This is a wee bit over due, as we are on episode four of this fantastic series featuring Patrick Stewart, back in his most iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard! Jeff Russo is composing again, and this main title…is superb! And it has a hook at the end. I should have expected it, considering his theme for Star Trek: Discovery has a similar hook…but this one is so good, it gets me every time i listen to it…You’ll know when you hear it
Musical Mondays – Pike on the Bridge – Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 soundtrack – Jeff Russo
Season one was good. Season 2…Awesome! This piece in particular…just beautiful. I cannot wait to hear what Russo composes for season 3.
Musical Monday – Shazam! – Benjamin Walflisch
I haven’t seen the film yet, but have read its good fun. As for the music…its great! Classic superhero music. I was hesitant at first, seeing as this is the same composer to work on Blade Runner: 2049, which i find hard to listen to, sadly. But this, this is on a different level entirely.
Take a Listen to the theme…
Musical Monday – The Avengers Theme – Alan Silvestri (and Danny Elfman :)
Endgame is finally here, and along with it comes the heroic soundtrack, once again composed by veteran Alan Silvestri. I thought today then would be a great opportunity to take a listen to the evolution of Avengers theme – to me, this right up there with John Williams’ Superman Theme, and Danny Elfman’s Batman Theme – classic super hero awesomeness…
Silvestri started it off…
Danny Elfman gave us a Fantastic update…
Then Silvestri brings us back to the original…
and sends them off gloriously…
Musical Mondays…The Last Jedi – John Williams…
Not gonna talk about the movie, I’ll just say I am one the many who enjoyed it.
As for the music…no one should be able to dispute that John WIlliams has done it, yet again. The score is amazing, overall…but two pieces stand out for me…
and
just fantastic!
Musical Mondays…Prologue from Ant-Man and the Wasp – Christophe Beck
t
Sometimes I cant tell if I love superhero movies because of the action on screen, or the thrilling music we are usually guaranteed to hear…and this one of those. I love that descending brass motif.
Christophe Beck composed a fantastic follow-up to his remarkable Ant-Man score. So happy that the director kept him on-board for this.
Musical Mondays – Jupiter Ascending – Movements 1-4 – Michael Giacchino
Another fine example of a horrible movie with some outstanding music. Michael Giacchino remains one of the best film composers of the 21st century, and this is why. His score for Jupiter Ascending is a delightful listening experience, especially the 1st four Movements as he titled them –
Musical Mondays – The Sound of Silence – Disturbed
Ok, not my usual music-related post…But this had to be shared. Covers of classic songs either tend to be really bad, or really really good. This one…is epic! Not what I was expecting from Disturbed…but in a good way.
Musical Mondays – Divide – Christ Tilton
i stumbled upon this little gem recently and finally listened to it last week, when i snuck it into my iPod for my morning workouts…and it’s fantastic – especially “Stealing the Future” – propulsive!
Musical Mondays – Eggsy is Back – Kingsman: The Golden Circle soundtrack…
OK, I am trying to get back into a schedule of regular posting content, and Monday’s seemed like a good day for some music. Let’s kick things off with Henry Jackman’s opening to Kingsman: The Golden Circle:Â “Eggsy is Back”.
I think I was looking forward more to the music of this film than the film itself. And a piece like this is why…Bagpipes, to the tune of John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Road” (I didnt realize this on first listening, it hit me later in the album) followed by that fantastic Kingsman Theme. And then the action kicks in…this is just fun stuff!
