I did a third (and final) attempt at listening to Jackman's Winter Soldier due to recent ramblings, but I still can't manage to finish the album. It's just godawful, especially when you compare it to proper film music...

After listening to that score, this is like coming up for air... and then getting an oily massage from a naked Mila Kunis with beer on tap. That's how much better this is to Jackman's steaming pile... -

NP: Ain't them bodies saints (Daniel Hart)
Folk and minimalism come together in this moody, romantic drama score. Striking use of banjo, ukulele, string melismas and hand-clapping as percussion work a delicate magic in the film. The score really sews the film together before your eyes.
There's a release!? Cool. Lovely music indeed, very subtle but present. Good film as well.
There is -- just picked it up on iTunes.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

Lost: The Last Episodes Michael Giacchino
Perhaps an unpopular opinion amongst our more middle-aged members, but this is by far my favourite TV score.
Bearing in mind I don't really count something like Goldsmith's score to Masada in the same category given that Giacchino's scores span multiple seasons with a multitude of themes, motifs and sounds connecting characters, places, things and events throughout the series, whereas Goldsmith's equally-brilliant-but-entirely-different score to Masada is more 'self-contained', more akin to a film score, making it difficult to compare the two.
...er, anyway. Lost for teh winz. -

Stargate was on television today. I'd never seen it before and I won't watch it again. The score was definitely the highlight. -

Never understood the hate or lack of enthusiasm for the film. I think it's a very solid sci-fi film with a great premise! Certainly better than the next two turds Emmerich made after this. (But thankfully still had Arnold on his team.) -

Escape Plan - Alex Heffes
Watched the movie tonight and didn't know who had scored it. Surprisingly good. A simple but effective modern day action/thriller score but with beefed up orchestra and a cool main theme. -

Well, if that's the result, maybe we should listen to crap more often and then pop in something good afterwards.....

The show had a few good episodes, but on the whole it was pretty shit. I agree, Universe was good and a surprisingly worthy attempt at something more serious in tone than what had gone before it. (Even if it was essentially aping Battlestar Galactica.) -

It's a good point you make but it has none of the heights that, for example, Star Trek TOS has though that's far more eclectic with multiple composers and not as well fused by a single composer as in Lost. I think Giacchino's scores are great for this series, I would only argue for it as a unified score to series score, as TV scores go there's far better music out there.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Mezmerizing. I love how, in "Overtones", there's that single consonant chord popping up with regular intervals trying desperately to drag the dissonance back to the ground -- perhaps a bit like Phoenix' relationship to the Hoffmann character.I am extremely serious. -

I think Giacchino's work on Lost is unlike any TV score/s out there in that he creates an entire world of themes and motifs while connecting the dots brilliantly, not to mention writing some very touching music. Part of the appeal is also its small and intimate sound, which worked perfectly for the show.
I can't think of any other TV score/s that has created quite the same effect as Giacchino's music. Its highlights certainly rival the highlights of the Trek original series in my view. -

It's not very good listening alone, IMO, but I agree that MG's music in the show is really good. Adds a unique audiovisual stamp to the series. Also love the Goldsmith/POTA hommage in one of the episodes where they wander through a rather POTA-like landscape.I am extremely serious. -

That´s not it, but I think this is a beautiful score that introduces and builds its main theme very nicely over the course of the whole score, so when you hear it fully grown and triumphantly at the end, it´s already settled in your brain and thus soars very beautifully. It was a very nice experience, not unlike what Jablonsky did with Steamboy (completely different scores, of course, but the effect is similar).
The movie is quite nice, too. Some great actors given the opportunity to show their talent. -
