  1. I don't really care about artwork, it's what's on the disc that matters, but you would've thought they could put a little more effort into that cover! Thanks for the constructive input Thor... wink

    It's a bit too similar to the regular season six release isn't it? Granted it's available on the internet only so it's not trying to stand out as as different product in a shop.

    I'll probably just end up tagging the tracks onto the end of my existing playlist rather than treating it as a separate album.

  5. I'm not someone who's intimately familiar with Giacchino's Lost music and maybe that's why I enjoyed his recent Let Me In more than some people? Yes, there's a similarity between the two but maybe the saturation coverage of Lost may put this effectively atmospheric score (i.e., Let Me In) at a disadvantage?

    Possibly; I'm not a fan of his music that sounds like Lost but isn't, however even though this is another CD of *that* sound I can't wait!

    So...any idea how quickly Colosseum & Varese tend to ship limited editions?

    They say "CD shipping week commencing 11th", so really they've got all week... confused

    In LET ME IN, there's no passion and themes that characterize Lost's music.

  10. I'm not sure passion or themes are really as necessary for what seems to be a low-key and perhaps unconventional (?, I've not seen the movie) project compared to something like Lost that was so massive themes and passion would be required to try and keep people interested and remind the audience what's going on?

    Plus, in LOST even the suspence / action / chase - thriller music had motifs, either melodic or rhythmic and was never plain random string textures.

    I have seen the original and that was certainly low-key and unconventional. But I am wondering if the Hollywood-ised version had lost some of that feel in order to make it more palatable to the American audience. Listening to Giacchino's version I'd say that a lot of the feel of the original has been retained in the remake.

    So Giacchino's work is just "plain random string textures"? Maybe I should have scored that - I can do random.

    The original had two very beautiful themes in it.

  15. Demetris, how much time Giacchino spent on Lost and how much on Let Me In? Count this in the equation.

    I was exaggerating to make a point.

    There's not any themes in there, and the boy soprano thingy sounds so tired these days.

    The music remains mostly an observer; as i said i am going to watch the movie and then judge it completely, but it's disappointing.

    And i don't think the Americans retained the feeling of the original 'cause they've obviously (from the trailers and music) killed the emotion, the relationship of the two children and the innocence, for terror and scares (now she's the evil bitch luring him into her dark world).

    True. I don't think Soderqvist spent more time for his version though.

    Yes, it did. (Well one at least. wink )

    But, having themes in a score doesn't necessarily make it a better score.

    It's actually hard to write a piece without any repeated material at all. That is randomness. I've never found LOST's action music managed to make the leap from 'structured' to 'ear-grabbing' though, for me.

    My main enjoyment of Lost's action music is the interesting uses of orchestra: the unique tones and textures he gets them to produce, and the resulting interesting feelings.

    But it's only when the action music is bolstered by an emotional melody, such as in the latter part of "Bobbing For Freighters", that it becomes truly awesome. So awesome that such tracks are worth buying an entire 2 disc release for.
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    In Lost's action cues he uses motifs from the series and builds on them throughout the whole seasons; it's not just one time played action cues and then onto another entirely new thing.

    I know; my problem isn't repeated ideas; but the lack of any bonding rhythmo-melodic elements entirely, a phenomenon much observed lately in many scores, especially action / fantasy stuff.

    I think the character themes progress the most. To be honest there aren't many action motifs, and the few that exist don't really get expanded (I can think of two at the most).

    The most spectacular evolution comes in Jack's, Ben's and Locke's music.

    I always found Giacchino's action writing the weakest aspect of his composing. With Lost too, there it is far outshined by excellent themes and also his montage writing (the Tailies montage of Season 2; Of Mice and Ben; etc.).

    Looks like Michael is scoring Cars 2... and a whole bunch of other films!

    "Giacchino is pretty much booked through 2012. Just out is his vampire movie "Let Me In" for "Cloverfield" director Matt Reeves; it features the Seattle Boys Choir. Next he tackles the comedy "Monte Carlo" for his "Family Stone" director Thomas Bezucha and the Seth Rogen-produced drama "I'm With Cancer."

    He's already begun work on "Cars 2" for Pixar founder John Lasseter; he will finish in the spring. Abrams' "Super 8," "Mission: Impossible IV" and the sci-fi epic "John Carter of Mars" (directed by another Pixar vet, Andrew Stanton) will follow."

    Maybe five movies a year isn't an issue if he's not worrying about TV shows and the Oscars as well.
