Galactus Suite | The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Original Soundtrack) by Michael Giacchino azc0na 2025-07-25 | After being bombarded with that gorgeous main theme for around a year now, I feel like people forget Galactus' theme has been known for about as long. And honestly, it's a lot simpler than most Giacchino villain themes; just a three note motif, often repeated over and over until a grand crescendo. On the surface it's unassuming, but Giacchino excels in doing a lot with a little. Galactus' motif gets played in so many fun and interesting ways, whether it be shrill strings in A Galactus Case of the Munchies, or a haunting choral omen in A Walk on the City. This isn't even counting the action tracks, which utilize incredible choral work reminiscent of Giacchino's Lightyear and Star Trek scores. There's a larger than life sound to Galactus' material, and the versatility in which Giacchino reprises it is impressive. Rather than just conveying his size and terror, there's a cosmic inevitably to his theme, this feeling of helplessness and fealty with the way his theme traditionally rises and falls. But by the end of the score, the motif is reprised less and less, opting for these horrifying screams and orchestral clashes to portray Galactus as the monstrous calamity he truly is beneath the grandeur.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 The Galactus/Silver Surfer Suite1:18 A Galactus Case of the Munchies2:11 Bowel Before Me3:08 A Walk on the City4:54 A Galactus Case of the Munchies5:28 Span-tastic Voyage*6:15 Bowel Before Me7:28 A Galactus Case of the Munchies8:48 A Walk on the City + A Galactus Case of the Munchies8:52 A Walk on the City*11:14 Nothing Neutron Under the Sun*12:45 The Other Sue Drops*13:27 The Light Speed of Your Life + The Other Sue Drops13:35 The Light Speed of Your Life*15:50 A Walk on the City*16:44 The Other Sue Drops*18:34 A Galactus Case of the Munchies + The Other Sue Drops18:40 Span-tastic Voyage℗ 2025 Marvel Music Inc.#marvel #fantasticfour #soundtrack #fantasticfourfirststeps #pedropascal #mcu #galactus #silversurfer #disney #comicbook #comicbookmovie #multiverseJoin the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/0yuJY1TWdXHnG74u5yAPLBApple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/the-fantastic-four-first-steps-original-motion/1826653923YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_llgdbXOt5XuLE3nT06yi0HxtQp-vu-_zQ&si=UlRfPy48mR7oyry_Support Michael Giacchino!Website - michaelgiacchino.comYouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCD2LZAT1j1DyVXq2R2BdusQApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giacchino/27462369Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/4kLvhMAuCloLxoP1aVM7Lr?si=sOfwdb4KS2KWCXcUwS0Qcg&utm_source=copy-linkCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Silver Surfer Suite | The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Original Soundtrack) by Michael Giacchino azc0na 2025-07-25 | I was expecting there to be mainly two themes in the Fantastic Four score, but I was pleasantly surprised that Giacchino created a theme for the Silver Surfer herself. In my opinion, it's the biggest delight of the entire score for me. While the main theme is rightfully iconic and glorious, this is a theme with all the pathos and atmosphere this character deserves. Her theme is a five note motif that gets built off of and expanded into a fuller melody, starting off the score on moody woodwinds and chilling vocals. There's also the subtle presence of an organ as well, which helps with the aforementioned atmosphere. With the way her theme plays out, there's this cosmic holiness that I feel is more prevalent here than with Galactus' theme; this feeling of complete neutrality, a being of the stars that can be either good or bad. As with most Giacchino Marvel villain themes, it functions both as a great villain theme but also as something more sympathetic. Her theme gets played on a solo violin and piano, showing sides to her previously unseen. There's a greater tragedy and longing her theme perfectly conveys in this tone, and it makes the bigger orchestral flourishes more rewarding; it's the reclamation of her humanity and ownership over her own destiny. The action material for Silver Surfer is also incredible, with rapid percussion underscoring these proud and loud chants of her theme. All in all, this is an absolutely incredible theme, and I feel like Giacchino's ability to show dimensions to a character through the reprisals of a given theme is incomparable in modern film scoring.TRACKLIST:0:00 The Galactus/Silver Surfer Suite0:48 Herald Today, Gone Tomorrow4:06 The Galactus/Silver Surfer Suite7:00 The Bridges of Silver Surfer County8:13 The Galactus/Silver Surfer Suite9:11 The Bridges of Silver Surfer County9:22 Bowel Before Me9:49 The Light Speed of Your Life9:55 Bowel Before Me9:59 The Light Speed of Your Life10:47 The Other Sue Drops11:16 The Galactus/Silver Surfer Suite℗ 2025 Marvel Music Inc.#marvel #fantasticfour #soundtrack #fantasticfourfirststeps #pedropascal #mcu #galactus #silversurfer #disney #comicbook #comicbookmovie #multiverseJoin the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/0yuJY1TWdXHnG74u5yAPLBApple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/the-fantastic-four-first-steps-original-motion/1826653923YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_llgdbXOt5XuLE3nT06yi0HxtQp-vu-_zQ&si=UlRfPy48mR7oyry_Support Michael Giacchino!Website - michaelgiacchino.comYouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCD2LZAT1j1DyVXq2R2BdusQApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giacchino/27462369Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/4kLvhMAuCloLxoP1aVM7Lr?si=sOfwdb4KS2KWCXcUwS0Qcg&utm_source=copy-linkCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Fantastic Four Suite | The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Original Soundtrack) by Michael Giacchino azc0na 2025-07-25 | This theme dude. Within three years, Giacchino has created two of the most iconic superhero themes with his theme for The Batman, and now his theme for the Fantastic Four. Even when we didn't have a first trailer, we heard this theme at SDCC, and ever since then the marketing has played it in all it's glory, with these live orchestral performances at the Hollywood Bowl and even the film's premiere! Since when are we giving modern themes this much love and passion in the marketing and leadup to a