I don't know what people are talking about when complaining about those. Sure, it's not exactly groundbreaking stuff but I'd say for a 7th and 8th films in the series Williams has shown some stamina and managed to keep the galaxy far away quite fresh. I've never fully warmed up to TLJ, but TFA is one of my favourites from this century and sits comfortably above the prequels in my list.

Incanus 5,713 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Agatha Christie's Poirot by Christopher Gunning: My own extended compilation of all the available Poirot music and it is a lovely 1½ hour listen with a lot of variety, including two great suites, one for solo violin and orchestra (aka Poirot Fantasy) and one for saxophone and orchestra (Poirot Variants). Classy and elegant orchestral writing and often the composer manages to conjure a lot of power from a chamber-sized ensemble. I only wish Gunning would release more music from the individual episodes as beyond the obligatory repetition of the main theme they contain a lot of excellent music.

Jay 37,285 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Weird, I ALMOST listened to that one next, after almost listening to Batman Returns, before settling on Temple of Doom. It was because it snowed this morning, my commute was all white, it put me in the mood for the Elfman choir sound, but somehow Doom just won anyway.

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The Lion King (Walt Disney Legacy Collection) by Hans Zimmer Gloroiosus and triumphant, with the obviously notable songs and a score to math. There are two great themes that I seem to have rediscovered in this expanded relesase, which has probably been my favourite of Legacy Collection I've listened too so far. Excellent work on Zimmer's part. The Post by John Williams What stands out to me in this score is Williams utilization of the string section, especially in tracks like The Presses Roll. Others, such as The Papers, possess a much different musical structure, using synth and low strings to unravel the secrets of the government papers. Deciding to Publish is a tense track, the strings building to the moment when the final decision is made. I quite like this score.
