Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Yeah, they love to string those Newmans along for a while before finally giving them the Oscar. For Randy it was 20 years, 16 nominations after his first that he won. Poor Tommy is now at 22 years, 14 nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I hate sci-fi movies using "Space Oddity." Tired cliche at this point (still a great song, just overused for the genre). Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 And starting the album off with it drastically changes the mood. It's weird to recover from that when being launched into a symphonic score immediately afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,133 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 So, going for a Guardians of the Galaxy vibe clearly with the songs. This film, regardless of quality, is going to bomb soooo much. I think under 50 million domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 It sounded leagues better than the tracks we've heard from Spider-Man to my ears.

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm just gonna assume this is the worst track on the album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max 141 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I thought the track sounded okay (I like that choir at the beginning), and I'm curious to hear the rest. I started listening to a lot of Desplat after he was originally announced for Rogue One, and I never felt that action music was one of his strengths. He can write some catchy, lyrical themes and pieces, but I generally find his action material lacking. That had me worried for his Rogue One score, and was why I was so happy when Giacchino (my original pick/hope) took over. I don't like to compare this to Giacchino's Rogue One, because while I really, really like Giacchino's score, we'll never know what it would've sounded like if Giacchino had been given as much time to write it as he was for, say, Star Trek Beyond or as Desplat was for this. And we also don't know what sound Desplat would've used for Rogue One, because I don't think Desplat's Valerian sound here would've worked in Rogue One. Likewise, Giacchino might've produced a more Jupiter Ascending-style sound if he had been chosen for Valerian--we'll just never know. So, short story long, I don't think Rogue One vs. Valerian is a fair comparison... ...but since everyone is comparing/will compare them anyway, my vote is still for Giacchino.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I like both! Some very interesting synth stuff happening around the edges in that 2nd track: Or are those just flutes? Either way, sounds cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 God damn, now this is how you write a mostly symphonic score in 2017! Lightyears ahead of a certain other flavor of the month. Between AD and Enchantress' perpetually pouty face, the movie already has a lot going for it. Bilbo and toothless 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 He's blending orchestra and synth in a really cool, original-sounding way, not just aping Zimmer. Even when his melodies aren't engaging, I always appreciate Desplat's use of the orchestra. I can't wait to hear the full OST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
