	Path of Miracles - Joby Talbot - Reviews
		Joby Talbot is an eclectic artist who composes for both film and television.
		Talbot's musical vocabulary is wide-ranging, including as it does Taiwanese vocal techniques (providing a haunting beginning), reflective refrains that suggest Pärt, a dash of blue close-harmony and, last but not least, an underlying preoccupation (whether conscious or unconscious I could not say) with the Anglican choral tradition and plainchant.
		Talbot did the pilgrimage himself and it's fantastic to have the chance to do it on the pilgrimage route itself.' October sees the release on Signum of Miserere (SIGCD085), with Renaissance and contemporary works.

	Joby Talbot @ The Almeida, London : gig review
		A rollercoaster ride of solo pieces, duets, ensembles and some Joby showcases ensued, although Dr Talbot confined himself to the seating for much of the first part, allowing a bewildering assortment of fellow musicians to tinkle his ivories.
		In the first half of Joby Talbot Portrait there was one especially striking piece, played on an instrument that I, in my ignorance, had never laid eyes upon before that fateful evening - an electric cello.
		Talbot initially seemed ill at ease with being the main man, perhaps unsure of the audience reaction which took some time to come to terms with what it was hearing, but soon seemed to enjoy himself, even during an overly long segment featuring, of all people, Michael Nyman.

		Joby, defining frankness, cites a number of reasons for why the band have not been playing live in the USA for years (the last proper gigs involved Neil and Joby as a twosome only and took place in 1997).
		Joby continues, "It was a challenge to make some of these dodgy songs sound good, but Fin de Siecle had been done and then the best of album (A Secret History) came out and we weren't really doing anything.

		Talbot's reworking of old material- the show's theme entwines itself into many pieces here, and the haunting, ethereal tune that closes out the last episode of the third series also ends the film.
		Joby Talbot understands that a comedy score doesn't have to be made of "cartoonish" cues and "please laugh here" themes (although he did some of those in his "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" soundtrack, but they were good!).
		Talbot's music for the League's three tv series' set a new standard for tv title & score music which no-one has come close to matching (the League's acknowledged love of films was a major influence on the look of the series & the amazingly high production values that the three series' achieved).

		Joby- I think like all this sort of consumerist culture, which haven't--which we don't certainly have in Britain, I think because of the war and everything, and there was rationing until about two years ago or something.
		Joby- When I was smoking he was fucking, 'no you can't smoke in the van blahblah blah', but now that I've given up he's chain smoking all the way along.
		Joby- But anyway, East and West Coast: When we arrived in Los Angeles, I was like this is the biggest airport I've ever seen and there we were like actually like downtown.

	The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Joby Talbot
		Talbot's tune is rollocking fun and implants itself in the memory very swiftly.
		Journey of the Sorcerer is the only musical link to the original television serial, using the theme based on the song by Bernie Leadon (originally performed by the Eagles, no less) which, in the somewhat eclectic mixture, fits in nicely, although again, it could have been worked in effectively a few more times.
		Indeed the overall impression is of wishing Talbot had used his themes a little more often since those present are fine, they just don't appear often enough and the short tracks don't leave quite enough room for maneuver.

	League of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse: Joby Talbot: Film Music on the Web CD Reviews December 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		All done with constant changes from the present day Soho to the fictional film world of 17th Century Britain and a bunch of new characters along with the most beloved ones from the original TV series, this dark, gloomy and hilarious adventure was a great success as well.
		Coming fresh out of the musical success of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, composer Joby Talbot naturally drifted along and vividly pictured the movie’s madness straight into his grand, orchestral score.
		The entire work is based upon a memorable, successful and award-winning – albeit simple - main theme of a D, A and G sharp motif, constantly reinvented, transposed, shifted and re-worked into completely different musical ideas which altogether dominate the score.

	Movie Music UK — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — Joby Talbot
		Hitchhiker’s Guide purists will be delighted to know that Talbot has retained use of the seminal Eagles classic “Journey of the Sorcerer” as a theme tune; Bernie Leadon’s enormous prog-rock fanfare has become so synonymous with the series that it would have been sacrilege not to include it.
		In addition to the score, Talbot has also penned a number of original songs, most of which are musically brilliant, and all of which are intentionally hilarious.
		Its morose recapitulation in the “Reprise” by Talbot’s old Divine Comedy buddy Neil Hannon is an undisputed album highlight: imagine show tunes performed by Nick Cave, and with lyrics by the South Park gang, or Monty Python, and you’d be close.

		We’re sat in Joby’s lounge in South-East London, sipping coffee while builders are noisily hammering away outside.
		Joby, with so many people looking forward to the Hitchhiker’s movie, was there ever a concern that you were dealing with something sacred?
		I think that was probably the fear of everybody on the project, and the music probably gets away with it lighter than other things.

	The League of Gentleman's Apocalypse - Joby Talbot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Along with his other ventures, Joby Talbot has been the show's regular composer since the beginning and it's pleasing that he remains on board for the film.
		More coincidence than design I'm sure and The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse is a rather darker prospect, indeed there is little in the way of comedy music and the balance is much more between drama, a dash of horror, plus some period ideas.
		The film works in an historical aspect and to that end, Talbot contributes a Handel inspired harpsichord theme (performed by the composer) in Pig Funeral and picked up a little later in Arise Sir Geoffrey.
