    His style is about as un-unique as anyone's I can think of... a kind of generic mish-mash of lots of others. Funny how different people see things in different ways.

    While I agree he is a mish-mash of many other composer's styles he does have his own unique traits.

    He means that Debney's way of ripping is unique when compared to someone like, say, Tyler Bates. At least Debney actually bothers to change the notes after he listens to the temp track. smile

    NP: The Twilight Saga: New Moon - Alexandre Desplat

    It had been a long, LONG time since Desplat has completely floored me emotionally with any of his work. Well, I'm still only a few tracks in but the open cue "New Moon" is absolutely superb! I see that this album has an incredibly long running time so I hope this one holds up but with my past history with Desplat I have a feeling it won't... but I will keep an open mind. Let's see if you can hit another homerun this year like you did with Coco Avant Chanel.

    NOTE: The track "Romeo and Juliet" <-- punk


    So I finally finished this. It's a solid work but the middle portions loose me. Desplat makes up for it with a stunning conclusion but the weak middle section knocks this one down a few notches. It's a good score with one helluva main theme and some standout cues but I can't declare this as one of the years finest. Top 20 maybe but not Top 10.

    Trevor Jones at Soncinemad Trevor Jones

    This is the first time I've listened to anything from the Soncinemad concerts, for some reason I had always been wary of the sound quality. My fears have been well and truly quelled with this 2 disc set! This is wonderful, it has an endearing live feel rather than it being distracting.

    I'm very glad to hear another version of Merlin since it is my favourite Jones score. Though all of the tracks are stunning!
    love

    Well it has more in common with Cutthroat Island than Passion of the Christ but I get what you're saying. The Debney sound is unique.


    The Debney sound is unique!? That must rank as my brand new favourite thing I've seen on this forum. Lair might be good fun (and perhaps that's all that matters) but there's barely a single moment in it which isn't lifted from somewhere else.


    Agree. It's very fun to observe indeed, 'cause Debney is the most glamorous, beloved and successful "thief" in modern business. wink Don't get me wrong, i love his non-fluffy-comedy music, esp. the heavier and dramatic style of Passion of the Christ, or Dragonfly, but he's hardly original.

    I don't want to sound as an evil bastard, but the sound quality problem were never a Soncinemad issue, but others' wink biggrin

    True. 'Cause actually Debney is a good composer, he has the abilities and musicianship to be influenced but still deliver something good with decency, whilst the other guy has no musical abilities whatsoever, evidently.

    I find that there is a distinctive sound in action material. Everything from Little Giants to The Scorpion King, Lair and The Mummy 3 - they share a distinctive structure that too me at least belongs to Debney.

  1. NP: Mao's Last Dancer (Christopher Gordon)

    A good composer can do a lot with a little. The complete score is on this CD, and I admire how much it does in its 40-50 minute running time. (and not all the source cues are in the film, so 40 mins is a lot closer)
    A butterfly thinks therefore I am
  2. NP: Cheri (Desplat)

    The devastatingly sad reprise of the waltz theme that rounds out 'An Old Woman' is one of the best pieces of music I've heard for a film this year. Truly fine.

    Don't forget choir. Whenever he uses choir you can hear instantly it's Debney, not someone else he borrowed from. But yeah his action writing is pretty much his own thing, not Williams, not Broughton, or anyone else using that particular style of writing.

    This may offend some people, so as not to alarm you I've put it in spoiler tags:

    [spoiler]The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers COMPLETE SCORE Howard Shore

    For me, right up there with Star Wars. cool (Although Star Wars probably has the edge since there's a lot of childhood nostalgia I associate with those score.)

  5. Knowing (Marco Beltrami)

    This works like a charm in the film, and is high on atmosphere, and has an interesting sound which is why I'm not turned off by it. The more suspenseful cues set the tone of the film, but the emphasis is on creating atmosphere and uneasy tension, and it's rather monotonous in nature. The final cues are worth it to give it a spin and to hold out for it. It works better in the movie IMO, which I like.

    indeed, I find it to be better in the film as well

    NP: Fearless --- Umebayashi

    Nice score, but some of the stuff is really filler (and even but a couple of seconds long)
    but when he goes lyrical and emotional, I prefer the music over the action material