movie? It's unheard of nowadays, but Giacchino's work is so beautiful and complex that it warrants such worship. First off, this theme is centered on fours, which is such a simple yet noteworthy detail. Second, this theme is SEEPED in the retro futuristic iconography of the setting. Whether it's the Jetsons-esque electronic flourishes, the boppy and lively vocals, or the orchestra sounding toned back ala film scores of the 50's and 70's, Giacchino does so much to evoke this time period the best he can. It's a theme that sounds like the Silver Age these characters rose from, this optimism and whimsy rarely found in movie scores nowadays. It evokes the space race, that sense of adventure and discovery we had back when our technology was still young. It's bouncy, it's vibrant, it's beautiful, and... those Fantastic Four chants? The perfect cherry on top. What else is there to say, when Giacchino proves time and time again that he is one of, if not the greatest modern composer in Hollywood (in my ever-humble opinion).* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 The Fantastic Four Power Hour (Cartoon Theme)0:30 Carseat Drivers1:45 Pregnancy Testing 1, 2, 33:36 Starship Birth5:59 Don't Sue the Baby!8:48 Tripping the Lights Fantastic11:00 Out to Launch16:58 The Fantastic Four: First Steps Main Theme Extended18:50 Fantastic Four, First Cue20:34 The Fantastic Four: First Steps Main Theme Extended22:44 Fantastic Four, First Cue*25:17 Span-tastic Voyage26:38 A Mole in Your Plan + Span-tastic Voyage*23:44 A Mole in Your Plan26:49 Herald Today, Gone Tomorrow27:08 Fantastic Four, First Cue28:16 Nothing Neutron Under the Sun28:41 A Walk on the City*29:29 The Light Speed of Your Life*30:06 Without Further Adieu31:24 Fantastic Four to Be Reckoned With℗ 2025 Marvel Music Inc.#marvel #fantasticfour #soundtrack #fantasticfourfirststeps #pedropascal #mcu #galactus #silversurfer #disney #comicbook #comicbookmovie #multiverseJoin the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/0yuJY1TWdXHnG74u5yAPLBApple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/the-fantastic-four-first-steps-original-motion/1826653923YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_llgdbXOt5XuLE3nT06yi0HxtQp-vu-_zQ&si=UlRfPy48mR7oyry_Support Michael Giacchino!Website - michaelgiacchino.comYouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCD2LZAT1j1DyVXq2R2BdusQApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giacchino/27462369Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/4kLvhMAuCloLxoP1aVM7Lr?si=sOfwdb4KS2KWCXcUwS0Qcg&utm_source=copy-linkCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Superman Suite | Superman 2025 (Original Soundtrack) by John Williams, John Murphy, & David Fleming azc0na 2025-07-12 | I haven't stopped thinking about Superman since I saw it. It gave me optimism that I never expected to feel from any kind of modern superhero movie, one that revitalized what a great comic book film can be, and why characters like Superman are so important in the pop culture. Such a terrific, beautiful, fun film all around. One of the things I was initially unsure about however was them reprising the Williams theme. As great as it was, I felt like we could always get something unique and iconic in it's own right again, like Zimmer's score. Regardless, I feel like Murphy and Fleming did a good job at bringing back the original theme without it feeling derivative and unfitting. One way they did was by changing around the notes slightly to make it punchier and less of a Williams-esque march, which works with the style they're going for. Fleming talked about using guitars as the primary language of Corenswet's Superman, which fits extremely well, especially given how the film discusses punk rock, and attributes Clark's compassion and love as "the real punk rock". And yet, the theme never loses the emotional edge, which I appreciate greatly. It still sounds triumphant, heroic, and perfectly encompassing the Man of Steel. Even all these years later, Williams proves to be a timeless composer, and Fleming/Murphy did well to honor his legacy whilst paving a new path forward.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Your Choices, Your Actions2:50 Home3:05 Theme from Superman - Only in Theaters July 11 (Extended)3:59 Last Son5:24 Home6:24 Last Son6:55 Remote Control7:11 Something Like a Sun + Remote Control7:18 Something Like a Sun*7:42 Raising the Flag9:20 Theme from Superman (Trailer Version)11:03 Theme from Superman (Official Trailer Version)12:11 Eyes Up Here12:34 Last Son13:18 Jailbreak*13:51 Eyes Up Here*14:38 The River Pi15:28 Justice Gang vs. Kaiju15:39 Being Human16:45 Look Up18:40 Eyes Up Here18:48 The Rift19:20 Look Up19:29 Home19:39 Being Human20:11 Theme from Superman (Official Trailer Version)℗ 2025 WaterTower Music#superman #dc #manofsteel #superhero #superheromovie #comicbook #comicbookmovie #score #soundtrack #originalscore #originalsoundtrack #moviesoundtrack #filmscoreJoin the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43 Support John Murphy!Website - http://johnmurphyofficial.comYouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCS8czY_rhZCM0eqr2DGepugApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/john-murphy/267837Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/4UGoqrmNHDJ166XD6DtZni?si=TU33yX6MRAKX-PapThz4rA&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Support David Fleming!Website - davidflemingmusic.comYouTube - music.youtube.com/channel/UC5iyVTgozhcMUXeXqf8-jYg?si=JoCUtXdk_RxAEL80Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/david-fleming/2249143Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/5i0L6675x4W9WULHPA2Ks8Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/5NrArmSSCpQg2eDq7vqRyAApple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/superman-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/1823012003YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nXncfAoNrISDNILV5TPbZHK-_DbC2ndc0&si=NZ2oRXRsLAy1QUB7Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Love Suite | Superman 2025 (Original Soundtrack) by John Murphy & David Fleming azc0na 2025-07-11 | It's honestly hard to compete with the love theme Williams created for the original Superman film, so I don't want to compare or dog on Murphy's theme for Lois and Clark's relationship. It's a fine love theme, focusing on tender guitar and soft strings. It's very simple, but in the film it does a good job at displaying their blossoming, complicated