  1. I like it. It IS an ambient score, combining a solo trumpet, some small orchestral writing with ambient. The film is about the hospital where JFK was taken after he was assassinated on that fateful day. I think the atmosphere and instrumental choices are quite interesting, but I'll say more about that when I listen to it later today.

    Now:

    Hans Zimmer - Inception

    If there is one Hans Zimmer score I don't listen to enough, it would be this one.

    Hmmm? From your description it sound like a JNH score I might like?

  3. NP: Rush (2013) - Hans Zimmer

    Hey, this is the return of good old rocky Hans that I used to love so much in the 90s!
    No dark droning, no pseudo symphonic frippery, just strait enjoyable rock music.
    I also like the songs in context with the score.

    Listening to the first few tracks, I'm finding that it's quite dull. Yes, the solo trumpet of the first cue is interesting...but nothing we've not heard before from others.

  7. The opening cue with the solo trumpet is nice (and it returns in fleeting hints throughout), and there's an emotional (but still very low-key) strings/choir crescendo in "Get Him on the Plane" that's worth hearing, but the rest is extremely dull. It's no less than I expected though...JNH's provided some weak scores for political drama/thrillers in the past and this falls right in line with The Interpreter, Freedomland, Michael Clayton and the like. Effective, perhaps, but boring as sin on album. Certainly not "his best in some while"...more like his worst since Green Lantern.

    seriously? confused
    Must check the score again, and to the end now dizzy

  10. You didn't get to Get Him to the Plane, did you? smile The album would do some trimming, I think 15 minutes would be good.

    There is an idea behind the score, it sounds umistakably JNH, even if one cue does remind me of Why So Serious at one moment, so barely any RCP resemblance whatsoever, there is some pure beauty, so yeah. It puts everything he's done recently, even including After Earth?, to shame.

    Tedious! Though it would make good unobtrusive background noise while reading a phone directory.

    I highly doubt I will think its anywhere close to what is one of my top 3 scores of the year so far.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    It's not for everyone, but it's the first JNH score in years that actually satisfied me. Of course, something like We Have a Heartbeat is a very, very acquired taste.

    After Earth is one of my top 3 scores of the year. Some subdued quasi-patriotic trumpet nonsense is not going to "put it to shame", more like the other way around, in my not-humble-at-all but completely personal opinion.

    Well said biggrin

    p.s. I like AFTER EARTH except for the all-pervasive-in-modern-scoring-please-make-them-go-away ostinatos bits.

    Welcome back Mr. Gordon.
    Thank you for another winner!

    A nice enough score, but I found it repetitive almost to the point of obnoxiousness. I actually thought Antony Partos' additional music was marginally more interesting and it helped to break up the monotony.

    NP: An obscure score called Krull by a new composer named James Horner. Its a good score. I like it.

  23. Never heard of either.

  24. Unfortunately I didn't find Adore to be particularly interesting, two composers or not.

    biggrin

    Thing is, I bought this when it really was a pretty obscure score by a barely known composer named James Horner wink

  26. Krull wasn't a huge thing in the box office, was it?

    No, I don't think so. It was more popular as a VHS release.

  28. NP: Gravity by Steven Price

    Most of this score is an extremely arduous slog through vast tracts of sound design (some pretty interesting sound design, admittedly), but holy crap does it ever lift off in the last three cues, especially the last two. "Shenzou" and "Gravity" between them provide ten of the most gorgeous, expansive and emotional minutes of film music I've heard this year - I must say I wasn't expecting that when I started listening to this score, or indeed after I'd heard an hour of it. I think people who enjoyed Austin Wintory's Journey score last year (I did, but it wasn't the mindblowing experience that some others had) are likely to find the quieter emotional parts of this score to their liking. At least, I got a similar vibe off of parts of Gravity.

    A shame more of this score isn't like the last three cues. I understand it probably couldn't have been given the film (which I really, really want to see). But they're worth the wait, those final cues are.

    I look forward to hearing that one.

    I just finished my first, and probably last, listen to JNH's PARKLAND. It's pretty dull. I'm sure he wasn't thinking about us listening to it away from the film when he wrote it, though, so no big deal.

    EDIT: I did like the opening track. It's very nice.

    More or less summarises my thoughts on this score too.

    Apparently, it works very well in the film.
