KK 3,307 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 That's true. But there is something Tylery about those chord progressions, clanging anvils and string ostinato.It might be just Elfman paying attention to his colleagues' work.KarolProbably. But that's more for the orchestration and colours. The theme is pretty classic Elfman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 It's certainly one of the better Marvel themes.Also better then anything from TBOT5A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Let's not get ahead of ourselves!But yes, it's my favourite of the MCU themes. Elfman's seasoned instincts once again shine in the 30 min score he's done, which proves he should do more of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,984 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 It's kind of up there with Horner's Spider-Man theme and two Silvestri tunes. Not terrific, not groundbreaking. But doing exactly what it should be doing.Which says a great lot about younger composers, more than anything else.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Will Henry Jackman end up composing both parts of Infinity Wars? Considering the directors are the same from the second and third Captain America movies and they're keeping him on board for Civil War seems likely. I think it could be the closest we got to Powell actually scoring one of these movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omen II 1,235 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I went to a rather eccentric but nonetheless enjoyable concert of Great British Film Music given by the Philharmonia Orchestra yesterday evening. They played some of Brian Tyler's music from this movie as the encore (I understand that the Philharmonia plays on the original soundtrack). I'd not heard the score before so I'm afraid I cannot tell you which cue it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,625 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Another score I'll never listen to again. I find Elfman's theme really generic too even if it's the least worst thing about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,984 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I love this tune, reminds me of Cutthroat Island. Well, similar sort of thing. It could have been from a high sea swashbuckler. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I quite like the Elfman material on its own. His addition to Silvestri's theme is pretty good. But most of the score is blah and it was particularly lackluster in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,647 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I saw the film a second time, so I was able to pay attention to the score a little more closely. I have to say, the few moments that the score really stood out for me (the percussion when Widow's cycle dropped out of the jet, the music as Vision looks at himself in the glass) were both Tyler bits. The other stand-out was the end credits, which were of course Elfman/Silvestri. Pretty much all of the other music was just serviceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,984 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Well, it's all quite hacked up. The opening sequence is a perfect example of this. It starts with 45 seconds of Elfman cue then segues into Alan Silvestri material, then it's Elfman again, then Tyler. Then Elfman, then Tyler.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 That'd be mine as well. Having that played during the end title sequence in the theater was cinematic bliss. Especially love the use of the choir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,984 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Just got my CD. Had to import it as it wasn't widely released in Europe.What I find really funny is that Tyler's stuff was recorded by Simon Rhodes and Elfman's stuff wax mixed at Remote Control. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,984 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 That it seems sort of pointless to hire Simon Rhodes, a recording engineer with classical background, to handle Brian Tyler's material.

crocodile 7,984 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Just watched the film with Joss Whedon's commentary. There are some pretty interesting things in there (of various nature)...Anyway, he mentions the score on four occasions. One of those instances is about using the helicarrier cue by Silvestri for nostalgic purposes. Three other ones refer to Elfman's stuff: the Banner/Widow farm scene, the big church heroic cue (which he calls the most important cue in the film) and the Captain America's theme cameo. Apparently, there was a different version of the cue (doesn't say by whom) but they thought of making that statement instead. But Whedon now things it was a mistake because it was supposed to be a moment of doubt for the character, not the opposite.Interestingly, he never ever mentions Tyler.Karol Cerebral Cortex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