relationship.TRACKLIST:0:00 Lois & Clark1:01 Take the T-Craft2:07 The Real Punk Rock3:29 Walking on Air℗ 2025 WaterTower Music #superman #dc #manofsteel #superhero #superheromovie #comicbook #comicbookmovie #score #soundtrack #originalscore #originalsoundtrack #moviesoundtrack #filmscore Join the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43 Support John Murphy!Website - http://johnmurphyofficial.comYouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCS8czY_rhZCM0eqr2DGepugApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/john-murphy/267837Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/4UGoqrmNHDJ166XD6DtZni?si=TU33yX6MRAKX-PapThz4rA&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1 Support David Fleming!Website - davidflemingmusic.comYouTube - music.youtube.com/channel/UC5iyVTgozhcMUXeXqf8-jYg?si=JoCUtXdk_RxAEL80Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/david-fleming/2249143Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/5i0L6675x4W9WULHPA2Ks8 Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/5NrArmSSCpQg2eDq7vqRyAApple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/superman-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/1823012003YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nXncfAoNrISDNILV5TPbZHK-_DbC2ndc0&si=NZ2oRXRsLAy1QUB7 Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Justice Gang Suite | Superman 2025 (Original Soundtrack) by David Fleming azc0na 2025-07-11 | When creating a theme for the Justice Gang, Fleming said that he wanted it to sound as if it was incomplete, cobbled together like they were rushing having a theme for their group. As such, their theme has a very triumphant two phrases, but never goes off of that into anything more complex or dynamic. It's a really cool idea for a superhero theme to bank on the predictability and incompleteness of it, and even then, Fleming still makes a pretty fun riff for this gang of corporate superheroes.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Justice Gang vs. Kaiju1:59 Jailbreak2:19 Justice Gang vs. Kaiju*2:27 Upgrade℗ 2025 WaterTower Music#superman #dc #manofsteel #superhero #superheromovie #comicbook #comicbookmovie #score #soundtrack #originalscore #originalsoundtrack #moviesoundtrack #filmscoreJoin the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43 Support John Murphy!Website - http://johnmurphyofficial.comYouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCS8czY_rhZCM0eqr2DGepugApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/john-murphy/267837Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/4UGoqrmNHDJ166XD6DtZni?si=TU33yX6MRAKX-PapThz4rA&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Support David Fleming!Website - davidflemingmusic.comYouTube - music.youtube.com/channel/UC5iyVTgozhcMUXeXqf8-jYg?si=JoCUtXdk_RxAEL80Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/david-fleming/2249143Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/5i0L6675x4W9WULHPA2Ks8Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/5NrArmSSCpQg2eDq7vqRyAApple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/superman-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/1823012003YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nXncfAoNrISDNILV5TPbZHK-_DbC2ndc0&si=NZ2oRXRsLAy1QUB7Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Lex Luthor Suite | Superman 2025 (Original Soundtrack) by John Murphy & David Fleming azc0na 2025-07-11 | Superman is here! As such, I want to make suites of some of the themes that appear in the film. Lex's theme is one that makes a bold, impactful entrance in the LuthorCorp track, with a plucking ostinato and moody chords, before his four note motif takes center stage on villainous strings. The matter in which his theme is performed is what makes it stick out, with moody rock elements and churning guitars, but also some grander, classically dubious renditions in tracks like Intruder or The Rift. Perhaps the most interesting development of his theme comes partway through the final battle in Remote Control, where it evolves into something much more machievellian and grand, eventually leading to a satisfying, nigh operatic close in the final track of the suite. It's not my personal favorite Lex theme, but those new, unique additions that Murphy gave it help make it stand out.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 The Message0:35 Secret Harem1:10 Remote Control1:30 Intruders3:40 LuthorCorp5:12 Secret Harem6:04 Driven by Envy6:42 Secret Harem + Driven by Envy6:47 Secret Harem7:25 Bases Loaded + Secret Harem7:30 Bases Loaded8:25 Intruders9:07 Remote Control*9:40 The Rift9:50 Remote Control10:43 Driven by Envy*11:00 Luthor the Traitor*℗ 2025 WaterTower Music#superman #dc #manofsteel #superhero #superheromovie #comicbook #comicbookmovie #score #soundtrack #originalscore #originalsoundtrack #moviesoundtrack #filmscoreJoin the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43 Support John Murphy!Website - http://johnmurphyofficial.comYouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCS8czY_rhZCM0eqr2DGepugApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/john-murphy/267837Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/4UGoqrmNHDJ166XD6DtZni?si=TU33yX6MRAKX-PapThz4rA&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Support David Fleming!Website - davidflemingmusic.comYouTube - music.youtube.com/channel/UC5iyVTgozhcMUXeXqf8-jYg?si=JoCUtXdk_RxAEL80Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/david-fleming/2249143Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/5i0L6675x4W9WULHPA2Ks8Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/5NrArmSSCpQg2eDq7vqRyAApple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/superman-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/1823012003YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nXncfAoNrISDNILV5TPbZHK-_DbC2ndc0&si=NZ2oRXRsLAy1QUB7Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Homeward Suite | How to Train Your Dragon 2025 (Original Soundtrack) by John Powell azc0na 2025-06-13 | This will be a very normal comments section! Opinions about the film aside, one of the surprising additions in the score for the remake is a new leitmotif, which until it gets an official name I'm dubbing the Homeward motif. It begins almost identically to the main theme, but the second phrase changes up some of the latter notes and by extent the course of the melody. It's almost a hymn or lullaby, and since I won't be seeing the remake I don't know what it's significance could be. A theme for home, for family, for finding your belonging? Regardless, Powell's choral work for this theme, mainly in You Are My Homeward, is astounding, and I'm glad he was able to add something fresh and worthwhile to his old score.