  1. Fracture (Chris Tilton & Chad Seiter)

    Custom made soundtrack. At over 30 minutes of solid action themes and fanfares, this has early videogame Giacchino's stamp all over it. Quite cool to hear the disciple of Michael continue in his master's footsteps and churn out something exciting.

    You mean a track titled in a way that send to that very scene, contains different music than the scene itself in the movie?


    no, the last track on the disc "I rise, you fall" doesn't contain the music which was heard in the scene in the movie, despite it being that very same scene. It seems (like in some other scores) they started that track by deleting material that came before it

    And it is that material I loved during the movie


    well well, it seems I spoke to soon
    my favourite music actually appears at the end of the previous track "I Claim your Sun"

    The "don't ever notice it", the self-copying thing. Just people getting over it at last.


    Ah, d'oh. face-palm-mt <-me

    Yes, I agree. But I still like discussing his self-plagiarism, because it's an intrinsic part of his style. (But as soon as the discussion turns negative, I would prefer not to continue with it.)
  5. NP: SOMETHING THE LORD MADE -- Christopher Young

    Typical Young lovely'ness, in the style of Horner's latest dramas from time to time smile

  6. NP: COMA -- Jerry Goldsmith

    Creepy disturbing music, with even most that will put LOST members to chills (man sometimes it is like listening to LOST shocked )

    The disco tunes are an embarrassment however

    is this better?

    well it is weaker but functional

    the only thing that bothers the shit out of me, where's the one moment I loved in the film? Well it doesn't appear to be on the CD at all, even though the track is on it


    Then the creators of the CD read your comment and :fistbump: (we really need one of these bregt)


    In the end, I'm glad you found that moment. I hate it when that happens.

    Interesting. I thought it was quite fitting with the helpless tone of the film in places; what was that which distracted you?


    I can't recall because I saw the film back in December but I do recall both my wife and I mentioning in places that the score just didn't work. There were a couple of lengthy sequences were I wish there was no score at all.

    Congratulations! An assembly of your peers has found you to be ... WRONG! beer

    Mighty Joe Young James Horner

    One of the most appealing things I find about many of Horner's scores is the strong dramatic narrative. Which is to say his scores always work best as a whole album rather than listening to individual tracks. It's just the way he approaches film scoring, it greatly differs to, say, John Williams who's themes can make for excellent compilation albums. (John Williams is a concert composer after all, and James Horner isn't.)

    That's not to say that Horner's scores can't work as compilation albums, but it's sometimes hard to pick out one cue from a Horner score that sums up the entire score. And that's exactly what I like about his scores. This one is a good example of that strong dramatic narrative. It's hard to explain in technical terms, it's more a feeling I guess.

    mmm.....

    After some tracks, I skipped to the "End Credits", wich contains a some kind of old fashioned western fanfarre, wich is really, really impressive. It's fucking cool.

    I was playing: Tarzan (Mancina, Collins)

    The score isn't memorable, but it's so nicely orchestrated that is pleasant to listen.

    And I must be one of the few guys who prefer Collins songs over Elthon John's Lion King.

    NP:Alien (Goldsmith)

    I always thought the main theme is a little bit annoying, but I love the soundscape Goldsmith create for the more atmospheric passages.

    Specially this, famous, woodwinds motif.

    I like both of them, but while TLK's songs had better underlying instrumentation and ethnic vocals, the percussion in Tarzan is kick ass! punk

    NP:War of the worlds ( Williams)

    My first Listen of the whole score.

    It's really impressive. Agressive, dissonant and inventive ( "Intersection scene" is brilliant). You have to be in the right mood, but I love this Williams sound.


    PS: These days, I was watching Spielberg's 3 Sci Fiction movies : Minority report (almost a masterpiece) , A.I (Almost a masterpiece) and War of the Worlds (great moments).
    Januz Kaminsky is great to create the look of this movies, but I pray for Spierlberg move on with a new guy.

    Last time i tried to play:

    MICHAEL GIACCHINO - land of the lost

    One of the most fragmented, odd and careless major scores of the year for me, in violent contrast to the beautifully uplifting and heartwarming "UP". I am glad it's not getting any attention.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Which is why I love the man! Well said.



    Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (James Hannigan)

    Can you imagine James Hannigan enter the film scoring business one day? I sure can. lick

    At least the wonderful music can lay the seeds in the minds of kids who play these things all over the world. So that one day they become full fledged score admirers.

    Ironic, I probably rate Land of Lost than the most enjoyable Giacchino's score this year. Inventive and with exiting action tracks.

    Ice age 3 is in the same league, very fragmented and underdevoloped but Powell put really powerfull orchestrations (in Bolt like sense of the meaning, not Horton hears fireworks ) into the mix to compensate it.

    As someone else on the board -can't remember who- said I'm "Giacchino'd out" for the moment.
    Land Of the Lost was a mess I will probbaly not return to (though I did enjoy the concept of mixing in banjos).
    Up didn't capture me either at first listen, but the overall mood and feel of the score make sme certain that I'll try that one again at some other time when I may be more disposed towards it.

    I agree. Land of the Lost has some really powerful moments, the last half of the score is amazing. As you say, very fragmented, and you can hear a lot of Lost esque cues, but the last half compensates it with impressive action cues.

    I was very pleased with Star Trek but slightly underwhelmed by Up, I have to say. Haven't heard the other one.

    Ok, so you didn´t listen Powell reinventing himself (once again) with this work. Again with an animated project, Powell shows originality, freshness, nice orchestrations, epic choral moments, all trademarked with Powell´s style when dealing with this kind of films. A winner.
