Hook's emotional highlights like Remembering Childhood and Farewell to Neverland are to my mind superior in every way to the BFG. The later score simply can't reach those beautiful emotionally resonant heights.

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I have only heard Spider-Man in the game, but the main theme is terribly generic. If it was to compare to Horner or Elfman's entries, it would need to be competitive in that way, and it's not even close. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,000 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Elfman's score would have been perfect in this game. I've been listening to both OST's quite a lot recently. These scores have aged very well. They are definitely a pinnacle of Elfman's modern action writing: Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewya 360 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Solaris - Cliff Martinez Fantastic, the best electronic film score of the last 20+ years. I love this score.

I love this score. That honour clearly belongs to Tron:Legacy. Martinez's exercises in static-ness are mostly good background listens. Legrand's flowering score for a neglectable 1970 Shepperton version of 'Wuthering Heights' is on par with Williams' Bronte reading of 'Jane Eyre', both featuring prominent, opulently romantic main themes for their female protagonists' fateful activities in the forbidding Yorkshire moors. While Legrand makes a more forceful use of his London Studio Orchestra brass section, which Williams mostly eschewed, strings and flutes dominate, with guitar, harpsichord and violin solos strengthening the connection of both works. Sadly hard to find, it's another very good Legrand, who did rarely misstep in his film music (not counting 'Never Say never Again') and should satisfy friends of sophisticated romanticism.

John 2,032 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 The Grand Budapest Hotel, by Alexandre Desplat So much fun!

crocodile 8,000 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 It's getting really chilly and autumny so it's time for... The Silence of the Lambs.

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Casper Since the main titles weren't included on the album (presumably for copyright reasons), it is a little weird that the album just kind of...drops you in! A lot of it's of course temp-tracked with Eflman-isms, but I confess to finding Horner's take on that style more engaging by simple (and subjective of course) virtue of him being a better writer than Elfman (and having better orchestrations). It's a minor fluffy score, but Horner's kiddie movie music is always easy listening even at its weakest. publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hmmm, haven't posted my score listens in a long while for some reason, so let's catch up Mark Mancina - Twister (LLL) Super fun. I don't even mind that it's shorter than most action/adventure scores I listen to - everything I need is here! Yasunori Mitsuda & Nobuo Uematsu - Front Mission Gun Hazard Hadn't listened in a while, probably because of all the Xenoblade II listens, but when I returned to it I found I loved it as much as ever Danny Elfman - Mission: Impossible (Complete) Glorious. Michael Giacchino - Spider-man:Homecoming Still find this to be one of his best efforts of recent years that never gets old with repeated listens. Eric Serra - The Fifth Element Still a favorite of mine since my teenage years, still hope for a 2CD complete edition one day. I do prefer the fan edits made from iso score rips over the OST presentation, though it's hard to argue that the OST doesn't cover all the highlights. I just like more time in this musical world I guess. Brian Tyler - Crazy Rich Asians MEH. Don't see what all the hype is all about at all. James Newton Howard - Waterworld (Complete) Still a wonderful action/adventure/fantasy score! John Barry - Dances with Wolves (LLL) Lovely LOVELY score, but I find it to be so emotionally draining that I rarely listen to it!
