NP: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (James Horner)
I think I prefer this over Elfman's scores (which is saying much, given my love of Elfman), but what kind of feedback did it get from us film music fans and critics? I can't remember.
Now playing. My feedback is overwhelming.

NP: Gods of Egypt - Marco Beltrami
I've had it for a week or so. It's EXACTLY what I expected it to be. A mix between Goldsmith and Silvestri's MUMMY scores with nods to LAWRENCE OF ARABIA all meshed together with Beltrami's distinct voice. it's melodic, exciting, old fashioned, romantic, adventurous. This might very well be one of the best scores Beltrami has produced! Beautifully recorded by John Kurlander! Another candid for great score, shit film!
-Erik-
I have high expectations for this as a long-time Beltrami fan. It sounds quite exciting from your descriptions too (yes, I do enjoy an old-fashioned, classical score now and then).
OK, I've had a listen. Some individual tracks that were OK, but mostly this did absolutely nothing for me. Noisy and grating, with tons of directionless bombast. Disappointed. Here's hoping Beltrami gets to do something a bit more lowkey next.
On a second listening, and I think maybe I could make a decent playlist by removing many of the action cues etc. Still, it's not my cuppa tea.I am extremely serious. -

He used to be such an original voice, always adding a sense of melody and 'deliciousness' in the orchestration, even in genre films (I don't like horror scores, but I did enjoy most of his!).
That's all there... you're just choosing not to hear it.

Well, that's one way to put it. If I can't hear it, I can't hear -- whether I choose to or not. There's little "Beltrami" here, the way I knew him. But a handful of nice tracks in and of themselves.I am extremely serious. -

Good stuff!
While Bacalov certainly also taps into the Morricone-defined "spaghetti western" (a phrase he hates, incidentally!), I think his work still has a very distinctive voice. Django is one of my very favourite western scores.'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

NP: Woodlawn - Paul Mills
This is a score that taps into the rousing heroics type of music (with blaring brass and pounding percussion) I've heard for a lot of NFL Films. Hans Zimmer influences abound too. Mixed in with this are more low-key moments.
It has its highs and lows in terms of interest but, as a whole, it's not that engaging on album. It reminds me of the sort of trailer albums you get where there's track after track but there's little connecting them emotionally.
But, as a positive, the opening 9-minute "Opening and The Run" (plus several others) would make a "best cue" list.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

NP: MEMPHIS BELLE (George Fenton)
I've been on another Fenton binge lately. Something about my interview with him last year re-ignited my interest for him (always been a fan). The period music is fine, but the real highlight is the orchestral material, references to "Danny Boy" and "Amazing Grace" and all.I am extremely serious. -

Humanoids from the Deep + Wolfen
Crazy how similar both main titles are. Almost note for note similar. Not crazy when you consider both are from Horner, just 1 year apart. But still, they share the same basic melody, which is inspired by Jerry's Alien anyway. But during the rest of the score Wolfen is the better of the two, showing his trademark sound. A tad more interesting and robust, better suspense cues, more entertaining as a whole."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

The Hateful Eight
Yay for Ennio's win ! Everytime I hear this I like it a bit more. That long 'Neve' cue is deliciously hypnotic. And never boring... I love music like that. I can't stand the dialogue and songs in this, they break up the flow of the score. They don't bother me in something like Kill Bill, which is a song compilation, but here? No, that was a mistake on Tarantino's part. It should've been score only. Still I like the 50 minutes of dark, agressive score we have, and even if the man didn't necessarily deserve the win for this one, he sure as hell deserved it for 'The Ecstasy of Gold' alone, and the many other brilliant tunes he has written."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

I managed to make a Spotify playlist with the score alone. Though I actually left the Lincoln Letter with dialogue in my playlist, as it also features the score cue.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

Now playing it too. In it's own way this is a masterful score. I immersed myself in Morricone's western scores from yesteryear lately and found that TH8 is not that different after all. Many of the aspects that define this score are present in these older scores already, these dissonant, hypnotic cues. I am very pleased with this score winning the Oscar.

I meant to say that Morricone's score, with its special styling, the dissonance, the repetitive structure, the vocals that seem tribal in nature ... this is all very different from the lush and melodic score that Williams wrote for SW 7. They are both masterful in their respective ways.
This sprang to my mind because those to legendary composers met in LA as nominees of the Academy Award. Also because I read some quite dismissive commentary concerning Morricone in general and his score for TH8 in particular. Not here, mind you, but elsewhere. Listening to the score again satisfied me that those rants have no basis at all.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

Love it.
Interesting to see the "Making of" documentary for the film. Goldenthal had a chance to draw parallels with the use of music from different periods in both Titus and Interview With The Vampire.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -
