Will give this one a try later on. Karol If Desplat had referenced Ifukube’s themes, his score would have been perfect instead of good. But I was more impressed with Desplat’s effort than I have been with 🐻 effort. A rather generic sound sound mixed with Ifukube’s themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 For everyone that agrees that there's never enough cheesy monster music, here's 'The Swarm', a prime example. The main motif, a fierce, characteristically jerky idea (if Goldsmith had composed Star Wars, his imperial motif probably would have been along those lines) and the derived-from-it heroic fanfare do great ping-pong and it's capped off with one of his best sport game fanfares...though it's applied here to a solemn Michael Caine speech about...? (i couldn't resist and linked it below). Kasey Kockroach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, how am I supposed to know whether or not this is, in fact, a dramatic moment? In fact there should have been a big choir in every scored scene to remind us of the drama. And it should have been loud! All kidding aside Psycho is a textbook example of an effective film scoring that delves psychologically deeply into the main characters' minds, their motives and mental states. And it is also memorable music in its own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Thanks, Intrada. Amusing mix of Broughton, Broadway, Neal Hefti and generally what was 90's kiddie movie music (less emphasis on West Side Story this time). Desplat has this style mesh pat down, though it's of course all a bit slight (a far cry from Horner's through-composed cues). But it get's a B for sheer effort. crocodile and The Illustrious Jerry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Creed II by Ludwig Göransson I've been absolutely hooked on this for the last few weeks, and I've assembled a great 40 minute or so playlist that is great for underscoring a great many things, as I've found out. From working out to mowing the lawn, it screams power and energy! Some absolutely delicious writing from Goransson, whose upcoming projects I've shared my enthusiasm about based on the potential I see in scores such as this. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,984 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 He wrote one of the finest themes of this decade. It has many components and it develops! Terrific stuff. God of War. I'm not a biggest fan of Bear. He's talented and versatile but his sensibilities are rarely in tune with mine. Having said that, this is kind of neat. Now this is what Game of Thrones should have sounded like. I just received an email my Godzilla: King of the Monsters has arrived. Will check it out once I'm back home.

KK 3,307 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Godzilla: King of Monsters by Bear McCreary Is it finally over? Thank God. Not that it's necessarily bad, but I clearly don't have the patience or tolerance for this kind of "wall-of-sound" blockbuster scoring anymore...and this was only with pub's abridged playlist, mind you. Some fun colours and clever Ifukube callbacks aside, it's just more of the same inane ostinato driven, big-drum pounding noise isn't it? At the end of the day, too much of it just comes across as anonymous support material/sound design for VFX. I'm glad some people are enjoying it though. There is more craftsmanship and production value here than your average RC score, sure. But is it really any better as music? McCreary just seems to lack a very interesting musical vision or voice, something I find myself feeling with a lot of his work. In that sense, it pales in comparison Desplat's leaner and bluntly ferocious work. Kasey Kockroach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Go for some 90's melodic scoring then, Newman/Isham style. It's quite cute and surprisingly lyrical (which seems to come back in vague recently). Agree about Godzilla, certainly... KK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
