    NP: THE JUDGE - Thomas Newman

    This is the sort of music Newman could write on his way to an urgent doctor's appointment but it's very lovely nonetheless. He has such a beautiful 'effortless' style.


    Indeed. And it is a style I enjoy immensely, so even when it's not the most wonderful version of that style, I still enjoy THE JUDGE quite a bit.


    He's so good at the more 'underscore-y' cues, scenes with dialogue, etc. Music that is gentle and understated but still very interesting and purposeful.


    Is the movie any worth it? i remember it not having particularly good reviews.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  2. Critics did not like it. I didn't see it, so I can't say.
  3. NP: The Eagle Has Landed (1976) - Lalo Schifrin

    I was totally unaware of the film and hence of its score until quite recently. That is despite of the film's star cast and star director (John Sturges). I'm not into military scores generally and I am not the biggest fan of Schifrin. Kudos and respect towards the man but his jazzy music in usually not my cup of tea.
    When I caught the film on TV I was immediately hooked by the score. I was astonished, that a) there was a CD release and b) is was available. Well, it turned out, it took amazon.de three month to actually dig it up. But what I am now listening to has been worth the wait.

    It's a fine score and the film is very entertaining with Michael Caine as a decent Nazi, often shown on UK tv.

    As for his jazz scoring, there really aren't many composers who can hold a candle to Schifrin, the man has proper jazz chops.

    NP: The Neon Demon - Cliff Martinez

    I hate it when people call film scores GROOVY but this was certainly is. It also feels rather dirty and raunchy. Music that would be heard in the darkest, strangest night clubs you can find. There is also an airy quality to the music, which is rather magical, sparkly and dreamlike!

    Anyway, I really dig this album. I have NO idea how this works as a film score but the 70 minute album is an electronica, atmospheric, out of this world delight!

    Black Mass - Tom Holkenborg

    Really love this one with its probing dark motifs. The elegaic theme that rises to the fore in the last couple of cues is brilliant.
    Overall it has the feel of early Howard Shore in the way it addresses the underlying psychological states of the characters.

    Oh, Thor considers it the best score of the year. I'm not that insane but I do like the album a lot! It's a wonderful electronic textured score, which reminds me in parts of Blade Runner and 80's John Carpenter's scores.

  12. THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES

    This is fine for what it is, but it'll never reach legendary status. It maintains a bit too much a monotonous sound without ever evolving into something approaching the earlier two Hobbits. It actually has themes, but never outspoken or memorable like the other trilogy. I would've liked a more spectacular and vibrant finale from Shore, but it's not like this is horrible music that doesn't deserve to be played.

    And you know what track for me is the best of the entire bunch? It's the Billy Boyd song. Yes it's absolutely lovely !!

    NP : SCOTT OF THE ANTARCTIC - Ralph Vaughan Williams



    Brilliant score by one of the greatest composers ever.

    It's available on Spotify, do yourself a favour.

    X-Men 19: This Time It's Really Really Personal John Ottman

    It's not bad, but it's difficult to get excited about. A few above-average moments in the action and choral writing, but it's padded out with a lot of fluff (serious and somber though it is). I can imagine this working just fine in the film, but it's not something that will feature on any 2016 lists... unless we have a very poor year.

    Totally agree!

    I've been playing it non-stop since I saw the film a couple of days ago, and then discovered that I had access to a promo. It's so sublime, it's ridiculous -- a score EXACTLY to my taste, like a tailored suit. It's absolutely pure bliss -- and the film is equally stunning, probably Refn's first proper masterpiece (as much as I like DRIVE).
    I am extremely serious.

    NP: THE ROCKETEER (James Horner)

    Sitting alone in the apartment in the Cannes suburbs, waiting for my colleagues to come home after a massive day of reprise screening (it's the last day of the festival). It's past midnight, I've had a few glasses of white wine and beer, and I was in need of some good, ol'fashioned rollicking!

  17. EVERYBODY'S GONE TO THE RAPTURE - Jessica Curry

    I've enjoyed this the last two times I listened to it, but today for some reason this score was wonderful to me. It's so serene and ethereal, and loaded with that religious sound. It was just what I wanted to hear today.

    Very much looking forward to this one, if it is anything like Drive or Solaris means I will most likely like it. This sounds more "active" and with a house-moroder vibe with more beats than those scores. Is this https://soundcloud.com/milanrecords/01- … neon-demon among the best tracks?

    Curious, hopefully there is more to it (and better or at least as good) than that. I like it and it makes me curious what the rest is like. I think I hear a tiny Twin Peaks vibe in there too.

    The Game - Daniel Pemberton

    After The Man From UNCLE and Dirk Gently this is the best thing he's done I think. Great, catchy theme and a host of creative variations make it a superb album overall - almost perfect if you take out about 10 or 15 mins of the least interesting material.

    It's fantastic ! Horner's is good, but this is simply in a whole other league. I hope the powers that be release this one day, at least long before the man that wrote it passes away.

    You hear TWIN PEAKS because Refn is very much inspired by Lynch in several aspects.

    The track you link to is the opening track, and it's one of the best, yes. But my favourite is "The Demon Dance" -- pure dark disco.
    I am extremely serious.
  24. That opening track is fantastic. Right up my alley.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    A great action score on the easy listening side of things. Actually the score is what I like best about the film.

    I love that score. It's the 00s version of The Rock.
  28. I listened to 'Dark of the Moon' while watching the film at high volume. It was serviceable, but compared to this one the first Transformers is a masterpiece. Sadly the scores have become worse with each film.

  29. NP: The Mission (1986) - Ennio Morricone

    This is one of the scores that won me over for film music. What a magnificent score! The choral writing is on eye level with Gustav Mahler or any classical composer you care to name. The mixture of European clerical and native styling blends without ever being cliché. So emotional.

    The light shineth through this music and the darkness comprehended it not.

    Which album? The original (and their first!) Dreamworks or La-La-Land?
