    Absolutely. Arnold did some really good work. (And I love Hamlisch's Bond score too! And George Martin's.)

    Newman was the first one other than Barry who really successfully brought his own sound to it though, I thought. Serra brought his own sound but it didn't work. The others kind of blended other things with Barry pastiche. Newman wrote a Newman score that also sounded like a James Bond score, I thought.
  1. That's why I like Skyfall so much. When it comes to Arnold, I don't think the guy has much of a distinct style, to be honest. Not a fan, really.

    What!?! He's one of the most recognizable voices in film music out there. People will claim it's all down to Nicholas Dodd, but I disagree. I hear it even in his non-Dodd scores. The sort of "Middle-Eastern" harmonic things, for example.
    I am extremely serious.
  2. Well, to me it's more "oh, that's John Williams... That's Rozsa... Oh, Barry?!"

    I don't think I've ever heard a score where I -- at some point -- didn't recognize Arnold's voice.

  3. I also find Arnold to be a quite unique voice. I never though he sounded anything like Barry, not even in his BOND scores.

  4. He surely adapted Barrys formular - which I assume he was hired to do - still I don't think I would ever confuse an Arnold cue with one by Barry.

    That's a rather different standard altogether, but Arnold has certainly aped (successfully) Barry's style throughout his career. Just listen to City of Lovers from Casino Royale for proof, as just one off the top of my head.

    Yes. That one is arguably the best example.

    Arnold doesn't vanish behind a Barry pastiche, he nods towards Barry but he always remains recongnizable with his own voice.

    For the most part, yes. But you said he's never sounded anything like Barry. That's just false. dizzy

    Reportedly, though I can't find whether it was a rumor or not, John Powell's name had been attached to the film, but IMDb can be edited by anybody.

    First thing I thought of when I saw the film's name:

  8. IMDB tends to add Powell's name to pretty much every upcoming animation movie ever. It does seem a safer name to bet on than most, admittedly. tongue

    These feelings mirror my own. The only way I'd be completely satisfied is if they were both working on it and Arnold was also writing the song.

    EDIT:

    Oh, crap! It says it was recorded in March. Film Music Reported said Edelman was scoring it in September. Maybe it's David Newman who's had the scored tossed! I saved the tracks, you better believe that!

    I thought I'd mention it since he did a little bit of film scoring.

    This excites me a lot. I hope it happens. It's a good chance at getting a modern take on that Beyond Rangoon / Return To Paradise sound that has been so rare recently.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!
  16. This was posted on Facebook. Harry Gregson-Williams has become victim #2 on the new Mann film. You should never be composer #1 or composer #2 on his films -- always strive to be #3, you're safer that way.

    Dear all,

    I would like it to be known for what it’s worth that the ‘score’ for Blackhat maybe credited to me, but contains almost none of my compositions. I attended the premiere of the movie at the end of last week and discovered, to my horror, music that shocked and surprised me…quasi emotional (synth) string pieces that I’d never heard in my life before. I knew of at least one other composer, a good one at that(!), that had put in months of work on this movie just as I had, but this appeared to me to be in addition to both our contributions. To be honest, I’m not sure, as I’m having a hard time understanding what I heard and why it was there and I can say nothing for certain except that I was not the author of most of what is now in the movie. I feel like I want to point this out for anyone who like me cares about these things, as my name is right there listed as the lead composer and one would expect that credit to mean something, but it doesn’t. And I do care about that.

    I therefore reluctantly join the long list of composers who have had their scores either sliced and diced mercilessly or ignored completely by Michael Mann. This is his film and these are his decisions and I do respect that, but see no reason to have people mistake this score for one that I composed, or in any way approved of musically. The 90 minutes of score that I did write and deliver is, as I’ve said, mostly unused.

    I would still encourage you to check out his movie, as you may enjoy it.

    By the way, he said 80 minutes in his interview in September.