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 He's Not That Boy1:08 I Want to Be One of You Guys1:34 Sketches of a Wounded Dragon2:29 You're Not My Son + Sketches of a Wounded Dragon2:33 You're Not My Son3:06 Waiting to Enter the Ring + You're Not My Son3:09 Waiting to Enter the Ring4:08 The Wings of the Beast4:20 We Have Dragons*4:56 Allied Forces*5:28 You Are My Homeward7:04 ...and finally, The End Credits Suite℗ 2025 Back Lot Music, a division of Universal Studios Music LLLP#howtotrainyourdragon #httyd #dreamworks #hiccup #toothless #liveaction #remake #johnpowell #soundtrack #originalsoundtrack #score #originalscore #moviescore #moviesoundtrackJoin the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43Support John Powell!Website - johnpowellmusic.comYouTube - music.youtube.com/channel/UC1u5DtpzQE05T2P_NMg-a7Q?si=EpSrRH-zO_W_k84qApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/john-powell/61088593Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/3EAHF3jdnHHdko5DBrhRUPListen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/4eWwSXYZZhc6zfTHPNSoEwApple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/how-to-train-your-dragon-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/1813026214Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Godzilla Earth Suite - Ver 2 | Godzilla Anime Trilogy (Original Soundtrack) by Takayuki Hattori azc0na 2025-05-23 | This suite was pretty much inevitable, wasn't it? Godzilla's theme is a simple four note motif, played on low brass or bassoon/oboe. While this isn't anything complicated, it's the ways in which Hattori embellishes Godzilla's musical identity that makes it stand out. In moments preceding Godzilla's arrival, or scenes where his presence is heavy, there's a low, grumbly string motif that gurgles slugglishly along, as if a beast was drifting in and out of slumber. There's the occasional drum that makes singular appearances to herald the arrival of the main motif as well, and Hattori makes excellent use of his minimal orchestra to create a damp, ancient atmosphere for Godzilla Earth to inhabit. Another thematic idea associated with Godzilla is the Total Warfare theme, an intense array of taiko drums across a marching string ostinato. It's hard to separate the musical idea from Godzilla given how linked they are in the score, but it helps to add a bit of action into Earth's soundscape. But it's through these elements where Godzilla Earth's sound truly shines; booming percussion and angry brass, a choir humming his motif and bellowing it as loud as they can during the height of his destruction. Hattori doesn't paint Godzilla as anything other than a lumbering, titanic brute, and his theme excellently captures that characterization without sacrificing the weight and age of this iteration. It's truly a theme befitting of an ancient god of destruction and order.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 The Beginning4:05 Ruin and Salvation4:42 Attack That Consumes the Earth5:28 Threat5:45 Ruin and Salvation6:30 Mutation of the Earth9:02 The Quiet Godzilla9:50 A Sign11:10 Threat12:18 Uncontrollable13:14 Spore*14:10 Vulture Sortie14:56 Awakening15:16 Mutation of the Earth15:20 Counterattack15:35 Monster Planet15:38 GODZILLA18:19 Monster Planet*18:46 Conflict18:52 Threat19:24 Counterattack20:42 Awakening*22:35 Evacuate22:54 Spore*23:58 Counterattack24:26 Awakening25:29 Induction25:40 Atomic Breath Attack25:53 Total War28:39 In Order to Win29:08 Monster Planet29:30 GODZILLA ℗ 2024 #godzilla #godzillamonsterplanet #anime #godzillaanime #monsterverse Join the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43 Support Takayuki Hattori!YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCTpSojSwxAk27CSZG-eumgQApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/takayuki-hattori/41846922Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/76bJYea3ZCMhhO8aF0iU5W?si=k4l9ynsIRk68BJk4D9Diew&utm_source=copy-link Listen to the soundtrack!Planet of the Monsters on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/3nm8O2MMz5RmT7zMXb21UNPlanet of the Monsters on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/takayuki-hattori/41846922City on the Edge of Battle OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/0i7viaI3cwrgGh3nUql76mCity on the Edge of Battle OST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB-godzilla-%E6%B1%BA%E6%88%A6%E6%A9%9F%E5%8B%95%E5%A2%97%E6%AE%96%E9%83%BD%E5%B8%82-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF/1383143731The Planet Eater OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1vcogzwFBaT8P1Fi2mLkirThe Planet Eater OST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB-godzilla-%E6%98%9F%E3%82%92%E5%96%B0%E3%81%86%E8%80%85-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF/1440967434 Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Haruo Sakaki Suite | Godzilla Anime Trilogy (Original Soundtrack) by Takayuki Hattori azc0na 2025-05-22 | I genuinely think Haruo's theme is the best human character theme in the Godzilla franchise, and I know that's high praise. Hattori's work for the anime trilogy is so special in that regard, because he put just as much attention and care into the human characters' musical identity as the kaiju. For Haruo, his theme is the emotional core of these films' soundtrack, down to the point where his chords are recognizable without the motif atop it. Solemn piano and sustained, serene synth notes open his theme, before his main melody comes into fray. There are multiple components to it, different segments of the theme to give it life and range. The one everyone knows is his main motif, that sad, forlorn, yet determined sound that showcases Haruo's tragedy along with his determination to persevere. The next section is a lot more dower, most notable in the final section of Agonizing Decision, a melody that portrays his folly, the losses endured. The last section of his theme appears the least, most notable at the end of Earth's Civilization and Agonizing Decision, but it's where the hope and optimism return, though it ends on a harrowing note. Hattori also has impeccable range with how he plays Haruo's theme; piano and light orchestra are his main devices, but he turns it into an inspiring military march in Commander, a classical piece like Attack That Consumes the Planet, or a harrowing, emotional climax with male choir like in Agonizing Decision. It's such a powerful, and poignant theme, and I feel in spite of all the discussion and controversy these films provide, it brings out the emotions and beauty of what these films could have been at their core to some. And Haruo's theme is a beautiful, resonant example of that.