Even something simple like To Kill A Mockingbird or Psycho. Those were truly underscores, music to accompany the images and emotions and story and they only work as standalone experiences after you've already seen the movie.
Then howcome I enjoy them without having seen either film?
Weird isn't it!
I disagree with the idea that the music only works as a standalone after having seeing the film. Even with the examples given.
Yes, you may not 'get' all that the composer initially suggests with the music but it can be enjoyed to some degree as a separate entity.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 -

Exactly. It's still referred to as music after all, not sound design. Scores that rely more on 'sound design' to create atmosphere rather than melody or leitmotifs are the ones that tend to be harder to appreciate outside their respective films. -

I never said film music doesn't work as a standalone without having seen the film. It just mostly doesn't work for me.
For me the score represents the film in a condensed and abstracted way. I experiance the essence of the film, with my inner cinema running full throttle.
VolkerBach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

NP: CHAPPIE (Hans Zimmer)
Friggin' fantastic -- whether it's hardcore EDM or gorgeous Vangelis-like textures! My favourite score of the year so far for a mediocre film (maybe even BAD film).I am extremely serious. -

Initially the lack of a more obvious theme was disappointing, but with each listen it's becoming less so. This is excellent. -

From one great Wachowski score to an ever greater one...
The Matrix Revolutions The Don
If this isn't a five star score, I'm not sure what is. -

I don't get the appeal of this, to be honest. To me, it sounds very raw and gritty and detached. I tried it a couple of times, but never connected to it.I am extremely serious. -

Because. It's different for everyone. I'm just giving you my perspective on it. I could enjoy the El Cids and Spartacus by itself because they were so close, stylistically, to the original Classical inspirations. But I couldn't follow it with other scores, like To Kill a Mockingbird. -

The album needs both to balance itself out. I also enjoy the choral material, in particular.I am extremely serious. -

Well, you are definitely right about that. I am glad you can appreciate the whole scope of the score and not just the quiet parts. It's one of my most nostalgic favorites, one of my first purchases.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

The Promise? Most technically impressive, yes. Most massive, yes. But not the most entertaining or moving to me, so it depends on the definition of best

I have all of Adiemus and Karl Jenkins' works, or at least very close to all. Precisely because "it sounds like the choir in Time Machine". I still think Badelt did it better, if merely because the scarcity of that choir makes it all the more special in his score. When every track sounds like that, it can be exhausting in the same way as trailer music. Still some wonderful music though.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!
