Hello all 4 of you who know/read my blog!

This week's asoundingly memorable cue from a score is the track "London", from James Newton Howard's 2006 score for drama/action movie Blood Diamond.

It's a remarkable track with beautiful buildup, beginning with a brief melody from an instrument I can't place. It then opens into a fantastic piano track, that reminds me of Scorponok from Transformers (Steve Jablonsky) albeit much slower and more beautiful. From there, it receives appropriate reprising with African voices joining in, and all in all, it's 2 and a half minutes of wonderfulness (if that's a word).

Here's the link.
