    And I forgot. GTAV.

    It was good but the Tangerine Score felt too intensely beautiful for a game that in the end felt very limited and not quite as deeeeeep as those exquisite soundscapes them Germans were cooking up.

      Yeah, the Tangerine Dream stuff that kicks off in random, ad hoc stand offs with police is just absolutely brilliant.

        You know what time it is.

        That early-on mission where Franklin and Lamar check out the garages...that choon has never left my head since I first heard it in 2013, it's sublime, it's beautiful incidental music that totally steals the show.

          Perfect Dark Zero. Most of the soundtrack has aged quite badly, but a few tunes still stand out.



          The first game's music is still ahead of its time (2023).

                Films:

                Ghostbusters(according to my wife. She said the theme song was better than the film. Shameful, really, but I'm stuck with her)

                  The actual Elmer Bernstein music is amazingly defining and classy but I saw Ghostbusters aged 9 in Dec '84 and I was looking forward to it sooooooo much and the movie I saw never excited me, it was a really good movie and I rewatched it loads as a kid...but it's...not funny. Not at all, really. I've never laughed at Ghostbusters, not even as a kid, even when he said "arse".

                  Am I the only person who never found Ghostbusters funny at all???

                  Weird thing is my warmth for this movie is quite big and the movie has warmth, I like it loads!

                    I might have to watch it again, last time was the late 90s on VHS, I'm a much more solid person these days, jeez I was hopeless back then.
