is this thing really that bad? I got a download but haven't had time to listen to it yet. I'm talking about the Ape soundtrack.

*phew!* I thought you meant Transformatrons for a moment? I'm sure without ever having heard it that Giacchino's score is better than Jablonsky's.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

A new series of recordings being put out by the Royal Philharmonic is the movie legends and the one I'm spinning is John Barry. while this is a typical compilation CD I'm enjoying it.

No, Transformers: Age of Extinction isn't as bad a listen as is made out. It's just not what most people think of as "good" film music.

NP: TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION (Steve Jablonsky)
Spotify to the rescue! It's almost as good on album as I remembered it from the film. Love the power anthem, love the ethereal voices, love the techno beats, love the Rabin-esque, lofty guitars that he used so eloquently in PAIN & GAIN, love the TRON: LEGACY references. OK, some of the ostinato/horn of doom action tracks aren't that interesting after a few tracks, but that doesn't detract that much from the overall impression.
LONG LIVE THE JABLONSKY! DOWN WITH MAINTITLES NAYSAYERS!I am extremely serious. -

There are tons of EM compilations. This one goes back into the time of vinyl and is something of a classic. It is very good.

ENDER'S GAME was too much of a 'template' for my taste, even though there's nothing wrong with the music per se -- pretty much a straight extension of the BOURNE - BATMAN - INCEPTION stylings with little new to show for it.I am extremely serious. -

My first listen to Snowpiercer. As I'm listening so far I'm not impressed at all. Maybe it will get better.

It's difficult to know how I missed this beautiful score from last year. Beautiful and dramatic and Daniel White's theme from the original TV version of the story is featured both in the score itself and in 2 versions of the title song.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 -

Yes, you totally make sense. I really liked, and still like Hans Zimmer & Co's Spiderman 2 but after a few listens it loses its lustre. Horner's score keeps on giving......does that make sense?On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

This is really lovely.
That theme song will be very familiar to people of a certain age. The French TV series was a staple diet of School Holidays TV in the late 60's-early 70's and the theme song is exceptionally memorable.
