Looks interesting:
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
SKYLINE
Music Composed by
Matthew Margeson
In the sci-fi thriller Skyline, strange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame where an extraterrestrial force threatens to swallow the entire human population off the face of the Earth.
Skyline is directed and produced by the Brothers Strause (Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem), whose company Hydraulx has provided visual effects for Avatar, Iron Man 2, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and 300.
Newcomer Matthew Margeson contributes an epic orchestral score.
Universal Pictures opens SKYLINE on over 3500 screens on November 12.
Varèse Sarabande Catalog #: 302 067 057 2
Release Date: 11/16/10

brian tyler had a schedule conflict so he was unable to score this film, so he was replaced by matthew margeson who has worked with brain on many films over the years. from what i hear he is still producing the film and overlooking the music, not sure though!

Another score with orchestra doubled with synth. How imaginative....[rolls eyes]
I think it would be a novel approach to have synth lines exist on their own and having the acoustic lines play against them rather than mixed up in the great homogeneous goo we've been subjected to for the past decade...or longer.
Think of what Herrmann did with The Day the Earth Stood Still or even Goldsmith's use of synths in First Blood where they we're distinct and separate from the orchestra...those aren't bad scores by any stretch.

Based on the samples this is no ID4. Oh well, why should we expect anything remotely thematic in this day and time?
no.

Played the first half of the album on Spotify the other day. Wasn't that impressed by it; certainly not enough to actually buy it.

Art & Tracklist are up at Varese:
James, where do you find large artwork like this? The site seems only to have 300x300 now, much smaller than on their previous site. Thanks for posting this.
