I certainly can not imagine a different score for the film. Not anymore.
Those are rare, but also the best ones!

The penultimate cue is an example of how to score a suspense / resolution sequence. Masterful.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

Growing ever more curious for The Ghost Writer now, after all this praise lately... Listening to some tracks on YouTube, and it sounds unusual in a very interesting way. Should've bought this in Ubeda...
I did the same too earlier after reading Marcel's comment, I really like what I heard.

Having recently viewed the film I can say that I'm far more impressed with the music then when I first heard it before seeing the film. It's the pulse of the film and helps keep the film moving along. It's also essential to the story telling. It's not the most impressive in terms to musical quality... however there are some unique and quirky cues that most definitely are something you've never heard before but I think the most impressive aspect of the score is that it's tied to the film and the film without the music wouldn't have been as good!

JP: 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY - Alex North
It's like Horner's The New World; I still think it's unfitting for the film and I'm very glad Kubrick didn't use the music, but regardless of that it's very good music nonetheless. I like it a lot more than I did 5 years ago. Apparantly, I'm now 'ready' both for this kind of music and to see it disconnected from the film. -

Syriana - Monsieur Desplat
I love the percussion of "Beirut Taxi" and the main theme of the title track/"Fathers and Sons". It's some of Desplat's trademark classical style with more of an ethnic taste to it. -

All this talk on Brian Tyler lately made me try this one out from last year.
Perhaps one of the most original, richly thematic scores in film history!

Same kinda thing. Bit of a yawn. But I'm sure it works well in the film etc etc.
Believe it or not I do like some of Tyler's music. -

I think the use of music in Kubrick's film has been so intrinsically linked with the classical works that it's hard to imagine the film with an original score, there's no way of really telling how North's music would have fitted, fitting the pieces to the appropriate scenes only suggests how it might have been as we've no idea how parts would have been dialled down, edited etc.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I'm currently shuffling through my iTunes playing any track with the words "Main Title" in it and I came across David Arnold's superb main title waltz to THE STEPFORD WIVES. Talk about a film score that needs a legit release. Fantastic music!

Well, Superman is in there but so is Mars from The Planets by Holst, The Miracle Theme from Ben-Hur by Rozsa, etc. It's a hodge-podge of film music and classical influences... not just John Williams. In saying that... it's still a wickedly enjoyable romp!

I'd say the movie wasn't awful -- mediocre, but not bad. The dialogue was awful (then again, it was like that in the cartoon) but the kid actors weren't bad. And the visuals were nice. I have to say Howard's score did some heavy lifting, since it made the film watchable.
You want an awful Shyamalan film? The Happening is all sorts of pain.http://unsungfilmscores.blogspot.com/ -- My film/TV/game score review blog -

I didn't think The Happening was all bad, either. The only one of his films I've found to be a complete failure was Lady in the Water, and even that's so hilariously bad it's actually worth watching for comic value. -

I didn't say it's good. The script is poor, the acting is terrible... But for the people who growed up with Dragon Ball Z, this movie is a cool entertainment. I find it very spectacular with some original action set pieces.
