Popular Post Peter Greenhill 3 Posted January 7 Popular Post Share Posted January 7 I am a huge admirer of Powell's score for United 93. I know some, including Powell originally thought this film didn't need a score but this is a wonderful creation for the saddest of subjects. Genuine tension and sadness is generated throughout. Powell's son, Oliver is used to provide vocals which give a haunting quality to the score. For me, one of Powell's very best....possibly his best.

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I find that a difficult score, with Powell handling a very delicate subject respectfully. Phone Calls is just heartbreaking, particularly towards the end when it's just the vocals left and I think of all the kids who lost parents that day. I actually deleted this from my playlist the other week as it's not something I get any enjoyment from. That may be related to the fact that I visited the 9/11 memorial/museum in NYC in October and found it a very moving experience. It's the only museum I've ever been in where everyone walks round in a respectful silence, instead of fascination or enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrayodiBA 517 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 So apparently, Mike Knobloch, NBC Universal’s President of Music, just tagged John Powell on his Insta post for Wicked the movie: https://www.instagram.com/p/C3OilCyP9jd/?igsh=MWRncmdyd3ZmN2pnOQ== ^^ is this a mistake/typo, or Powell will indeed deliver music for this movie? Because it’ll be out of nowhere assignment if this is true. (But do also notice how Mike Blonoch postioned John Powell tag in a group along with the original Wicked broadway musical director Stephen Oremus and award-winning music producer Greg Wells) What do you guys think?

If Powell is involved it's be for some score cues in between the songs ^^ Yes, if Powell does indeed work on this, I guess he will only do the underscore between song numbers. I can imagine the credit will be like Original Music & Lyric by Stephen Schwartz, Score by John Powell. But what’s the point anyway. Schwartz’s original music and songs are already the most iconing thing about the original broadway show, any of Powell’s inventive input in the movie will clearly be overshadowed by it. But this will be an interesting assignement nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finale from X-Men: The Last Stand - see if you can get the unedited version with full choir.

Unique way to start 😄 2. This track is also a gem. Odd he didn’t put it in the score album, as this track is perhaps the highlight of Rio 2 3. How about “Z to the Rescue”? I consider that the highlight of the ost. Too long? 4-8. Agree! 9. I can’t connect to any of the Bourne stuff, especially the first one 10. Drumline is such an underrated gem. Agree with that track as well. 11-12. Agree! 13. For me, it’s “Boat Chase” 14. Can’t connect with Powell’s rom com too 15. “Hog Chase” is indeed on the best action piece Powell ever wrote 16-18. Can’t comment. Will check though (But agree with the “To The Roof”, but that’s still “a low bar” for me) 19. “Escape” is a nice summary of Robots. But “Train Station” is also a stand out, love the theme in that track: 20. Can’t comment 21. Agree. The suite album presents it better (IA 2 is such a way inferior work compared to the third movie; i found the themes in IA2 rather clunky) 22. For X3, you need to edit and stitch to make it into one big suite. Dark Phoenix theme, of course, but don’t forget this as well: 23. same, need micro edit for Happy Feet 24. Tangiers! I also ranked this among the best action tracks he ever wrote 25. The theme in this score is lovely, but there is one statement of that theme that needs to be put into the list, here: 26. Agree! 27-28. needs edit for this one. Made even worse by how the OST is split into tiny little tracks 29-33. Agree! 34. I can’t comment on HTTYD. It’s becoming too mainstream to my taste 😄 35-36. Agree. Though for Mars Needs Moms, I highly recommend you to listen to the Recording Session version. There are tons of unreleased gem! ( That version also made me rank MNM very high) 37-39. Agree 40. Hmm, needs stich & edit for this one. 41. For me, well pf course, “Madrid Finale” 42. Solo is too much 🙃 43-48. Agree!

Popular Post PrayodiBA 517 Posted March 15 Popular Post Share Posted March 15 I just want to continue the discussion that Anthony started; Lately I’ve been truly obsessed with the Mars Needs Moms Recording Session album, as it contains a lot of unreleased gems that it’s mind boggle Powell didn’t put it in the official OST I think I remember reading that Powell came very very late into this project. This is a similar case with Pan when he replaced Dario Marianelli at the last minute. And also just like Pan, what he delivered under the time constraints is truly commendable, and in fact, we are here aware that many people have ranked Pan high among Powell’s works, just like Mars Needs Moms The Mars Needs Moms score, for many general listeners, was popular as being HTTYD-ripoff, as one of the theme (at least some section of the theme) is a direct lift from Test Drive theme. But considering the time, I can forgive. Especially as the other themes are really strong and among the best Powell has ever written. Here I want to share some of tracks from the recording sessions that were unreleased in the official OST that really needs to be appreciated. “Bed Remorse”: 03 Bed Remorse.mp3 The sad statement of the main theme here is really lovely, and really plays well with the scene ( I remember I shed a bit of tears during that scene) ”No Time”: 13 No Time.mp3 I always adore how Powell can play around with his already great theme to make it even greater, as heard here ^^ “Capture-Fall” 17 Capture - Fall.mp3 A nice action piece ”Time Running Out” 24 Time Running Out.mp3 The best out of the unreleased. Such such mindboggle Powell didn’t put this track in the OST. Listen to that statement of the theme in the beginning and tell me if that isn’t a glorious Powell moment!

