[Thor Joachim Haga]

Having a funky good time with this 1973 score — composed by the world’s oldest film composer, John William (“Johnny”) Pate, who turned 101 in December.

After their somewhat disappointing GODS & MONSTERS (2008), which took Juno in a more rock/poppy direction that I liked, they thankfully returned to their roots in this album from 2013, with long, epic, funky psytrance tracks. Especially the opening, 10-minute “Final Frontier”.

[Thor Joachim Haga]

Absolutely heartbreaking score, one of the best from 2014. Shades of SCHINDLER’S LIST, but slightly more accessible, emotionally.

Thor must be melting away when he hears those choir pieces.

I use no. 6 to get my kids to sleep.

Looking forward to sampling it (despite, sadly, my tinnitus worsening over the last week, hopefully not for forever).

[Thor Joachim Haga]

Quite eclectic, but mostly an elegant film noir score with brooding melodicism. Definitely a highlight of 2011.

[Nick Zwar]

Not a film score, but for some reason the right album tonight.

[GerateWohl]

What’s that?

Agnes Obel – Aventine
Sorry, I didn’t pay attention to the fact that the cover doesn’t have any text.

[GerateWohl]

I just checked it on Spotify. Calm and beautiful.
Thank you for the hint.
Sounds to me a little like the result if you filtered all the calmest parts of early Tori Amos songs into new ones.

[Nick Zwar]

I can see why you said that…. both Tori Amos and Agnes Obel are singer/songwriters with a classical piano background, so I see the connection. I actually do have all of Tori Amos’ albums and liked Agnes Obel from her debut album “Philharmonics”.

[Thor Joachim Haga]

Always loved these ethno-orchestral/east-west hybrid scores, and Rosenthal delivers for this relatively unknown 1979 effort.
