Does his Medal of Honor score have anything as good as The King's Arrival, Wildfire, Mother of Dragons, and the Lannister's theme? Genuine question by the way, I haven't heard Medal of Honor (although I'd be surprised given what sort of music those types of games usually end up with). -

Djawadi's MOH is fitting for the game but is absolute dreck on it's own. Another example of functional music that doesn't aspire to be anything else.

As is most of his Thrones music. But like monkeys typing on a typewriter, the breadth of the show has clearly given him a chance to come up with the occasional above-average cue. -

When you're writing that much music it's inconceivable that a small part of it would fail to actually do the show some good. Most of it simply avoids doing bad, which is what seems to tick people's boxes these days. -

NP: Game of Thrones Season 3 (2013) - Ramin Djawadi
I like this a lot on it's own. I neither saw the show nor did I read the books. Volume 1 and Season 1 are both sitting on my shelf demanding my attention.
VolkerBach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

Indeed. If D wants to see true bias, check out some of the less reputable forums on t'internet. It beggars belief just what people will go crazy for. -

That could be a new pick up line for score lovers: "Hey baby, want me to tick your box?"The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -

I largely agree with this but I actually find the cue "High Ground" to be quite appealing.
Not a huge fan of Game of Thrones music either. There's a handful of good cues, but spread far too thin. And actually I thought Season 4 was the weakest so far; it barely has even that. -

It does work beautifully in the show but I can't imagine wanting to listen to the CD - it's basically all just variations/re-interpretations of Burwell's music, as you said.
Been flying through some lesser James Horner - smaller scores with great main themes and little else. Top of the list have been Dad and Class Action.
The Devil's Own has more substance to it though and the use of electronic elements, in this case, has become strangely endearing with the passing of time. -

What does being a game have anything to do with quality? The score is thematic and the compositional style he developed with MOH is the predecessor of his Game of Thrones way of scoring.

The main theme (which forms the basis for much of it) is at the very least a close cousin to Burwell's theme. It's very impressive scoring. -

Hey, who added that last sentence to my post? Bregt?
But yeah, the sound quality is great even though the recording itself is from 1961. If it's the best version, I do not know. I haven't heard that many. Here's more info:

You say that it "works a treat in the show". Without any reference at all to the show, it's only occasionally memorable. The title theme is good, but as you also say, it's "evocative of cold" and it certainly left me cold.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -