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Haruo's Anguish1:01 Haruo and Yuko*1:50 Maina3:25 Haruo's Memory + Maina3:36 Haruo's Memory5:35 Monster Planet6:55 Decision of The Central Committee7:10 Analysis Results8:58 Attack That Consumes the Planet9:46 Earth's Civilization10:22 Commander11:55 Godzilla Annihilation Strategy14:13 Operation Instructions15:33 Rush15:57 Agonizing Decision*19:35 Ruin and Salvation19:47 Decision at the End20:44 Ruin and Salvation21:26 Farewell23:59 Relief℗ 2017-2018#godzilla #godzillamonsterplanet #anime #godzillaanime #monsterverseJoin the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43 Support Takayuki Hattori!YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCTpSojSwxAk27CSZG-eumgQApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/takayuki-hattori/41846922Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/76bJYea3ZCMhhO8aF0iU5W?si=k4l9ynsIRk68BJk4D9Diew&utm_source=copy-linkListen to the soundtrack!Planet of the Monsters on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/3nm8O2MMz5RmT7zMXb21UNPlanet of the Monsters on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/takayuki-hattori/41846922City on the Edge of Battle OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/0i7viaI3cwrgGh3nUql76mCity on the Edge of Battle OST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB-godzilla-%E6%B1%BA%E6%88%A6%E6%A9%9F%E5%8B%95%E5%A2%97%E6%AE%96%E9%83%BD%E5%B8%82-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF/1383143731The Planet Eater OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1vcogzwFBaT8P1Fi2mLkirThe Planet Eater OST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB-godzilla-%E6%98%9F%E3%82%92%E5%96%B0%E3%81%86%E8%80%85-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF/1440967434Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Houtua Suite | Godzilla Anime Trilogy (Original Soundtrack) by Takayuki Hattori azc0na 2025-05-21 | The Houtua's theme might be the simplest one so far, or possibly the least versatile in its variations. It's not a bad thing at all however, since Hattori's sound for the Houtua is very unique compared to anything else from the score. It's a collection of vibraphones, soft percussive clacking, and other bells and whistles (pun intended) that convey the naturalist beliefs and grounded nature of the Houtua tribe, or just the general sounds used for Mothra in the franchise generally. Like I said, it isn't the most diverse theme in the anime trilogy's repertoire, but it is very befitting of the tribe in the films.

Military Suite - Ver 2 | Godzilla Anime Trilogy (Original Soundtrack) by Takayuki Hattori azc0na 2025-05-20 | Another redo! It's a hard one to write about because I feel like its self explanatory based off of the sound. But I feel like Hattori created an extremely catchy, mobilized theme that captures the heroism and militancy (ha) of the heroes quite well. In the large pool of Godzilla military themes, this one reigns supreme near the top. I also love the electronic and action remixes of it, adding more urgency into the fray.TRACKLIST:0:00 Subspace Flight2:24 Nanometal - Hope4:02 Speech5:36 Rush6:30 Leland’s Suicide Attack10:20 Yuko's Battle11:00 Landing Boat Assault12:14 Thermobaric Bomb13:20 Great Barrier Rush14:24 In Order to Win℗ 2017-2018 TOHO CO., LTD#godzilla #godzillamonsterplanet #anime #godzillaanime #monsterverse Join the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43 Support Takayuki Hattori!YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCTpSojSwxAk27CSZG-eumgQApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/takayuki-hattori/41846922Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/76bJYea3ZCMhhO8aF0iU5W?si=k4l9ynsIRk68BJk4D9Diew&utm_source=copy-link Listen to the soundtrack!Planet of the Monsters on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/3nm8O2MMz5RmT7zMXb21UNPlanet of the Monsters on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/takayuki-hattori/41846922City on the Edge of Battle OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/0i7viaI3cwrgGh3nUql76mCity on the Edge of Battle OST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB-godzilla-%E6%B1%BA%E6%88%A6%E6%A9%9F%E5%8B%95%E5%A2%97%E6%AE%96%E9%83%BD%E5%B8%82-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF/1383143731Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Ghidorah Suite - Ver 2 | Godzilla: The Planet Eater (Original Soundtrack) by Takayuki Hattori azc0na 2025-05-19 | This is probably the suite that had the least amount of fixing up to do, but I couldn't resist it. Hattori's Ghidorah theme is one of my favorite modern themes in the franchise, and its biggest sin is that its not used more. Dissonant, ambient synths dwindle low in the mix, akin to Metphies' theme in a way, yet it sounds... odd. Foreboding, eerie. The string motifs are pitched high, and reverberate from left to right channel like a serpent, a foreboding omen. Ghidorah's motif is six simple notes, played on low woodwinds in an almost muted, harmless manner. It's such a discomforting, clashing feeling, as if the theme is trying to lure you in with a sense of false security before striking. It's not seamless like Metphies, it's malovelent intentions are so apparent it's almost trapping. The loud spikes in orchestral noise, almost a shriek for help, followed by the plotting drums and string patterns as Ghidorah's theme explodes into a frenzy of brass and strings. His theme is akin to an older horror film, yes pulpy and orchestral, but there is a genuine existential fear that Hattori is able to capture so perfectly despite his smaller orchestra. An absolutely perfect theme for the nightmare it's meant to represent.