    NP : SPIDEY COME HOME - Michael Giacchino


    A proper spiderman score. This is really good.


    NP. Very entertaining. It carries over some of the feeling the old TV scores had.

    Volker


    It does, there's some breezy youthful lightness in some tracks more in keeping with Spideys character than the earlier scores by Elfman, Horner, Zimmer.


    He chooses the same route he chose for Star Trek - including adapting the original theme - when he linked his music back to Courage and Fred Steiner rather than to Jerry Goldsmith.
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    WAR OF THE PLANET OF THE APES - Michael Giacchino

    Have been playing it since morning, all on repeat. This score further proves why we are so lucky to have Giacchino scoring for the musical genre we love. This is a coherent, mature, and complete score for a change, with clear structures and beautifully bold themes. Absolutely loved it. Especially the end credits suite, it's the top highlight of the album. Overall, hands-down the best score of 2017 (so far).

    Not going to disagree with you D, I loved Spidey but this is even better. Man is hitting them out of the ball park. Both scores will be getting more plays from me in the next few days.

    SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING - Michael Giacchino

    Despite my ever growing annoyance with this whole Marvel superhero universe thing, this is certainly a good score.

    I'd hate to be someone who intensely dislikes Giacchino's music. Man, sucks to be that guy.

    War... Planet... Apes Michael Giacchino

    There's some fine stuff here, but like the first one, the album lets it down a little. I imagine it's superb in the film, but it doesn't entirely hold up on album. I think a 30 minute edit would do this wonders. What's good is brilliant.

    In "the good old days" soundtracks ran at an average 30 minutes. The bad news was that you'd see the film and there would be scoring you couldn't believe didn't make it on to the album.

    The good news nowadays is we have the luxury of editing what we want.

    Inception Hans Zimmer

    Hans Zimmer was the perfect composer for this film.
  18. Though about 40 years ago I'd give that distinction to John Barry.

    Raiders of the Lost Ark John Williams

    The theme was unfortunately too late to be included on the Voyager space crafts. But it is certainly worthy of it.

    WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES - Michael Giacchino

    While Spider-Man: Homecoming is certainly an accomplished and fun score in its own right, serving the film for which it is made well, it's also (due to the mainstream blockbuster resctrictions of its source) a predictable score which loses its ability to surprise in the second half, when it goes all blockbustery action. Apes, however, captivated me throughout, even though I'd been listening it for the first time somewhere between 1:30 and 3:00 at night. It's a mature score with intelligent orchestrations, melancholic themes and a welcome inventivity (that chilling referencing of Ligeti in its choir!) which is so rare nowadays.

    Although I think that holds true for 9 out of 10 score albums nowadays, I genuinely think the duration of this album is justified. Especially the 15 minute slow burning build-up until we're introduced to the first melodic theme in Exodus Wounds, which is such an emotional release especially after the chilling atonality that has gone before. Maybe trim it down a bit in its second half, but even then, if I'm looking at a highlight compilation I'm getting at at least 60 minutes, and then I'm worried about getting certain themes too close after each other.
  23. Wow. I am genuinely surprised to hear so much lavish praise for this new Apes score. I only made it through the first 13 tracks on my first attempt but I was bored by most of it. There was one track in there that I liked, and parts of two others that I thought were the impressive, but there is an awful lot of down time on most of these tracks, which very little going on at near-zero volume. I don't know what the end of the album contains, but this far in I would have to edit this album judiciously to want to come back to it. His Spidey score, on the other hand, is really good, and worked wonderfully in the (very enjoyable) film.
  24. NP: Pride & Prejudice (2005) - Dario Marianelli

    I found this CD on the bargain bin and bought it on impulse. It's the first Marianelli in my collection. It's a delightful score. I surly have to further acquaint myself with Marianelli's work.

    He's done some damn fine scores, check out Atonement, Beyond The Gates ( the final track of which is my favourite theme of the 00's ), Jane Eyre, The Brothers Grimm, Everest, V For Vendetta and others all available on Spotify.

    Yeah, it's great. Apparently Matt Reeves, the director, is helming The Batman. I hope he brings Giacchino along and ditches Junk XL.


    Didn't know it. Hopefully.

    Did you even let it go past by the initial slow burn and build up? 2nd half of the album. Also did you try to turn the volume up? there's some fantastic orchestrations and arrangements in there. Proper structure and themes for a change. Love it, been playing it non stop since last week.

    I think the way you listen to Apes, or how you enjoy your scores in general, says a lot about your appreciation of it. Giacchino's War for the Planet of the Apes needs to be experienced with your full attention to be enthralled by its slow burning buildup and to sense the emotional release of Exit Wounds, which effect is diminished greatly when you play it in the background whilst doing other stuff. Spider-Man, however, IS suited for that purpose, because of its presence, lightness, and constant flow of big and easy to grasp themes.

    Since I listened to Apes in the dark, whilst lying in bed, it was quite an emotional and atmospheric ride, and I can understand you wouldn't get any of that during the day while doing other things. Also, are you someone who generally prefers to listen to scores the one way or the other? And as such, in general, wants to get something else out of your listening experience?
