Curious. Sounds very cerebral. I find myself wondering if that dose of Elfman`s Wolfman main title is something the score could use more of. Of course, that might assume that the film doesn`t flow now, in an exciting manner. Don`t know. The listen sounds 'very challenging', if that makes sense. Part of me wishes to have heard more pulse-pounding pacing here & there, in what I listened to, but that doesn`t at all mean the film/score won`t work. Hmmmm. Will I get this? I may wait to more adequately see the significance of the score in-film before I decide. Thanks heaps for the samples.    Posted:   Sep 1, 2011 - 3:27 PM     By:   Michael2   (Member) Sounds very very interesting! I like a lot what I'm hearing. It's a very held-back soundtrack but it uses the orchestra in an actually quite thought way. And the jazz touches are very cool, too! Looking forward to this one, and the film too.    Posted:   Sep 14, 2011 - 4:12 PM     By:   Peter Greenhill   (Member) Saw a preview of this movie in London tonight. If you're a fan of the original novel, BBC series or spy stories in general then you'll love this. Gary Oldman is excellent. Absorbing stuff even if you know the ending. The music over the opening credits is superb, gorgeous, lonely, moody jazz. Sadly the rest of the score is IMO less attractive conventional orchestral scoring.It's OK in the film but the approach used over the opening titles had more mileage IMO and could have created a very strong score. Couldn't help thinking, what would John Barry have done with this film?. I'll probably pass on the cd but buy the first track as a download at itunes or amazon Film opens in US on 9th December.    Posted:   Sep 14, 2011 - 4:50 PM     By:   CinemaScope   (Member) I've heard so many good things about this film, I might for once leave the bunker & actually go & see this. I didn't stick with the TV series at the time. It was slow, oh so s-l-o-w.    Posted:   Sep 15, 2011 - 2:42 AM     By:   Peter Greenhill   (Member) Snippets of the score by Alberto Iglesias can be heard at itunes. http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/tinker-tailor-soldier-spy/id461197316    Posted:   Sep 15, 2011 - 11:59 AM     By:   nuts_score   (Member) I look forward to hearing this score in its entirety (as well as Iglesias' score for The Skin I Live In) as well as seeing the film.    Posted:   Sep 15, 2011 - 2:09 PM     By:   franz_conrad   (Member) SKIN I LIVE IN and this score are both good stuff. Probably the Iglesias score I like most from this year's patch is TAMBIEN LA LUVIAS though. DANCER UPSTAIRS remains his peerless peak, however.    Posted:   Sep 17, 2011 - 8:24 PM     By:   spielboy   (Member) "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" Alberto Iglesias CD Album - £9.99 Buy The Album and Get "Tambien La Lluvia" for £2.80 at silvascreenrecords.com    Posted:   Jan 27, 2012 - 12:18 AM     By:   Willgoldnewtonbarrygrusin   (Member) I´m late to the party - but, boy, is this score great! Excellently evoking an atmosphere of slowly building tension, dread, melancholy, hope. Beautifully melodic, orchestrated with restraint. This is how I would imagine Ian Fleming´s novels could "sound" like...    Posted:   Oct 8, 2012 - 7:51 PM     By:   Scottie Ferguson   (Member) I'm a bit late, as well. I bought this score over the summer. Absolutely love it. Smiley's theme/the main titles music is superb. It completely captures the essence of the spy genre. I love the low-key nature of the score. Great film, too. One of the best I've seen in a very long time.    Posted:   Oct 8, 2012 - 8:36 PM     By:   franz_conrad   (Member) Here here.    Posted:   Oct 10, 2012 - 11:30 AM     By:   nuts_score   (Member) Terrific film, terrific score. 2011 was a weak year for films, but a few shined through like diamonds -- Tomas Alfredson's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy amongst the top of them.    Posted:   Oct 10, 2012 - 11:39 AM     By:   Warlok   (Member) Loved the film, great performances by all involved. Hope for sequels. Disliked the score. This is the antithesis of Tora Tora Tora, Valkyrie, or On Her Majesty`s Secret Service... restrained, subdued, without power. In-film it provides a peculiar flavour to the excellent drama, but I found the main force of that drama to be due to the acting. The music provides the film with something else (not evocative power). Perhaps if one liked The Russia House (perhaps a bad example...). I agree - I wish that a personage like Barry (i.e. M.G. Shapiro, James Newton-Howard) had scored this. The Elfman track from the main title of The Wolfman does an able job of excitinng you for the full feature... do not expect more of that, however.    Posted:   Sep 18, 2014 - 7:23 AM     By:   Willgoldnewtonbarrygrusin   (Member) Listening to this again. Understated brilliance.    Posted:   Sep 18, 2014 - 7:41 AM     By:   judy the hutt   (Member) Great film good score. everyone excellent in it     General Discussion: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy soundtrack    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   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