Anthony 572 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Can't say I've listened to MNM much outside of the end titles track. That's a fantastic track, but I didn't feel like any other moments in the score reached that level. I'll give it another try as I really can't remember it well. Question time - Does anybody know why the Robots and Mr. & Mrs. Smith song albums ended up with what sound like DEMO versions of Powell's tracks? (Robot City and Assassin's Tango).

I did a nice 1 hour 10 compilation as I always feel once it starts getting to multiple hours, it starts getting close to just putting on John Powell > shuffle... (not meant as a criticism at all I would add, just a personal thing!). However, I did cheat a bit by putting the HTTYD scores into their own compilation and may do the same for the Ice Age scores too, although harder for them given that many tracks on album run into each other. One score neither of us included was I Am Sam, which I remember being the first time I really took notice of his music (surprising given that's a relatively uncharacteristic effort in terms of being an intimate drama score). It's a lovely, low key score that's quite a way from many of his other scores, but is well worth a listen. I'd have to give it another spin to determine what might be the most representative track/s for inclusion. On the subject of unclean endings (as it were) I actually used the join tracks feature to re-rip Horton which results in an 18 track album. The only downside is that the track lengths are somewhat uneven, as there's a significant number that are around a couple of minutes (which aren't connected to the surrounding tracks), but two of the combination tracks end up being over 9 minutes. I started looking at doing the same for X-Men: The Last Stand and the earlier Ice Age scores, but never got round to it. May have to revisit.

Anthony 572 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Although I wanted to try and keep my playlist having one track from each film, there were a few that are just too damn enjoyable not to include as well, therefore I also added: Divorce from Two Weeks Notice Opening Titles from The Italian Job Main Title from Paycheck The Next Adventure from Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Edit: there's actually a great transition from Assassin's Tango into The Next Adventure in the film edit of the credits) For X-Men, I swapped Finale And End Credits for the film version of Bathroom Titles SUV Chase from Hancock Becoming Michael J. Fox from Still Jamaica from Migration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,466 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Why I love John Powell: here's he using samba percussion for a movie that doesn't have anything to do with Brazilian culture! And that one year before he actually scored a movie set in Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post crocodile 8,017 Posted April 2 Popular Post Share Posted April 2 I went for a walk the other day and put on Call of the Wild. This score gets better every time I listen to it. It's very coherent and has a massive soaring heart. It's almost like a HTTYD but with banjos. I didn't exactly love it when it first came out but that has certainly changed.

Holko 9,527 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 It's the same for me, with every listen I seem to notice a new slightly hidden main theme statement (or just ones I've forgotten since the last listen ) and the obvious ones get better and better.

Tallguy 3,398 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I've never listened to it. It's quite good. The beginning sounds like Firefly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,694 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 It was a firm favourite for me as soon as I heard it, and a wonderful album. A quick skim through the film once suggested to me it was an overachieving score in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Guernsey 2,286 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 So as not to derail the Danny Elfman thread with a “yeah that’s great but I want this” comment, the release of his percussion concerto and the fairly decent rate of concert work output alongside his film work reminded me how much I wish JP would get on and write something else! His Prussian Requiem is such a brilliant work (as is The Prize is Still Mine) it’s a crying shame he’s not been busy writing more. Perhaps inspiration hasn’t struck again but it seems unlikely. I can’t imagine what he might write but hey, concertos are all the rage, why not one of them?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee 257 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I'm 95% sure Powell is one of the two composers Elfman is working with to create a new classical work called 'Trio': three composers writing for solo violin (Sandy Cameron), solo voice and piano.

JNHFan2000 2,966 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Powell has been writing an opera with Gavin Greenaway. Release date on the site of 5 Cat Studios currently has it TBD, but it's been announced for a while, so should be sometime this year or next year. It's called "An Englishman, An Irishman and A Frenchman" https://5catstudios.com/listen Tom Guernsey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
