It's a collection from pre-existing pieces from some of the greatest concert composers of the 20th century and not only. Here's the tracklisting:
It contains some of the best contemporary orchestral / concert music you'll find around and it's a very worthy purchase for those who're into this kind of advanced writing and dissonance.

3. John Cage - Music for Marcel Duchamp
4. Nam June Paik - Hommage à John Cage
5. György Ligeti - Lontano
6. Morton Feldman - Rothko Chapel 2
7. Johnnie Ray - Cry
8. Max Richter - On the Nature of Daylight
9. Giacinto Scelsi - Uaxuctum - III. [untitled]
10. Gustav Mahler - Quartet in A minor for piano and strings
CD 2
1. John Adams - Christian Zeal and Activity
2. Lou Harrison - Suite for Symphonic Strings - IX. Nocturne
3. Brian Eno - Lizard Point
4. Alfred Schnittke - Four Hymns - II. For Cello and Double Bass
5. John Cage - Root of an Unfocus
6. Ingram Marshall - Alctraz - I. Prelude: The Bay
7. Lonnie Johnson - Tomorrow Night
8. Max Richter/Dinah Washington - On the Nature of Daylight/This Bitter EarthLove Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Listen to sound clips first...it's not for everyone. But it worked absolutely perfect in the film, especially the Krysztof Penderecki - Symphony No. 3 - IV. Passacaglia - Allegro moderato which served as the "main theme" and of course the beautifully mesmerizing Max Richter - On the Nature of Daylight which appeared whenever his wife was on screen with him in some sentimental passages.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I think that if I pre-existing piece of classical music works then use it. While Alex North wrote a stunning original score for 2001 I think Kubrick was right in going with the classical music approach!

This is my favourite animation ever. I also loved "Monsters inc" and "The incredibles", but this one included some serious issues about death, love and family, which made me connect to it emotionally. The two main characters were absolutely brilliant and the two main animal characters were absolutely hilarious and cute. The whole body language of the silly bird and especially the dogs were absolutely brilliant. Being a fan of animals and especially dogs, I adored every single moment of this movie.
Rated it 10 out of 10 on imdb (a rating I very rarely give).
About the score, I loved Giacchino's main theme. But I must admit I didn't notice other themes. Is the score entirely monothematic?

The Final Destination
I've seen it plenty of times while working at the multiplex, and at home it just doesn't feel the same. But it's a wonderfully bad movie, with some really funny death scenes and some nice throwbacks to the original Final Destination (one death scene is exactly the same). It's a trashy but short movie, but the 3D photography looks great and Tyler's score is fun.http://unsungfilmscores.blogspot.com/ -- My film/TV/game score review blog -

I usually am pro this too, still there are directors in many cases who work with source music much better than any kind of original scoring. Such a case is SHUTTER ISLAND were the use of music is simply brilliant. And MICHAEL MANN.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

There's Ellie's theme (the main one), Muntz's theme and then a small one for Russell, Kevin and Dug rolled into one. (And also a small motif for Alpha, Beta and Gamma and an action bass line at the end). -

Cool, thanks. I must admit that they don't do much for me. But then again, it took ages for Ellie's theme to get to me.

The Descent Part 2
Not as brilliant as Part 1 but really enjoyable and with the same claustrophobic mood. Gory, tense, some nice fright moments, some old faces,....a more than decent second part. David Julyan´s score is ok, as was the first one. It is surprising that a Zimmer´s "Journey to the Line" rip off can fit a horror movie though. But it does.

Well The Thin Red Line is a horror movie in a way too. That cue was used in a horrific scene."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

Enjoyable film. I found it a film of two halves: wonderful first half pulling at the heart strings. Great characters. Second half didn't really live up to the beginning: I thought it was more of a run-of-the-mill adventure story. But certainly one of Pixar's best movies. I found Giacchino's score a bit like the film. But it certainly packed an emotional clout.
Underworld: Rise of The Lycans
I've always been confused by the various factions in these films - and how they are all related to one another. And this film didn't really make it any clearer. And the low light levels throughout didn't help. Reviews I've read talk of this third film being the best. No. The second is, for me, the most enjoyable of the three. And Beltrami's contribution to the Underworld: Evolution adds greatly to the enjoyment of that film.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -
