledourisSome really catchy and strong stuff here. I was honestly a bit skeptical, but ended up enjoying it very much, in fact, I'd rank it higher than his Robocop score, if less iconic. Starts off with a bang, with one or two saggy spots here and there. But overall great, great stuff. So much muscle and testosterone, I think I grew some back hair while listening. Here we have a second-tier Poledouris score to a throwaway film, and yet if this were released today, we'd all be declaring it the messiah of film music.One thing of which we can all be certain... Basil Poledouris must've had testicles made of solid steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,019 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Lost: Seasons 1-6 by Michael Giacchino12 hours! Not exactly at one sitting, but over the last two days. The 5 hours of season 6 music flow surprisingly well. It's quite a ride! Pity Giacchino doesn't achieve this kind of heights elsewhere. But then again Lost is quite unique, isn't it?If I had to rate all the disc it would be as follows (from best to worst): S6CD4, S4, S6CD3, S6CD1, S3CD1, S5, S1, S6CD2, S2, S3CD2.Karol - who noticed this is perfect background music for writing of any kind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
