Morlock 11 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I've been meaning to pick Breach up. Only good thing about the film. I listened to Zimmer's An Everlasting Piece. Fun, easy going score with a bit of an Irish flavour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Could you give some more info on The Bourne Ultimatum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Yes, that too. Although I am a Powell fan, I never got into his Bourne scores, aside from the main theme to the first one. I personally prefer his similar score to The Italian Job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QMM 4 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I've had one run through so far but it was sort of passive listening but I'm going through it again and I'm enjoying it more.Some thoughts:I'm a bit discouraged that the opening chord and bassoon theme heard in the previous two films during the titles is not present.The opening track has some action writing that's a bit different than the two previous scores and Powells writing in general, not sure if I like it or not.There are some bits where he's remixed parts of tracks from the previous films (not as much as Supremacy) but they sound a lot better, and he uses almost all of the themes in different ways, ex-The treadstone theme given a middle eastern twist in Tangiers.The slow bits, Thinking of Marie and Faces Without Names, are really goodExtreme Ways by Moby also shows up, albeit remixed and now subtitled Bourne's Ultimatumedit: I disagree about the Breach film, I enjoyed it although moreso after listening to the commentary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Brausam 214 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 OOTP, I can't help myself really, the score grows on me more and more with each new listen. I really hope we end up with a complete release or a good bootleg someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Ratatouille - I didnt find it engaging the first time around, but I liked it a lot lot more on the second listen as the subtly placed themes became more apparent. Lovely old fashioned stuff this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Started listening to The Bourne Ultimatum. Liking it so far. 'Tangiers' kicks ASS! Love the swirling strings! After listening to JNH's Hidalgo, it's nice to hear action music and swirling, Arabian-ish strings that don't sound like Goldsmith! (even though the JNH score is a very solid listening experience) Morlock- who's loving Powell more and more with every score that comes along. Can't wait for his rom-com score!

Romão 2,274 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Prokofiev's Ivan the Terrible. Trully amazing score and can clearly hear how it influenced so many modern scores (Hollow Man, Brothers Grimm and Glory come to mind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,178 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Well, Brothers Grimm seems directly influenced by Hollow Man, too. Marian - who never noticed any particularly obvious Ivan similarities in Hollow Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I just got done (literally) listening to the complete recordings for The Two Towers. Such a damn fine score. It's nice to hear all the music Shore originally wrote for the film, instead of what they produced in the final version of the film.I can't wait for the complete recordings for Return Of The King to come out this year.

Richard Penna 3,676 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'd forgotten about the RotK: CR until very recently - surely we should be getting some sort of news within the next month, and the wild euphoria can start here again regarding the monkeys recently given temporary employment at Reprise But yes, even after the tens of listens I've already given both sets, they remain my favourite score ever.Otherwise, I just got Elfman's Planet of the Apes. A little too percussion based for my liking, but I'll probably end up keeping around half the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 1941 complete score. It's a fun interesting score. I found it kind of odd though that Williams put in a rendition of the Jaws theme at the beginning of the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 If you see the film you'll understand why. If you're listening to the expanded score then that music is tracked from Jaws. On the original CD it's a little more subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Decided to listen to the less talked about Medal of Honor scores todayAllied Assault - Giacchino only wrote 15mins of new music for the series PC debut, but my what a glorious 15mins they are! I think he worked on this at about the same time he was writing the music for Frontline (which was released a few months later). One of the major Frontline action motifs makes its debut here.Rising Sun - Lennertz makes a good case for himself with this one. Can stand proud alongside Giacchino's workPacific Assault - 15mins of Private Ryan-ish music by Lennertz. Not much to shout about.European Assault - Another pretty spectacular action score by Lennertz, not very long though at only 30mins. Main theme sounds quite David Arnold-ish to me, and is slowly becoming my favorite MoH theme of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame the album is not a very exciting listening experience in the long run. I've had the same experience with the score. I always new I loved the main titles, but after that, I thought I'd give up after a few minutes. But it such a fresh, breezy score. The album (as many JW albums) is not constructed terribly well (although I do love the Sinatra song in there), but what can you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,327 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I just listened to Temple Of Doom on LP (foldout cover U.S.). The LP looks like it never has been played and it sounded quite good. The music I'm not too fond of. Now I'm listening to Empire Of The Sun, also on LP. And yep, it's still one of my favorite Williams scores.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
