    Oh, and what about Mychael Danna!

    Scores like Breach (dark and depressing), Little Miss Sunshine (happy!), Regeneration (beautiful!), Sweet Hereafter (chilly and new-agy), Ararat (dark and beautiful, sometimes grand as well), ...

    I would really like to see that film again. I got it on DVD about a year ago, but still haven't found the 2 hours to dive into it again.

    I know what you mean. I have it on DVD too and have seen it maybe twice in the many years I've had it. I really have to be in the mood.

    I wasn't impressed by the score, I really should give it another chance?

    You should. But it's one of those scores that work better in the film than outside, perhaps.

    I'll give it a play now.

    Yeah, I saw it now. Unfortunately, I don't have the stamina to follow that thread, so thanks for the heads-up. Glad you liked it (sort of). Btw, perhaps you missed this ol' FSM thread of mine on film and score:

    The House of Flying Daggers

    Perfume

    Often I'm more into quieter scores too, mostly because I have to play them with other people around or when I'm doing some work, so it can't be too 'loud'.

    I also play scores that have a lot of quiet music and then I just skip the action track, for instance in The Last Samurai.

    Bless you, 2009 Thor. My sentiment remains the same today, 12 years later. I veer towards the calm.

    I much prefer the more 'bombastic' music.

  25. I used to be purely after the bombast as well but these days I like to think I have a healthy appreciation for both. I prefer louder, more fun stuff when I'm out and about or doing something with my hands, and the calmer stuff for if I'm working and need to focus. I like scores that are able to offer both - Horner's Avatar, say.

    Yes, it's not like I don't listen to a bit of bombast now and then (and it doesn't only have to be orchestral film music, it can also be hardhitting rock like Rammstein or EDM like Juno Reactor), but I find that calm music - with interesting, soothing textures - is where I find the most pleasure these days. Thankfully, since the days of 2009, my collection of this type of music has grown considerably, so the teenage-acquired bombastic stuff is no longer in the majority. I think.

    The variety is an important consideration too. When you want one genre you know where to go. You want calm? Then there's a whole list of stuff at your fingertips too. That's the beauty of film music.
