Thanks for the feedback, Bregt. Yes, synth will always be on my top list any given year.

Celluloid Tunes # 71: The 10 Best Scores of 2021 (23rd International Edition)

My selections of last year. Episode in English.

I feel like I am the only person in the world who is annoyed by how incredibly repetitive Buckley's Chance is. Once you've heard the opening cue you have heard everything the score has to offer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you did put it in your top 10 yes? So what are you babbling about

I agree several tracks or ideas return, but it's Gordon and I missed his voice. But I wouln't have placed it in my top 10 of all scores, that's a fact

Limited interest for this, since it's in Norwegian, but anyway:

Celluloid Tunes # 72: The Norwegian Film Music Year 2021

You can scroll past my Norwegian dialogue to get to the clips. This is the only place most of this music can be heard outside their movies, since they dont' have a soundtrack.

It is. It's the weirdness of Norwegian composers, really. It's a mystery to me. It's like they're all content with "living in the shadows" and not get their work out there, outside the movies. If I had been a film composer, I would have released soundtracks of my work ALL THE TIME, regardless of format or what it sounds like!

Thanks for listening, Cailin!

THE LAST DUEL is indeed excellent; I just wish it accompanied a better movie.

I absolutely loved THE LAST DUEL. Was sort of iffy on the score.

Reviews on-the-go # 4: https://celluloidtunes.no/reviews-on-the-go-4/

Covering RAIN DOGS (Alex Baranowski), THE LAST KINGDOM: DESTINY IS ALL (John Lunn, Eivør & Danny Saul), KILLER COASTER (Rob), SIMPLE COMME SYLVAIN (Forever Pavot), RUSTIN (Branford Marsalis), SPLIT (Maude Geffray)

Yes, SPLIT made me go to Bandcamp and explore Geffray's other stuff too. So wonderful! Gorgeous electronic textures all around, on practically all albums (both score and non-score). A major discovery of the year, she is.

A nice varied selection of favourites.

I do not listen to podcasts. What is your top 10 in normal words?
