Author	Topic: What r your thoughts on these score???

meegle Oscar® Winner	I just purchased a butt-load of scores and have yet to listen to them all or they just haven't arrived yet. I am curious about what ya'll think of them. DANTE'S PEAK - The movie is alright I guess. I really like the "theme" for the score. FACE OFF - I listened to this one a bit and it's pretty good!! I hated the film though!! FOR YOUR EYES ONLY - Not really enjoying this one so far... HIGH SPIRITS - Well I really enjoy this movie now and again (I'm prolly the only one huh?) Haven't heard the score yet. LAST ACTION HERO - Love Kamen for the most part. THE LAST STARFIGHTER - 80's cheese anthems...it's ok takes me back a little. MARY REILLY - This one was an ok film. Haven't listened to it yet. THE MASK - I honestly can't remember the music from this film. MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE 2 - I guess there's another post with this score alone. My fave Zimmer score is SMILLA'S SENSE OF SNOW. Thanks in advance for your input!! [This message has been edited by meegle (edited 16 June 2000).]

JJH Oscar® Winner	Face/ Off is an awful CD. except for the main theme in the first track. to John Powell for this score. Mary Reilly, to borrow from Carter Burwell, is a 'Exercise in Darkness.' It'll take some getting used to, but it is wonderful dark music. give it a chance. NP -- la Leggenda del Pianosta sull'Oceano<-- someone sent me the Italian import out of the blue. Seriously, who sent it? I didn't order it, not that I'm complaining here....

AaronR1074 Oscar® Winner	Good job! I love "The Last Starfighter" by Craig Safan. Very stylish and way cool anthems. Although there is very little besides the main theme. It's still a nice well-rounded piece. A little side note: It was written for an expanded orchestra with 6 trumpets and 6 trombones. You can definately hear it For Your Eyes Only is typical Bond with a Rocky sound...IE Bill Conti mixed with John Barry. Not bad for the series...although I still prefer the Barry/Arnold sounds. NP - Superman "Prologue and Main Title" (John Williams) I'm SOOOOOOOOO glad they finaly released this version. Sounds so much more complete, and I love the way it builds up to the march.

Will Oscar® Winner	Face/Off has it moments, but it still does not live up to my expectations. Tracks 1, 3, and 8 are the only ones I listen to. Overall an ok, average CD, from my opinion.

Camillu Oscar® Winner	Hey JJH, how's the music that isn't found on the US release? (1900) NP - The Abyss (some parts really sound like The Mission)

Richard Oscar® Winner	You know, it's funny you mention the Abyss sounding like something Camillu, because Jeron pointed out to me a few weeks ago, how much it sounded like Brainstorm by Horner. When I heard samples of the two, they were almost identical.

SPOR Oscar® Winner	The only one I could possibly see you playing in its entirety more than twice would be HIGH SPIRITS.
