nightscape94 965 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 The score for "Dying Young" is a sweet little score. Nice themes, soft music....Super sweet.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxbabe 28 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I just saw Hidalgo finally. I've had the score for a while. Wow! Pick this one up, very enjoyable. A super Western adventure score. Sweeping grand themes, exciting action material, and cues with an Arabian flair. Ethnic instruments, exotic percussion...fun.Works great in film, especially liked the end, where his romantic Old West themes sing out over scenes of wild mustangs en masse running free over grassy hills.

Richard Penna 3,696 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 JNH is one of my favourite composers, so while I'm very disappointed for Shore (the prospect of having another LotR type score was huge), I'm now quite anticipating what Newton Howard will come up with, and I need a decent score from him after Batman Begins, which disappointed me.My favourite scores by him are Signs, Dante's Peak, Falling Down, The Village, Dinosaur, Waterwold & Wyatt Earp. Hidalgo is also very good (the last 2 tracks take my breath away every time, although I thought the movie sucked) and I gave the bootleg of My Best Friend's Wedding a listen yesterday - it's a travesty it wasn't given a proper release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SturgisPodmore 0 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Back to Dinosaur for a moment; it has many wonderful tracks:-Inner Sanctum-The Egg Travels - my favorite-Aladar and Neera-The Courtship-Across the Desert-Finding Water-Epilogue (pretty much the same as Egg, but a better arrangement) . . . and whichever track has that other theme played on strings, I think it's Breakout.An excellent album, definately pick it up!~Sturgis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 186 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I got it for 2€ some years ago. Overall enjoyable, but what bothers me is that parts of it sound really MV-ish (big blaring simple horn melody accompanied by orchestral hits, anyone?)

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Okay, I just bought Dinosaur for $12. My first James Newton Howard soundtrack. I'll post my thoughts on it later in the "What's the last score you listened to" thread after I've listened to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,696 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Actually John Frizzle did Dante's Peak, not James Newton Howard.Actually, JNH wrote the theme and several cues from the film. Given that it's not clear which these are, I usually consider it to be mainly a work by him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wonderful romantic comedy score, my favorite of his after Dave. The boto is so annoying- it's got all the music I'll ever need, but the sound is just so goddamn low.

But then again, your musical taste is notoriously bad, throwing Torn Courtain as you did.For your information, I'm alive and well as any 106 year old would be. As for my taste in music, it is pretty bizarre. Franz Waxman scoring CHEWREBECCA, Dimitri Tiomkin scoring DIAL N FOR NECROPHILIACS, John Williams scoring THE CAST OF FAMILY TIES' PLOT, Ron Goodwin scoring FRENZOID, Maurice Jarre scoring TOP-ASSZ, but poor John Addison scoring TURN UP THOSE TORN CURTAINS was perhaps 40 years on, the greatest decision Universal and I ever did. That hack Herrmann was pestering me about lending him money for his transexual operation. I booted his leaded ass out of the recording studio after I heard that he was getting the loan from that spiteful small little man, DePalma. Naturally, DePalma decided to make a movie of our little spat and the end result was that awful mess DRESSED TO KILL A PSYCHO. Does for razorblades what PSYCHO did for shower nozzles!
