  1. Absolutely amazing! I had been hoping to see this expanded score being released on Black Friday and I'm so glad it's happening. One of my absolute top scores by Danny Elfman, from a movie that's been my favourite since school days. And the additional cues by Christopher Young and John Debney are icing on the cake.
  2. They could've just used that different take for versions 2 and 3 of the end credits, and kept the original one for the film version. I guess I'll buy the album anyway, but still... The end credits piece was one of my most anticipated unreleased tracks. I hope at least the rest of the album does not have any issues.
  3. This is another favourite cue of mine from the score: I really love how the track opens with an eerie sense of mystery, wonder, and uncertainty, brimming with awe but just unsettling enough to know that something is not right. It then rises to a dramatic and sinister crescendo, followed by silence to underscore the impact of the giant meteor falling into the ocean. The action music that follows, with the thundering percussion and powerful horns, is among the finest JNH has ever written IMO.
  4. Wow, I can't believe it! This was the very first movie I ever watched in the theatre when I was 11 and I absolutely adore the score! One of the very first ones that turned me into a film score fan and a JNH fan. Back in the day I searched so hard for the OST CD in music stores here in India, but was unsuccessful until my aunt got it for me from the US. Just a few weeks back, I revisited the movie and score and was thinking how awesome it would be if the score received an official complete release. It will be great to finally have all those great unreleased cues like Playing Monster, Aladar Meets The Herd, and Enough For Everyone officially on CD.
  5. Totally forgot this one - Tooth and Claw from King Kong (JNH).
  6. Here are some more favourites of mine that immediately come to mind: The Battle - Gladiator (Hans Zimmer) Raptors/Stand Together - Dinosaur (James Newton Howard) Sewer Attack - The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 (James Newton Howard) The Sinking - Titanic (James Horner) Final Battle - Van Helsing (Alan Silvestri) Sanctuary! - Hunchback of Notre Dame (Alan Menken) Storybook Ending - Enchanted (Alan Menken) Battle on the Tower - Beauty and the Beast (Alan Menken) His World - Kochadaiiyaan (A.R. Rahman) Final Battle - Kochadaiiyaan (A.R. Rahman) Ababeel - Muhammad: The Messenger of God (A.R. Rahman) Parade Attack (Film Version) - Spider-Man (Danny Elfman) Train/Appreciation - Spider-Man 2 (Danny Elfman) Sab Than Pursues the Princess - John Carter (Michael Giacchino) Into Battle - Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader (David Arnold) Battle with the Forces of Evil - Sleeping Beauty (George Bruns/Tchaikovsky)
  7. Huge fan of Toy Story franchise here. Andrew Stanton is a fantastic director and has been a writer on the previous Toy Story films. Looking forward to the movie and hoping to see Randy Newman back again too.
  8. Eagerly looking forward to this one. But hoping Netflix won't cut short the score portion of the album again like they did with Thelma the Unicorn.
  9. It's difficult to narrow down the list to just 10, but I'll try. These are not necessarily the "best" out there, but the ones that have played important roles in my film score journey and I keep revisiting most frequently. 1. The Lion King (Hans Zimmer) 2. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Howard Shore) 3. Jurassic Park (John Williams) 4. Dinosaur (James Newton Howard) 5. Titanic (James Horner) 6. Spider-Man (Danny Elfman) 7. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (Hans Zimmer) (the complete version, not the OST) 8. Enthiran (A.R. Rahman) 9. Up (Michael Giacchino) 10. Aladdin (Alan Menken)
  10. An EP containing score tracks from the critically acclaimed film Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life has been released today. It's just 15 minutes long but the music is really exquisite. I really like this track in particular:
  11. Many happy returns of the day, respected maestro Williams. Stay blessed and be happy always.
  12. The full score album for Ponniyin Selvan has been released. It is an excellent blend of orchestral/choral material with classical Indian music. Looking forward to @Thor's opinion on the album. 😊
  13. The first album for A.R. Rahman's score for Mani Ratnam's epic film duology Ponniyin Selvan (PS 1 and 2) has been released today. I haven't seen the films yet, but really liked what's been released so far. Just listen to that opening orchestral action cue. 😎
  14. Dead Man's Chest is actually my #2 most favourite PoTC score, right behind At World's End. The official release is rather short and has a really poor selection of cues from the film. The full film score has great variations of all the themes and some really cool action/dramatic material.
