Turns out some of Giacchino's Jurassic World tracks are online and his typical cringeworthy pun-names aside, they definitely sound very Jurassic Park. "As The Jurassic World Turns" & "Untitled Track" Williams shining strongly through and I can't not enjoy the note-perfect, if uptempo version of the original theme in there after Davis butchered it for JP3. "Nine to Survival Job" Really liking this. Reminds me a lot of Williams' excellent score for Hook. "The Park is Closed" Short but sweet. Giacchino always does good piano.

Yeah, it's the one I've listened to the most. It's too bad it's so short but if the rest of the score matches that it'll be something else. Giacchino's piano stuff always impresses, I think it's in the second Star Trek score where there's an absolutely stellar piano piece. E: This is the one, it comes out of nowhere on the album and it's such an awesome surprise too. Stare-Out fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Jun 8, 2015 |

Yeah, I was really underwhelmed by his score on Star Trek 2009 but so much of his stuff for Into Darkness was incredible.

If the movie opens with a variation of the "gently caress yes it's time to watch Jurassic Park!" music from my childhood, I'll be there.

The Jurassic World soundtrack is out, and my first impressions so far are that it's up there with Giacchino's best and overall it's a huge love letter to the JP soundtrack. Loads of great Williams-y touches throughout.

Loads of great Williams-y touches throughout. I definitely think it's his best, on first listen. He has such a reverence for Williams' work and he makes the references and "Williams-y" touches seem organic and part of his own work, not just "oh hey here's Williams out of nowhere" standouts (for me) include: Nine to Survival Job The Park is Closed and I love the rework of Willams' work on the ending of Costa Rican Standoff

I'd definitely put it far behind both Tomorrowland and Jupiter Ascending, both of which were big, original, and full of great new thematic material. I wonder how much of the positive reaction to the Jurassic World score so far is just nostalgia or familiarity with the old themes from Williams?

The orchestrations aren't as interesting as up or the Incredibles, and the (new) themes are nowhere near any of his best.

In fairness, he had Gordon Goodwin orchestrating a solid chunk of Incredibles, which, yeah. Goodwin is flat amazing as a Jazz composer/arranger.

I'm probably high on nostalgia After listening to Jurassic World more over the last couple of days, I still don't think it's nearly as good as some of Giacchino's other recent work. But he has done a great job not only of reusing and reworking Williams' stuff from Jurassic Park, but emulating Williams styles in the score overall. Especially on a couple of tracks that sound like they may include in-movle source music (I haven't seen JW yet, so I'm just guessing) - like "It's A Small Jurassic World" and "The Brockway Monorail" ("There's nothing on earth like a genuine, bona fide, electrified six-car monorail!"), I think I could have been convinced that Williams himself composed these tracks in the mid-80s. They just have that signature classic Williams sound/feel.

I rewatched Conan The Barbarian (the original) recently and it confirmed my opinion once again that it has the best drat soundtrack of all time. If I pretended Blade Runner didn't exist, I could not think of any other movie soundtrack that would come even close to that majestic masterpiece. (I also watched the remake on the weekend and already forgot half of what even happened in it) FeastForCows fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Jun 16, 2015 |

Conan the Barbarian is like a really long music video, I don't think we're going to see a movie like it again. The score is arguably its most important element.

I have that soundtrack on my phone, it is so good. RIP Basil. I hope the new Conan that Arnold is working on is better than Destroyer at least, but I wonder what they're doing for the soundtrack.

Anvil of Crom when that brass counterpoint plays under the strings tho e: it tickles me that the film soundtrack is so poorly performed and recorded yet it totally fits the film. When I wanna listen to Conan though I go for the rerecorded version.
