Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Great review! Why do so many people here dislike Clemmensen and Filmtracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,999 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 He seems to be obsessed with this concept that film music collector won't be able to tolerate music with slightly less melody and/or which contains more than a tiny hint of dissonance. While there is some point to his ratings in terms of how they reflect the general "easiness" of listening, his recommendations are often also quite lazy recommendations. He doesn't seem to encourage people to think outside of the box, the experiment, to challenge they tastes a bit, to grow and learn.

Pity.KarolIndeed - it's a very misplaced and judgemental approach.It's fine as a reviewer if you don't like a particular genre or sound, but if you're actually putting your opinions into recommendations, you have to cater for those who do like those styles.Even though he does mention those aspects in his 'buy/avoid' sections, it often comes across as a 'warning', that this score may be theme-free.

Richard Penna 3,679 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 He doesn't like Zimmer, and anything experimental (a huge chunk of Newman's material). And the idea that an orchestral score is wrong for some types of films seems foreign to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the idea that an orchestral score is wrong for some types of films seems foreign to him.That is not true. Christian has been and continues to be very positive about much of Zimmer's earlier scores. The problems he has with him is the style of HZ's music ~post-2000 and especially the post-Pirates and Batman scores and Zimmer's methodology, whether it is the "one-size-fits-all" approach of scoring different types of films with common-denominator scores or the "scoring by committee" approach as seen/heard most recently in TASM2.And which Newman are we talking about here?
