I'm sure Giacchino will do a really good job, but I wonder if he's going to be bringing something that's closer to John Williams' work than Desplat would have.

Just when I thought my hype meter for Rogue One couldn't go any higher. :neckbeard:

This should really be in the OP, it's that good. Even though I can't be mad at Mad Max, one of my favorite soundtracks lately (and I would say quite a loving memorable one).

So...


So, I'm a big fan of Abel Korzeniowski overall but particularly his more emotional music. I don't know any other way to describe it other than a hyper emotionality that *almost* borders on being overwrought. Prime examples:

Charms

Come, Gentle Night

Forbidden Love

Song for the Little Sparrow

Is this type of sound uniquely Korzeniowski or are others doing similar things? I feel like I remember reading somewhere that his Polish contemporaries were doing things in this same vein but can't find the article. Maybe it's not that unique and I'm just uninformed but I can't remember hearing anything like the above until I discovered Korzeniowski and if there's more, I'd love to hear it. One of the closest themes I can think of is Desplat's main theme from New Moon which is dialed way down from Korzeniowski.

Desplat is slightly better at building on Williams (Harry Potter) than Giacchino (Jurassic Park). It's basically a lateral move with a tiny step down.

Even if Giacchino didn't use a single cue of Williams, I still think his potential for any Star Wars score is off the charts. The guy can do big, bombastic, thematic, memorable, hummable, space opera scores. You could almost take some of his work from John Carter or Jupiter Ascending and stick it straight into a Star Wars movie already.

Random hope for Rogue One music: I hope the Imperial motif from A New Hope, the Empire's theme before the Imperial March took over in The Empire Strikes Back, makes a return appearance and is worked into a more full theme with variations. Sure, let the Imperial March show up once Vader is on the scene, but for the rest of the movie, the Imperial motif would make much more sense and would tie together with A New Hope really well.

I didn't care much for The Magnificent Seven remake and most of it's score, but I really liked this piece of music. It's the perfect soundtrack for impending Wild West violence.

A preview of Abel Korzeniowski's new score for Nocturnal Animals is out. It's lush and gorgeous Korzeniowski on full display. I can't wait to hear the rest of the score and maybe see the movie.

I swear I listen to more than just Abel's movie/TV scores. :ohdear:

Certainly sounds very Korzeniowski, which is a good thing. Using this opportunity to remind everyone that "A Single Man" is a fantastic film and Korzeniowski's score for it is loving gorgeous:

So, Zimmer's "Inferno". Gotta say I might prefer it to the other two scores. It's considerably more electronic with the odd orchestral bit, particularly with strings repeating the "Sangreal" theme dotted here and there with the typical Zimmer thematic explosion at the end. It's a pretty busy score with tons of variation. The DaVinci Code's score had some nice highlights but for the most part it was forgettable, Angels & Demons had substance but no real core to tie the music together, and this one kind of has it all.

I'd say Inferno is worth a listen since there's enough in it to find something to like.

I've watched a few of his performances on Youtube and it looks like great fun. I really wish he came anywhere near my part of my world so I could go see the show. :(

Man, the Beyond theme is nearly identical to the Into Darkness version but it seems to be in much more of a rush to get to the end which I'm not sure works as well. The Into Darkness version is great. Such a nice and memorable theme.

5. When Has Become Now
6. Jedha Arrival

16. The Master Switch
17. Your Father Would Be Proud
18. Hope
19. Jyn Erso & Hope Suite
20. The Imperial Suite
21. Guardians of the Whills Suite

Originated from here though they have since taken the tracklist down.

Guessing that this means no traditional Star Wars end credits music either, but that's not entirely surprising since they've done away with the crawl. Really curious as what Giacchino does with The Imperial Suite.

Just saw The Magnificent Seven and while the movie was an enjoyable romp, the score almost pissed me off. It was so goddamn generic and didn't go along with the film that devolved into complete western cliched farce (in the best way) towards the end. And that goddamn Horner motif. Even from beyond the grave, I swear. Sucks that he's gone but a part of me is glad I'll never have to watch a movie and hear those horns again.

They released the Westworld soundtrack, by Ramin Djawadi, it's streaming on Spotify if anyone's interested.

I probably wouldn't be nearly as interested if not for the piano covers of Paint it Black and Black Hole Sun, but it's pretty good.

I'm not familiar with any of these and only limitedly with Djawadi's other work, but I'll always remember his weird score to the (honestly great and) very underrated Kevin Costner thriller, "Mr. Brooks"

Also this is pretty much me breaking my own rules for this thread but I'm obsessed with Christopher Tin's "Sogno di Volare" from the Civilization VI soundtrack and since I'm sure there are a lot of people reading this thread who appreciate great classical music, I can't let this go without a mention. It's genuinely a remarkable piece of music:

I'd say that the two albums he put out are pretty fantastic as well. I haven't listened to The Drop That Contained The Sea much yet, but I had Calling All Dawns on repeat for ages.

Here is the Dawn Suite, the 4 songs that close the album.

The final notes may sound familiar because it leads into Baba Yetu, the first song on the album.

Having recently seen Sing Street after I didn't manage to catch it in the cinema I have to say I adore the soundtrack. Given that it is a coming-of-age movie playing in the mid 80's in Ireland the music is clearly inspired by that time period and uses several chart hits of that time but also has quite a few great original songs (if you like that time period music wise) which is pretty much the only reason to post about it here.

Have a track list (original songs highlighted) and a link to a single original song although the rest can be found on youtube as well.

The Rogue One score has grown on me quite a bit as I've listened to it more and learned it better. I think it fits in perfectly with the other films and scores by Williams.

This track, Jyn's theme, stands right up there with Leia's theme from the link above.

My favorite thing about the main motif from Rogue One is that it sounds like it's leading into The Force Theme/Binary Sunset but steps away from it at the last moment. It teases it heavily, saying "very soon... but not yet". It's perfect for a movie that leads directly into A New Hope.
