What is the last score you listened to?

[Ollie 1,059]

That's the last time I send out anything to members.

[Morlock 11]

Come on, now- I haven't said anything about the complete, SFX free, RoTS you sent me....whoops.

In the past couple of days I listened to Elfman's brilliant Mission:Impossible and Broughton's Tombstone.

But the most recent score I listened to today was Total Recall. Damn that's one fine score.

[Ollie 1,059]

Well you can forget about the KOTCS recording sessions I was going to send.

Baby, Secret Of The Lost Legend

[Morlock 11]

Damn! well, at least I got Bernstein's Gangs of New York off of you while the channel was open.

[Trent B 337]

You guys are too much. I'm sure KM is getting pissed off at this lol.

[Ollie 1,059]

And I'm sure as hell not gonna share my complete Star Trek II & III scores.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Thank you for sending me The Dilithium Mines of Remus (film version) from Nemesis, Mark.

[ST-321 4]

I listened to quite a few scores over the last few days. My complete re-edit for The Empire Strikes Back, the complete score for Starship Troopers and my complete edit for The Phantom Menace. and a couple of other scores too...

There is a complete Starship Troopers? I had no idea.

[Trent B 337]

Yes there is... been around for a while.

[Ollie 1,059]

The DVD also has an isolated score.

[Maglorfin 196]

Titanic, again after a long time.

[Trent B 337]

The DVD also has an isolated score.

Ya but then it's not really complete... it cuts off some unused music. You'd have to do some hunting for the full score which has unused music in it.

[Delorean90 42]

Listening to The Conversation for the second time since I got it with Baby. Overall, I like it. The piano material is very good, with a terrific main theme. The jazz ensemble cuts are terrific. The distortions and experimentations...not so much. Seeing the movie might help me to appreciate what's going on with it, but musically I don't really appreciate it. The middle of "Plumbing Problem" is particularly freaky. I would not advise listening to that at night. If you're really mean, you might set it up to wake someone up.

The explicitly musical segments of the CD are good jazz and piano music, but be wary of the weird stuff.

I'll have to listen to Baby again, but so far it's been really good; a worthy purchase, to be sure.

[Morlock 11]

The Conversation's score is quite striking in the (excellent) film. I agree that the whole CD is not necasserily a great listening experience...but the two themes he has in there always get to me. The ultimate 'lonely man' score.

[Maglorfin 196]

Hannibal.

[Morlock 11]

Lucky you. Excellent album, that. Only one with soundclips I like.

[Maglorfin 196]

Have a listen yourself, it's perfect goodnight stuff.

[Morlock 11]

It's an album that's easy to get immersed in. I find it to be very soothing to play as I go to sleep, for some perverse reason.

[Maglorfin 196]

It's an album that's easy to get immersed in. I find it to be very soothing to play as I go to sleep, for some perverse reason.

Couldn't've put it better myself. It's a masterpiece, really, and definitely my personal Zimmer favourite.

[indy4 155]

Sweeney Todd. I love it (though the final track is horribly out of order).

Some of the lyrics are hilarious as well, especially in "A Little Priest."

[Trent Hoyt 13]

The final track isn't out of order. The album is missing the finale thats what makes it seem out of order. It really is a horrible release.

[Romão 2,274]

I can ignore the bad singing when watching the movie. But on the cd it's unlistenable. The original cast recording with Cariou and Landsbury is superior in every way.

[Charlie Brigden 7]

Morricone, ORCA: THE KILLER WHALE.

[Chris ChrusherComix 46]

I listened to quite a few scores over the last few days. My complete re-edit for The Empire Strikes Back, the complete score for Starship Troopers and my complete edit for The Phantom Menace. and a couple of other scores too...

Which I'm sure Vosk re-edited to take out all unused music.

I gave away my pressed Spacecamp CD years ago to a Conservative Christian bigot in the USA. Which should tell you something about my opinion on that score.

Also, it was a trade between friends as well. And I was entirely thankful for. But this is how you treat me? Maybe you should look in the mirror the next time you call someone that. Thanks, bud.

As for last score I listened to: Mostly Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, though I, II, and III some too.

[Jacob 0]

Ratatoullie and The Incredibles. This music is just plain fun.

[Incanus 5,713]

Medal of Honor Frontline- Giacchino's finest MOH score.

[indy4 155]

The final track isn't out of order. The album is missing the finale thats what makes it seem out of order. It really is a horrible release.

Right, my bad.

