    Hmmmm...everybody's going gaga over that Joker theme.
    I should give it a shot, maybe.

    Is that the Why So Serious? track?


    Yes. There's also the film version on the second disc which I quite like.

    It may not be to everyone's taste on CD, but it's brilliant film music in my not-so-humble opinion.

    If you listen carefully to Tyler Bates' The Devil's Rejects (quite hard to do though), you'll notice it's not that far away from Joker's sound.


    And I'm ready to bet that movie didn't ask for it the way TDK did. wink


    Actually it did. If you think The Joker is a crazy character, you should meet "The Devil´s Rejects"ones. Great film, btw.
    Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you

    Ah, ok. smile

    I still say the Joker's music is spot-on for the film though. wink

    Dead Space (game) Jason Graves

    Only into the first couple of tracks so far, but this is sounds like a very good sci-fi/horror score!


    rolleyes

    BTW bought the game and I try to check how the 'music' functions in the game. It should disappear nicely into the background while slaying monstrosities I hope.

    You should understand that the reason you clearly don't like this kind of music is the reason I do. It's more about the raw feeling it creates than trying to listen to any melodies. This is why I love all sorts of music, because it suits all kinds of needs!

    Fair enough, but to call it music is just WRONG... There's maybe one track with a slight hint of a theme that I don't think reappears anywhere else. It's with the rest I have a problem, it justs doesn't do anything to me musically. I'll shut up about it now... Seems I made my point clear that this will never get into my personal playlist.

    But that doesn't mean that as a collection of ambient background tracks it doesn't have its function within the game.

    NP: Les Misérables complete (Basil Poledouris)

    Oddly enough there was a time I gave this a meagre 3 stars out of five, I just couldn't get into this darker Poledouris, I preferred his big thematic scores, now I see its beauty and its power so I'll add one star to it, that's totally justified I think after all this time. Playing it like a set of separate tracks, unlike the official album, helps a lot to enjoy it more. Was it you Martijn that sent this to me? Anyway, thanks again.

    But it very much is music I'm afraid. It has clear rhythm, texture and tonality. It just happens to be particularly unpleasant to your ears. And strangely enough I too think it's unpleasant - but that's exactly why I like it. Music is so much more to me than sounding 'pretty', I like being challenged as a listener. I like listening to 'unpleasant' music like this because it evokes a certain feeling - and that is after all the main reason I love film [and game] music. The feelings it can evoke. Shame you feel so opposed to anything that doesn't sound 'pleasing'.

    I call it being stuck in one's own ideas for too long, that new things are becoming too difficult to appreciate.
    I blame my brain.

    I find that rather unfortunate. sad There's so much to enjoy in so many types of music. It's a language after all and there's much to be said! wink
  15. We'll see how you react in 10-15 years time to the music coming out in that time...

    Even more electronics and ambience than now? crazy vomit

    I'm not that keen on electronic ambient scores because they're usually very boring musically. But that doesn't mean I dislike all electronic ambient scores. But then that's not really my point here.

    NP: Duplicity - James Newton Howard

    sad

    More synth-o-rama. Some tracks have a bit of staccato strings but that's hardly enough. I'm halfwaay though and so far it's not impressed me. Perhaps this is what the film requires but it's not a very good listening experience on CD. I'm waiting for when JNH will deliver a nice orchestral score again... maybe in Last Airbender?


    There aren't that much synth in the score. And the track "The Formula" is a really good one.
