NP: TERESA (Federico Jusid)
I vastly prefer this over the CARLOS score by Jusid that everyone raved over last year (which I found merely OK).I am extremely serious. -

It was until he topped it with his next score. The guy writes absolutely miserable film music.
Batman vs superman is actually much more enjoyable than Deadpool. At least it has slower, dramatic breaks
I agree with you D, Some of it is very enjoyable. I don't know or care who was responsible for the ear bleeding "action music", it's awful, even worse than Man of Steel.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Of course. And if everyone raved about Teresa you would have gushed about Carlos.
Keep it up!

EDDIE THE EAGLE
This has the sound that I grew up with, from in my opinion the best decade music-wise. A sort of melodic simplicity and optimism and accessibility that isn't hip anymore in these dark and gloomy times. Zimmer's late 80s, early 90s influence is everywhere, which is cool as vanilla ice. Not every cue is like that, but at least I sit up and notice the ones that are. Because they are written to be expressive, and make one notice the music and the moment in the film. So I'm glad when a score comes around that actually goes against the current day trend.

Nope. I just prefer the more pastoral, 'religious sound'-like atmosphere of TERESA (with an uptempo track or two) over the cymbal-crash-heavy CARLOS.I am extremely serious. -

In my opinion, which shouldn't mean a whole lot to be honest.
My formative years, multiple great film scores every year, Michael Jackson and various artists making catchy music that is still among my most-played today...
Hell yeah... 80s FTW !!

From the 1940s up to the present I find in every decade music that I love. The earliest pop music that I actively remember is from ca 1977, ABBA, James Last, pop bands like Sailor, acts like Zusi Quatro, that my parents would play on their parties. (There is a party room in the basement of my parent's house, ans many families had back in the 70s in Germany. When I was at high school me and the gang had some nice parties there ourselves.)
But yeah, the formative teenage years leave the deepest impression. As a synth fan, New Wave had a greater appeal for me then R&B. That music will stay with me forever.
VolkerBach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

I did. It's too full-on. It's "pretty" and everything, but it completely lacks the dynamics that made his ISABEL scores so great. It's pure surface; it has no (or very little) depth. TERESA, however, has all of that in spades.
I enjoy several of the tracks, but CARLOS is IMO one of the most overrated scores of last year.I am extremely serious. -

It's not full on. Where are you getting this from? There is one battle cue that fits your description of a cymbal clash heavy cue, and even that is a flat out wrong description of the cue. The rest of the score is a mix of gentle, airy themes, religious choral cues, harp lullabies, chambers pieces, and romance.
If you did listen to it, you obviously didn't pay much attention to it.
Your assessment of the score is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay off!

Yeesh! This isn't about enjoying the score or not; hate it for all I care. However, this is about making sure you don't misrepresent the score, which is what you are clearly doing.

Not really. It's how I hear it. On a purely factual level, there may not be cymbal crashes every two seconds, but it's part of a general "overblown" aesthetic, IMO. It doesn't have the kind of build-up and dynamics (neither within tracks nor within the album as a whole) as TERESA or ISABEL. It's like Jusid wants to go "full-on" from the start to the end (that it taps into different idioms along the way isn't really relevant when this overall aesthetic informs it). So I find it a bit tiring as a listening experience.
But by all means -- it's not bad. It's just not as good as everyone says it is.I am extremely serious. -
