    NP: Back In Time - Ivan Burlaev

    Not bad, but too unthematic for me. Starts off with a very impressive high-energy techno-ish track (a style repeated a few times throughout the score), and there is some nice piano and melodic work throughout.
    However as the tracks are so short (few exceeding two minutes) there's little coherence, which doesn't make for the most interesting listen, especially when there's a couple of cues which are really magnificent (like the Burial For The Fallen Soldiers, which feature a huge Russian choir humming mournfully. Goosebumps! ).

    AGORA | dario marianelli

    Hmmmm. First listen, and it's all rather grand and bold, but not very interesting. Looking forward to the last tracks actually, since these got a lot of praise here; I hope it doesn't disappoints me as much as the first listen so far. shame


    Finally, someone with taste.


    Actually, I would say Marianelli's scores are something of an acquired taste. And I happen to think this dish is quite delicious. smile

    "not interesting" = too subtle to be appreciated in one listen. I thought the same thing on the first listen, but knowing Marianelli, I knew I had to listen multiple times...and now it's awesome.

    It needs its time to grow as a listening experience. And definitely watching the powerful movie it accompanies.

    NP:Happy Feet (powell)

    I want to play How to Train Your Dragon, but the day is to cloudy, So Happy Feet it's more appropiate for the mood.

    I guess this it's Southal's favourite Powell animated score.

    Today, probably it's mine too.

    "Fun food Storm"- "killer whales"-"Alien Ships"- "in the zoo" COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMBO!

    The "humble" theme is one probably my favourite theme. it's so tender!

    PS: DO you remember How Obsessed i was with this score 3 years ago?¿

    I have never been able to really get into Powell's animation scores. The too many too short tracks simply don't work for me, doesn't matter how nice the melody is. Happy Feet is no exception.
    That's why I am really curious about How to Train Your Dragon. It seems that finally there are quite long tracks in a Powell score.

    But you'll be listening to one of his lesser efforts if you do: Chicken Run, Bolt, Kung Fu Panda, Horton, Ice Age 2 and Robots are all far worthier listens in my opinion.

    • CommentTimeMar 24th 2010
    I couldn't get to like Bolt and Kung Fu Panda. Chicken Run, however, is very good, so is Antz. (But they were co-written by Harry-Gregson Williams, so they are not clearly Powell-scores)
    •  
      CommentAuthorSteven
    • CommentTimeMar 24th 2010
    I think Antz is more Harry Gregson-Williams than John Powell. Or perhaps more accurately, more Media Ventures. Chicken Run on the other hand definitely has a more Powell feel to it. In fact, there are more of Powell's tracks on the album than Gregson-Williams'. (And are clearly the highlights of the score.)

    The Wolfman - Danny Elfman

    I really want to love this - the music is so strong - but it's SO damn repetitive, I don't think I'll ever make it through the whole album in one sitting. There's a 4.5-star 30-minute album buried in here somewhere.

    indeed, I went through it thinking the same thing, it's one theme and it constantly reminds me of Bram Stoker's Dracula, 3 and a half I think I'll give it

    Yes, but. Southall's Review Rules:

    - Add 1 star if the score is composed by Horner or Goldsmith
    - Add 1/2 star if the score is composed by Elfman, Powell, Desplat.
    - Remove 1/2 star if the score is Composed by Zimmer.
    -Add !/2 star if the score is composed by Zimmer with some ennio morricone influence.

    lol

    All my Goldsmith reviews would have six stars if that were true!

    Anyway, I gave Wolfman 3 stars.

    Yup. That's true.
  23. That's the problem nowadays: overlong score releases. Goldsmith knew what he was talking about to only compile 30 - 45 minute albums. Though regularly I have found that just isn't enough, depending on the core material.

    He did. But the thing with Goldsmith is his scores were so good, lengthy releases were often a plus. He just underestimated just how good his scores were.

    Agreed but I wouldn't want every score of his expanded, or of any composer in fact.

    Oh I do understand that, however me personally, I take the album as it is. I'm still old-school... putting the CD in, pushing play, and never touching the skip button, or it would have to be for a hideous song.

    For me, it's partly about being old school, partly about being too lazy and partly about not really being qualified as an album producer.

    I wish the soundtrack labels would produce the best album they can and then stick all the rest of the music on as bonus tracks, giving people instructions on the track order needed for them to have their souvenir of the film, but leaving people who actually want to listen to it as an album of good music to just play the "proper" album assembled by the professional producer.

    I don't believe that you need to be an album producer to put together the best listening experience. And I'm not sure I want people telling me what is the best selection to listen to. Now, if there was a way of that information being given to people who want it...then that would please both camps?
