I did put that kind of in there because it doesn't perfectly mirror the LDS religion, but many core doctrines are present or at least alluded to. It's also noteworthy that 1980 is far less religious than Battlestar Galactica is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by reboot you're talking about the 2004 series, there aren't too many references to mormonism (except for remnants from the original). If you're talking about Galactica 1980, there aren't too many religious references in that either. Basically, the original series is about the lost twelve tribes of israel returning to earth. Galactica 1980 is just a continuation of the story after they arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,989 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Band of Brothers. God, this makes me miss Michael Kamen so much. While his music is so full of emotion, it bever succumbs to tired sentimental clichés. Just the right balance between the Americana, contemplative drama and a remembrance piece. Still at the very top of modern TV scoring. Karol - who also listened to Jupiter Ascending and Monuments Men. Dixon Hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Flesh + Blood by Basil Poledouris: Invigorating! Basil's faux-Medieval evocations combined with the jaunty almost piraty swashbuckling feel of the action music and two swooning love themes make this score such a wonderful ride. It's all a bit rough around the edges which gives the music part of its rugged charm. Fans of the composer's far better known Conan scores should check this one out as it is in my opinion just as good. Chinatown by Jerry Goldsmith: It's a classic of neo noir. I have to admit that my fond memories of the film cast a sort of rosy hue on the score but it is a pretty brilliant piece of composition done in record time with suspenseful biting modernism coming together with a dreamy and nostalgic love theme to create a perfect whole, which is both timeless and at the same time curiously very evocative of the film's setting, the L.A.of 1940's. Despite actually being a somewhat challenging listen during its most modernistic parts, the mood this score sets and maintains is haunting and gripping at the same time. The Black Dahlia by Mark Isham: One of Isham's best works, this soundtrack is a love letter to neo noir taking its cue from Goldsmith's Chinatown and L.A. Confidential. Admittedly sometimes De Palma's temp track bleeds through, like on the opening track The Zoot Suit Riots (hello Bloody Christmas from L.A. Confidential) but mostly Isham does his best to resurrect of the musical language of the film noirs and succeeds very well from the sharp angled action passages to the smoky trumpet led love themes with the composer himself providing solos on his instrument of choice. While the film was a bit of a dud, the score is one I return to frequently for its dark melancholy and sweeping noir strings. publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Yup! The temp track love shows in places, but it's done well with enough of its own voice to appreciate. The first track has lovely opening passage, probably drawn from the ethereal second half of "Journey to the Line".

Popular Post nightscape94 965 Posted September 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2016 Not a score, but listened to Elfman's Rabbit & Rogue. Some really good stuff going on there, neat orchestration, cool transitions, and nice transitioning between large and intimate moments. I have been largely indifferent toward Elfman's film music for at least 10 years, but this was a welcome change.

With main title alone, with its distinctive brushed piano strings followed by a melancholy trumpet solo, you already have the main points of the story and its setting: the drought-parched landscape and the doomed romance of the film's two central characters in 1930s Los Angeles.

Exactly! Goldsmith really reached for the very core elements of the story with his music throughout. And it is such an economic score and extremely well spotted and it works so beautifully to set the mood and enhance the story and the characters.
