redishere 697 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Minority Report (of course) and IT: Chapter Two by Benjamin Wallfisch. Not exactly a chill listen, and I guess one could despise Wallfisch's continuous use of loud booms, but I must say I like how the orchestra is sometimes "glitched" and blended with weird synths, drones and creepy noises, and I find the 27 Years theme really beautiful, so it was a nice surprise to hear it more than once in this score. Plus, emotionally speaking, the last three tracks really hit home, at least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this one of the most whimsical things you've ever heard? The beginning part. It's so...isolated and desolate, only Sakamoto's score Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence hits that specific introverted and deep tone, that I can think of in film land.

Edmilson 7,474 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Radio - James Horner One of those small dramas that Horner loved to score. It has its moments, but it comes across like a pale imitation of much better scores from him, like A Beautiful Mind, Bicentennial Man, Deep Impact and The Man Without a Face. Basically, if you heard any of these scores, you already know how Radio sounds. Also, the main theme is not that good, and it repeats A LOT. Despite that, I have the feeling that this score (or at least a few tracks from it) will grow on me with the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Pleasant, if generic, follow-up score by Geoff Zannelli. It's probably about right for this cashgrab sequel. 2 fuckin' hours. Not so much a narrative than a collection of vaguely spherical mood pieces, mostly 'piano' with a few more ominous pieces and at least one pre-existing 20-minute Richter piece. It's also a big cheat: with its lofty titles announcing a big, quasi-religious concept work, all you get is chords and drones, not at all unpleasant but more comparable with tinkly background music for some art installation.

Edmilson 7,474 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Jurassic Park III by Don Davis (bootleg) What Davis does with JW's classic themes not always work, but it's always interesting. Also, his main theme (which I think is for that kid who is William H. Macy's son, I dunno, I haven't watch this crap in years) is pretty great too, like classic adventure family movies from the 90s. But, of course, the best thing about it is the wonderful action music, less dissonant than his Matrix scores, but still very agressive. I wouldn't want to be a brass player on a Don Davis score! Anyway, even though I prefer his Matrix scores, I still think that's a fun score and Davis should be getting more work on high profile blockbusters. But these days he is only hired to score weird japanese stuff, low budget sci-fi crap and to orchestrate Randy Newman's Pixar scores. redishere and John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
