The score is chock-full of themes and Beltrami does a good job integrating all of them throughout in interesting ways. There has been a chronological boot floating around for years but it is great to finally get this score officially in complete form and in good sound quality. 43 minutes ago, Incanus said: Hellboy (Deluxe Edition) by Marco Beltrami You like HELLBOY, don't you?

Although the march is the most famous piece from the film, the score is brimming with themes and motifs and really energetic and fun musical sequences and gags.

Incanus 5,714 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Assassin's Creed Syndicate by Austin Wintory: Another one of those scores that stay in steady rotation. Wintory's music defies expectations and succeeds in creating a veritable world of its own. It's elegant, classically tinged, performed by a chamber sized (mostly strings, percussion and woodwinds with odd brass instrument occasionally thrown into the mix) ensemble of great musicians and takes the music of the period as its starting point and takes it from there. The lean orchestral sound was entirely deliberate, the dance-like grace of assassins in the game Wintory's inspiration and the score is full of salon-worthy murderous ballets with apt names like Danza Alla Daggers, The Assassin Two-Step, A Ballet of Blades and Waltzing on Rooftops and Cobblestones. All is anchored in typical Wintory style in a simple yet effective main theme which goes through a good bit of manipulation, retaining fragile poignancy throughout, a surprisingly intimate musical centre for so violent a subject. The original thematic material is supplemented by quotations from traditional hymns, literary allusions to Purcell's Dido and Aeneas through the use of its libretto for selected passages fitting the storyline. More over an eclectic series of bar/vaudeville songs full of acerbic wit make it a very varied but coherent listening experience. As I said, it is a well-conceived musical world, which in Wintory's case comes as no surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Stanley & Iris by John Williams: A nice small scale dramatic score from the Maestro in the gentle and muted pastoral Americana mode from his late 80's/early 90's branching out period, when he was clearly seeking a way out of being typecasted as "Mr. Sturm und Drang" after such success with big blockbuster franchises. The composer of course, rather than doing outlandish experiments with what he calls "synthesized sound sources" or going entirely avant garde, would continue to employ mostly symphonic palette but often in smaller scale. Flute, piano and trumpet are offered solo parts among the chamber-sized ensemble consisting of mostly strings and woodwinds which lends a suitably intimate feel to this short but sweet album. Williams crafts a couple of earthy and unassuming main melodies that intertwine during the score and there is mostly a warm sunny vernal sheen to the whole affair with occasional more dramatic gesture but this score stays mostly lyrical and on the quiet side. It is a smaller effort from the composer sure, but it makes for a nice relaxing listening experience with a terrific Williams-esque End Title that sums up the whole thing rather perfectly.