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Ghidorah0:27 Confrontation1:39 Ghidorah + Confrontation1:52 Ghidorah2:31 The Planet Eater3:36 Ghidorah's Threat4:49 Ghidorah8:52 Ghidorah's Threat9:24 Attack That Consumes the Earth℗ 2018 TOHO CO., LTD#godzilla #godzillamonsterplanet #anime #godzillaanime #monsterverse Join the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43 Support Takayuki Hattori!YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCTpSojSwxAk27CSZG-eumgQApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/takayuki-hattori/41846922Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/76bJYea3ZCMhhO8aF0iU5W?si=k4l9ynsIRk68BJk4D9Diew&utm_source=copy-link Listen to the soundtrack!The Planet Eater OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1vcogzwFBaT8P1Fi2mLkirThe Planet Eater OST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB-godzilla-%E6%98%9F%E3%82%92%E5%96%B0%E3%81%86%E8%80%85-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF/1440967434 Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Metphies Suite | Godzilla Anime Trilogy (Original Soundtrack) by Takayuki Hattori azc0na 2025-05-18 | Metphies' theme is a soothing hymn, played primarily through the plucking of a harp, or a string ensemble, or better yet atmospheric synths. It's a theme meant to coo and calm, almost akin to spa music in the way it drifts and soothes. The versions as the films progress get more diverse, with some piano and cello arrangements to add layers of emotion and history to Metphies and the Exif. But through Planet Eater, as Metphies unveils his darker colors, his theme takes on a more unnerved, harsh edge, with the strings becoming more unhinged and the orchestra focusing on the weight of his betrayal and madness. Metphies' theme even dabbles in classical elements, whether be the pensive opening to Metphies - Kindness, or the almost machievellian unraveling in Attack That Consumes the Earth, Hattori manages to change Metphies' theme in a way that isn't as simple as "making it evil". Through almost all of his human character themes is a deep, poetic tragedy that underlines the melodies he writes, and it makes Metphies' theme one of my personal favorite non-monster Godzilla themes.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Metphies - Kindness0:53 Summoning3:28 Domination5:10 Faith6:19 Prediction7:49 The Word of Metphies7:55 Synchrony of Metphies + The Word of Metphies7:59 Synchrony of Metphies8:53 Metphies + Synchrony of Metphies8:57 Metphies10:31 Guidance11:02 Worship11:37 Ruin and Salvation12:18 Mind Control13:50 Sacrifice15:42 Prayer16:22 Metphies - Speculation19:20 Nightmare20:17 Ruin and Salvation20:38 Eye21:23 Attack That Consumes the Earth*23:00 The Final Stage25:28 Farewell26:43 Faith + Farewell26:47 Faith ℗ 2017 - 2018 TOHO CO., LTD.#godzilla #godzillamonsterplanet #anime #godzillaanime #monsterverse Join the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43 Support Takayuki Hattori!YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCTpSojSwxAk27CSZG-eumgQApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/takayuki-hattori/41846922Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/76bJYea3ZCMhhO8aF0iU5W?si=k4l9ynsIRk68BJk4D9Diew&utm_source=copy-link Listen to the soundtrack!Planet of the Monsters on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/3nm8O2MMz5RmT7zMXb21UNPlanet of the Monsters on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/takayuki-hattori/41846922City on the Edge of Battle OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/0i7viaI3cwrgGh3nUql76mCity on the Edge of Battle OST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB-godzilla-%E6%B1%BA%E6%88%A6%E6%A9%9F%E5%8B%95%E5%A2%97%E6%AE%96%E9%83%BD%E5%B8%82-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF/1383143731The Planet Eater OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1vcogzwFBaT8P1Fi2mLkirThe Planet Eater OST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB-godzilla-%E6%98%9F%E3%82%92%E5%96%B0%E3%81%86%E8%80%85-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF/1440967434 Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Mechagodzilla City Suite | Godzilla Anime Trilogy (Original Soundtrack) by Takayuki Hattori azc0na 2025-05-17 | There are plenty of things to be said about the treatment of Mechagodzilla within the trilogy, what they did or what they could've done. But the music is cool! The music isn't unique to Mechagodzilla initially, it's the same theme from two tracks in Planet of the Monsters (which I didn't include due to not being relevant to Mechagodzilla here), but with a larger focus on the ambience and mood of the abandoned city. The main motif is a siren-y, droning sirenlike string note that drifts up and down. It's a very cool, eerie sound that gives this Mechagodzilla a more eerie, sinister edge. It's honestly a really great musical idea, and I think it's a shame it isn't used more throughout. But given how Hattori chose to compose themes for the antagonist aliens AND their kaiju deity for the last two films, I feel its a worthy trade off that expands the thematic palette and gives us some banger themes.TRACKLIST:0:00 Mechagodzilla City3:38 Conflict4:25 City on the Edge of Battle4:28 Nanometal - Hope5:24 Nanometal - Threat8:17 Uncontrollable + Nanometal - Threat8:31 Uncontrollable9:03 Mobilization9:36 Earth's Civilization + Uncontrollable9:40 Agonizing Decision10:21 Uncontrollable ℗ 2018 TOHO CO., LTD #godzilla #godzillamonsterplanet #anime #godzillaanime #monsterverse Join the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43 Support Takayuki Hattori!YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCTpSojSwxAk27CSZG-eumgQApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/takayuki-hattori/41846922Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/76bJYea3ZCMhhO8aF0iU5W?si=k4l9ynsIRk68BJk4D9Diew&utm_source=copy-link Listen to the soundtrack!City on the Edge of Battle OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/0i7viaI3cwrgGh3nUql76mCity on the Edge of Battle OST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB-godzilla-%E6%B1%BA%E6%88%A6%E6%A9%9F%E5%8B%95%E5%A2%97%E6%AE%96%E9%83%BD%E5%B8%82-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF/1383143731The Planet Eater OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1vcogzwFBaT8P1Fi2mLkirThe Planet Eater OST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB-godzilla-%E6%98%9F%E3%82%92%E5%96%B0%E3%81%86%E8%80%85-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF/1440967434 Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Bilusaludo Suite | Godzilla Anime Trilogy (Original Soundtrack) by Takayuki Hattori azc0na 2025-05-17 | The theme of the Bilusaludo aliens is much the same as the sound for Mechagodzilla, but there are different elements that set it apart. There's a main motif that is reprised multiple times throughout their tracks, one that is reprised as a ripping guitar riff that pulsates and drives throughout their later scheming and action scenes. There are various other synth and guitar melodies that occur throughout the show, and it all helps in showing how efficient and determined they are in their pursuit of technological ascendance. It all builds to those pulsating, rhythmic tracks towards the end of this suite, where it reaches a cathartic, malevolent culmination of their drive.