crocodile 7,978 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Ant-Man by Christophe Beck. It's my first full listen of the album (I've only heard it in the film). OK, BloodBoal, it is fun. light and there are themes. All of which makes it stand out in the MCU. It's a fun album but I wish there was more depth to the writing, it's all seems to be bit superficial and skin deep. The highlight of the score is the cue in which Beck puts his theme next to Henry Jackman's Falcon theme and Silvestri's Avengers' theme. That, and the comical heist music.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, come on!To mirror the incredible depth of MCU!They should hire Howard Shore to score every single thing in this franchise. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperbole, of course. The first two Hobbit scores are fine, indeed. (BOTFA might be, too, but who can tell through that awful mix?) I'll still take SUN though. And History of Violence, which I like to call "More Music From The Two Towers and Return of the King".

Marian Schedenig 8,154 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 How is Waxman's Rebecca? I remeber when I watched the film a while ago for the first time that the music was rather melodramatic in the typical Golden Age style.The suite is awsome: It's been a long time since I last saw the film, but I'm not sure if there's anything relevant missing from the suite vs the full score.

I remeber when I watched the film a while ago for the first time that the music was rather melodramatic in the typical Golden Age style.It's a very lovely score but if that type of melodrama bothers you, or you thought it seemed too self-aware in the movie, then you may want to pass. Personally, as someone unfamiliar with the movie, I really enjoyed it as an isolated musical listening experience. The suite just doesn't cut it for me, there's way too much music.I heartily recommend you to check out Christopher Gunning's version for the British 1997 film, which was recently released by the Caldera Records.I'll check it out.

Red 75 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 James Newton Howard's The VillageI always dig into this score during this time of year.

Dixon Hill 4,232 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Batman Begins - Hans Zimmer & James Newton HowardTruly excellent score that plays great on album, as Zimmer productions often do. It's unfair how overshadowed this one is by the other two, as it's particularly elegant sonically and thematically. It's so, so stupid how callously ignored these are by so many film music fans. But that's another and oft-had conversation so I'll stop myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a true even-split collaboration between Zimmer and Howard that diminished as the series went on until it just became Zimmer. While I like Zimmer and think these are some of his best works Begins having the most of Howard's influence means I kind of gravitate toward it by default.

But that's another and oft-had conversation so I'll stop myself.Agreed. It's a great album experience. I wish they'd kept the tone of Begins for the second two scores. The actual Batman material just sort of disappears, which I understand from a narrative perspective, but it makes for a musical disappointment. The later scores (especially TDK) have their moments, but neither can hold a candle to Batman Begins, especially the album presentations.Batman Begins - Hans Zimmer & James Newton HowardTruly excellent score that plays great on album, as Zimmer productions often do.

You can tell they both worked on some of the tracks, "Tadarida" for instance, whereas their contributions were pretty much delineated in TDK, and then JNH wasn't even around for TDKR.

Incanus 5,713 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Black Beauty by Danny Elfman: Easily in the top half of my Elfman top 10. This is music like I hadn't quite heard from Elfman before yet it still contains the melancholy undercurrent that is often so attractive in his music. The whole atmosphere, the small chamber orchestra styled ensemble, the brilliant set of themes and the lovely orchestrations make this irresitable experience with an English/Celtic lyrical fairytale quality to it.

Too long to sit through in one sitting, but really great stuff sprinkled throughout. Unfortunately, not much of it is available on YouTube, but I found this suite that is a fairly good representation of all the thematic ideas.
