    me too, at least I think I did. Maybe a drive-in theater? I was quite young. I just remember not getting past the idea I was watching the guy from The Waltons

    I've been listening to the score all week, and it's easily the best score of the year!

    The opening few cues blur the lines between music and sound effects. I don't like it when scores do this, but what Sato is doing is more musical than trying to completely mimic a sound effect. I can hear basses sounding like air raid sirens and/or Godzilla's roar/growl. A there's something electronic as well that sounds like an atomic charge before Godzilla breathes hell's fire over everything!  

    The score is perfectly mixed with the rest of the atmospherics so that Sato isn't confusing sound effects/sound design and music. The "bending" of certain sounds is cool to hear as well. This is shit lesser composers try to do and fail at miserably.

    The cue "Divine" is Goldenthalesque goodness!  Again, the low end in this recording is beautiful!!!! Clean, deep and powerful! I can't recall anyone else but Zimmer who uses basses this prominently in a film score. I love hearing them at the beginning of "Elegy" as well. 

    There's also stuff in here that reminds me of the unsettling and conflicting emotions of calm and horror in Bobby Krlic's brilliant score to MIDSOMMAR. The cue "Pain" is heartbreaking in it's simplicity. And John Adams' influences are felt in the brilliant cue "Resolution". Actually, nothing can really prepare your emotions for the one/two punch of "Pain" and "Resolution."  Holy F__k was all that came to mind while I was listening to them, so hold tight. It's a wallop! 

    The only downside are the irresponsibly placed Godzilla suites, which absolutely kills the tone of the rest of the score. They are completely unnecessary and should really be deleted from the play list. If you want a true and proper first experience with this score, skip those suites.  Actually, never listen to them. They aren't needed! They are far too jaunty and whimsical for this score. This score is dark, bleak, foreboding, and deeply emotional.  It's a serious, dramatic score unlike anything you've ever heard in the Godzilla film. If you come to this score expecting to hear an Ifukube clone, then you'll be greatly disappointed!

    Naoki Sato has always been one of my favorites (BATTLESHIP YAMATO, HEROIC AGE, MASQURADE HOTEL. MORIBITO: GUARDIAN OF THE SPIRIT,PRICELESS, etc) and his quality hasn't diminished. This is easily one of his best scores, and that's saying a lot because he has so many incredible, timeless scores attached to his name. I hope you all enjoy this score as much as I do and I cannot wait to hear this score in context when the film comes out!

    I’ve given up hope on ever seeing a proper complete set of IJ or the Prequels, never mind the sequels. At the pace they are going I’ll be too old to collect and long dead by the time the sequels are done.

    I got to see Giacchino's Marvel short film "Werewolf by Night" performed at the Kennedy Center with the NSO last night.  It was a really fun concert, a Halloween/Spooky movie themed one.  He was there, along with Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige, and they introduced many of the pieces.  Giacchino was very funny and personable, and my son enjoyed it all.
    The first half of the concert was various scary/fun movie pieces.
    1) Hans Salter's "The Incredible Shrinking Man"- the Jazzy/pop version of the music.
    2) Tchaikovsky's music used in the “Phantom of the Opera” Unmasking Scene (live to picture)
    3) Franz Waxman's Creation of the Female Monster from Bride of Frankenstein (short version of it)
    4) Bernard Herrmann's 3 part suite from Psycho.  Audience laughed at the shower music (that always annoys me)
    5) Giacchino's suite from Batman (which I like the middle section of, but the repeating beginning and end are just loud and dull. Giacchino, has a tendancy to write repeating phrases that just get louder and louder, without much variation.
    6) Giacchino's suite from Super 8 (live to some of his old films he made as a kid.  Fun, but distracting from the music, which is one of my favorite's of his.
    7) After the intermission, they did his score to Werewolf by Night.  It was in color, but the film is so dark, much of it was hard to make out.  They played the marvel special presentation theme, and the horror version of the Marvel them, which I love.  The guitar version on the soundtrack of the main theme was sadly not played.  The audience cheered and clapped at the huge brass outbursts/ jump scares.
    8) for an encore, they played the theme from Coco.  Fun, but I would have preferred the Incredibles or Ratatouille instead:)
     
    Everything was performed very well, the place was packed with people of all ages (some in costume).
    I've been a Giacchino fan since I first got his Medal of Honor soundtrack (my very first purchase on Amazon years ago).
     
    side note:  The gentleman next to me recorded the entire concert from his bookbag.  So it's out there somewhere!