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Bilusaludo Technology1:06 Mobilization2:14 City on the Edge of Battle2:31 The Beginning of Runaway3:28 Vulture6:04 Abnormal Evolution7:54 The Beginning of Runway9:45 Bilusaludo Technology*11:09 The Beginning of Runaway11:40 Bilusaludo Rebellion 12:58 Vulture Sortie14:34 Nanometalization14:52 Uncontrollable℗ 2018 TOHO CO., LTD#godzilla #godzillamonsterplanet #anime #godzillaanime #monsterverse Join the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43 Support Takayuki Hattori!YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCTpSojSwxAk27CSZG-eumgQApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/takayuki-hattori/41846922Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/76bJYea3ZCMhhO8aF0iU5W?si=k4l9ynsIRk68BJk4D9Diew&utm_source=copy-link Listen to the soundtrack!City on the Edge of Battle OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/0i7viaI3cwrgGh3nUql76mCity on the Edge of Battle OST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB-godzilla-%E6%B1%BA%E6%88%A6%E6%A9%9F%E5%8B%95%E5%A2%97%E6%AE%96%E9%83%BD%E5%B8%82-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF/1383143731The Planet Eater OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1vcogzwFBaT8P1Fi2mLkirThe Planet Eater OST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB-godzilla-%E6%98%9F%E3%82%92%E5%96%B0%E3%81%86%E8%80%85-%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF/1440967434 Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Elijah & Annie Suite | Sinners (Original Soundtrack) by Ludwig Göransson azc0na 2025-04-22 | One of the standout tracks of the film is played during Elijah and Annie's love making scene, and as it turns out it's a theme for the couple's love and their respective tragedies. Soft guitar strumming followed by a six note plucking motif (one that is synched to Annie striking matches in film!) that grows louder and bolder as the scene progresses, with RNB and later rock elements folding in. It's not played often compared to other themes in the film, but it's a very serene, passionate, and heartfelt theme that captures the romance without forgoing the southern influence deeply ingrained in the sound of the film.TRACKLIST:0:00 Clarksdale Love1:11 Hole Up 'Til Sunrise1:53 Séance5:54 Why You Here / Before the Sun Went Down (feat.

Rocky Road to Dublin Suite | Sinners (Original Soundtrack) by Ludwig Göransson azc0na 2025-04-21 | Wow, Sinners! What an incredible experience this was. Might be not just Coogler's best, but also Ludwig's as well! Such an incredibly rich, beautiful, thoughtful score and film, perfectly harmonious with each element. I have some suites I want to make of this magnificent score, and the first one is the easiest; for the main vampire Remmick, they play the beginning phrases of Rocky Road to Dublin on what seems like a fiddle. It only plays twice, but it helps cement how important his Irish background is to his motivations in the film. Nothing much more to add, other than WOW that Irish jig was a highlight of the film. Riveting filmmaking.TRACKLIST:0:00 Not What He Seems / Sé Abu1:05 Rocky Road to Dublin + Not What He Seems / Sé Abu1:17 Rocky Road to Dublin4:41 Thy Kingdom Come5:03 Magic What We Do (Surreal Montage) + Thy Kingdom Come℗ 2025 Proximity Media LLC, under exclusive license to Sony Classical, a label of Sony Music EntertainmentJoin the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43Support Ludwig Göransson!YouTube - youtube.com/user/ludovinmusicSpotify - open.spotify.com/artist/24eDfi2MSYo3A87hCcgpIL?si=l9cOsdESRAi61fH3LKp8vA&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/ludwig-g%C3%B6ransson/391832320Listen to the Soundtrack!Sinners OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/6PQXsiHd4AjrAqhWLd5HyTSinners OST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/gb/album/sinners-original-motion-picture-score/1806651595Sinners Soundtrack on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/0zjAqh1Fr7XQWy1SlzGhMnSinners Soundtrack on Apple Music - music.apple.com/az/album/sinners-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/1808534010Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Thunderbolt Ross Suite | Captain America: Brave New World (Original Soundtrack) by Laura Karpman azc0na 2025-02-14 | Karpman's score isn't as bad as I feel others make it out to be, but it's not the best thing ever either. Suitable for the film, with some admirable sounds and a fantastic main theme for the film. Ross' theme is very simple, four notes played on piano or strings. It's very sentimental and played with a patriotic tenor that befits Marvel's President of the United States, even if it is admittedly what you'd expect. I do appreciate the way it twists and turns across the film, with some more intense versions and the wildly chaotic versions once he finally unleashes the Red Hulk itself. Blaring brass reprising his two note lead-in, choir chanting and screaming under his might, it's a fantastic twist and mutilation of a once kind motif into something far more ferocious and uncontrollable.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Betty and Ross1:36 Another Visitor2:33 President Ross4:10 Discovery of the Millennium4:21 That's Three + Discovery of the Millennium4:31 That's Three5:39 Heart Talk9:00 Make the Call10:21 All is Not Well10:45 Transformation*13:46 Lure*16:19 Prove It℗ 2025 Marvel Music Inc.