- discussion topic HANS ZIMMER
- Comment It's Filmtracks, anything you could put against Hans is pretty much fair game over there with Edmund being a rare sane defender. I don't really follow that one very much, however I have talked with Hans about the case and he has explained his process in bigger detail. I also linked the Twitter ...

- Comment The long take is a staple of the director, Ryan Coogler. There's a massive one-long-take chase sequence in Black Panther, too. Sadly, can't speak for Fruitvale Station as I haven't seen it. I need to rewatch Creed and see Creed II.

With the amount of new material coming out since his passing, with also the soundtracks to Personal Effects and First and Last Men last year, you’d almost be forgiven for forgetting ...

- Comment [b][i][big]Daniel Hart - The Green Knight[/big][/i][/b] Quite original and very compelling in its combination of old English folk and Arvo Pärt. Quite a bit of Fratres to it, but it can be both oppressive and gorgeous.

- Comment I tend to interrupt a lot, but there are scores I can't really listen to single tracks from, but have to listen to the whole album altogether. I'd say, except Thin Red Line (though I have an inspirational playlist featuring only Light and Stone in My Heart, but that serves a purpose), it would ...

- Comment Clemmensen finds the score depressing. I find it actually the contrary. There is something affirming to it. And I think, while the story is a mystery, the fact that Shearmur doesn't play the mystery very much (though there is a bit of delicate sense of wonder and awe) works to its benefit. I ...

- Comment [b][i][big]Edward Shearmur - K-Pax[/big][/i][/b] I wish this one got mentioned more often on assorted boards, really. A very pleasant, urban listen with a great orchestra/electronics marriage. Thor would probably know better which electronica genre this is close to.

- Comment I'd say Supremacy is the most fun experience, if only because it's the most unabashedly melodic score of the lot. Not the most consistent (as fun as it gets, Bim Bam Smash feels like downright different genre at times). But Goa, Nach Deutschland, To the Roof (a severely underrated cue that's ...

- Comment The complete score adds nuance and a missing theme though. I know your stance, but having a major recurring theme excised from a score is close to criminal even if your name is Jerry Goldsmith.
