    NP: ABSOLUTION (Stephen McKeon)

    A highlight of Nordic scores last year, mostly just strings fluctuating between a few chords, but with very spiritual underpinnings. Very "Max Richter" in LEFTOVERS-mode.
    I am extremely serious.
  2. NP: A Monster Calls - Fernando Velazquez

    I officially declare Velazquez to be one of the greatest new-generation talents in the entire world of film music. Between this, The Impossible and all his slightly lower-key work, it's obvious he is a master of the kind of film score they just don't write anymore....filled to the brim with passion and barely restrained symphonic frenzy.

    This is also the best recording I've heard in 2016 (sound quality, mixing, etc).

    Velazquez is brilliant, but I'm a bit worried about the eventual foray into Hollywood trends and tropes -- a feature that seems to hit most Spanish composers moving over there (Banos, Jusid etc.). Let's hope he will be able to maintain his own identity to a greater extent.

    NP: Sundown - Richard Stone

    This is such an enjoyable score. A great title theme, full of western exuberance.


    Indeed! It's one of a couple of albums I bought based on the excellent 1993 Vampire Circus collection CD.

    Well, he's definitely completely on form here. Not the slightest hint of Remote Control or trailer music anywhere. I think it will help that he is sort of moving up along with a whole Spanish film crew (Bayona's) into the very pinnacle of big budget Hollywood for Jurassic World 2.

    I'm so excited to hear this one!

    NP - SWALLOWS AND AMAZONS - Ilan Eshkeri

    This is a fun little score.
  8. NP: AKIRA (1987) - Yamashiro Shoji

    Magical. As is the film. A true science fiction classic.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  9. NP: X-Men: The Last Stand (2016) - John Powell

    Out-Stand-ing!

    The film is good. But the manga series is really something special. It has a grandeur and depth of feeling that didn't make it into the film.

    Wherever he is, I imagine he's insisting on another layer of orchestration.

    This. Is. Film. Music.

  14. The only thing that compares to that final IMO is the ending of Mahler's second symphony.

  15. NP: Mimic - Marco Beltrami

    A solid 30-minutes this. Can anyone say whether the score is able to support Varese's deluxe edition treatment?

  16. NP: Maniac - Rob Coudert

    There's some cracking synth tracks to be found on this score but, as with a lot of synth scores, I am not really getting much of an emotional connection with the music. It's just a collection of catchy synth ideas.

    Saying that, it's still a very good album.

  17. NP: Pet Sematary - Elliot Goldenthal

    No time to listen to the complete version and so listening to the 30-minute Varese version. An effective and creey score this one. And it's interesting to hear an early Goldenthal score before he really developed his characteristic style.

    Those are three solid scores in a row, Alan. MIMIC is one of Beltrami's best; the original Varese release is perfectly arranged. MANIAC was one of my favourite scores last year (unlike you, I got an immediate emotional connection to the hooks and riffs), and PET SEMATARY is probably the scariest horror soundtrack I know and own -- even if I hardly ever play it.
    I am extremely serious.

    NP: GLASSDUKKENE (Svein Schultz)

    My own 25-minute programme of the material Svein sent me, for this Norwegian urban thriller directed by Nils Gaup. Smooth synth textures, moody guitars etc. Dig it.

    I certainly do enjoy it, so I must have some sort of an emotional response to it. But, I don't really get the same emotional experience as I would with a more conventional (orchestral?) score where there's action scoring mixed in with the more obviously (to me at least) emotional pieces.

    Rob's album would certainly be one of my favourite synth albums: most of them have very catchy 'hooks and riffs' and the choice of synths fits in with the kind of synths I enjoy.

    Yeah, I guess it boils down to a matter of background and preference. For me, this kind of music has just as much impact (sometimes even more) than more conventional affairs. Certainly goosebump-inducing the first time I heard it.

    Speaking of which, Rob's score for MADE IN FRANCE is one of my 2016 favs; it's quite similar in style to MANIAC. At least in parts.

    He, he...Edmund, just because I'm not a record producer or know how to make proper albums, doesn't mean that I'm unable to go for the second-best solution, i.e. a playlist. Especially in this case, when you just receive a bunch of cues with no order whatsoever.

    The Girl on the Train - Danny Elfman

    I hated this stupid book (cannot believe it was popular) but at least some good's come of it, which is this very unusual, quirky, creative score which certainly won't be for everyone but I think it's great.

    NP: Earth vs. The Spider - Albert Glasser

    A great sense of peril and dread once the spider appears. And you can't go wrong with a bit of theremin.

    "Get That DDT In Here Quick!" is a stand-out track title!

  30. NP: House On Haunted Hill - Don Davis

    A couple of great opening tracks but the score, although being good, never really lives up to those 2 tracks. A great title theme and love the use of the organ.
