publicist 4,643 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Also: Like with many Horners, first you are a bit put off by how hard it wants to please (it's Desplat's beautiful mind) but in the end you might give in because aside from film music no composer would dare to offer such streamlined pleasures. Desplat has a similar talent to feel out what the film is and needs. If you have seen 'Imitation Game' which is one of those fuzzy laboured biographies you immediately know why Desplat's main theme yearns in such grand fashion.

I had Williams autograph the OST. MINORITY REPORT has the best "chasing a pair of eye-balls down a corridor all the way to a drain cover" scene, I have ever watched.

Is it also the only one? But I too have a soft spot for the score. I feel it is very much unified in tone while it contains a wide range of stylistic elements from JW scores new and old.

Armageddon comes close, because the songs are better than the score, but the score is not crummy. I'd look for something else like this, but that's an exception. A song album better than the score.

Incanus 5,716 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Hellboy (Varese release) by Marco Beltrami: Definitely among Beltrami's very best music,this score is a fun musical comic book hero romp from start to finish with nice gothic Lovecraftian horror vibes to it. The score is chock-full of themes and Beltrami does a good job integrating all of them throughout in interesting ways. There has been a chronological boot floating around for years but it is great to finally get this score officially in complete form and in good sound quality. P.S. For those chronological order obsessed folks around here the new Varese set seems to have two cue out of order (perhaps for listening purposes), Horny and It Will Be Quick from disc 1 should actually follow Tango With Milk And Cookies And Small Rocks from disc 2 in chronological order. The Terminal by John Williams: A light little bon-bon from the Maestro, full of melodies and light quirky orchestrations with a slightly Eastern European twist. Interestingly some of the melodic material remind me of the better chipper orchestral passages from the 1980's synth-laden Heartbeeps. The jaunty comedic main theme with its challenging clarinet solos is simply delightful and the jazzy love theme has very old school Hollywood romance to it, fully explored in the concert arrangement Jazz Autographs.

Incanus 5,716 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 How to Train Your Dragon 2 by John Powell: There is such emotional abandon in this score it is hard not to get swept along. It's big, bold, colorful and exciting and I feel has such genuine heart to it. Plus I find Powell's "Vaughan Williams on steroids" approach absolutely delightful but here he has actually improved upon the first score and made the elements more balanced and less dense. crocodile and Taikomochi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
