Indeed, there is a "previous Verbinski" vibe to it. I'm looking forward to this score. I just wish we knew more about it!Epic track!!!!!! Hans Zimmer!! God!!Hi ! I have a litte question.<br>Is the 2 discs edition is the same in Europe and USA or the package is a little bit different ? Thanks for answering ;-)Okay this has definitely a PotC vibe, with a little bit of Rango at the end.OOPS! It's this one...  :)<br>comicbookmovie.com/ fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=81808
Here is a short clip of the movie (fast forward toward the end). Included is a short snippet of Zimmer's score.<br><br>comicbookmovie.com/ fansites/BatFreak/news/?a=81817I would love this. I would like to set up a performance for choir and synths (hopefully adding handbells, harp and percussion.)Hi,<br><br>I was wondering if your team was in need of a Modular Moog technician in the LA area.

Into The West (2005), Geoff Zanelli (2-CD) (Score-CD)<br>Auf 3000 Stück limitierte Doppel-CD<br>Infos vom Label: "Paramount Music and La-La Land Records will release a soundtrack album for the mini-series Into the West. The album features the Emmy Award-winning score composed by Geoff Zanelli (Disturbia, The Odd Life of Timothy Green). Paramount Music will distribute the digital version of the soundtrack, with La-La Land Records handling the physical release. The 2-disc album will be released on June 18, 2013.Honestly it's not impossible that the movie AND the score are both worse than Battleship... The good point is that expectations are pretty low, we may end up very surprised :-)Few things are, Tom, few things are. ;)Let us hope, that this won't be as bad as Battleship...Not quite sure I share your enthusiasm, Hybrid... It sounds kinda I feared it'll sound. I hoped for a big orchestra, but this is more "Person of interst" kind of score, apparently. Still impatiently waiting for the whole thing, though. Samples are often misguiding.
Yeah but digitally it's still Disney, isn't it?The Intrada release will be out in late July, maybe that's why...Just came back, and sadly it isn't. :/Thanks!! <br>It was "seasons" by Chris CornellOh that's a 90s golden oldie of grunge goodness....<br><br>Is it Soundgarden? or Pearl Jam...<br><br>cant remember....

I like Ottman (Specially Jack the Giant Slayer, a such wonderful score), but i think, they keep Jackman for this


Felix2013-04-03 17:13:19
Jackman is better then Ottman


Master2013-04-04 09:52:45
Jackman was good choice for first class because of good result. Nice themes and such, and it fits for the past of X-men, but bringing ottman back?? This is good news indeed. At first I didn't like his music really but I expanded my tastes, and X2 is now one of my favorites! :) I'm actually very glad they gave the job to him instead for DOFP. I look forward to this!


Cloud2013-04-04 16:33:27
Fantastic news, Ottman is an incredibly talented man and hix X2 score is miles ahead of First Class. Jack the Giant Slayer is one of the strongest scores of the year so far btw.

Macejko reply Replies: 1 || 2012-11-04 21:10:27
Love this score, but it's a shame that Herny will be probably replaced by John Ottman in the sequel, now when Bryan Singer is on board to direct.


Trent Easton Navarro2012-11-05 18:13:50
Jackman's score was highly enjoyable but nowhere near as good as Ottman's for X2. Really hoping Ottman will return to the franchise.

Anyone knows if the music played in the beginning of the movie with the young magneto in the nazi's field is a temp track from michael kamen´s first x-men score or jackman use kamen's theme with new arrangements??


KaijusRoyaume2011-06-26 11:34:44
I's Michael Kamen's cue. Vaughn makes a connection with the first X-Men movie on reshoot the nazi camp scene with new actors, but with the same music and photography ;)

Anything on ASCAP yet about who composed what?

Sabrina reply Replies: 4 || 2011-06-03 01:56:17
I like it.

Of course that it's not a Powell's masterpiece but it's pretty decent. The main theme - which I'll say belongs to the "X-Men" and Xavier - is amazing. Actually, I had goosebumps when I heard it.

The "Magneto" theme reminds me something. But it sounds amazing. Haven't seen the movie yet but I can picture Michael Fassbender clearly in my head when I listen to track 20.

"True Colours" reminds me of "Clash of the Titans" as someone mentioned before. So I agree with you all concerning that.

There is a "Kick-Ass" vibe in it as Sam pointed out. Which is a good thing 'cause I really enjoyed "Kick-Ass" - though it was written with other names.

