crocodile 7,983 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug by Howard Shore. While I do enjoy all three scores, this is the only one that feels like it's adding anything to this world. This middle score like Shore actually actively engaged in the story. It establishes new territories or different aspects and has its own identity. I find it to be the most interesting of the albums and also the most comprehensive one. It is also the best film out of the three. Karol KK and Not Mr. Big 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karol Mirkwood has every right to be dark (and of course the Spiders!). I was refering to the very moody opening music for Beorn where even his house and animal companions are painted in very subdued colours and surprisingly earthy tones of the Wood Elven musical world that seem to cling to such dark colorations. Then again a lot of dark stuff is happening in this film all the time. PJ really went for the peril beyond the Misty Mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Kockroach 2,343 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Gremlins 2 by Jerry Goldsmith: My other other favorite score by my very favorite composer. I deliberately rarely put on this one, just to make the blissful melodic goofiness all the more 'special'. I don't know why Haviland Morris' character gets her own theme that's expressed at least twice despite her being a minor character, but I just think that's so neat, man. Also love Christopher Lee's theme that's played mournfully during his death by electric gremlin. Endurance by John Powell: Holy fishpaste, Powell was this awesome this early in the game?

KK 3,307 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 You Were Never Really Here by Jonny Greenwood Good stuff. Leans more towards his Radiohead roots, with some of his usual textural distortions. It's a nice short album with some good highlights ("Tree Strings" is Greenwood's "Kangaru"), but not as good and fully realized as his PTA scores.

publicist 4,643 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Greenwood's usual kopfmusik mixed with retro pop - sometimes you think it's a lighter riff on Tron:Legacy - and it's certainly rewarding (it goes without saying that regular fm fans will run away in horror). But it's good to see one of the few current film composers who can think outside the box, though i admit that he's an acquired taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
