    Yeah, but i've not listened to it yet. Depends, there's a big possibility i won't like it but i am in for more descriptions. It's not that i always do not like cool, uplifting music though (if that's the case), i mean i am a sucker for Henry Mancini (for instance) but Marvin's probably not him wink

    Fantastic Mr Fox - Alexandre Desplat

    Finally, a CD actually arrived.

    First impression: very quirky. Rather irritatingly so. Not enjoying it at all.

    NP: The Great Raid - Trevor Rabin

    Powerful orchestral material and some great emotional music. Great stuff!


    Indeed, greatly entertaining score, shame he didn't keep on that track.

    It's just so bitty. So many very short tracks which are intended (presumably) to be amusing. It's nothing like Elfman.

    Sounds like it fits the movie very well.

    Not at all. Newman can do more in a 30-second track than 99% of film composers can do in a 90-minute score.

    Sounded great on the website. But they might have put up the 10 best tracks.

    Unbelievably, unbearably bad. Stay as away as possible.

    Alternately, tracks such as "Preacher Boy", "Thunder Bird", "Let Us Pray For Dinner" & "Nobis" are worth listening to.

    The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice - Joseph LoDuca

    Quite enjoyable, but why would anyone listen to this ahead of an Indy score?

    I think there's only one track of Desplat's music on CD that isn't heard in full on the website. What you get there is basically Desplat's contribution to the film. I think this score will polarize people. I think there are some really nice things that happen in a couple tracks, but for the most part I agree with James.

  5. It seemed rather Morricone quirky to me. (Indeed, there is one theme that is such a Morricone tribute, it made me laugh to hear it.) With a hint of that quirky feel Mark Mothersbaugh did for other Wes Anderson films.

    It's Jordi. If God were to exist, he'd find a flaw. (You know, apart from disease, war, crime, birth deformities, pedophilia and all the rest of it.)

    And then that non-existent God might say: "Oh, so you'd rather be a moralistic robot among robots with no ability to make your own mistakes, learn from them, protected from the possibility that you might stuff it all up. Sorry, you guys talk about freedom and choice so much I thought I'd leave a few things in your capable hands." wink

    NP: Mao's Last Dancer (Gordon)

    And on the sixth day of possessing my own copy of this score, I said it was good.

    Oh-oh........you said the forbidden name for me. As much as i've tried, i've never been able to listen to Mark Mothersbaugh's music....at all. Can't stand it, at least the few stuff that i've tried digesting.

    He's done at least two things that were enjoyable:

    1. The "rugrats" theme -- even if it's cheesey, even if for a cartoon, it's still enjoyable and catchy.

    2. "Attack on Ping Island" or something like that, from "The Life Aqautic". Can't seem to find the original, just reperformances. This one sounds pretty darn close:
