With 'Rocky Balboa' coming out, I've been listening to various 'Rocky' cuts, especially Vince DiCola's work in 'Rocky IV'.

Speaking of Rocky, I'm listening to "Rocky Balboa: The Best Of Rocky". Which features more Bill Conti's score.

I've been meaning to pick that up... Does it have the 'Rocky Balboa' version of 'Gonna fly now' on it?

'Anvil of Crom' by Basil Poledouris... Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to drink a flagon of mead and eat some raw meat.

You guys should check out Alan Silvestri, I find him really amazing!

He has done the Polar Express Suite, Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Practical Magic...all of which i love.

His stuff also includes The Bodyguard, The Abyss, Back to the Futures, and a bunch more.

You're right, Alan Silvestri is quite good, but, unfortunately, he does not seem to get enough work. I'd still like to hear his take on Pirates of the Caribbean...

Currently listening to Mozart's Requiem Mass -- Sir Neville Marriner and Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.

Not a film score, but a score nonetheless and an absolutely breathtaking hour's worth of music!

Seconded. The Mummy Returns was one of my favorite action scores of the last decade and I would have loved to hear his version of a high seas adventure score in the same vein.

Currently listening to a lot of Blood Diamond. Somewhat unremarkable action music, but the main melody and ethnic flavor don't disappoint.

If you like that ethnic flavor and haven't heard Zimmer's Tears of the Sun, you might want to pick it up. Overall it's not a remarkable score, but the last two tracks alone are worth the price of the CD.

Currently listening to The Empire Strikes Back. It's probably been close to six or so months since I've listened to a SW score, so it seemed like an appropriate time to bring this one out.

I finally picked up Air Force One by Jerry Goldsmith. From my first listen it seems as if Patrick Doyle might be channeling Goldsmith's spirit in his score to Eragon.
