    NP: Defiance - Bear McCreary

    Its really loud and relentless and RC-ish. Not sure that anyone here will enjoy it.


    Is it just the music from the video game, or is it from the tv show as well?


    What I have is just from the video game and is typical synth-heavy video game stuff combined with Bear's typical pounding drums that are becoming rather headache inducing after an hour of the same thing.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!
  2. In that regard McCreary reminds me of Maurice Jarre.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    NP: Planet Ocean - Armand Amar

    First listen. A generous offering from the Long Distance label (release runs to almost 90 minutes). It's orchestral and sounds as though it's going to maintain the high level of quality that you usually associate with Amar's documentary scoring.


    Want! Didn't know about that, thanks for the headsup Alan!
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    It truly sounds as if it were written by a protege of a protege of Hans Zimmer rather than a protege of Elmer Bernstein. If I heard a few minutes of it without having any idea what it was, I would probably guess it was written by Djawadi.

    Quick fame, grabbing all the projects he can get (which are quite a lot more year by year), quick money, lots of scores for more major projects and games, younger directors and producers wanting that exact crappy sound they ask from all the young composers. Lethal combination. What Brian Tyler did a couple of years back (and more) and which consumed him and ended fast, only his generic outcome was generally far more enjoyable than Bear's.

    Yet I liked both his "Caprica" pilot score and the recent "BSG Blood and Chrome".

    Yup, thanks for the heads up! It's a few years I heard from him. I see it's on Spotify, will have a listen for sure!

    NP: Iron Man 3 - Brian Tyler

    First listen... great new theme! Tyler should have probably scored these films from the beginning. I mean, a rock star composing music for another rock star. Perfect fit.

    EDIT: HOLY SHIT! shocked "Attack on 10880 Malibu Point" punk

    Your expectations going into this score should be loud, head banging fun with a gigantic orchestra backed by big heavy guitars and a huge percussion section!

    Stark , dive bombers and Hot Pepper are great pieces too. Djawadi and Debney easily ate his dust with this one smile

    Well, I think Debney's Goldsmith inspired "I Am Iron Man" is still the best thing ever written for the series but Tyler's score as a whole is way more satisfying than the first two even though it's rather derivative!

  14. I am also very happy with Tyler's score, especially how he got better with lyrical material and the theme is corking.

    Can You Dig It is just plain hilarious masterpiece.

    There may be some truth to that, but I do love Human Target. That was one of the biggest soundtrack surprises in my experience.

    And that's where you would be wrong. But we've been over this before.

    I think there's a subtle difference between a decline in quality and never being able to top your first big gig (although Human Target is a pretty good contender). I still enjoy hearing anything by McCreary!

    Independence Day David Arnold

    This is probably my favourite score. I say probably because I don't know, I have no free will. But it is good.

    It's one of those scores that makes me think "Oh yes, this is why I love film music." Can't be bad.

    I think its mostly that he is taking projects that have little opportunity for any sort of emotion whatsoever. BSG was good mainly because of the really beautiful emotional parts. And the pounding-drums action music was unique back then, not so anymore. His actual action writing is as dense and interesting as ever, but devoid of any memorable themes.

    Iron Man 3 - Brian Tyler

    It's fine, almost exactly what I expected from this composer doing this project. Lots of overly loud and unfocused action music, a decent main theme and an album that's about forty minutes too long. It's probably the best of the three scores but its only real competition was the second, which I wasn't a fan of.

    NP: WYATT EARP - James Newton Howard

    One of his best, undoubtedly. I'm looking forward to the expanded release, although I can't remember the film enough to know what's missing from the original CD. Still...

    cool

    NP: THE GREEN MILE - Thomas Newman

    I felt like listening to something melancholy. And this is about as hopelessly sad as it gets. Coffey On The Mile still riddles me with goosebumps. So so so draining.
  29. 42 - Mark Isham

    It's quiet. Very quiet. Handfuls of tracks go by with very little happening. There are a couple cues that I enjoyed - the final track in particular. Isham hasn't really impressed me in the last few years. It seems like a lot of his music is just like this. Quiet and noble, but mostly just quiet.

    The last track, the suite, is amazing.
