Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 We have confirmation! Pixar's 'Coco' to feature score by Michael Giacchino & song by Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Bobby Lopez. Interesting that it's just a single song by the Frozen duo, but I guess Pixar doesn't make full-blown musicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,467 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I'm warming up to this A LOT on third listen. It's still probably too long of an album even at only 58 minutes, but its fun. It's a light listen, no big emotional moments like Up or Inside Out. James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will 2,215 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Just finished my first listen. First off: Some of the (non-Giacchino) songs are awesome. "Recuerdame" in particular has just a bit of that lovely classic Hollywood musical feel, mixed with some Mexican elements (although the English pop version is pretty bad; I'll only be coming back to the more orchestral Spanish ones). The fact that I am currently studying Spanish at school made the songs all the more interesting, as I could pick out little bits and bobs of meaning from the lyrics. The score itself was rather overwhelming on first listen -- as first listens often are -- and I think I'll need to give it another listen to start to anchor myself on the core ideas (first listens are often very "dizzying" experiences). There's a lot of wild, upbeat Mexican music. While it is certainly well done, it's hard to not to feel like it's pastiche. That said, luckily there are still many moments where Giacchino's trademark emotional writing (mostly of the lush string and brass variety - I believe there's little if any solo piano here) shines through amid the ethnic elements. I suspect I will enjoy those cues more with future listens. "Fiesta con de la Cruz" is probably my favorite cue right now. A little repetitive, but really fun! Giacchino puts his own little spin on the ethnic flavor. This cue was heard in the RAH video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,467 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Oh I haven't even listened to the songs yet, only the 58 minute score program. Should I check out the songs? Did Giacchino have anything to do with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just now I was listening to "Duete a Traves del Tiempo" and I could have sworn I recognized a melody from the score. So I'm not sure now. Maybe there was collaboration on at least some of them? In any case, there are some enjoyable moments on that first disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James 119 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I've been so disconnected from everything that I did not even know that they had already released this one! EDIT: Excellent score! It's not as good as the work Horner did for other movies with Mexican ambiance, but it's more a proof of Giacchino's creativity and adaptability. My favorite moments are the most festive ones like "Fiesta with De la Cruz", "Reunión Familiar de Rivera", "Will He Shoemaker" ("La Bikina", "La Llorona", "El mundo es mí família") ... Those in which music tries to show itself in a more traditional cultural way. The songs are fun, but nothing compares to the ones we heard in Moana. The flutes remembers Horner the whole time, the same with the danger motif in "Blessin and a Fessing" and "The Show Must Go On". "The Whom The Bell Tolls" shouts "The Vulture's Theme".

Jay 37,467 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 So I came home from work yesterday to find Amazon had delivered it, but it came via UPS instead of the USPS for some reason. Weird! I was surprised to see it was just a 1CD program with a ton of tracks, since the early leak was 2CD set, and the Spotify version is a 3CD set!!! It's all very confusing so I googled around, and it turns out the digital release has THREE EXTRA Giacchino score cuts that are't on the CD version!! WTF!? 29 Cave Dwelling on the Past (2:22) - not on the CD 34 The Show Must Go On (2:31) - not on the CD 36 A Run for the Ages (1:50) - not on the CD What's really confusing is that the grand total time of the 38 track version is only 78 minutes, meaning it would have fit on one CD. WTF!? The Spotify version has those 3 score cuts and ALSO FIFTEEN additional SONGS as well. What a mess! I put together a spreadsheet to compare them all https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRhqA7wZBFg0wrruwzfnEkuA5v1NjnQqZ9WWml7eM_wh9LSF6YkJBpW6WT0UuWNuaXPce35293H0X9q/pubhtml Arpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Saw the film. Gia's score is good. But there are many songs to overshadow his score. One theme stuck out as a great fantastic theme - the theme that plays when the lead character crosses the bridge of flower petals into the land of the dead. It is used a couple of other times and I found it quite memorable each time. Which brings me to the bait and switch Pixar played while revealing the film's composer. Honest to God, it should have been a Mexican composer. After seeing the film, that much is obvious. But Gia still is respectful of the rich heritage of the culture being explored here. That said, one very curious thing I found was that the film for all practical purposes is a musical. And Gia seems to not use the song melodies in the score, atleast as it sounded to my ear. But that bridge theme is really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James 119 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I think that the songwriters should have been Mexican. There so many popular songs recycled and few new material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 The score does seem overshadowed by the songs. I'm split on the idea of Giacchino using the songwriter's themes, and it would've been conflicting to have strong thematic identities fighting for ground with the songs.
