Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Inside Out Album needs trimming (like all of Giacchino's other scores) but otherwise, this is easily Giacchino's best score this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,012 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Die Hard 2: Die Harder by Michael Kamen (and co-orchestrated by Don Davis). It's been a while. The buildup might be slow, as with all the scores in this series, but once it reaching second part (last 50 minutes), it is action music heaven. Still my favourite in this franchise, love its rusted swagger!Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Obsession (Tadlow Re-recording) by Bernard Herrmann: I am not quite obsessed with this yet but it is growing on me. As some have said it is a sort of companion piece to Vertigo and they are of course quite right although Herrmann approached this story containing some of the same elements with more melodramatic tone from the onset and injected it with very single minded musical structure which further enhances the obsession and sense of something being eerily off-kilter, a blurring of times and people. In his typical fashion eschewing long or catchy melodies he constructs his dramaturgy on simple repeated phrases and musical cells that add both mystery and unease to the listening experience but there are also electrifying individual moments throughout where the sturm-und-drang of the combines forces of choir, a church organ and orchestra thunder with fanatic glee that are just pure Herrmann and terrific film music. It is not all doom and portentous gloom however and the composer conjures up some sweet and lyrical gossamer passages of ethereal beauty in the way only he could do it where he weds even the most joyous or romantic phrases with hints of ghostly foreboding. The prominent wordless female chorus is one of the strongest elements of the score that set it apart from much of Herrmann's work to my ears. This combined with the gothic soundscapes of the organ does create a marvellously cathedral-like effect that embodies at times sheer horror while at others emotional elation of the grandest kind. This new resounding Tadlow re-recording is a must for all Herrmann fanatics but I would not hesitate recommending this to anyone with even a passing interest in the composer or his style.

nightscape94 965 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The Book ThiefI listened to this once, I believe all the way through, when it first came out. Left no impression on me, which is almost impossible for a Williams score.I gave it another go just now and I'm only on track 4, "Ilsa's Library", and already I'm having the opposite reaction. This is an extremely pleasant and lovely score. No idea what type of mood I was in for me to be so indifferent toward it initially, but I feel like I've been missing out.
