Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End Great, fun score! Now listening to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. I still enjoy this one. It's a bit long-winded, but it has a bunch of wonderful themes, lovely orchestration and it still holds so much potential. Too bad these scores somehow turned more generic with each new installment. Much like the films, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,989 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Superman IV: The Quest for Peace by Alexander Courage. Still the second best Superman score out there. it's only a shame that being part of the (rather excellent) Blue Box means fewer people will buy it and discover for themselves.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I relistened to bits and bobs of Man of Steel and Batman v Superman this morning. Has Zimmer ever written a theme in a major key? ( that was a rhetorical question) The man is just in love with that minor sound. I guess it fits with the DC film universe vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I do wish Zimmer had just taken the Wonder Woman score though. He almost certainly would've done more interesting things with the theme than Rupert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, I remember now. It's an understandable stance on One's own work. Zimmer has said as much in the past regarding other musical fads that he started (i.e. Male choir of the 90s).

Fancyarcher 350 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Who Is Killing The Great Chefs of Europe - Henry Mancini - Fun stuff, very European, surprisingly no jazz either, it's very restrained and dramatic at point as well, and not overly cartoonish either. The perfect comedy score basically. I must have listened to the track The Movable Feast at least 20 times now. 1 hour ago, Incanus said: I think he has said that a few times now yet he just keep cranking them out. Master of the Universe by Bill Conti: Quite good stuff Bill, uncomplicated and tuneful, very cartoonish with broad, big colours and gestures. I know people consider the score to be a Williams clone and it basically is, but I can't stop listening to the hell out of it. It's so good, and full of themes! One of Conti's absolute best.

publicist 4,643 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Andrey Rublyov - Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov One of the strongest scores for a Tarkovski movie. It has a stark but ethereal tone poem quality. Ovchinnikov doesn't try to drive the narrative, he's more completely focused on Tarkovski's images and creates abstract musical tableaus that still gain a surprising amount of emotional resonance. It's a bit like an academically more sophisticated 'Thin Red Line'. If you are into musical form and expression beyond usual Hollywood stuff, give it a try.

Bespin 8,480 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 On June 6, 1944, Canada participated as a full partner with the United States and the United Kingdom in the greatest amphibious invasion in history. Code-named Operation Overlord, but generally known as D-Day, the invasion included 14,000 Canadians among the nearly 150,000 Allied troops who landed or parachuted onto the beaches of Normandy.

There are some lovely moments in the score presaging some of Williams' later comedic and whimsical material from scores like The Terminal. But then there is also the wacky stuff of which the Crimebuster is the funniest and best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
