MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN - Patrick Doyle
-I love what Doyle does with all of Branagh's Shakespeare films, and if I remember this score complimented the film well (though I'm not big on the film). And, low and behold, it was a common title in Brian's Doyle thread from a few weeks back.

PLUNKETT & MACLEANE - Craig Armstrong
-You know, they had Armstrong's WTC score for only $7.99 but I decided to buy an Armstrong score that I was already fond of and would have a great time listening to. The few tracks I already have on a mix CD already have me ecstatic as to what else he has to offer on the disc. And, low and behold, PK and Sean were in a heated arguement about masters of synth and orchestra in a current thread and this was a common title listed.

KING OD THE ANTS - Bobby Johnston
-I love these little titles that Michael and Ford get a hold of at La La Land and I've noticed this listed a few times on ads at this site and FSM. Needless to say, I was intrigued. I love a good horror score and experimental stuff is always an interesting listen. Johnston seems to be a very small-time composer, as his credits listed on the inside of the case display a handful of what seem like DTV horror and thriller projects. But, Stuart Gordon is a very stylish director when it comes to the genre and he usually knows what he wants. I'm listening to it now and it's difficult to place in a category, the music is different, for sure, very experimental orchestra (and NO SYNTHS!), but it's a bit light on the jumpy horror crap (which is great) and focuses more on building an atmosphere. If anyone is interested in this title, I'd be happy to send a track or two.

Indeed you did Marian. Doyle's love theme that is featured most prominently in "The Wedding Night" is a superb composition of both restraint and grandiose (it's his damn strings, the guy does them so well).

Sin City - Rodriguez, Debney, Revell

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire - Doyle

PULSE - Elia Cmiral
- I've always felt that Cmiral is an often-overlooked composer. His work in the horror genre goes by mostly unseen because of the crap he is often subjected to provide musical accompaniment. After one listening of the score, I thought it was a well-done "shock" horror score, meaning that many of the cues are more action and fright oriented whereas a majority of the quieter and more thematic cues are pretty short (a little disappointing too, though "Video Diary" stands out as a good, thorough theme). The album runs just under 50 minutes (perfect for a horror/thriller album of this nature) with three tacked on band songs (two at the beginning and an interesting piece at the end). This is a good recommendation for fans of the genre and fans of Cmiral. Other aficianados may be turned off by the frequent, frantic suspense cues early on, but they might enjoy the later, more thematic cues. It's definitely one of the better horror scores since Beltrami sort-of reinvented how these pictures were scored with his original Scream score.

TROY - Unknown Composer
- I have no clue how this might have ended up in my collection, but God bless the fact that it did. And that's all I should say of this so-sad-that-it-remains-vastly-unheard masterpiece.

I just picked up Fellini Rota (Nino Rota). Forgot how much Rota's music he wrote for Fellini's films remind me of Danny Elfman.

I picked up Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I can't believe I waited so long to get it! I'm planning on getting Mary Shelley's Frankenstein by Patrick Doyle. I snippets of it on a podcast and it sounded beautiful! Patrick Doyle never lets me down! Never saw the film though.
