David Coscina 4 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Lady in Water is the best score I've heard this summer- hands down. Superbly orchestrated, beautiful themes, and so many excellent stylistic Goldsmithian devices without simply being a rip-off. Howard has pulled off another outstanding score for Shyamalan. I wish he could do more of these quality scores for other directors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,756 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I echo APBez - the CD isn't released until the 18th (not until August 14th over here but as if that's going to stop me) so are you judging this purely on the clips at Soundtrack.net?I can't wait for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Coscina 4 Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 You've heard more than the online preview clips then? The entire OST release?APBezyes. And it's fantastic. I don't want to elaborate too much as I'm reviewing this score but I did want to let everyone know that it's the best score I've heard thus far this year (followed closely by John Powell's stellar work on X3 and United 93).

Ollie 1,068 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I was somewhat suprised at how much of Signs sounded like Herrmann and Goldsmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Coscina 4 Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 Trust me guys, this sounds like vintage JN Howard with a smattering of Goldsmith and Horner for good measure. I do think it sounds original and more importantly, really plain great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,068 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Not without pulling the CD out and giving it a listen. It's been awhile since I've listened to Signs but there was something that remided me of "The Light" from Poltegeist. Or maybe it was "The Mutant" from Total Recall.I'll have to listen to it and see.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Some of us must be going into Jerry Goldsmith withdrawl because we seem to be looking for his stylistic influences in current scores by other composers to the point of insanity!
