    Try the Decca Ben-Hur


    Not the Vocalion?

    Which is what you recommended I should get and I love it dearly.


    Same thing. That's a reissue of the Decca. smile

    NP: DEADPOOL (Junkie XL)

    Great score, one of my favourites so far this year!

    JUNKIE XL 4-EVER!


    Srsly. This is one of the worst cases of pure noise so far this year.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    It was until he topped it with his next score. The guy writes absolutely miserable film music.

    I'd be worried if you didn't like him. It would require me to reconsider his... er... talent.

    Nothing about it is "film music", really. Can anybody (except the obvious jokers and trolls) name a single scene in any movie scored by Junkie XL that is better than what a competent music editor could have achieved using library music? I think Zimmer's making himself look a bit of a fool by championing the guy so excessively when he doesn't seem to be up to it, but I guess it might just be friendship clouding his judgment (which probably happens to all of us at one time or another).

    The Young Messiah - Debney

    When it's good it's really good, but the album's miles too long and basically a diet version of Passion of the Christ.

    Avengers 2 Danny Elfman & Brian Tyler

    A mess of a score and album. Marvel fucked up as usual concerning the music. But with one massive caveat: this contains the best music written for a Marvel film. Elfman's theme trumps anything written for any Marvel film. I'm including Powell's X Men score. I can't begin to describe how much I love Elfman's music for this film. I pray to Thor (the one with a hammer) that he gets to score another Marvel film.

    Elfman's stuff is really good but, IMO, nothing beats X-Men: The Last Stand for non-MCU films and Ant-Man for MCU films.

    Yep, I know I'm in a huge minority (as it were), but Elfman's Avengers music just works for me. Rarely a day goes by when I'm not humming his theme.

    I don't think I've ever really, really liked a Marvel score. Sure, there have been OK ones (Doyle's THOR, Elfman's HULK, Horner's SPIDEY, to mention some) and some that have had great, individual tracks, but one where I truly enjoy the whole thing? None. I think the closest may be DEADPOOL, actually.

    I never cared much for Powell's X-Men III, but then -oddly enough- I never cared much for any superhero film soundtrack outside of Williams' Superman:The Movie and Elfman's Batman Returns.

    Yeah, the big highlights in the genre are few and far between. But there are some. Especially those I played in my 'superhero' episode of Celluloid Tunes a couple of years ago (also expanded to include a couple if regular heroes -- not just 'super' ones):

    The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) — «Prologue» — Erich Wolfgang Korngold
    Danger Diabolik (1968) — «Underwater Wah-Wah» — Ennio Morricone
    The Rocketeer (1991) — «Main Titles/Taking Off» — James Horner
    The Crow (1994) — «From the Dead» — Graeme Revell
    The Phantom (1996) — «The Phantom» — David Newman
    Kick-Ass (2010) — «To Brooklyn Bridge» — Marius De Vries
    Ra.One (2011) — «Rafta Rain»/»Song of the End» — Vishal-Shekhar
    Batman (1989) — «Descent Into Mystery» — Danny Elfman
    Batman Forever (1995) — «Fledermausmarchmusik» — Elliot Goldenthal
    The Dark Knight Rises (2012) — «Mind if I Cut In?» — Hans Zimmer
    Superman: The Movie (1978) — «Theme from Superman» — John Williams
    Man of Steel (2013) — «Goodbye My Son»/»Flight» — Hans Zimmer
    I am extremely serious.
  23. Hm ...

    1) Superman - Williams
    2) Batman - Elfman
    3) Spider-Man 2 - Elfman
    4) The Amazing Spider-Man - Horner
    5) Batman (Series) - Walker
    6) The Dark Knight - Zimmer
    7) Man of Steel - Zimmer
    8) X-Men III - Powel
    9) Thor - Doyle
    10) Thor II - Tyler
    11) Ghost Rider - Young

    That's about it.

    Good list!

    Yeah, my "heroes" pllaylist is quite massive as well, and there are a LOT of really good entries.
    But I was referring more to scores in their entirety.

    Rocketeer, The Crow, The Phantom and Kick-Ass are excellent scores throughout though, so I may need to rethink my previously mentioned limitation!

    After Williams Superman I vouch for Poledouris Robocop as best superhero score.

    NP: VERTICAL LIMIT - James Newton Howard

    Probably the Howard score I return to most. Thrilling, sensitively 'ethnic' (not over the top), great theme, a touch Goldsmithian in parts.

    Love it.

    Me too. Seems to be only you & I who really love this one, I know it isn't hated by anyone ( as far as I know ) but it's far lower down the rankings of JNH scores for most score fans.

    It went up the list of my favourite JNH scores after I edited an album from the recording sessions. The Varese albums lags during the middle, but the addition of the extra action material elevates it (is that a pun? I'm counting that as a pun). But yeah, it's never been Top 5 material for me.

    Batman vs superman is actually much more enjoyable than Deadpool. At least it has slower, dramatic breaks smile The other, deadpool, is dreadful noise from start to finish.

    It's leftovers from Passion. Unused ideas, drafts etc. Sounds like it anyway wink
