  1. NP: House of Frankenstein - Don Davis

    Such a good score. Great use of orchestra - lots of power but tender too when needed. And those choral parts!

  2. NP: Silent Night - Kevin Riepl

    Competent score for this Christmas slasher movie (artwork shows a flamethrower-wielding Santa). Varied and interesting, Riepl uses most of the tricks in the book to good effect.

  3. NP: The Dunwich Horror - Les Baxter

    Good score this one. But its style reminded me a lot of Ron Grainer's The Omega Man.

  4. NP: Bait 3D - Joe Ng & Alex Oh

    When I first saw this title released I'd assumed it was the usual soundscape shocker score. But, in fact, it's a very good orchestra-based score with lots of good melodic tracks.

  5. NP: The Final Destination - Brian Tyler

    There are a number of great set-piece tracks but the relentless bombast does wear me down after a while. Although I don't like Tyler's arrangement in the opening cue of Shirley Walker's original theme, the more low-key, low-strings renditions are always welcome.

  6. That's always been one of the Tyler scores that blends into the background for me. Not his most inspired work, although props to him for bothering to incorporate Walker's theme so pervasively. His score for the fifth one is even worse, and that one only uses the Walker theme once if I recall correctly.
  7. NP: Civilization: Beyond Earth: Rising Tide: Colon Cancer - Geoff Knorr, Grant Kirkhope and that ambient guy

    This is just as good as last year's! "Tide Hunter"...holy CRAP! shocked

    Last year's score was good, but I received about 4645 minutes from it. I've been meaning to boil it down to a proper 70-minute release (I think this could sustain it), but it's too much work, so I haven't gotten around to it yet. It would need to include both the orchestral and some of the ambient, electronic textures.
    I am extremely serious.

    This has none of the ambient 'music' which does absolutely zip for me, I put this playlist together, and it's all I need. (around 74 minutes).

    Pan John Powell

    There are a few tracks that could do with some trimming and cutting, but on the whole this is just a joy to listen to. Not his most original score, and certainly not up there with his incredible score from last year, but it's still the Powell most of us love.

    Does it have music set to car chases and explosions?

    Oh yes. It's a bit like The Matrix Revolutions crossed with Demolition Man.

    Yeah, I agree with this. I think the biggest problem with the score is that its themes are not defined quite clearly enough. It's not that the score is unfocused - far from it - but the themes never get presented in as straightforward a way as you hear in the How to Train Your Dragon scores, and some of them are quite elusive.

    Curious as to what you would cut, though (other than the songs, obviously) - the album seems pretty consistently entertaining to me!

    Yeah, the songs and the chanting tracks. Perhaps some other bits here and there, but it's mostly excellent. There's definitely a better album hiding in amongst the 70 minutes.
  18. NP: Altered States - John Corigliano

    Very unsettling to listen to but always interesting.

  19. NP: The Fly - Howard Shore

    Still one of my favourite scores. I think that a chronological release of this would offer a different listening experience from the already-available album. Obviously, the chronological order of the tracks would reflect the story but I like hearing the descent into the dark material that the ordered sequence provides.

  20. NP: Halloween II - John Carpenter & Alan Howarth

    One of the strong things about this second score is that the original themes (and tracks even) are just lifted for this second score and just given a synth remake. As the films came (and went) the scores became less interesting as the use of the standard soundscape horror scoring increased and the themes decreased.

    I have left off the ill-judged suites for another time.

  21. NP: Stake Land - Jeff Grace

    Jeff Grace isn't mentioned much - which is a shame, because he puts out some great scores. I like this one...great themes, touching and tender passages and interesting action scoring.

    Ok, The Beastmaster theme in Gamba really annoyed me. So, I've moved onto...

    NP: The Martian - Harry Gregson-Williams

    Meh so far...

  27. And the Beastmaster is really the Galactica theme ...
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    NP: BRØRNE LØVEHJARTE (Eirik Myhr)

    Stageplay music for THE BROTHERS LIONHEART (based on the famous Astrid Lindgren book), by my good friend Eirik. Haunting, reflective and beautiful for small ensemble. Hardly an action track (although some suspense).
    I am extremely serious.

    It put me to sleep. It livens up a tad in the second half but not enough to really make a big difference.
