Dr_Pangloss Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Just a couple of that come to mind. Phillip Glass's work in Candyman: Eurythmics in the underrated 1984 movie starring John Hurt Willie Hutch's work in the Pam Grier movie Foxy Brown e.g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidlewis Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Basically Hans Zimmer entire catalogue.... his concerts are astonishingly good. he captures the emotions of the movie and scene better than any composer I’ve listened to. notable songs Time - Inception Supermarine - Dunkirk (astonishing to run to as well) Pride Rock - Lion King Molosus - Batman Begins Now We are Free and The Battle - Gladiator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it’s definitely ‘Bond’ with the string arrangements but I half expected/wanted it to go up a notch but it kind of just meanders along in an inoffensive manner. certainly not as dull as the Sam Smith one for Spectre (however that rather aptly suited the equally inisipid film!)

Harmonically it could be any Bond theme, string pads Hawaiian guitar. What a dirge. I thought the film composers usually wrote the song and they just got the artists to sing them (or give them a 'co-write' credit.) Maybe because Zimmer took over half way through they didn't do that this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 @TheAuthority Try this Recommend following them on Facebook, may have mentioned that before? Jari continuously experiments in sound, he continuously blows my mind. Paul's a classy musician with it. A really potent mix. That's my favourite album of the '10s. Scores and soundtracks are a bit naff these days Follow a group on FB that's quite well informed, but the music is bleurgh. I don't think it's a meritocracy. No mark 60s Italian films are often better scored than the fattest budget blockbusters of the present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted February 18, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2020 @Xann I have that Pepe Deluxe album! I think on a recommendation from you on VT ! It's very cool. Italian Westerns have great soundtracks - do you know Nino Rota? He even wrote a trombone concerto! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a coffee van that plays 'The Godfather' in the locality Don't have much Rota in any incarnation tbh. 'La Strada' and 'Il Gattopardo' are about it for him under his own name here, though there may be a couple of tracks on themed comps? Will pick up 'Amarcord' if I see it cheap? We did keep a collection of his orchestral works when I was selling classical stuff, but can't recall having heard the trombone concerto tbh. Will give it a go. See a piano works on CPO too. Hmmmm.... ? Staying in Italy, but dropping the budget a bit - Riz Ortolani. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted April 4, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2020 Another Phillip Glass soundtrack. Don't know that I'd necessarily want to listen to it on its own, but I remember being blown away by how well it fit the film. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
