You can sample a generous suite at http://www.cinematicsound.net/ep-25-petes-dragon-the-light-between-oceans-sausage-party-more-soundtracks/ Jump to 103:49 -Erik-    Posted:   Dec 7, 2016 - 9:36 AM     By:   Valiant65   (Member) Swallows & Amazons by Ilan Eshkeri Their Finest by Rachel Portman L'Odysee by Alexandre Desplat Planet Earth 2 by Jacob Shea & Jasha Klebe Living In the Age of Airplanes by James Horner Fantastic Beasts by James Newton Howard    Posted:   Dec 7, 2016 - 10:18 AM     By:   The CinemaScope Cat   (Member) Only 2 underscores impressed me in 2016: Abel Korseniowski Nocturnal Animals Mica Levi Jackie    Posted:   Dec 7, 2016 - 5:23 PM     By:   MKRUltra   (Member) Mica Levi's Jackie, closely followed by Danny Bensi & Saunder Jurriaans's Christine, Jo Yeong-wook's The Handmaiden, and Alberto Iglesias's Julieta.    Posted:   Dec 7, 2016 - 5:28 PM     By:   joan hue   (Member) I think I saw this in 2016, not 2015. For me it is Fernando Velazques' Crimson Peak.    Posted:   Dec 7, 2016 - 6:24 PM     By:   Timothy J. Phlaps   (Member) GHOSTBUSTERS is getting the most play from me.    Posted:   Dec 10, 2016 - 10:34 AM     By:   Broughtfan   (Member) Very much like "Hidden Figures" and "The Girl On The Train" and looking forward to hearing "Arrival" and "Passengers" (the big, traditional orchestral scores just don't seem to do it for me that much anymore).    Posted:   Dec 11, 2016 - 2:46 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) (the big, traditional orchestral scores just don't seem to do it for me that much anymore). Same here, as my previous picks suggest.    Posted:   Dec 11, 2016 - 4:31 AM     By:   DavidCoscina   (Member) As far as how music interacts with its film counterpart I really like Shapiro's The Invitation. Also my favourite film of 2016 as well.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2016 - 3:18 PM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) From what I've heard, I certainly echo the Jungle Book as my favorite of the year. I am surprised that Bruce didn't find it worked well in the film. Though I see a few suggestions from Erik here that I will gladly explore later. As usual, these are for films I've never heard of. Game score, it is too early for me to say if Final Fantasy XV is in the running but The Last Guardian is a surprising late release that has a completely gorgeous score. I wouldn't have been able to tell you it was for a game listening to it because it sounds like a film score with all the emotional complexity I expect.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2016 - 4:05 PM     By:   Erik Woods   (Member) I wouldn't have been able to tell you it was for a game listening to it because it sounds like a film score with all the emotional complexity I expect. Most game scores since the late 90's have been written like this. -Erik-    Posted:   Dec 12, 2016 - 4:37 PM     By:   hyperdanny   (Member) Velazquez's A monster calls The Burwell repeatedly cited is really very good. Dr.Strange was good with the movie, but I forgot everything on the way to the parking lot. Disappointment of the year: Allied.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2016 - 5:29 PM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) I wouldn't have been able to tell you it was for a game listening to it because it sounds like a film score with all the emotional complexity I expect. Most game scores since the late 90's have been written like this. -Erik- Very much disagree. I've been listening to game scores since SNES and only a handful of scores have fallen into this category.    Posted:   Dec 13, 2016 - 6:56 AM     By:   Erik Woods   (Member) Very much disagree. I've been listening to game scores since SNES and only a handful of scores have fallen into this category. Huh? I don't really need to start listing scores, do I? I'll do it anyway. All of Giacchino and Lennertz's Medal of Honor scores, Debney and Kaska's Lair, Lennie Moore's Outcast, Civilization: Beyond Earth, Hokoyama's Afrika, Araujo's Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, the music of Chris Huelsbeck, Fracture by Tilton and Seiter, Soule's Guild Wars and The Elder Scrolls, all the World of Warcraft scores, Final Fantasy, Starcraft, Deriviére's Remember Me, etc. Those are just a tiny example of all the exemplary video game music that has been written since the 90's that can easily compete with the "emotional complexity" of a film score. Hell, this year alone we have The Last Guardian, Overwatch, Abzu, The Banner Saga II, ReCore, World of Warcraft: Legion, the unused Fable Legends, etc. -Erik-    Posted:   Dec 13, 2016 - 8:05 AM     By:   Yavar Moradi   (Member) Mercenaries and Black by Tilton as well. Yavar    Posted:   Dec 13, 2016 - 9:34 AM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) So I said emotional complexity and you list a bunch of Trailer Music style bombast. Very different things. Sure Outcast and Afrika are there but I said only a handful and I stand by it. Nobody would ever mistake any Final Fantasy soundtracks for a film score. Maybe if you pulled out the complex orchestration from FFXIII from the rest of it, but certainly not the full score. Don't even get me started on the generally poor orchestrations in Blizzard soundtracks from all the various ones you listed. I'm not going to continue this further because there are more interesting things to discuss relevant to this thread. The Last Guardian is more emotionally complex than any of the ones you listed, and also much more complex orchestration.    Posted:   Dec 13, 2016 - 11:01 AM     By:   Erik Woods   (Member) So I said emotional complexity and you list a bunch of Trailer Music style bombast. Completely and utterly false. Sure Outcast and Afrika are there but I said only a handful and I stand by it. Uh huh. Don't even get me started on the generally poor orchestrations in Blizzard soundtracks from all the various ones you listed. I don't think anyone can take you seriously after a ridiculous comment like that. The Last Guardian is more emotionally complex than any of the ones you listed, and also much more complex orchestration. Righto! -Erik-    Posted:   Dec 13, 2016 - 11:11 AM     By:   Moviedrone   (Member) JACKIE is fantastic, as is HIGH-RISE and THE NEON DEMON. MOONLIGHT was very good, and KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS. I'm trying to put my top ten together now but I don't know if I'll be able to get away without being called a snob.    Posted:   Dec 13, 2016 - 11:16 AM     By:   Ado   (Member) JACKIE is fantastic, as is HIGH-RISE and THE NEON DEMON. MOONLIGHT was very good, and KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS. I'm trying to put my top ten together now but I don't know if I'll be able to get away without being called a snob. Right about Kubo, Marianelli composed a very good score here, sweet and dramatic and occasionally sad. The film and the score are off the map of most people. But both are very good. It did get a Globe nomination for best animated, so we will see if it gets some more attention.    Posted:   Dec 13, 2016 - 11:26 AM     By:   Moviedrone   (Member) Oh and I loved STAR TREK BEYOND as a score but not as an album (although obviously the DE should fix that).     General Discussion: Best Original Score Of 2016?    << < 1 2 3  >   Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
