    Totally bizarre. The first third is a composer who isn't as good as Thomas Newman writing in the style of Thomas Newman, the second third is an onslaught of modern Remote Control misery and pain, the final third is King Arthur-ish plinky-plonky power anthems.


    Sounds irresistible!

  3. NP - PETE'S DRAGON - Daniel Hart

    This is WONDERFUL!! Why has it taken me so long to listen to this? Excellent stuff. This will probably land in my top 10 by the end of the year.
  4. Don't torture yourself with the Jack Reacher sequel score or some other piece of crap, instead try this non film score orchestral work out by Debbie Wiseman:

    Wow. Sounds kinda cool, actually. My colleagues who saw the film in Venice earlier this year, loved the movie and said the score reminded them of KINGDOM OF HEAVEN by Rupert's brother -- which is a score I love. I'm curious to check it out myself.
    I am extremely serious.

    Planet Earth II

    It's, um, not George Fenton. And it lasts two and a half hours.

    No offense to Fenton but as much as I enjoy his Planet Earth, I'm not sure I'd want to hear two and a half hours of it either, much less by composers inferior to him.
  8. NP: The Abyss (1989) - Alan Silvestri

    I remember how awed I was by this film, when I first saw it. I recorded it on VHS when it aired on TV and watched it repeatedly. The choral music toward the end enthused me every time and does so still. The ambient underscore is a bit of an acquired taste. I for one enjoy it immensely.

    Wouldn't be interested in film music if it hadn't been for this. Not really because of the movie, though (although that also means a lot to me), but because I remember lying on the floor, listening to the end credits and thinking to myself "this could be great as a sort of concept album, like the electronic music I listen to. I'll see if an album is out".

    Technically every film score album is a concept album. Except we don't call them concept albums. We call them soundtracks.

    NP: THE MISSING (James Horner)

    Of Horner's three 'Indian' scores (the others being THUNDERHEART and WINDTALKERS), I like this the most. I think. Neither are particular favourites.

    Hacksaw Ridge Rupert GW

    There's a kind of "so bad it's good" quality to this. The second half, with the power anthems suddenly appearing from nowhere, bearing absolutely no relation to the first half, is like a parody, a joke, but despite seeming so comically inappropriate it's got real entertainment value. Whatever John Debney wrote must have been the worst music of his career to be dumped for this, but the amusement value is as strong as in any recent soundtrack album and that means I really rather enjoy it.

    Debney was replaced? That's a surprise, given they're both nutty Jesus fans. Will he return for Jesus: The Sequel?

    It probably doesn't matter since the music will no doubt be written from on high.

    I'd forgotten that Debney went all funky while writing Jesus music.

    This would seem to contrast rather starkly with Jon's positive review yesterday...

    the suite on hans-zimmer.com sounds pretty good. nice strong themes with a lil bombast and also some japanese influences because of the instrumentation. even the samples of each track dont sound that bad. at least the thematic material debney wouldnt have written better.

    I can't remember the last time I was so puzzled by one of his reviews to be honest. But everyone else seems to love it so it appears I'm the outlier, not him.

    What a shame this composer never amounted to much. This is a masterclass of film scoring. (No, not a masterpiece. But a damn good example of spotting and appropriate scoring.)

    The problem with that score is that, when it ends, there's nothing that can match it. I suppose that's hyperbolic, but I do struggle to find a suitably angry score of that quality. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.


    I find Paul Haslinger's score to the film Underworld to fit that bill.
