- Comment I wouldn't say head and shoulders but it's definitely a far more satisfying listening experience overall. [b]The[/b] [b]Accordionist's[/b] [b]Son[/b] - [b]Fernando[/b] [b]Velazquez[/b] This is really excellent. Definitely one of his warmest melodic scores and a refreshing break from all the ...

- Comment [b]Succession - Nicholas Britell[/b] One of the best current shows on TV also features one of the best main themes of recent times. Hearing Britell put his stunner through a series of inventive variations alongside a scattering of other equally good cues (esp. 'A Piacere - Orchestra') makes for a ...

- Comment [b]Tolkien - Thomas Newman [/b] Doesn't have the stunning highlights of [b]1917[/b] but a very worthy listen too. It's mostly light and airy and brimming with Newman's instantly recognisable orchestral and electronic colours. The second last cue 'Fellowship' is a real standout as well as the ...

- Comment Doubt it'll be released but his score for the riveting documentary WHERE'S MY ROY COHN? which I saw the other day is a stupendously over-the-top dramatic score and fairly organic I think. Any composer can surprise you............. ................then later that night I listened to the first ...

- Comment [b]Bombshell - Theodore Shapiro[/b] The cues with the female voices - and there are many - quickly feel like nails-down-a-chalkboard. Big fan of Shapiro but this is probably the most annoying element of any score I've heard in recent times.

- Comment [b]The Death of Stalin - Christopher Willis[/b] Still one of the year's very best scores. Part pastiche but so thrillingly brilliant in its own right (as is the movie). At just under 30 minutes it begs to be played again.

- Comment [b]Le Grand bain - Jon Brion[/b] Wonderful stuff. Even better than his score for [b]Wilson[/b] last year. That main theme is terrific - and so utterly Brionesque!

- Comment [b]One Strange Rock - Daniel Pemberton [/b] Gets better every time I hear it. Hypnotic, mostly electronic soundscapes to match Darren Aronofsky's visually stunning Earth documentary series. The ethereal retro sound Pemberton employs works brilliantly; the emotionally engaging cues like 5,6 and 11 ...

- Comment [b]Happy New Year, Colin Burstead - Clint Mansell [/b] His recent work has been exceptional. [b]High[/b] [b]Rise[/b] is close to the best score he's ever written, whilst the very different [b]Loving[/b] [b]Vincent[/b] was nearly as good. This new score for Ben Wheatley is a bit of a disappointment ...

- Comment [b]Sicario 2 - Hildur Gudnadottir[/b] Haven't heard any of her previous work but by the sound of this she'll be a new voice to follow. Impressively channels both a 'masculine' sound to meet the musical needs of the gritty and bleak Sicario world as well as meshing perfectly with Johann ...

- Comment [b]Equus: Story of the Horse - Darren Fung[/b] Been listening to a lot of very mediocre new scores of late but thankfully this breaks the trend. I love it - so tuneful, varied and so beautifully and interestingly orchestrated. There are so many standout cues. Easily one of the year's best.

- Comment [b]Operation Finale - Alexandre Desplat [/b] Follows his brilliant and unique score for Isle of Dogs with yet another masterful new work. The opener, 'Operation Finale', is a stunner. By the time you get to the fuller orchestral version at the end it sounds even better if that's possible. Action ...

Never heard another note of Scherrer's music but this brilliant. Epic, playful, lyrical with great diversity and superb action music throughout. There's ...

- Comment [b]The Darkest Minds - Benjamin Wallfisch [/b] A major disappointment upon first listen. Virtually all the action music is overlaid with generic, simplistic electronics. Especially disheartening when you know how good his purely orchestral writing can be.

- Comment [b]Demolition Man - Elliott Goldenthal[/b] It's been years since I've listened to this. Even better than I remembered, it's half an hour of dazzling brilliance. Could listen to cues like 'Machine Waltz' all day long.

- Comment [b]Winnie the Pooh - Henry Jackman [/b] One of his very best. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about it is how authentically old school the orchestrations and recording make it sound and feel. It could almost be the rediscovered score from a vintage Disney animation of decades ago.

- Comment [b]Battle of the Sexes - Nicholas Britell[/b] Definitely one of the past year's finest for me. Great main theme and some wonderfully crafted longer cues with a real sense of cinematic flow to them. It's all very effective in the film.

- Comment [b]Jungle - Johnny Klimek [/b] Excellent score for what was a mediocre film (though another fine performance from Daniel Radcliffe). For this rare solo venture Klimek has written a colourful, evocative score with a lot of diversity. I can see this going into my regular rotation in the forseeable ...

- Comment [b]Loving Vincent - Clint Mansell[/b] Georgeous score and continues his rich vein of form in recent years. [b]High[/b] [b]Rise[/b] was my absolute favorite score of 2016. This isn't in that league but it has a beautiful melodic flow to it.

- Comment [b]Blade Runner 2049 - Wallfisch/Zimmer[/b] Not doubting that it works a treat in the film but as a standalone listen this comes across as mind-numbingly dull. What a savage disappointment - shapeless, themeless, simplistic ambient textures for the most part. Can't imagine ever listening to this ...

- Comment [b]Mark Felt - Daniel Pemberton [/b] Full of wonderful cold, edgy piano and brass motifs built around insistent pulses. Feels very much like a modern updating of the kind of stuff Michael Small and David Shire were writing in the 70's for Alan J. Pakula and others. This is the 4th outstanding ...

- Comment [b]The Monk - Alberto Iglesias [/b] Dark and dour, with - predictably - an occasional liturgical feel. It's admirably restrained for the most part though. I reckon it might grow on me, this one, even if it's nowhere near his masterpiece [b]The[/b] [b]Dancer[/b] [b]Upstairs[/b].
