Snake eyes is a beauty, agreed on that.
Demetris, I mostly liked how I live now. Quite a strong central character journey there, and the score made an impression on me too.

Scribe, there's room for both of you in the world. You can both be right, and each of you can fill the world with work that's worthy, whatever aesthetic constraints are applied. He doesn't have to emotionally-underdeveloped to have those views any more than you would be for writing that post.
NP: How I Live Now (Jon Hopkins)
Except that one of us' breed is currently dominating the world and pretty well succeeding in ridding it of the art I love. If it was a 50/50 split I would be perfectly happy, but when it's like 90/10 (and rapidly worsening) in favor of scores that are emotionally underdeveloped wallpaper, there's something for me to be legitimately upset about.
Yes, I see what you mean. This Dutch editor must be emotionally underdeveloped.
Michael, did you watch WE ARE WHAT WE ARE? Very eager for your review, film and score wise! :cheers:Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I barely noticed the music before this season. I wonder what prompted the change. Very unusual direction to go, but it works very well in the show, even if it would irritate Martijn's friend because it has such personality.
What prompted the change? well i watch the show with my wife, she's a huge fan, it's evident, the show itself. The turn of events [spoiler]well after the murder of Will Gardner. [/spoiler] and the events prior to that event; there was a lot of stress and tension even before[spoiler] Will's Murder[/spoiler], 'cause she left the previous firm and opened her own company, a lot of personal and business conflicts. Buckley's score very clever and spot-on in this season, the music driving the tense events, whilst in the previous seasons it was all smooth and calm underscore, the music didn't have a significant role (i.e. mostly snoozefest). Buckley's a very talented composer; remember THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM?Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Godzilla Alexandre Desplat
It takes no hesitation to call this my favourite Desplat score. Even with Powell's wonderful, brilliant and magnificent score to the imaginatively titled How To Train Your Dragon 2, this remains my favourite of the year so far....but only just.
It is right-spot-on, grand and leitmotific. Old-school, proper action scoring which kicks-ass. Desplat is one of the finest composers, one of the modern Grands if you will. Williams of our generation.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Couldn't agree more with you here. Excellent style and own musical identity which is not frequently met these days; and he combines the old ambient / minimalism elements with his own signature, creating something modern and new.
Have you also checked out Johann Johannson's Prisoners and McCannick? I think the same applies to this composer as well.
Yes, I have! I like both of those scores (PRISONERS more than MCCANNICK...it was one of my top 10 favourite scores of last year). Glad to see we agree on something. We've disagreed a lot this year.
Awesome! Great composers, very fresh new voices, love them.,Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

September Dawn - William Ross
What a brilliant score! Begins with a first-rate main titles piece but then continues with fresh ideas and clever variations in nearly every cue. This one's a real revelation - been buried way too long in my stacks.
Absolutely mesmerizing. Loving it, do you think any other Ross score to date, reaches this quality?
Not that I've heard mate. I only have about half a dozen of his scores but this is easily the best of the them. What can you recommend?
Only Ladder 49
Haven't heard to many Ross scores, huh guys?
The Amazing Panda Adventure is a sweeping adventurte score.
My Dog Skip is an emotional tear jerker. One his best.
My Fellow Americans is a first rate comedy score with a dynamite action cue - "Horse Chase" - that is one of my most played tracks... acorrding to iTunes.
T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous is superb. It's a massive score
The Tale of Despereaux is full of swashbuckling goodness
Tin Cup is one of my all time favourite sports scores.
and of course we have this years 50 to 1, which is a good old fashion heart string puller.
-Erik-
My Dog Skip, too indeed. We were talking down-right mesmerizing and sentimental stuff, to the melancholic side; indeed most of the many other scores you mentioned are top too, but different genres and with not so much an emotional impact as the three scores mentioned before, imo.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Yes. I was talking about PRISONERS. One of my top 10 favourites last year. We'll see how MCCANNICK can hold up once the year is over. I wasn't quite as taken by that, although it's good.I am extremely serious. -

I think he will need to do a few more scores like this before I call him Maestro. -

I have to agree. He's a fine composer, but he's not Williams. He's the Desplat of our generation. -

NP: King Kong (1976)
Reprise LP master on FSM.
As much as I love the Deluxe Edition FSM released in 2011, this album master with its infamous sound effects is a calssic in its own right.
For the film itself: I like the film much better than many people seem to do. In my view it's suprior to the overlong version by Peter Jackson. I like the story, the photography and the cast, the ape suite doesn't really bother me.
A great film and a legendary score.
VolkerBach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

I think "X is the next Y" is generally a pretty meaningless statement anyway, although I can understand (and am guilty of) the temptation. Thinking about it, can this statement really apply to anyone? -

- CommentTimeJun 21st 2014 edited
It's a ridiculous statement really but I've heard it bandied about for years. I don't think any great composer worth his or her salt would want to be known as the John Williams of their generation other than emulating his success. Nobody wants to be labelled in someone else's shadow.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I would love to be known as the next John Williams. But I'm not quite a great composer yet. (I'm getting there though.) -
