Simply one one the best scores


Anyone else agree that the Merlin score by Trevor Jones easily rivals such other epic scores as James Horner's Braveheart and Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings? I think it's a phenomenal score and it's one of the best album investments I've ever made. It's infinitely listenable.

Gives James Horner the run for his money ha ha

This topic is ridiculous. I thought Trevor Jones score for Dark City was interesting, too bad this is a wholesale ripoff of that one. Not to mention that one of the MAJOR themes for Dark City was ripped straight of the pages Stravinsky's Rite of Spring; but I was willing to give him that one as I assumed that the director forced him to match the temp tracking exactlly.

No longer! What a hack!
