BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 This is good stuff. Best Giacchino in aggggeess. But I can't tell who's the genius here: Nami or Giacchino?

But I can't tell who's the genius here: Nami or Giacchino? I mean the first few tracks are only credited to Giacchino. He seems to have created the main thematic material. But Nami has taken said material and done the bulk (quantity) of the work and has done an outstanding job with it. So I guess it depends on who's job you think is harder? They both have done great here I think. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two favourites from MOHU I can recommend: Panzer Blockade and Beneath The City. I just love the whimsical way that Beneath The City starts. But truthfully, both the original MOH and MOHU are great soundtracks with a lot of highlights and it's nice to hear him back in that mode, even if it's just for new themes.

Anthony 572 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 What older MOH themes have you found are included? I've only listened up to "Dive Dive Dive!" so far but I've already heard: MOH: Underground Main Theme MOH Main Theme Nazi theme The “stalking” motif The U-boat theme (making a welcome return from it’s vacation into Lost). “World’s Worst Landing” gets awfully close to “Securing The Codebook” from MOH1 but doesn’t go all the way. I don’t know what it represents, but there’s a theme from several cues in MOH 1 (the start of “Approaching Colditz Castle”) which appears in “Armoured Chess” And there very well could be more in the final 7 tracks.

Jay 37,359 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 I think the only problem this album has is a lack of an ending. Everytime the "Stingers" track starts up I'm like "huh, I'm at the end already?" There's no "big finish" I wonder if moving the opening track to be the closing track instead, and just starting with Juliette's Theme, would be a nice alternative playlist...

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Does anyone else think the cover art is quite bizarre? It looks like it's about the Apollo missions; rather than in any way related to WWII. Quick search online led me to this one though: Who wants to put some appropriate "Music by" titles on there? Should be easy enough. But I don't quite trust myself to get the style right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
