The score is, indeed, great. It's a good, not great score. Another pop-ish but sympathetic Pemberton that reveals a resourceful musical mind. It's a Netflix movie, so the ragtag style is a given, but Pemberton is one of the few who can still give such stuff style and personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 You Were Never Really Here by Jonny Greenwood ---- A moody (and muddy) synth scape. Not for the faint of heart. Airlines by Alexandre Desplat ---- What a fantastic release, entirely new arrangements to me. Very impressed with the concert piece! Will return to this very soon I expect. Evolution by John Powell City Slickers by Marc Shaiman ---- Had a lot of fun with this, first time! Fruitvale Station by Ludwig Goransson The Secret Garden by Dario Marianelli ---- In one ear and out the other, pleasant but empty. Random Acts of Flyness by Emile Mosseri ---- Cannot wait for Kajillionaire later this month. and Strange Angel: Season One by Daniel Hart Recommended for those interested in Hart's progression as a composer. Certainly extended his voice in my estimations, well-developed orchestral textures and occasional Britell-like trappings (think Succession but less showy). Among other things, a comfortably concise 29 minute release. Give it a go! https://open.spotify.com/album/2Ai91ptsT4jPSt3gDh48WE?si=jyGMDEfWT22tEJPmGPED4w Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I've been revisiting Marianelli's score. And while it lacks a stronger central idea, there's actually a lot of lovely Debussy-esque colour to it. It's definitely a grower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom Guernsey 2,287 Posted September 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2020 Night Crossing (Jerry Goldsmith) - I always forget how great this score is and how outright enjoyable it is. A great mix of Capricorn One and bold, tuneful 80s Jerry orchestral loveliness (synth free, I think). Always amused that it contains that that oscillating little string motif that appears in pretty much every bit of James Horner scoring in the 80s, plus the descending brass/woodwind motif... I always thought they original Hornerisms, but no... It's all over his Star Trek scores in particular. Night Crossing has extra special meaning as it was that score which I had signed when I met his Jerryness after an event at the London Film Festival (I think?) at the Museum of the Moving Image where he talked about The Edge with Lee Tamahori. I seem to recall Jerry having a dig about about the temp tracking, notably the opening titles which was tracked with The Last of the Mohicans. Pleasing that his actual main theme isn't really anything like Trevor Jones' memorable theme. I just wish I'd had enough foresight to tell Lee Tamahori to stay away from Bond films (Die Another Die... ugh). blondheim, Romão, publicist and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Guernsey 2,287 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Asterix at the Olympic Games (Frédéric Talgorn) - Matthew Sweet played a track from this score on Sound of Cinema on Radio 3 as part of his Olympians episode and I think it was my favourite track from the entire show.

Tom Guernsey 2,287 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 The Sea Wolf (Korngold) - Re-recording of the complete score conducted by Rumon Gamba. I seemed to remember this being more dark and mysterious, but as with most Korngold it's suitably plush, although considerably more restrained than his most famous works. The Orphanage (Fernando Velázquez) - Still surprised this got a re-recording given it's not that old, but an enjoyably spooky horror score. One I need to listen to again to appreciate more I think. The Edge (Jerry Goldsmith) - My comments about meeting Jerry in London years ago reminded me to give this a spin. The main theme is great and the out of phase turboprop aircraft trombone motif are both memorable although this one doesn't quite excite me as much as other scores of the period. Astérix aux Jeux Olympiques (Frédéric Talgorn) - Another great Talgorn score well worth digging out (and 7Digital have it for sale for a fiver). Tuneful, exciting, fun, lovely stuff. Jojo Rabbit (Michael Giacchino) - Having only recently seen the film I realised I never got the score. It suffers somewhat from having too many short tracks and some forgettable comedy cues, but it's a nice change from his OTT bombast. His Empire of the Sun-esque scoring of the end of the film (surely a deliberate illusion) is particularly lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Juicy George Antheil score to a terrible Stanley Kramer *epic*. It's full of bolero and soaring choruses, just a lot of ravishing orchestral fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Kajillionaire by Emile Mosseri A lovely main theme, developed over the course of a concise album (>40 minutes) through an ensemble of woodwinds, sweet synths and vocal dressings. Just wonderful how Mosseri sounds nothing like any other composer working today (or ever, for that matter). His musical voice has an opportunity to expand here, and it sounds very much like him. This will surely be one of my favourites looking back on this year. Highly recommended for a taste of a pleasant little new score!

Jay 37,373 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Revo - Bravely Default After hearing some music on a podcast as well as the hosts raving about the score, I checked this out and instantly fell in love with it, and now it's one of my favorite scores of all time Manaka Kataoka, Yasuaki Iwata, Soshi Abe, and Hajime Wakai - The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild I've been listening to this a lot since starting the game back up this summer. It's a lot of music to take in, so I made a playlist of just the relaxing music, and a playlist of just the action/battle music, and often listen to those John Williams - Hook (Recording Sessions leak) I love all the clean endings and openings we'd never heard otherwise, and the great sound quality compared to the old boots. Plus that climax of The End of Hook (and the entire score) is legendary. Too bad "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" is only the backing organ and not the main melody line though, and there's so much stuff still missing Lalo Schifrin - Earth Star Voyager I got sick of waiting for a score release to ever happen so I ripped all the music out of the youtube video and have been listening to that. Even covered with dialogue and sound effects, this is just a fantastic score and I hope Intrada can rescue some day while I'm alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to go with Morgan/Stromberg for that. I usually prefer the Gamba, because it's mostly long enough, and, more importantly, doesn't have Russian singers.

However, I do like their recording of The Sea Hawk, although I think the more plush Chandos recording works better with Korngold's sound. The more lean Kojian Sea Hawk on Varese is pretty great too.

I like the M&S version, too, but as you said, Gamba's sound is more fitting, and the Russian vocals are really hard to take. And you're right re the Kojian, but given the alternates we have these days, it's become a bit middle of the road for me.

Jay 37,373 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 John Williams - The Post (OST + FYC combo edit) I like this score! It's only I rarely listen to, but when the mood strikes me it really hits the spot! I especially like the synthy opening track, the super fun source music, and then how it slowly builds up to the exciting climax. The finale and end credits track borders on outstaying it's welcome, but when the whole score is so short it's hard to really complain about that. Sometimes it's really nice to get a whole story told in a nice short album. Elmer & Peter Bernstein - Wild Wild West (Varese Deluxe Edition) Ooof, this didn't do it for me. The main theme is GREAT, no problem there, and there are some fun and exciting moments throughout. But it seems like no care was put into structuring all this music into a listenable album at all. Why are there polkas and waltzes in the main program instead in the bonus tracks? It really grinds the narrative to a hault and then the album never really recovers. Too bad.
