One album per artist otherwise I’d end up with a bunch of Morricone and Herrmann.
Films only so nothing from television, games etc.
Scores only, no soundtracks that are compilations of previously recorded tracks (although there are a couple that feature unoriginal tracks but which are primarily the score).
No musicals as that’s probably for a different list and definitely by a different person.
I’ve seen nearly all the films. I’m including these here on the basis that I love them as an album listening experience; there are plenty of examples of films where I love the score as featured in the film but as a standalone record they don’t really work.
Just kidding. I listened to it loads in 2010 when I was still a hardened Bayverse defender. But it’s been 12 years since I last listened to it and probably never will again haha
Great thread idea. Do love a score.
I could probably do a top twenty but would struggle with a hundred.
Looking forward to this and expect there’ll be loads of nice stuff for me to dig into
Love the Kes Score! When Trunk issued it Jarvis did the liner notes and they’ve stuck with me, “This is beauty so fragile it hurts. This is music with the Jesses well & truly off.”
Reading ^that selection makes me realise just how powerful a memory trigger music can be when combined with the moving image. Transported me right back to seeing some of those for the first time.
That It Follows score (brilliant) has totally shifted how modern horror films are scored - want to make someone feel uneasy, just bang an arpeggiator on it…
