Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I wonder why he changed the cue title from “Romance in the Clouds” to that. That’s a sweeter title! Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bofur01 245 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Just about to go to the pub, so don't have time to write a full review. I didn't notice too many new themes besides the ones in the Suite, but I think this is at least as good as Solo, and I loved Solo. Most of tracks 11-16 contain glorious choral parts, quite reminiscent of Hubris. Love it Smaug The Iron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,694 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Wow, the first half of The Hidden World (track 13) is unlike anything I've heard lately! I think the first track starts off a little slow - certainly not the explosive beginning the first two scores had. But that ending....

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Just finished my first full listen and I'm about to buy it on Amazon. What a wonderful score! The 'love' theme from HTTYD2 returns a couple of times, and other than that the Berk theme and Test Drive theme appear a few times, but the score is absolutely dominated by the new Furies' love theme an whatever you call the theme in the first part of the suite. The Hidden World theme is actually very sparsely used. It's littered with partial quotes of themes and counterpoints, and the fact that I was frequently 'peeking' at where a statement might go next speaks to the memorability of Powell's themes. He continues to be an absolute master of memorable long-form themes. My one complaint: they should've left the song off and replaced it with the suite.

PrayodiBA 517 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 The score is really great no doubt, i think i find it better than HTTYD2 ( in most parts at least) But i will talk about the good later, but on first listen, i found some bads, and even a surprising one, considering this is a Powell score. The grimmel/Evil theme is not that good. It is similar to Giacchino's Owen theme in Jurassic Park. But the most annoying part is how DISJOINTED this score is in some parts. Armada Battle is badly edited. Stitching one theme to another. Its both frustating and exhausting. Thats because there are little to none smooth transitions to bridge between themes. Its like Powell doesnt give a damn to this track and Powell is really good at narrative. The hidden world track, its gorgeous from the beginning but when it transitions into the theme, i found the transition a bit off, idk the note or anything. It ruins the experience. Yes they are all annoying, honestly, and really hamper down the whole experience. But this is still a masterpiece from Powell Anyone has similar issues?

Its like Powell doesnt give a damn to this track and Powell is really good at narrative. Armada Battle is absolutely all over the place (primarily in the second half), stylistically and thematically. I can imagine the scene is loud, chaotic, jumping around, and so Powell has to make his music jump in the same fashion. It's the weakest of his final battle pieces for this franchise - it doesn't feel like it has a structure at all. But that's the one weak point of the score for me.

Arpy 4,145 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 It's the final battle scene, it works well in the film. It's probably why I found listening to the score with the film more rewarding than picking it apart without seeing where the music accompanies the visuals.

Popular Post PrayodiBA 517 Posted February 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2019 Themes Breakdown Having seen the movie, i try to breakdown which music belongs to Now, Mr. Powell's given us the clue, so it's gonna be easy: First of all, i think this is what made John Powell score a John Powell score; I love how he structurizes the music into Themes, Tunes, Motif and Riff. That way, it enables a lot of new music, but at the same time, still narratively cohesive. Now, here we go: Furies in Love Tune Well, of course: (0:36 onward) Grimmel Tune First heard in this track. 1:09 - 1:33 & 1:56 onwards Hidden World Theme First heard in this track. A nice foreshadowing ( this what makes Powell is the king of narrative in film music). 3:00-3-28 Another major foreshadowing, now with choir ala TSFH: Of course, before it explodes into its main statement Heroes Tune(s) Look how Powell emphasize on the music being more than one: The first tune, First heard in this track, with truly Powellian statement: 3:27-3:47 The second tune, is in this track, at 1:24-1:50 Look how it refers again to the previous tune: Village Hymn I love this rendition, with solo viola. 2:30-2:45 The main statement of course: And lets not forget, the ending ( perfectly suited for the spoiler scene ) Fate Tune I love this, with solo flute ala The Lion King. 00:00-00:58 and this 00:36-1:17 Light Fury Motif Nice foreshadowing. 3:52-3:58 again: and to this regal statement: 0:00-0:23 Fate Riff 1:01-1:28 I love this 3:14-3:37 ( that high note though) Spoiler Riff Indicated by the emoji given on his post, i can assume that this is Mating Riff. 0:40-1-20 March of The Warlords 2:50-3:08 Taikomochi, Bofur01, Locrius and 7 others 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Nice summary @PrayodiBA! I think you've got them pinned down pretty well. I'm not sure what's missing from the OST, I seem to remember a few small moments here and there. This is one of the best scores I've heard in a while, surely one of my favourite Powell scores! Can't wait to get my hands on the CD, I don't think I've fallen in love with a score like this since TFA. PrayodiBA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 The Village theme is probably my favourite alongside the Furies theme. In fact, Powell chose my favourite three themes for the suite which is reallly cool. Probably explais why Ive played it dozens of times. This feels rather unique in terms of composer-created hype for a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
