#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Tomorrow Never Dies (David Arnold, Nerys Records 007) After listening to LLL's TWINE many times for the last few weeks I decided to give this one a spin. Arnold does a great job taking the well known "Bond-music" style and bring it up to date for the 90's. There's some fantastic action music in this that can give ID4 a run for its money (White Knight, Bike Chase etc) and the requisite amount of spying around music and lush romance (Paris and Bond being a bit less Barryish then some of Armolds later Bond love themes) Arnold uses the Bond Theme as if he just got it for Christmas and gives it a work out and variety that even Kamen's score didnt equal. From 90's techno in Backseat Driver to big band orchestral on steroids in Company Car. Actually Bike Chase is basically a 6 minute riff on the theme and its awesome. A surprisingly well put together score actually. There's a lot of different styles, but rather well blended. And Arnold uses a variety of themes and quite a few recurring action rhythms and motifs throughout. Giving it a cohesive feel. Surrender, Arnold's song which was relegated to the end credits is ace too. Really captures the brassy and ballsy 60's Bond song sound. I would say that Nobody Does It Better than Arnold, but @Richard would have a fit! Excellent 90'd Bond score though. **** out of **** Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't buy the expanded Tomorrow Never Dies; It's a 1-discs, slightly expanded edition from the early 2000s that is still missing a ton of the score. Now that LLL had gone though DAD and TWINE, it seems likely they they will tackle TND next, and we'll finally get a 2CD set of the whole thing, so I'd wait for that. Between TWINE and DAD, I'd easily recommend TWINE for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanobard 71 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Transformers (2007) - Steve Jablonsky I do love this score. The themes are amazing (especially so considering how much of a part they play in the other four Transformers) and Jablonsky really nailed the action and the more emotional side to his music here. I personally think it's one of the best scores of all time. fight me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Harry Potter: The John Williams Soundtrack Collection: An exhaustive, wonderful and lovingly put together collection of the three complete John Williams scores for the franchise that reveal great commitment, thought, heart and effort Maestro poured into his outings in the Pottervers and now reveal in full the breadth and scope of this music. Brilliant! The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Complete Recordings by Howard Shore: I never tire of this masterpiece by Shore which not only instantly conjures memories of experiencing this film but also works so beautifully as an independent and intricate musical tapestry and mirror of Tolkien's story as well. And then some more down-to-earth, delicate, quiet and thoughtful music from the composer Christopher Young who is well-known for entirely different sort of the genre-work but I feel is actually at his very best with this more personal and lyrical material which still showcases his versatility and considerable skill.
