Jurassic Shark 9,776 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 On 7/19/2018 at 4:44 AM, Disco Stu said: Battle of Neretva - Bernard Herrmann (Stromberg recording) My word I love this score more every time I listen to it. The action/suspense cues are unrelenting and intense. The quieter cues are beautiful. Herrmann’s way with an orchestra in full effect. This era of Stromberg re-recordings is untouchable. I’m now convinced this is top tier Herrmann, up there with his greatest works. A tip for further listening: Practically all highlights of this score were lifted from other, more coherent scores by Herrmann, such as Mysterious Island, Fahrenheit 451, Torn Curtain, and On Dangerous Ground.

publicist 4,636 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Most agitated and interesting Desplat in a while - for the famous story of the Mossad snatching Eichmann and bringing him to trial...at least it's not as static as a lot of his work in that genre often tends to be. His best since 'The Ghost Writer', i'd wager. Channeling nervous 60's Goldsmith (Satan Bug) it's good to see a filmmaker like Paul Weitz not requesting bland anonymous chords.

Will 2,130 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Ferdinand - John Powell* I'll admit - the first time I heard this score I had absolutely no desire to listen again (aside from one specific moment in "Finale"). I seem to remember it striking me as boring Spanish pastiche. It seemed to be missing that sea-faring, swashbuckling sound we got in HTTYD and Pan. After listening again today, I'm a bit mystified at how I could have dismissed the score so easily. While it's not as good as Solo or HTTYD (and maybe even Pan) in my book, it is nonetheless a very well-done score with cool classical influences (mixed, of course, with modern percussion!). The themes are very catchy, if perhaps not as enjoyable melodically as, say, Chewie's theme or the "Test Drive" theme. *More than half of the cues are co-credited to Batu Sener or Anthony Willis, so this was seemingly quite a team effort -- not everything on the album is necessarily by Powell.

Mitth'raw'nuorodo 43 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I'm listening to The Rocketeer right now. What an amazing theme Horner wrote for it. Heroic, yet also old-fashioned at the same time. I love the time period and the intentional cheesiness of the movie. Main Title and Takeoff was just a joy to listen to.
