I like Beck's music.
I'm not a completist, but I buy when I like what I hear, which is often.
I saw the CD in Asda the other day, but it didn't even include one of those annoying single track score suites.
Maybe if the film is a hit, someone will release a score CD?
It opens in Europe in October and the USA in November.
Anyone heard any of it yet? I know some dudes here (like Cedric) see previews weeks in advance.

It's like talking to myself around here!!

Anyway. Just finished listening to this score..ALL 28 minutes worth!!
It's Beck in that broad, fantasy/adventure orchestral mode similar to FROZEN, PERCY JACKSON and THE MUPPETS scores.
It's pleasant enough and ticks all the boxes, but is a tad generic.
There's the pulse-pounding action licks, mickey-mousing, ethereal choir and tinkly sad bits.
No main theme has stuck as yet and Beck is obviously just joining the dots between the gazillion songs that were slathered all over the film (which I ain't seen).
This would have been a Varese CD back in the day.

I'm a huge Beck fan but sad to say this one is an utter bore.

Here's what I wrote about it in a November 6 post at another forum:

I cringed, prepared for the worst. I wasn't expecting good score for this film, and a lot of Beck's recent work has either left me indfferent or disappointed. But I was plesantly surprised by this orchestral score with professional tenderness and warmth.

I'll need to listen to more to make a better judgement on it.
