    it's smplistic but not so simplistic that it seems. dizzy seriously.

    And it's not so cheap, by far, than Spirit or The Last Samurai action track.

    Yes indeed. Very good, as expected for this excellent composer.

    I wouldn't be amazed if he used his old Moog or Fairlight. He admits to having used his old Moog on Da Vinci Code.

    I don't see how anyone could say that the climactic action cue "Nero Death Experience" is lacking any such thing. It's quite possibly the most epic film cue that Giacchino has done so far


    That's the problem - he's clearly shown he can do much better on TV scores. TV!


    Star Trek isn't brilliant, but it's better than any of his tv scores, surely?


    Not sure about that one. He's had so long to flesh out ideas and themes in Lost it would be a little unfair to say Star Trek is better simply because it's a film score.

    Personally I prefer his music to Lost than Star Trek - but then I have to ask myself would I feel the same about the music if it was simply placed in Lost? (Having no prior memory it was from Star Trek.) This is the thing with shows, they're an episodic affair and therefore more likely to become more personal and involving than one film (especially a film like Star Trek). So I'm biased, I admit.

    Of course, everyone's different, but my take on this is that I've watched 80-odd episodes of Lost and listened to (what seems like) 80 hours of a somewhat limited range of music in the various CD releases there have been. So yes, I'm very familiar with the music. But it's worth remembering that he writes the score for an episode of Lost in one evening and records it the next day. Contrast that with Star Trek where each two-minute piece would take longer than that - and so it's not surprising that Star Trek comes out as the more musically and dramatically vibrant experience for me. The music in Lost is wonderful for tv, but those two words "for tv" are key - the application of repeating ideas and such a singular musical vision are admirable and are what sets it apart, but you don't get close to the dramatic effect that a half-decent film score can have.

    American Journey John Williams

    An instant fix of pure popular-Williams brassy goodness. Great music, great performances (unsurprisingly for a John Williams score/album) and a punchy recordings. Love it.

    I still like the score (which I would describe as "MV Gothic", a I already stated in the appropriate thread), though.

    Not a bad album - it goes by quite quickly It's good score especially that scintillating cello solo of "Chevaliers De Sangreal" in the track 503. I'll need to give the score another spin however and really pay attention but the Science vs Religion / Synth vs Live Players story doesn't really come through in the music. They don't really play against each other - minus the first track which is an interesting mix of Tubular Bell meets The Dark Knight meets Gothic choir. I haven't read the book so - no spoilers please - so I'm not sure if the devices are suppose to compliment each other or play against each other.

    Anyway, fine album and one I will return to soon for a more attentive listen.

    I have to admit I´m quite surprised of your reaction to the score. I really thought you´d have ran out of buckets with this one. Actually I´m twice surprised, as Clemmensen himself has rated it with four stars.

    Not so surprised to see Southall didn´t like it though wink

  27. The kind of ostinato that defines the beginning of Tubular Bells Part One (the most known part that is) and Zimmer tends to use the instrument a lot, but that's a staple of his style, actually.

    Well, I'm not sure if it's Science Vs Religion or..Science completes Religion. I didn't finish the book so I can't say this for sure.

    The first fourth minutes in "science and Religion" the violin is the first instrument and the synth makes the atmosphere, from 4:00 to 8:00 synth is the main instrument and violin is just a counterpoint.

    One completes the another.

    Anyway, it's not Zimmer best "adaggio". I prefer "a Dark Knight", but it's quite mind blowing and beautiful, specially the last chorus ( sampled or not) wich makes a sense of "heaven".

    The only "fight" I see here is in 160 bpm : female chorus (angels?) Vs male Chorus ( Demons) -or perhaps women are the devils... biggrin
