  1. NP - OUTLANDER - Bear McCreary

    Kudos to whoever produced this album. It's one of the best McCreary albums I've ever heard.

    Agreed. Something for McCreary to learn when he's doing his own stuff. He needs to be more economical in his presentations.

    NP: ZURDO (Paul van Dyk)

    Gorgeous trance score to this Mexican fantasy film -- smooth and laidback, with deep beats. Wish he did more film music.

    Girl with a Pearl Earring - Alexandre Desplat

    A wonderful score. I remember when this and Birth came out, how wonderful it was to have a composer emerge like Desplat in an era when film music seemed to be being run into the ground by Remote Control. I'd never have believed then that he'd end up on Harry Potter and Star Wars.


    When I read this post this morning I bought and "autoripped" the CD on impulse. Now playing. Mesmerizing! I was totally unaware of this score.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  5. NP: Cinderella (2015) - Patrick Doyle

    This just gets better with every listen. I'm rendered speechless by awe and wonder.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  6. NP: Duel (1971) - Billy Goldenberg

    Certainly no easy listening, but a highly intelligent thriller score.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    NP: KUNDO - AGE OF THE RAMPANT (Jo Yeung-Wook)

    Some spaghetti western, some funk, some symphonic stuff -- this South Korean samurai film is all over the place. But never boring.

    NP: LORDS OF THE FALLEN (Knut Avenstroup Haugen)

    If I ever do a film, I would use Knut as composer. Not only because he's a friend of mine, but because he's about the only Norwegian composer I know who knows how to tap into the epic scales (full orchestra and choir) that are needed for the projects I have in mind.
    I am extremely serious.
  9. NP: Kundun (Philip Glass)

    A special and personal score for me. It doesn't get better than this for me.

    Excellent score! Arguably his best film score though I prefer his concert works over anything he's done for film.

  11. NP: Chappie - Hans Zimmer and friends

    I quite like this, actually. Wasn't sure about it for the first two thirds but it picks up in the last six or seven cues with some really cool moments. Even though it's all-synthetic, I find it to have a much "cleaner", organic feel than Man of Steel or his Batman scores, which come across more as sonic mush. It all seems just a tad tongue-in-cheek as well, which is good - I like my Zimmer best when he's not taking himself seriously.

    I prefer Zimmer when he DOES take himself and the subject matter seriously. But I like the other, more playful side too -- which this is a great example of.
    I am extremely serious.
  13. Zimmer taking himself too seriously usually results in moody droning boredom. sleep

    BEYOND RANGOON is one of my favourite scores of all time, and that's an example of 'serious' scoring.
    I am extremely serious.
  15. I guess, but that score is from a long time ago, and Zimmer has very much changed as a composer since. From Batman Begins onwards, there aren't many serious scores of his that I really like.

    Okay. For me, that's where he has TRULY excelled. INTERSTELLAR was almost my favourite score last year, and since BATMAN BEGINS I've enjoyed THE DA VINCI CODE, HENRI 4, INCEPTION, in particular (of the serious scores). But of course, lots to enjoy in the more 'fun' material too, and not ALL of his serious work has been that interesting (I didn't care for 12 YEARS A SLAVE, for example).
    I am extremely serious.
  17. I wouldn't categorize The Da Vinci Code as a particularly "serious" score, necessarily - and Henri IV was by Henry Jackman (and also not that serious). Interstellar and Inception are fine for what they are but I simply don't find them all that engaging - give me a Pirates of the Caribbean score any day of the week.

    Although DA VINCI (the film) has certain 'adventure' elements, I still label it in the serious category. The score even moreso. HENRI 4 was Jackman AND Zimmer, if memory serves.

    If The Da Vinci Code (movie/score) was meant to be taken seriously then that just makes its audacious awfulness all the more impressive. Great album though!

    I don't get why some people are so keen on dissing that film. I never read the book, but I absolutely loved the film -- a type of mystery I can be engrossed in.

    I would not count on anything in HENRI IV being by Zimmer except the basic structure of the title theme (which is clearly derivative of earlier Zimmer work anyway). It has Jackman's fingerprints all over it.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    So the album cover claims, but it's since been revealed that in reality Zimmer merely produced the score. Even the in-film credits don't list Zimmer as anything more than a producer.

    Ori and the Blind Forest - Gareth Coker

    This is quite pleasant and the James Horner rip-offs are right up my street. But 90 minutes is a bit of an ordeal.

    I'm playing the game right now and it works very well in-context but yeah, it's a lot of music and when it's not being thematic, it can ramble on.

    The best score for a Spielberg film (according to hipsters).

    It's the best Speilberg-directed film up to that point, yes.

    Inception Hans Zimmer

    I loved Zimmer's music in Interstellar (mostly), but this still remains my favourite Zimmer-Nolan score. I'm looking forward to their next collaboration beginning with 'In-'.
