Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Up by Michael Giacchino, again I've never heard this one until now (saw the film when it was out and don't remember it at all) I...really, really like this. In fact, I kind of love it. I've never LOVED a Giacchino score until now. (Which is to say, I like Jurassic World, Inside Out and his Apes music) I had no idea Giacchino could be this good. Even the sound quality/mix is MUCH better than usual for him! I'm gonna keep listening to this. I'm sorry. I assume I'm in the minority here. But this is the first Giacchino score I've heard that I really strongly resonate with. John and The Illustrious Jerry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 This just blew me the f*** away. Those organ motifs are incredibly emotive, capturing somehow the essence of the spectral unknown while evoking images of the majestic and downright frightening deep expanse of space. That, or my imagination just plays hell with me sometimes. Zimmer's finest ever work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Don't bother, Koray. You're only giving the cynics what they want. I think Up has an awesome score, and it's from a composer I usually merely 'like', and my opinion is what matters. >D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Gave up on CD releases and ended up buying digital releases for Black Panther and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 - listened to both today. Guardians 2 has a lot of music that is pretty much the same as the first, although there are a few nicer emotional moments, especially in the last four tracks. Black Panther is a delight, although some of the quieter moments were hard to catch in my earbuds here at work. Have Silvestri's Ready Player One in my mailbox, but I'll probably wait to listen to that one until I see the movie, hopefully this weekend.

Incanus 5,716 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Damnation Alley by Jerry Goldsmith: Jerrald sure knew his stuff when it comes to driving intense action and tension building through music. The newly performed synthesizers add a weird but appropriate layer of sound to the whole affair but the grim angular rhythms and doom-laden main theme keep this score on the road through some rough and violent musical terrain, exemplified by the buzzing and snarling setpiece Don't Bug Me. A great companion to the similarly styled Capricorn One. Minority Report by John Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was this close to posting yesterday that Panther will probably get a vinyl release and never a CD. I wish I had, I'd have looked like a seer. https://www.soundtrack.net/album/black-panther-score-vinyl-edition/ And it's a shortened tracklist to fit on one disc! Which is not a terrible thing actually, I like the OST a lot but it's definitely too long as a listening experience. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,374 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Yasunori Mitsuda, ACE, Kenji Hiramatsu, and Manami Kiyota - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 SOOOOOOOO good Alan Silvestri - The Avengers Wanted to remind myself of what his first Avengers score sounded like because I hadn't listened to it in a while. I liked it more than I had in the past, probably because I've gotten quite used his his main theme in the years since. The digital OST album is shorter than the physical CD and was a great length that didn't outstay its welcome. Highlight tracks: Tunnel Chase, Helicarrier, Assault, Assemble , I Got A Ride, The Avengers. John Williams - The Last Jedi First time listening to the OST program in a while. At first I was kinda up in my head about what music the OST album was skipping past, but quickly I got into his album presentation and really just enjoyed the whole thing. Really good score here with a good ending (end of the end credits). Can't wait for IX. Lena Raine - Celeste Best score of 2018 still! Nobuo Uematsu - Final Fantasy VI Good stuff, main theme is great and much of the incidental music too, but every track isn't a winner like with FFIV. The album is too long and outstays its welcome a bit, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