I can ignore the bad singing when watching the movie. But on the cd it's unlistenable. The original cast recording with Cariou and Landsbury is superior in every way.

The singing sounds fine to me.

Some of the great lyrics:

"For what's the sound of the world, my dear?

The crunching noises pervading the air?

It's man devouring man, out there

And who are we to deny it in here?"

-----

"The history of the world, my love

Is those below serving those up above

How gratifying for once to know

That those above will serve those down below!"

[Morlock 11]

I can ignore the bad singing when watching the movie. But on the cd it's unlistenable. The original cast recording with Cariou and Landsbury is superior in every way.

Come on now....has it ever happened that a fan of the broadway version liked the vocals in the film version as much? The singing is not bad. Not at all. But trying to convince you of this would be like you trying to convince me that the movie version of Evita is superior to the original.

[Romão 2,274]

What I mean to say is they chould have chosen actors who can actually sing. Something they did for the most part in Chicago. Johnny Depp is bearable, but Bonham Carter is a disgrace. She just can't carry a tune.

[Morlock 11]

Oh, yes she can. I find her to be quite charming as Mrs. Lovett, and her voice is a perfect match for the film, and wonderful on the album. I think the actors did a fantastic job, gave good performances, and sang appropriatly and quite listenably. The only thing I can compare it to at this point is the 1982 taped show...and it's not fair to judge a show or play based on a filmed live performance.

[Elmo Lewis 6]

Oh, goddamit. That's it, Morlock, I'm sending the DVD with the original cast, and that's final.

[Morlock 11]

Bring it on, biotch!

[Elmo Lewis 6]

Well, I don't have your address. So, can't we just assume that I've proven you wrong? You seem pretty prone to it in this matter.

[Morlock 11]

I will never assume you've proven me wrong!

And I can't say I really care....if it's a filmed play, there's very little chance that it will impress. I just need to get the original cast album one of these days.

[Elmo Lewis 6]

I will never assume you've proven me wrong!

... And then you drop a juicy bomb like this?:

if it's a filmed play, there's very little chance that it will impress.

Now, come on.

[Morlock 11]

I have rarely seen a filmed play (I mean literally, not a flimsy adaptation) that was good. The performers are simply not calibrated to a home audience. Angela Lansberry came off quite badly in the one I saw on youtube. Nothing to do with the quality of her performance, just that she was projecting for a theater audience. Two different mediums. What works on stage doesn't work on screen, and vise-versa.

[Elmo Lewis 6]

Then why give it a try at all?

[Morlock 11]

To humor you, mostly. I will just have to live with the fact that I was exposed to the movie first, and that formed my image of Todd. If I liked a musical in one form, I have never found myself liking it in another form as much.

[Maglorfin 196]

Manfredini's Friday the 13th.

[Ollie 1,059]

Now that I've completely alienated my family with the Superman box set I figure it's time to move on to another score so I've been giving Goldsmith's Baby a listen.

[Maglorfin 196]

Jaws was today's choice.

[Neimoidian 14]

Quite a lot today. Zimmer's Spanglish, Scott's L`Expédition Jules Verne, Williams' War of the Worlds, Horner's Legends of the Fall...

[Romão 2,274]

Star Wars: A New Hope (that's the name I grew up with, so don't flame me). The sound may be traditional, but I still maintain this is one of the most inventive and original major scores ever written. Such pure brilliance.

[Trent B 337]

I listened to ESB earlier and now currently listening to the complete score for Live Free Or Die Hard.

[Maglorfin 196]

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

[indy4 155]

Other than Indy and Sweeney, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. There's a ton of great underscore I hadn't noticed before. A great Elfman soundtrack!

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Die Another Day. Worst Bond score ever, I loved it!

[Neimoidian 14]

Die Another Day. Worst Bond score ever, I loved it!

Nah, it has its moments. The song, however, is definitelly the worst.

The worst Bond's score is Goldeneye, even though I seem to enjoy the moody, industrial feel and find love theme quite good. I also hate Conti's lighthearted action writing from FYEO and Hamlish's BeeGees-like tracks in TSWLM

[Incanus 5,713]

Michael Kamen's Band of Brothers one his best scores. Absolutely beautiful. Kamen's orchestrations here are simply superb and the atmosphere, themes and tone form a world of their own.

[Hitch 57]

Jerry Goldsmith's BABY - great synths

Ryan Shore's HEADSPACE - boy can this boy write good music. Watch out Michael Giacappucino.
