This third one is the one I really like (the second one is great to, really digging the jazz writing). I love this kind of music. Reminds me a littlebit of John Barry and Arnold's Casino Royale City of Lovers. Not sure, either way great stuff.
A very promising composer, I should check out more of his work.
This score has been on my radar to get, but with all the other releases as of late, I've been putting it off. Maybe it's time to check it out. I like Malo's work so far, especially the "Heaven" cue on "The Celestine Prophecy." Really good score if you haven't heard it.
Anyone familiar with them? I'd definitely love to get them all, but they seem impossible to find...
So having caught the Nuno Malo "bug" I've been also very curious about these albums. I tried searching on the Tawainese Record Label's website but the albums don't seem to be listed anymore.
So I looked Nuno Malo on Facebook, added him as a friend and asked him directly! He said:
"Those 3 albums you mentioned were comissioned by a record label in Taiwan. They are available there. I heard they are also available on certain temples that are associated with the commissioning record company." He added that:
"There is a temple in Los Angeles that I think sells it. You can write to them and ask them if it is available in Canada. Their email is info@ibps.org"
He also gave me a link to a song from Morning Star that's available on YouTube. It's lovely.
Well at least we know they don't have them. I also got the same response, and thought the "Joining Palms" signature was nice.
There are a few more Nuno Malo clips on YouTube - I think they may be from the Morning Star album
