Arpy 4,145 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 My favourite track from the albums so far is 'Inside the Case'. A long flowing cue that has the right hints of the 'magical feeling' of the early Potter scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,479 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I listened to this score yesterday and I liked it Gotta try to play it loudly in the car sometime soon to really take it in.

leeallen01 2,139 Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 I assume so. Almost 30 minutes of extra music to look forward to as well. I'm very curious to hear the bonus track; 'A Man and His Beasts' because it's over 8 minutes long, and judging by the title, we will likely get a fuller developed version of Newt's theme. The dream would be that one of the bonus tracks is a concert version of his Main Theme. Unlikely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,479 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 There doesn't seem to be much time in modern film making for composers to be able to write and record album-only concert suites. We only got so many for Force Awakens because JW loves writing them, and Kathleen Kennedy and JJ Abrams love him and his music and allocated a huge budget for him to record lots of music - and his schedule was open enough that he could work on the same film for over half a year. crumbs and Bilbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,139 Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Indeed. JNH says though that his preferred method of scoring is to write a suite of his ideas initially for the director, based on his impressions of the script etc, so my glimmer of hope lies in that fact, and that maybe he decided to stick a suite on the score. Hell, I'll gladly take not even a full suite, just a 3 or 4 minute chunk of the 8 minute bonus track being dedicated to one theme for example. And maybe because of his 7 months of work, and this Score being a very long album (at 100 minutes), he may have been tempted. But yeah, I'm not expecting it at all.

Actually JNH has a track record of recording suspiciouslylong suites with themes never properly turning up in the score (Airbender, Maleficent) or at least being substantial reworkings. I guess that are his preferred first ideas. So this release is not really new ground for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,758 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I've started paying more detailed attention to this on Spotify, and I'm liking Newt's theme a bit more now. I generally like JNH's suites, with the exception of Lady in the Water, which has never been released (assuming that the original report of him having recorded one is correct). Edit - I'm halfway through the album now and rather enjoying it. It's a score that needs high volume in a quiet place, and while doing nothing else at the same time.

As for 'Fantastic Beasts', it is not high art but entertaining as old school fantasy score heavily leaning on other works. The big ?? is why Howard didn't edit a good album out of it. As it is, you need to edit the hell out of it to make the cues...the really blah ones even have such promising titles as 'Credence Hands out Leaflets' (thinking of TPM UE).

Looking forward to seeing this, picking up the CD, and reading the screenplay on Friday. I'm loving that track too. In fact, track 13 onwards is working really well for me. I certainly like it enough that I preordered the deluxe set last night. I don't think the thematic material overall is his strongest - the 'mystery' theme (tracks 2 and 3) is the only one where I really feel he's onto something. Newt's theme and the one in Thunderbird feel a little formulaic. It's inspired me to go back and listen again to Maleficent, which I didn't entirely 'get' first time round. A valuable source of classic JNH in a minefield of modern synth rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igger6 894 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 The statement in the cue title is addressed to Tina, so there should be a comma before her name to separate her grammatically from the rest of the sentence, since she's the addressee, not a part of the action. Unless, of course, I'm wrong, and Tina-ing is something you can do in the 1920s Wizarding World, in which case that cue is about somebody telling somebody who's in the process of Tina-ing that somebody else is listening to him as he Tinas. (Just like, "He's listening to you sing," or "He's listening to you snore.") Sorry, this is my job. B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
