This Camp is for lovers of music in games, movies or music generally.

Let’s just deal with the obvious disappointments first, before we go into the non-disappointing parts. Disappointment number 1: There’s only 44 minutes of music here. Where’s the rest!? 44 minutes feels so short when listening to one of the most exciting scores of the decade. Why oh why do we have to wait for the unofficial complete score to be released when it’s obvious there’s more music out

Saw the film last week and, oddly enough, one of the bigger difficulties I suffered during the screening was my attempt to tune into what composer DANNY ELFMAN was doing with his score.
Other than the opening title sequence, there was no clear quote of Brad Fiedel's iconic Terminator-percussion riff, nor one of his original Terminator melody. This lone appearance of the percussive-motif is

Some loved the film, some didn't. I personally felt it was a great follow-up to Casino Royale (part 2 if you like). The soundtrack is something altogether both engaging and disappointing. I have all the Bond soundtracks from way back, so comparisons will be unavoidable.
David Arnold's score, however, is another step up from his previous Bond work, and for the first time in his 007 scoring

Having played this game at a mate's I was captivated by the music that issued forth from it, and just proves that game music really has come a long way.
As a start "Opening Credits" begins. It's as epic as an opening should be. Cinematic! The upcoming atmosphere is great staged and in this way it continues. "The Timekeeper" is not less epic than its antecessor. You are really taken in by the

Everyone knows how much of a fan of Peter Molyneaux I am (baff!), but I won Fable II here on SI so I thought I'd do a review of the score.
This fantasy journey starts with "Fable Theme". An exciting and powerfull beginning. Directly after this opening "Old Town" familiarizes you softly into the Fable saga. It emphasizes very strong the mystical atmosphere which becomes much greater in

Whilst not limited to games, this Camp broadens it's focus to encompass music in anything and everything. As with my first review, this one is film-based. I re-watched the movie recently, and have owned the soundtrack for years so I thought it worthy of publishing.
The Perfect Storm composed and conducted by James Horner, does a fantastic job which is worthy of the name "Perfect". Many of the

Yes, another one. But I've been writing these for my own interest for a while so I'll share. This game doesn't appeal to all, especially many jaded by Oblivion, but I thought this section might be of interest to the Wasteland explorers out there. In particular, one part of the theme crops up in many discussions of the music: Galaxy News Radio.
