(Roque Banos)     1 2    NEXT   LAST   Last Post   Posted:   Sep 4, 2014 - 10:04 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EExthd58YuI I love how it recalls that euphoric sound Ennio captured in his questing Untouchables theme. I was playing through my 2 disc 'Una Musica De Cine Espanol vol 1' to listen to any other Victor Reyes stuff out there - after receiving his Red Lights score - and this blinder of a track (by Roque Banos) opened things up. Enjoy.    Posted:   Sep 4, 2014 - 4:05 PM     By:   bobbengan   (Member) Yup, this is a damn good one from Roque. I've cited this score, GOD IS ON THE AIR, as one of his grandest and most Rozsa-esque scores to date. There's more statements of massive, awe-inspired choral cues throughout the CD, as well as beautiful softer renditions and a few moments of creepy dissonance foreshadowing EVIL DEAD. But, of course, no one on this board will want to discuss it, because, you know... Not Goldsmith and all... And would require people to go off the beaten path to discover it. Same reason I can't get anyone to discuss Michiru Oshima or Merrill Jenson's music either.    Posted:   Sep 4, 2014 - 9:03 PM     By:   Squiddybop   (Member) No Somos Nadie is still my favorite Baños score. The final track is heartbreakingly beautiful. And by pure coincidence just today I got a new CD with some Michiru Oshima music on it. Shame it turns out her contribution is only a single track.    Posted:   Sep 4, 2014 - 9:15 PM     By:   bobbengan   (Member) No Somos Nadie is still my favorite Baños score. The final track is heartbreakingly beautiful. Are you familiar with Banos' GOYA IN BORDEAUX from around the same time? It's like the antithesis of 'Nadie' - A depressing masterwork of choral dissonance, brooding tones and morbid woodwind writing. It's one of his earlier ventures, from 1999, and effectively evokes Sibelius' 'Swan' and Ligeti at the same time. A very interesting listen, of not always an easy one!    Posted:   Sep 4, 2014 - 11:13 PM     By:   Squiddybop   (Member) I've only heard samples of it, but it's not one I own. Of his earlier works, I would say my favorites are No Somos Nadie, followed by Salomé, Carreteras secundarias and La Voz de su Amo.    Posted:   Sep 5, 2014 - 3:15 AM     By:   bobbengan   (Member) I've only heard samples of it, but it's not one I own. Of his earlier works, I would say my favorites are No Somos Nadie, followed by Salomé, Carreteras secundarias and La Voz de su Amo. Carreteras Secundarias (Back Roads) is the score that first turned me onto Banos, even though it wasn't my first exposure to his music (that would be THE MACHINIST, a score I admire greatly but don't listen to all that much). That beautiful main title really caught my attention, even though I later learned it was pretty heavily inspired by the daybreak sequence from Ravel's DAPHNIS ET CHLOE. Not familiar with LA VOZ DE SU AMO so I'll be sure to hunt that one down! Are you familair with this beauty? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFV-fqakzQ8    Posted:   Sep 5, 2014 - 3:59 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) Hey look, I brought you two guys together! I will give that youtube clip a go when I get home tonight bobb (in work at the mo' and youtube is blocked in here).    Posted:   Sep 5, 2014 - 6:33 AM     By:   ian642002   (Member) But, of course, no one on this board will want to discuss it, because, you know...

Can't wait to dig in!    Posted:   Sep 5, 2014 - 12:50 PM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) "Are you familair with this beauty?" ----------------------- Very nice indeed. Almost Pino Donaggio-like in it's beauty and mystery vibe.    Posted:   Sep 5, 2014 - 2:38 PM     By:   bobbengan   (Member) Took the opportunity to order some more early Baños. Can't wait to dig in! Mastage, which ones did you order?    Posted:   Sep 5, 2014 - 2:40 PM     By:   bobbengan   (Member) "Are you familair with this beauty?" ----------------------- Very nice indeed. Almost Pino Donaggio-like in it's beauty and mystery vibe. Interesting! Never made that association but I can definitely hear it now. For me it recalls Lee Holdridge's more lyrical string writing of that time period - those high, "singing" violins. Maybe even Trevor Jones in his more romantic mode.    Posted:   Sep 5, 2014 - 3:47 PM     By:   Morricone   (Member) Did not know this was about Banos or I would have been here earlier. Speaking of Goldsmith, the reason I worshipped him is he was one of very few composers who would surprise me so much! Following him was a frigging adventure. There were not a lot after him who could do that but Alexandre Desplat definitely brought back my enthusiasm. And as I said to Banos at Dark Delicacies over a year ago "You are the new Desplat". My problem is folks here think he has written maybe 5 scores and for them he has: THE MACHINIST, OLDBOY, SEXY BEAST and THE EVIL DEAD. I could scream in their ear the TORRENTE series is as good or better than the DIE HARD or LETHAL WEAPON series, but you see they have funny notes in Spanish and they have to be ordered from overseas so forget it. I could tell them there are Goldsmith size careers hidden behind Banos, Desplat and Morricone but because they are in Spanish, French and Italian they won't make the effort. So if someone gets turned on by "La voz de su amo" and maybe grabs one of his compilations: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROQUE-BANOS-IN-CONCERT-CD-DVD-/151387856537?pt=B%C3%BCcher_Unterhaltung_Music_CDs&hash=item233f6b5e99 and we could get some momentum going that would be cool. But I doubt it.    Posted:   Sep 5, 2014 - 4:02 PM     By:   JohnnyG   (Member) Enjoy!    Posted:   Sep 5, 2014 - 7:57 PM     By:   mastadge   (Member) Mastage, which ones did you order? Most of the ones listed in this thread, naturally. Some of his old deleted ones are really expensive, though. Out of curiosity, any idea why the price for the French release of Salome is so high when the Japanese release is so cheap and readily available? Do the European editions offer anything that can't be had on the Japanese edition?    Posted:   Sep 5, 2014 - 8:22 PM     By:   Squiddybop   (Member) Actually, I just checked the tracklist for Salomé on Amazon Japan, and if the listing is accurate then it looks like the Japanese release has an additional track that's not on either the French or Spanish releases. The Japanese album starts with a track called "Intrusion of Herod" rather than "Apertura, palacio de Herodes" which is the first track on the other releases.    Posted:   Sep 6, 2014 - 1:35 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) I think this is a great primer - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Recopilatorio-Cds-Libro-Roque-Ba%C3%B1os/dp/B003MB2E3K/ref=sr_1_16?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1409990086&sr=1-16&keywords=roque+banos - if you want to delve into his earlier, Spanish scores in bite-size chunks. It's a cool, little hardcover book, with nice glossy colour pages, which houses two CD's (safely) full of his stuff. Well worth checking out.    Posted:   Sep 6, 2014 - 6:02 AM     By:   Valiant65   (Member) Have been going over my Roque scores, prompted by this thread. Now playing his score for "Fragiles"(2005), a horror film which features several beautiful tracks that seem to twist their way into the imagination. Listen to "Sad Women" (track 3), "Negligence" (track 9) & "Requiem For Amy" (track 16) which culminate in the emotional "They Just Stay Near What They Love" (track 17). Strong echoes of Donaggio to be sure.    Posted:   Sep 6, 2014 - 3:18 PM     By:   bobbengan   (Member) My problem is folks here think he has written maybe 5 scores and for them he has: THE MACHINIST, OLDBOY, SEXY BEAST and THE EVIL DEAD.

Couldn't have said it any better. This bothers me to no end. People spend so much time complaining about the crap coming out of Hollywood - Hello people! Look elsewhere then for quality. Well put, good sir.     General Discussion: Have You Heard This?
