  1. Doing a little Dino der Laurentiis Matinee here:

    King Kong (1976) - John Barry (album version)
    Flash Gordon (1980) - Queen
    DUNE (1984) - Toto / Eno (album version)
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.
  2. NP: DIVE: Starpath - Nick Borrego

    Interesting game soundtrack featuring synth ambiance and more propulsive rhythms mixed with more organic sounds (relatively speaking) such as electric guitar. I can imagine myself flying through space in my spaceship.

  3. NP: The Alienist - Rupert Gregson-Williams

    I like the sound of this and some of the instrumentation choices and soundscapes are very memorable. But I am struggling to feel much from it. Definitely a conflicting score.

  4. NP: The Mercy - Jóhann Jóhannsson

    Not really doing much for me on an album, though there is the occasional track that stands out. It sounds as though it would work better on screen with the composer's music being a support to the on-screen goings on rather than driving the story forward.

  5. OUTLANDER SEASON 3 - Bear McCreary

    Of all the TV music McCreary has done, this is probably my favorite series. Good stuff.
  6. NP: The Shape of Water (2017) - Alexandre Desplat

    Outstanding. Lots of French sensibilities, subtle instrumentation and superb musical story telling.

  7. NP: Justice League (2017) - Denny Elfman

    Elfman in full throttle super hero mode. What a treat!
    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    You've just listened to two amazingly disappointing scores in a row.
    I am extremely serious.
  9. I agree with Thor. Cats and dogs, living together!
    The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else.
  10. You're both legendarily contrarian though. So perhaps less of a surprise.
  11. Everyone saying that those three long tracks in Red Sparrow would make a great album seem to be overlooking the fact that the "Overture" and "End Titles" are about 90% identical, it would seem?

    NP: NOSTALGIA (Laurent Eyquem)

    I've been waiting for the brilliant Eyquem of WINNIE MANDELA and COPPERHEAD to return, and this -- while sounding nothing at all like them -- is certainly it. Wonderful score.

    Very disappointing.

  14. NP: Tomb Raider (2001) - Graeme Revell

    For whatever reason I never listened to that score. It doesn't seem too bad. Nothing extraordinary though.

    It's OK. Certainly better than the new one -- and I say that as a longtime JXL defender and fan.

    I wasn’t expecting anything more than fun, and was hoping for it to be in the same range as 300: Rise of an Empire. What did you think of that one, and how does it compare?

    300 is much, much better. TOMB RAIDER had one or two decent tracks (the calm ones), the rest is just noise with basically NO dynamic range.

    Damn.

    Ok, that’s settled then, I will now listen to Greenwood’s latest first.

    Of course, it would make sense if the only JXL score I dislike in YEARS is the one people here like. :D

    Guess I have to hope for ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL instead. It's almost been a tradition with at least one JXL score on my Top 10 each year.

    NP: FIFTY SHADES FREED (Danny Elfman)

    Unremarkable -- like the two previous scores (except for David Buckley's gorgeous "Bliss" cue from the first one).

    Because his other scores had so much dynamic range? Pretty sure Mad Max's waveform is a big rectangle.

    Quite the contrary, there's a lot of things going on even in the more massive MAD MAX tracks -- like that recurrent descending line. It has a forward momentum that TOMB RAIDER lacks, a heavy metal philosophy. It also lacks MAD MAX's sheer ingenuity. There's doing loudness as a philosophy, and as a poor consequence.

    A Wrinkle in Time - Ramin Djawadi

    It is incredibly bland and laden with cliches. There isn't anything really of true interest. Not even as a mood score is it good. The new-ageish parts of the score just aren't compelling.

    Pacific Rim is probably Djawadi's best work I think (aside from Game of Thrones's highlights - I also liked Warcraft's peaks, particularly the cue Honor which is wonderfully moody), but it is still not very good and still filled with cliches.

    I am sure Jason Moran would have supplied something much more imaginative and better had he gotten the gig.

    Rating: 1.5 stars out of 5.

    Tomb Raider - Tom Holkenborg

    Dreadful. The weakest score of the year together with Ludwig Göransson's Death Wish.

    Rating: 1 star out of 5.

    NP: DRYADS - GIRLS DON'T CRY (Marius Christiansen)

    One of my favourite Norwegian scores in 2015 -- both songs and score. Sadly unreleased.
