Tallguy 5,026 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 The Black Hole (1979) - John Barry In honor of being heard at the 2025 Super Bowl Half-Time show. John Barry will never die. There are scores that I always wanted an expansion to or even just to have the original on CD but once I get them they don't get played very often. (We've all been there. Except @Thor of course.) This one has stayed in regular rotation for me for more than 10 years now. I'm sure I've posted it in this thread before. (Checks: Ah. Twice.) And that's not even counting the iTunes release of the original LP. This is one of those scores where my favorite tracks have varied greatly as I age. But Durant is Dead is still a banger. I can't imagine thinking that Moonraker makes this superfluous. Or the other way around. They are both in the same pocket but they complement each other beautifully.

HunterTech 1,397 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Okay, on this recent listen, I will concede that CW probably holds itself better as an overall listen between HJ's two Cap scores. However, I shall forever remain bitter that Jackman halted a rather unique sound in TWS for the sake of appeasing critics that were never gonna think of him as high art. It's neat that he's able to get an orchestra to have as much life as it does here, but it pales in comparison to how utterly bonkers something like his Winter Soldier theme was last time. Especially when I still don't find the themes particularly great here (Zemo's just sucks, straight up), though I think I have a greater appreciation for one that is prominent in the latter half this time. All in all, pleasant, but I'd rather something that takes a swing and partly misses than just merely competent. Tallguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Civil War theme, Zemo themes (two of them) and Cap. Iron Man, Black Panther and Spider-Man also get themes (the last two are more motifs). And there's shades of Winter Soldier. I believe the logic behind the structure is to start off with TWC thriller sound, then move into a superhero action and then finish on operatic tragedy. I think the score does that very well. It's one of my Marvel favourites actually. And the album is perfectly assembled. Karol tomsmoviemadness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loert 2,864 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 One of the most unexpectedly awesome moments in a movie score: As well as the irresistible, soaring chord progression (Rachmaninoff would be proud), some details that I really like: The thumping timpani + bass drum at 1:29 The piccolo spinning out of control from 2:19 like a Catherine wheel The flutter-like repeated horn octaves at 2:41, like a rupture in space The two trumpet swells at 2:58 and 3:02, especially how the second one goes on longer and harder than the first Fun fact: in the original score, the second swell goes to G instead of E. The final version, where it repeats the same pitch, is surely better, as it increases the impact of the violins' F# at 3:08 Tom Guernsey and Edmilson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GerateWohl 5,564 Posted February 15 Popular Post Share Posted February 15 Dead Again - Patrick Doyle In his romantic scores Doyle has a strong tendency to repeat himself and to accompany certain scenes always in the same way, end or vary melodies in the same way. But in his early scores for Brannagh's movies there is some energy and freshness to it. It might have got lost at about Hamlet. Anyway, this one I like a lot. For Doyle's measures a quite playful score. And with about 30 minutes the OST provides probably a perfect spot on the score. So the album never gets boring.

HunterTech 1,397 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 By definition it would be, but it's a very well polished one. It's on Squid. There are supposed to be more tracks that were posted on one of the composer's sites at one time, but the quality would definitely be worse. Oh yeah, there's also the whole symphony that the orchestrator of the score did around the same time as the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the film's length, there's nothing significant missing on the official soundtrack album that I recall. How does the symphony compare to the score/album - and how much is it really a symphony?

HunterTech 1,397 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 It's a very nice extension of the score, even if it definitely sounds more modern in its approach to the classical sound (at least from what I understand of the genre). There are no proper movements, since it compromises solely of individual tracks, so that should probably tell you if it qualifies as a symphony or not. Just about every theme is present, though I am confused by how they've credited it. Only the last three tracks are attributed to the movie's composers (at least on Spotify), yet you do hear the film melodies throughout the whole thing. Eternal even is effectively a rewrite of the end title, so I'm not really sure what to make of any of it. Marian Schedenig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin Copilot 9,203 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I have difficulty integrating new composers into my listening habits. Marco Beltrami... I've been trying for a long time, and in recent years, I think he has finally reached a status that makes him essential. I always felt he was just a composer good only for horror films, but he has diversified in recent years, and it is very welcome. I won't beat around the bush, with this compilation that I just completed, I feel like I'm finally discovering him. I love it!

Naïve Old Fart 11,012 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 RYAN'S DAUGHTER is anything but boring. Yes, it's long, and overwrought, and Mitchum is miscast, but it's still a good film.

Naïve Old Fart 11,012 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 @filmmusic, a couple of more words about RYAN'S DAUGHTER. It's long. The film is approximately 195mins. It's, also, a serious film, that, although a simple tale, ultimately, gets weighed down by its own self-importance. Despite that, it is worth a watch, if only for Freddie Young's superb (and previously-mentioned) cinematography. Honestly, it's one achingly-beautiful shot after another. filmmusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
