Calling it "Variation 15" is a bit brazen in my book, but I'll forgive Benjamin Wallfisch and Hans Zimmer because I like Elgar's Enigma Variations as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUpvEgJEn94

As others have already mentioned, the Hans Zimmer live tour is awesome. I just watched it last night and it really does show off a good range of songs by him. I was surprised by just how much drums and electric guitar were being used. Its hard to say what I liked best, but the Pirates songs really worked well together as one continuous piece. It was interesting hearing the gladiator music first and then seeing its influence in some of his later songs.

Just rewatched Logan and the score really stands out as unusual and cool in a few places, while still seeming to be appropriate for the scenes.

I'll have to get it on blu-ray or something because I stupidly missed a theatrical run of it in my city, but it got me wondering why the Hannibal score is so overlooked now. I think it's among the best work Zimmer has done and one of the very few scores where adding dialogue from the film works really well (aside from maybe David Julyan's Memento but those were at the beginning and end of the tracks). The only downside in Hannibal though is throwing in dialogue at the end of Vide Cor Meum which brings it down a bit but otherwise it's a really good score. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R-ydPmXFsY

Has anyone been listening to the Thor: Ragnarok soundtrack? It's legit one of my recent favorites. Mothersbaugh's synth work in it is exquisite ComposerGuy posted:I just found out the upcoming Thor movie is scored by loving Mark Mothersbaugh. Ah ha, there we go. Yeah it's good AF

I think it was a excellent match for the movie, with it not being as serious as the other Marvel movies. I also liked the musical callbacks to the other movies (Dr. Strange and the Thor main theme). It also had a very fitting bonus track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7s7MvRNmzI

Not saying they couldn't have used Zeppelin or the Immigrant Song, just the actual execution of it was awful.

Oscar score nominations are out Dunkirk (Hans Zimmer) Phantom Thread (Jonny Greenwood) The Shape of Water (Alexandre Desplat) Star Wars: The Last Jedi (John Williams) Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri(Carter Burwell) I am glad Zimmer got a nod for Dunkirk. I think his Bladerunner score was phenomenal as well.

The Last Jedi's nomination stuns me, because it feels like 90 percent of it, at least, is warmed-over material from The Force Awakens and then reprises of stuff from the original trilogy.

I'd replace Dunkirk with Blade Runner 2049. Zimmer is often a bore for my ears, but his send up of Vangelis is loving jaw dropping. 2049 Flight to LAPD As for some recommendations: I'm going to run out of synonyms for "great" before the list is done. Hajime Mizoguchi's score for the film Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade is all around fantastic. Pride The vocal reprise of Pride in Grace Omega is beautiful as well, before slamming into a wicked electric guitar riff. You all probably know Joe Hisaishi's music is brilliant, but having recently rewatched Princess Mononoke, it cannot be overstated just how phenomenal the music is. The Legend of Ashitaka The Journey to the West Main Theme Paul Leonard Morgan's DREDD soundtrack is pretty dope Mega City One Junkie XL isn't the best composer in the world, but he does mix his action cues really well and he's real good when firing on all cylinders. 300 Rise of an Empire: Marathon Fury Road: Brothers in Arms Alexandre Desplat's Godzilla soundtrack was surprisingly old school and I appreciated it's weirdness a lot. Godzilla! Last Shot Godzilla's Victory God, listening to the Godzilla tracks makes me wish Rogue One had kept Desplat instead of going with Giacchino's mediocre at best soundtrack. Though the guys who should really be given a shot at composing for a Star Wars movie are Mark Griskey and Jesse Harlin.

I don't think the score actually exists. According to this article, the Rogue One reshoots caused a delay which led to a scheduling conflict for Desplat, since he had also signed on to do the Valerian soundtrack. So he probably didn't get the chance to even start composing because of the setbacks. He also didn't want to work under John Williams's shadow again, since he apparently felt a lot of pressure doing Deathly Hallows and needing to reintegrate elements of Williams's Harry Potter scores into the film. The Rogue One production must have been an absolute clusterfuck.

Did anyone else hate the Three Billboards soundtrack? It's just so overbearing and obvious. Arcsquad12 posted:I don't think the score actually exists.

Valerian's soundtrack almost saved that movie, so I'm glad he picked that one. Here's a good track: Valerian's Armor.

Digging up ancient stuff from this thread, I found a James Horner score that doesn't make me want to rip my ears off for being a complete ripoff of his earlier work. Mask of Zorro! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA9NbU_R-y4 Watching a bunch of 90s films, Horner also has a few other recycled tracks and motifs that don't get brought up as much. One of them is the "danger whistle" which plays a lot in Zorro and in Legends of the Fall.

Zorro, Legends of the Fall, and Braveheart were a great run of scores in a few years. It was Bicentennial Man where he reached the rehash point of no return. I wouldn't mind Zimmer getting an Oscar for Dunkirk because some of his best scores, like Pirates: At World's End get ignored because they are attached to crap movies and Dunkirk's score pretty much WAS that movie.
