Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Minority Report (nearly) complete score. This has been one of my favorite JW's since first listen. I am unable to articulate in musical terminology...anything, really. All I can say is that this thing's got me hooked right from the start, and I'm floored for an hour and a half of my life.

publicist 4,643 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I really like Pat Doyle's AS YOU LIKE IT. Is RAGGEDY MAN Goldsmith's last really charming score? I think so, all of the small stuff he did later was in one way or another infested by more generic Hollywood schmaltz (LOVE FIELD, RUDY, POWDER). There is one badly cut sequence in the movie when E. T.'s Henry Thomas and his brother fly a kite. If you listen to the score cue it's just sublime, if you watch the sequence later you will wistfully remember a time when composers could pull rabbits out of hats for half-finished movies that played maybe for 3 days in the theater.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 It's been awhile since I listened to the Mercenaries scores, but they are fantastic. The first one feels a lot like an MOH score. The sequel is full Tilton style. Black would be my personal favorite out of all of these, simply because I played the game like crazy when it came out.If you haven't listened to Fracture, I think you would like that one the best. Can't really say which one is my least favorite. Probably World In Flames, but that's not saying it's bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,353 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I need Tilton to write more music.Agreed!Him and Andrea Datzman's scores to Alcatraz (short lived Fox TV series) NEEDS a release. It's among the best scores of the 2010s and was my favorite TV scoring of 2012. Not a second has been released anywhere or leaked, and its fantastic!

publicist 4,643 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Beasts Of The Southern Wild - Dan Romer & Benh Zeitlin (2012)It's the kind of score, when you return to it, that makes you think: "Why don't I listen to this more?". Great music for a great film. The main theme (that appears for example at 02'57 in The Bathtub, for example), as well as the other motifs that show up throughout the score are wonderfully whimsical. The main theme is a full-blown americana hymn...nothing really whimsical about it, or is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Currently Jarre's rejected score is playing. Only my first listen, but it's pretty awful. Or it's good and I just don't like Jarre's style.There's a theme in there, which is ok when it appears, but everything else is all over the place.I feel it would've sucked the fun right out of the film because the music is simply too overblown and frantic.Luckily Jerry stepped in and wrote a much more entertaining score.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Superman Returns John Ottman does a decent job of updating the superhero sound for the '00's, but the score seems to be loud all the time. Even the "quieter" parts are backed by a huge choir. It's decent music, but its lack of variation in scope makes it all sound a bit same-y.
