Did You Know: There's a Minnesota Public Radio podcast devoted to video game scores?

If you didn't like Inon Zur's scores for Fallout: New Vegas or Dragon Age II, it turns out you can also blame his wife!

Just a quick reminder of the versatile musical genius that was Jerry Goldsmith.

Speaking of Goldsmith (and when are we not?), Twilight Time has started a series of limited DVD releases with isolated scores, notably including Fate Is the Hunter. Probably worth keeping an eye on: http://www.screenarchives.com/display_results.cfm?category=546

Does anyone here happen to know if there are dialogue-free versions of David Holmes' soundtracks for Out of Sight and the Ocean's movies?

It's probably been said a few times throughout this thread - but Jerry Goldsmiths score for The Secret Of NIMH is one of the great under-rated family film scores. Maybe one of the best actually.

Bruce Broughton's The Rescuers Down Under is right up there too.

Absolutely.

 

I've really been enjoying the very short score to ANTICHRIST by Lars von Trier & Kristian Eidnes. Very atmospheric and dark.

Bernard Herrmann would have been 100 years old today. His music, of course, remains ageless:

 

Vertigo

 

Cape Fear

 

The Day the Earth Stood Still

 

Hangover Square

 

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad

 

Psycho

 

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

I'm a big fan of his OBSESSION score:

Same here.  It's got an unnerving element of aggression that I also enjoy in his THE ROADBUILDER/NIGHT DIGGER score.  For me there's something especially weird about using an harmonica in anything other than a western or comedy film.

I caught this on TCM not too long ago and wept like a baby (my wife was merciless for the rest of the day!).  I'm not one for soppy/sappy romance films, but damn if this isn't one of the most perfect efforts from Herrmann.  The stark cinematography, the poignant agonies of the protagonists...he captures it perfectly and helps deliver a finale that's both heartbreaking and uplifting.

It's one of my all-time favorite films, and it always wrecks me.

Bought a CD of Jerry Goldsmith's Legend score for fifty cents at a Salvation Army.

Great score!

 

Brian Eno has been kicking ass for me lately with his APOLLO soundscapes from For All Mankind and his contribution to David Lynch's DUNE.

Recently revisited parts of HULK, and I have to say the movie is much better than most remember, and better than I gave it credit for back in the day. Among the more successful and thrilling aspects of the film would be the score, which stands IMHO as one of the best superhero scores for a MARVEL character
