Except that Broughton wouldn't be afraid that his box of magic tricks was gonna go off and get a composing career, leaving him all alone to struggle along and look bad.

IMHO.

John,

You aer starting to sound like Avi Hern (or is it Hearn), regarding David Arnold.

Mr. Arnold is a talented man in his own right and your comments regarding him and Mr. Dodd are out of line and highly disrepectful for no good reason.

So may I suggest the following....


PULL THE BROOM OUT OF YOUR ASS ALREADY ABOUT ARNOLD, we know you have some issue with him over him scoring the bond films instead of John Barry...

Bottomline is this...

DAVID ARNOLD is the person doing it now with Mr. Barry's blessing by all accounts...

STOP PISSING ON HIM FOR TAKING A JOB HE WAS OFFERED AND IN THE OPINION OF MOST FOLKS HAS DONE A PRETTY DAMN GOOD JOB...

GET OVER IT ALREADY!!!!!!!!

Chill out.

IMHO of course.

STOP PISSING ON HIM FOR TAKING A JOB HE WAS OFFERED AND IN THE OPINION OF MOST FOLKS HAS DONE A PRETTY DAMN GOOD JOB...Ford A. Thaxton

Thanks Ford! :-)

Well... for the record, I have no objections to Arnold scoring Bond instead of Barry. I object to him scoring them BADLY, IMHO.

As for him being "offered" the job, well as I heard it, he did a fair amount of self publicity in order to get the job. His stated quite clearly in an interview in MFTM circa 1994 (the release of Goldeneye) that he wanted the Bond gig and his "Shaken Not Stirred" album was a pretty conveniently-timed piece of showing off.

And as for being talented... well I'm sure he has some talent, but as to how much... well I'll get back to you on that when I hear something that Nicholas Dodd didn't orchestrate (I'm guessing I'll have to wait a while).

All IMHO obviously.

John

You do of course understand that you are in the minority on this view?

Which got him the OFFER to do the job....

If the producers didn't like what he had done they would have offered him the gig..

QED....

Which isn't what you said earlier....

Nor was it anywhere near as nicely put either...

Going back on topic here...

It appears the CD for RENAISSANCE is available on iTunes from Hollywood Records. No word on an actual U.S. CD release.

It's an absolutely terrific score for a very neat movie. Could you post the iTunes link?

You and I agree on this - but since Arnold has never scored a Bond movie badly, your complaint is utterly baseless.

Why is it I get the feeling if you stopped posting, no one would care or notice, since all you do is troll on and on about Arnold anyway?

Hi,
The movie was released in France at the beginning of the year. It's a really good film with a strong plot and a really original work on the graphic design.
The score by Nicholas Dodd isn't my cup of tea. Nevertheless, it suits well in the movie. There's around 25 minutes of original music on the cd. The sequencing is really bad because the flaw of the score is always interrupted by these crap electro/techno tracks that you don't here in the film. And as you might guess, a lot of music is missing. The Naïve label always conceive strong soundtrack albums except in this case.

I just got the actual CD from Footlight in NY. It's the special edition from France in a long rectangular book which is beautiful.

There are three techno tracks that were NOT in the film which I saw yesterday.

The score is very good in the film but there are a lot of short tracks, so it may not be as long as the previous poster suggested.

FYI, the iTunes listing omits the 3 tracks NOT in the film but wrongly credits the last track to Nicholas Dodd when it is by Louis Warbeck. (Is Louis Warbeck related to Stephen Warbeck?)

Just made a blind buy on this for $6CAD including shipping. By the sounds of it, I think I did good!
