#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 The Avengers, Alan Silvestri. Quite generic, but very listenable action score. Silvestri's style is actually 100% right for Marvel. Its weird this score isnt better? Still, the theme is very cool. And welk used throughout the franchise now. I love Elfmans version of it.

James 119 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I skipped the songs, there are two or three versions throughout the album. My favorite track is this, it joins the main ideas of the score. I've never seen the movie, but I imagine in a church or an empty road because of the bells.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Listened to the 3 track Goodbye, Mr. Chips suite from Richard Addinsell's 1939 score. I love it. Beautiful and memorable music. Sadly, I've never seen the film.

Incanus 5,713 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Hard Rain by Christopher Young: A competent action-thriller score, overall somewhat craftsman-like in quality with some glimpses of excitement and thematic grooviness. The main title is wonderfully dramatic and presents both main themes, "the power of water/nature" on powerful horns and the harmonica led "bad guy theme" for Morgan Freeman but sadly the rest of the album doesn't quite live up to the dynamic opening.

crocodile 7,978 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Oh I forgot this already came out. I'm having a Danny Elfman evening tonight. Some of his best work he's written this century came from projects that were in no way film-related. That is where he excels the most and where his modern voice can be truly expressed. That is probably I'm more interested in his recent violin concerto than any in his recent film works. And his finest current film work is being written for documentaries.

Kitsch 70s sci-fi film, which, though I haven't seen it, looks wonderfully bad - but to me Barry's score is just plain wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,978 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The Snowman by Marco Beltrami. The film might be indeed a trainwreck but the score is something else entirely. Bit Herrmannesque, bit Elfmanesque... it is just perfect for a thriller set against a wintry backdrop. Very classy. One of 2017's very best (not a difficult task, by the way).