The more calm melody which you can listen in "Rage and Serenity" is very beautiful. A love theme?! At least it has all the love and romance thing around it.

Overall I'm not disappointed with this score. Henry Jackman seems to be a good composer - I only know "Kick-Ass" and "Henri 4" and both are pretty good.

From the "X-Men" franchise, this one, some melodies in "Wolverine" and "The Last Stand" are the ones I like. "X-Men" and "X-Men 2" are pretty lame (except the main theme in X-Men 2 which is amazing).


flacka2011-06-04 17:16:53
Actually believe it or not but this score is about the best X Men score Ive ever heard. Second to this is Xmen 3...Third to this would be X2's main theme...The rest of the scores just meander alot, which is signature of Bryan Singer's meandering storylines.

I dunno, when I think of Xmen, I think of action music...bringing Powell, Gregson-Williams and now Jackman into the mix is a godsend. (although Gregson Williams work on Wolverine was fairly lazy and uninspiring IMO)

Not that the Xmen need to be a Remote Control staple, but cmon...for all the work that Ottman and Kamen did on the last scores, you gotta admit by comparison they are seriously lacking.

All regards to Kamen and Ottman, but I just dont picture a standard classical music backdrop with the Xmen. I picture guitar riffs and action synth...Zimmer style.

I mean we are dealing with a bunch of mutant superheroes running around beating the crap out of each other...It requires video game music.


Sabrina2011-06-05 21:59:39
Everything you wrote, flacka, is exactly what I think.

Couldn't agree more :P


KaijusRoyaume2011-06-14 07:21:58
@Sabrina,

For me, the Magneto's Theme reminds me the cue "Dream Is Collapsing" from Inception. The two themes are very similar.


Sabrina2011-06-15 20:46:16
@ KaijusRoyaume
After reading your comment I hear "Dream Is Collapsing" and then it stroke me that you're right!

Still, it wasn't that song. It reminds me something different from Hans Zimmer.

But it's cool... Jakcman was Zimmer apprentice so I guess it's normal to hear bits similar to his master's work just like Miles said!

I have already seen the movie and it was amazing. The soundtrack was even more amazing with the movie! It gave it a complete different essence. Loved it!

Miles reply Replies: 0 || 2011-06-14 07:33:45
I agree with Sabrina. It's not on the same epic level as Powell's Last Stand (although cues like "First Class" and "Sub Lift" come pretty darn close), but it is a very fun ride. I waited until the movie to hear the score, and it meshed pretty well with the onscreen action. I was a little let down that there wasn't more of the music from the final battle, but I really like what Henry Jackman has done here. Some parts even sound like something Powell himself might have written, and the rest adapts some Zimmer standbys (string progressions, horns) without being a carbon copy. A solid blockbuster score; I look forward to hearing more of Jackman's work in the future!

Hybrid Soldier reply Replies: 1 || 2011-06-02 20:33:23
What's funny about the team who did it is that John Ashton Thomas, orchestrator here, wrote additional music for The Last Stand, and Chris Willis, who wrote add. music here, also wrote add. music for Wolverine ! :P


Bondo2011-06-04 06:06:49
I wonder if Chris Willis worked on "Let Battle Commence," considering the beginning sounds straight out of Wolverine :D

I think it's Dom Lewis. The theme is the same.


Where's the good stuff!!!?2011-05-31 11:38:34
Just listened to the full score and it is really crap! No guts, no originality and no glory. Sounds like free temp music tv stations buy to put on crappy adverts. Very disappointed, but not surprised with what I heard.


Sam2011-05-31 19:21:11
It has a theme... thing the others didn't had, at least a consistent theme!

It's an action score filled with excitement! Probably one of the best actions score of this year so far. It has a Kick-Ass vibe to it as well. It's also addictive!

I like it!

PS: Yes, I also thought about "Clash of the Titans" when I heard "True Colours". I thought it had just been me!

For what I could hear in cinemamusica.de (thanks for telling us Clips), it sounds absolutely amazing!

Track 1 "First Class" has an amazing melody... that track alone conquered me :P

Track 12 "Rage and Serenity" also seems to be a pretty good track. I like the guitars behind!

Track 20 "Magneto"... wow!!

Overall... I can't wait to have the album 'cause it sounds like a pretty good soundtrack ;-)

It's a good way to listen the album and to judge it! It's in french and, if you happen to like it, you can immediately buy it!

I'm listening to it right now and I'm loving it! So far, "First Class" and "Cerebro" are my favourite (I'm in the middle of the album).
