Well, Brian Tyler again goes through the motions of copying many popular and famous composers with Annapolis: James Horner's score for Glory can be heard loudly in the following tracks: "Annapolis," "Find Out Who You Are," and "Annapolis Finale"; immitations of James Horner's action music from Courage Under Fire/Titanic can be heard in the action cue, "Showdown" (it's amazing that a ripper such as Horner is getting ripped by someone else); "Progression" and "Annapolis End Title" feature more variations on themes heard before, this time from Trevor Jones's score to G.I. Jane, which is actually a riff on Hans Zimmer's Crimson Tide music, to be fair; and finally, the piece "Second Chances" gives us Brian Tyler's version of the martial Tom Cruise theme from The Last Samurai. There's also some cheaply done electro-pop-metal stuff that goes in the action music. Stay away.

PeterK FishChip	I am just now listening to this The World's Fastest Indian CD. This is a weird score, and all I seem to be able to remember of it is a not-so-subtle knockoff of Newman's theme from American Beauty. The action tracks are orchestral and electronic mixing in a smorgasbord fashion that seems to be the musique du jour, while the quiet parts are slow piano (always sensitive and good Mike Lang) and very soft strings. There's nothing super aspiring musically, which I kind of expected considering the subject matter!

Dinko Standard Userer	Sean that's disturbing. Someone out-Hornering Horner. On the other hand, I am a sucker for those Zimmer jingles and variations on them...

Its frightening stuff, but to be honest, the Zimmer re-do/makeover/blah blah blah that Tyler is apt to do are not that interesting. Brian Tyler did the Gladiator thing in Children of Dune and it's probably the weakest stuff in that score, but Tyler's take on Trevor Rabin's Deep Blue Sea in that same score is kick-ass ... I wanna hear Tyler copy some Batman Begins action music in his next action score and then we'll see Ryan eat his own foot.

Mark Olivarez Standard Userer	Sorry PK I take one look at that list and see nothing that's worthwhile, IMHO of course.

rkeaveney Standard Userer	Sean, I'm honored that you have your very own Brokeback Crush on me that you feel the need to not only indirectly write about me in posts about Brian Tyler (you are the master of baiting, Sean), but also explicitly mention me in others! Seriously, cowboy - I dig chicks, and not the ones that tuck their package back up. As for ANNAPOLIS, where you hear GLORY, I hear Vaughn Williams. I understand how you missed that, as your TV Dinner film music tastes are as deep and comprehensive as the soundtrack section in a Alabama Wal-Mart. So, light some candles in your Saskatoon basement apartment, head out on the snowmobile, swing by Cachet's house and take him - excuse me, her - back for some No Name salsa and chips and enjoy a thorough workout to Badelt's contribution to original film music, THE TIME MACHINE.

PeterK FishChip	I blame Canada for all this nonsense....

sean Standard Userer	quote: Originally posted by PeterK: I blame Canada for all this nonsense.... Yeah me too. Anyway, to Ryan, my comments on your, I guess, treasured Analapolis score had nothing to do with "baiting" you, but my second post about Batman Begins could be re-read in whatever special fashion you choose, I guess�and seriously, I don't give a damn (and I don't think anyone else does) whether or not you "dig chicks." You shouldn't have that compelling urge you seem to repeatedly feel to reassert your apparent heterosexuality in response to my posts; I find it amusing and/or sad that I post something on this site and you promptly respond with homophobia and more "reassertion" of why Ryan Keaveney is not gay (God forbid!)�it's kind of strange. As for Saskatoon: I've never been there. As for your little gay "Cachet joke," which I don't quite understand (since that kind of musing on your part has absolutely nothing to with anything), its pretty uncreative and typically conservative on your part (and you also made the false assumption that I enjoy music by Klaus Badelt; his music stinks, everyone knows that except for zimmerito). And as for Glory, you're right, I agree, I hear Vaughn Williams ... you can also Horner do more of that V. Williams imitation in Troy.

BigT1981 Standard Userer	I believe this was all the negativity that Peter was trying to point out in his thread of his that he made the other day. Just calm down gentlemen no need to get in a pissing contest because someone has a different taste in film orchestra music than someone else. Geez. Edit: Also no need to get in a pissing contest because of someone else' comments. You all are acting like school children. [Message edited by BigT1981 on 01-25-2006]

scoreguy16 Standard Userer	Hey hey now fella's. Lets all just take a wee little chill pill. I think Peter was asking about the new releases. Apparently Annapolis is a typical Tyler ripoff (I do enjoy his ripoffs quite a bit though). I guess The New World is a step up for Horner, but again, I haven't seen or heard the movie though I want to pretty badly. I'm not THAT interested in the score though, just because it's Horner. The only one on that list that I actually have heard was Wedding Crashers. I like Rolfe Kent quite a bit. His comedy scores seem to add a bit of class to the movie. Especially 40 Days and 40 Nights. That's what I noticed the most about that movie, it was completely unexpected and brought the movie up quite a few notches. Same with Mean Girls (very funny movie by the way). Clayton NP>Cinderella Man (which is missing my favorite cue from the movie!!!)

PeterK FishChip	Close the borders! But then again, maybe the new conservative mounties won't care about inspecting mail packages so closely. I am still waiting for the time when packages to Canada are delivered before other packages shipped on the same day arrive in Australia. Clayton, true true on the Rolfe Kent tip! Matador wasn't released on 1/24, but this is still a good opportunity to mention the score tracks that appear on the CD. He clearly has a unique sound... I didn't even realize his music was on the CD, recognized the style, double checked the tracklisting and voila. I am happy there's a composer out there whose music I can blindly recognize. That is to be appreciated in a world where everything sounds so much the same! There really are only a handful of composers who've achieved this.

sean Standard Userer	Clayton, The New World is certainly a step up for Horner. Even though it's a Terrence Malick film, the score isn't a big departure the way The Thin Red Line was for Hans Zimmer; I don't think anything he'd previously written could even compare. With The New World there are several musical quotes from Horner's own Braveheart score, but they are kept to a minimum. The score on CD seems to be different than the selections used in the film�a good example is the choir present in Horner's score on CD and barely present (if at all) in the film. I wasn't keen at all on Horner scoring this movie, but I admit he exceeded my expectations. Peter: I see what you're saying, but come on. I made a comment about Ryan eating his foot because he hated Batman Begins and I was just thinking out loud that's its only a matter of time before Brian Tyler copies that score, AND THEN Ryan get's pretty "serious" and goes on about homosexuality, his own heterosexuality (which he constantly feels the need to share with all of us at moviemusic.com), and than some more with an unfunny homophobic Canada joke. I can totally understand that person wanting to comment on Anapolis, but all the rest is just crazy, on his part.
