Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I should be clear, I don't personally care if Dennis McCarthy is conservative or a Republican. But adding his name to a project like that, with fringe crackpot conspiracy theories and idiotic reasoning, regardless of political affiliation, is very sad to me. It's everything that Trek stands against. Taikomochi and SteveMc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Kingdom of Heaven by Harry Gregson-Williams: One of Harry's best with surprisingly subdued exploration of heroism in his music that hones more in on the spiritual qualities that lie under the surface of the Medieval epic. That is not to say that there isn't big epic music here but I gravitate toward the more intimate material in the score as well as the great choral writing where the composer's own musical roots are strongly showcased.

Incanus 5,713 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 The Nativity Story by Mychael Danna: Christmas-time is coming so this score is getting a lot of plays. Gorgeous melding of many styles and historical musical references into a perfect whole and the choral and soloist work gets a special mention. Eastern Promises by Howard Shore: This would be perfect music for a rainy autumn evening as it oozes both Shore's own brooding style and Slavic melancholy all tied around the sinewy elegant violin solos of Nicola Benedetti. Classy stuff and the album is just the right length for this type of material. Alien by Jerry Goldsmith: A tremendous score full of wonderful atmosphere. Goldsmith expertly draws the listener in through the deceptive Romantic opening and quickly down to dread, angst, nail biting suspense and, pardon the pun, alien musical landscapes with unique instrumentation and very meticulously executed musical concepts and ideas. While it is a score I don't listen to all that often, every time I do, I am reminded of the musico-dramatic genius of this composer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,713 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Atlantis - The Lost Empire by James Newton Howard: The early 2000's Disney animations brought always something interesting out of JNH and Atlantis is no exception. A few obligatory Mickey Mousings aside (it is Disney after all) the composer treats this almost as a live action big budget fantasy film and scores it big, bold and colorful. There are usual allusions to world music, even a dash of Enya-like vocals here and there giving this piece a unique flavour. What sounds like gamelan and all other kinds of twinkling percussion instruments are here to reflect the fantastical locale of the lost Atlantis and its spirits, and awe-filled choral and soloist moments that up the musical stakes considerably toward the finale all wrapped in beautiful and accessible melodic content from the heroic adventure theme to the slowly building rapturous religioso/mysterioso choral chant for the ancestors of Atlantis and Kida. It is all highly direct and melodic stuff and follows the musical vocabulary well established in the years prior but there is something very endearing about James Newton Howard's sound of this period, the exuberant innocence, which he seems to have left behind in most of his recent fantasy scores that are now in turn steeped in the current film scoring tropes and trends. And while the full score runs for about 75 minutes the composer compiled a pretty nifty 50+ minute album that contains nearly all the best material from the score. Still again I wouldn't say no to an expanded version of this and the rest JNH's Disney scores. Hopefully the studio's own Legacy Collection will make it reality sooner rather than later.
