Sean Murray: Avengement [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
Sean Murray Avengement [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Sean Murray I was watching Avengement the other day on Netflix. I’m a big fan of the Jesse V. Johnson / Scott Adkins vehicles where everything is solved through big barroom beat-em-ups and a bit of martial hurts actually hurts everyone in the end, and during the middle, […]Archive

The Newton Brothers: Dr Sleep [OST]
The Newton Brothers Dr Sleep (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Watertower Music I’ve yet to read the book, but I probably will since I’m gearing up to dive deep back into the world of Stephen King – but I saw the film and liked the film, particularly given it had a lot to live up to, […]Archive

Clint Mansell: Out of Blue (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Clint Mansell Out of Blue (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Lakeshore Records One thing that will always get me to see a picture is a Clint Mansell score. And so though I’ve yet to see Out of Blue it is now on the list. Because of this soundtrack album. Oh, I mean it was probably going […]Archive

Daniel Lopatin: Uncut Gems – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Daniel Lopatin Uncut Gems – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Warp Records A strange adrenalin pushes the movie Uncut Gems – but then its anti-hero Howard Ratner (Adam Sandler) is compelled by a very strange adrenalin: For him it’s less about winning than it is not completely losing.

William Tyler: Music From First Cow
William Tyler Music From First Cow [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Merge Records I’m excited to hear this – firstly because it’s a new offering from William Tyler.

Thomas Newman: 1917 [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
Thomas Newman 1917 [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Sony Classical Thomas Newman long ago proved himself as one of the safest sets of hands in the film-scoring trade. Need your film scored? Need a bloody good job? Well, you’d call any of the Newmans of course, it’s the family trade but Thomas, from the early 2000s, […]Archive

Hildur Guðnadóttir: Chernobyl [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
Hildur Guðnadóttir Chernobyl [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Deutsche Grammophon One of my favourite albums of the year, and my favourite film score, was Hildur Guðnadóttir’s music for the film Joker. (I didn’t exactly like the film). But the must was sublime, both in the movie-watching experience and removed from it. Ahead of that I had […]Archive

Hildur Guðnadóttir & Jóhann Jóhannsson: Mary Magdalene [OST]
Hildur Guðnadóttir & Jóhann Jóhannsson Mary Magdalene [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] WEA International I wanted to like the film but I’m not sure it’s really up to much – despite stunning cinematography, this mesmerising score and the strong performances of its leads. That’s not quite enough to get it over the line, alas. It drags. It […]Archive
