Thank you for the link Maurizio!

EDIT: I listened to a couple of the first tracks and this does sound mostly atmopsheric.

Yes, but it's interesting to note that most of it is achieved through orchestral/acoustic textures. I guess this is one of those scores which works great within the filmic context and a bit less as pure listening experience.

Desplat has scored almost all the major awards contenders in the last couple of years

Some tracks are rather interesting and stray from the SPY GAME norm...it is better than ARGO, i only needed the first cue to confirm that.

As most of the Desplat's music...

Oh, come on... you've said this every time a Desplat-related score pops up.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is completely unlistenable, Matt. Don't even bother with Rise Of The Guardians, all this guy does is textural underscore!

[Matt C 605]

Okay, now you're pulling my leg here.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is completely unlistenable, Matt.

I sense sarcasm, but it kind of is. Maybe not completely, but largely.

You on crack or something?!
