[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”.

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.

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.

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.
