- Comment [b]NP: MEGALOPOLIS - Osvaldo Golijov[/b] I'm loving this! Old fashioned Hollywood bombast (New Rome, Saturnalia) meets film noir atmospherics (The Map of Utopia, Noir Love) that is typically Golijov, reminiscent of his earlier Tetro for Coppola at times, or his own contemporary classical work. At ...

- Comment Yes, agreed, that’s another big problem of the score, yet since it’s become so common in modern commercial film scoring, I might have become used to it. I believe Jed Kurzel’s score for Covenant didn’t have a strong personality either, besides from the references to Goldsmith. I think I ...

- Comment NP: ALIEN ROMULUS - Benjamin Wallfish There are truly moments in here that had me pleasantly surprised, with an impressive orchestral quality and Ligeti-like use of the choir, which made me wonder where all the negativity came from - and then the atrocious electronics came on, and I was like, 'ah ...

- Comment [b]JP: THE CREATOR - Hans Zimmer **[/b] This was a disappointment, if I’m honest, especially after the praise I’ve seen it received. It comes across as an amalgamation of familiar sounds Zimmer has produced over the years for better scores, but with minimal inspiration to give the film its own ...

- Comment Thanks. I don’t listen to music much lately, but when I do, I do tend to visit on here :). (And I read the JWFan forum to stay up to date with what’s happening in terms of new releases). Yeah, agree completely on your assessment of the action music. And I can’t wait to see the film! I’m ...

- Comment [b]NP: AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER - Simon Franglen[/b] It kind of reminds me of listening to The Matrix 4 last year: the DNA of the original score is there, there are flourishes that nod to Horner’s style, but it doesn’t enrichen the sonic world of Avatar. I know there are some new themes but ...

- Comment [b]Just played: THE FABELMANS - John Williams[/b] This chamber piece from Williams is as elegant as you’d expect, but also restrained and light in emotions. It’s charming for sure, but if this will indeed turn out to be his final score for Spielberg, he went out with a whisper instead of a ...

- Comment Today’s Goldsmith: [b]THE EDGE - Jerry Goldsmith[/b] With its 38 minutes and only a single theme this is not a ‘big score’ per se, but that main theme is a majestic one and gets used throughout ([i]Lost in the Wild, Mighty Hunter[/i], and touching versions in [i]The River[/i] and ...

- Comment Today’s Goldsmith: [b]NIGHT CROSSING - Jerry Goldsmith[/b] The [i]Main Title[/i] to this reminded me of [i]Capricorn One[/i] at first, but [i]Night Crossing[/i] turned out to be a score that I found a lot more engaging, balancing suspense, thematic statements and orchestral color (mainly through ...

- Comment Ah yes, I’m not sure if it’s indeed a waltz, but [i]The Enterprise[/i] was certainly a track that stood out to me, in which Goldsmith satisfyingly integrated his main theme through several incarnations of the melody.

Myself, I haven’t even seen the film (and I’m not that into [i]Star Trek[/i]), so I lack all of that, and I’m sure that adds an extra layer of understanding and appreciation for the score :).

- Comment Yeah, worth it, thanks for sharing! [i]Klingon Battle[/i] is indeed a strong cue, as there are several tracks in there that certainly showcase Goldsmith’s mastery of the craft. I just thought other scores I listened to are stronger examples of this :). I think what might be part of it was me ...

Sure, it’s a solid score composition wise and it handles its thematic material well (though nothing groundbreaking) but I also fail to recognize the ...

I’m an hour in and there’s a clear distinction between music worthy of a release, and underscore that was better left ...

Next to [i]Lionheart[/i], this might be the thematically best developed Goldsmith score so far. Even though none of its themes are as thrilling as in certain previous Goldsmith ...

- Comment Today’s Goldsmith: [b]CAPRICORN ONE - Jerry Goldsmith[/b] Listened to the original soundtrack album recording. It’s got a good main and subsidiary theme, which get a good workout throughout the score (even though the lounge version of Kay’s Theme is… not for me). It’s a fine score with a ...

It’s a score brimming with ideas, amongst ...

Maybe that's why some reviewers have given up on rating reviews?[/quote] Agree, by the way. A rating is meaningless, ...

Speaking of waltzes, this one relies heavily upon them, as a very effective way to signify the Nazi’s. Goldsmith finds a way to make the main waltz effectively menacing and even quite gnarly in ...