#marvel #captainamerica #soundtrack #bravenewworld #harrisonford #mcu #falcon #hulk #redhulk #incrediblehulk #multiverseListen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1hPk939CdYc9Egmksy9sT5?si=QXm2jiVxTp6DoZWzjjavEQApple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/captain-america-brave-new-world-original-motion-picture/1795821594YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l_5oNLx5_M0sgYS3ed_hQFjR_YBittTms&si=DXoAkIZHQF0VlvRYSupport Laura Karpman!Website - laurakarpman.comYouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCsMXMDuroqck2tMAAJbv7_ASpotify - open.spotify.com/artist/13eA4oLnDowghtVUqwSZSD?si=PKZ7OqUDTiG0GHlkZ4Oqpw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/laura-karpman/73511181Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Nosferatu Suite | Nosferatu (Original Soundtrack) by Robin Carolan azc0na 2024-12-27 | Robert Eggers is back to back to back to back with absolute masterpieces, with Nosferatu being one of the best interpretations of the iconic Dracula story. My love for the film can be detailed for pages, but yet I have limited text space and have an incredible theme to showcase as well. Carolan's Nosferatu score has been getting awards, and is on the shortlist of the Academy Award for Best Original Score, and it is his best Eggers collaboration to date. The score revolves around one main motif, one that represents Count Orlok himself as well as the threat he poses for the world at large. It's a very simple four note motif that is twisted and played upon, often acting as a backbone for other motifs to sprout off of. It's played on low, dark strings, cellos, a music box for the opening credits, and a lone child soprano. Throat singing and low choral moaning is also used to enhance the atmosphere, and a whirring, downward droning strings show the twisted nature of his malevolence, the way it distorts and controls those he wills. And as the film progresses, ancient chanting joins him and grows louder and more prominent as his darkness comes. His theme is dark, terrifying, vicious, and perfectly emblematic of the vampyr. But his theme is later used for a more emotional exploration of that motif and the emotions of the film, mainly heard in tracks like Daybreak and Bound. The motif sounds waning, pained, lonely, before a rushing string ostinato carries the weight and tragedy of the moment till it's very end. It's the perfect ending to the film musically, twisting Orlok's motif and turning it into something sorrowful and pained, a reclamation of the curse he poses and the tragedy of Ellen Hutter. I adore this score, and if it's nominated for Best Original Score, it is absolutely getting my vote.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Once Upon a Time0:37 I Know Him*2:40 Dreams Grow Darker4:23 Death, All Around Us5:14 Never Sleep Again7:01 A Curious Mark7:53 That, is the Question8:37 The Vampyr10:08 The Castle11:14 Possession12:12 The Crypt + Possession12:38 The Crypt13:24 Herr Knock + The Crypt13:35 Herr Knock14:37 Shrine15:49 The Inn/Moroi18:47 Covenant19:52 Come to Me + Covenant19:59 Come to Me21:08 Sickness21:47 Covenant24:34 Solomonar25:25 Incantation26:32 The Prince of Rats28:13 Devourance31:41 Come by the Fire32:33 The Monastery33:21 Codex34:04 Solomonar34:54 The Crypt35:36 Despair in my Coming37:23 The First Night42:35 A Carriage Awaits44:47 Possession + A Carriage Awaits45:04 Possession45:57 The Second Night47:33 I Know Him50:08 Wolves at the Door50:38 Lost53:16 Orlok's Shadow53:58 An Arrival54:36 Grünewald55:30 The Third Night57:07 Increase thy Thunders58:10 Come to Me58:31 Daybreak1:00:00 Bound + Daybreak1:00:10 Bound1:04:31 Daybreak℗ 2024 Back Lot Music#nosferatu #roberteggers #dracula #thelighthouse #thenorthman #thewitch #soundtrack #originalsoundtrack #score #originalscoreJoin the Discord!Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43Support Robin Carolan!YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCcMGLabY2qgjrWCw2qKZeHQApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/robin-carolan/1616981817Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/0We3iIO3yy6XpQ7OSxDVnn?si=faJTIcwVRUOjTc1yECRHdQ&utm_source=copy-linkListen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/6qlFrMn86Pj4AiLkialz9xApple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/nosferatu-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/1770089922Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Victor Suite | The Penguin (Original Soundtrack) by Mick Giacchino azc0na 2024-12-09 | Despite not having a lot of variations on the album, Victor's theme does a great job at capturing the sadness of Victor's story. It's a simple three-note piano motif, but it's one of the few wholly pure and genuine emotional themes in the score, and reflects his plight very well. But as Victor plunges deeper into this world, the horror tones of the rest of the score come in to take hold of his theme, suffocating him much in the same way Oz, and this life he chose, do to him.TRACKLIST:0:00 Victor's Suite4:09 VicTory + Victor's Suite4:15 VicTory5:18 Squid Maims℗ 2024 Watertower Music #batman #thebatman #thepenguin #dc #dccomics #hbo #hbomax #warnerbrothers #comicbookmovie #soundtrack #musicSupport Mick Giacchino!YouTube - music.youtube.com/channel/UCsHNlRdcVptLXi8ksly1h_w?si=g95YF64c8-8kQp-6Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/4E0UqUr5zm3CltCdkaKaV0Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/mick-giacchino/1546763850OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/3Iqpj3lrnfMLOwL0FuxXaMOST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/the-penguin-soundtrack-from-the-hbo-original/1777615519OST on YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nedSEoiZO6BuQ6Z8amm4ekAH1qoJm_Eto&si=wQkyjRe6gkqb2IT-Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

The Penguin Suite | The Penguin (Original Soundtrack) by Mick Giacchino azc0na 2024-12-09 | I'm really happy with Mick Giacchino's work on The Penguin! He not only captured the sound and tone of his father's score, but managed to create a wholly unique, original main theme that stands on it's own. Oz's theme is usually preceded by a two note statement on strings (potentially viola, violin, fiddle, or maybe all of the above!), a menacing precession to the other elements of his theme. The most recited part of his theme is his ostinato, a fast five note string pattern that sounds jagged, violent, clumsy, and calculating. Oz's theme is meant to be a scherzo, so his theme is perfect at replicating that sinister edge whilst keeping the more humorous and fun moments of Oz's character conveyed throughout. It's a perfect fit, almost synchronized to the limped walk Oz has throughout the show! But the most subtle part of Oz's theme that doesn't show itself too much until the latter half of the score is his motif, a simple five note theme that is either played tenderly on a harp, or blared on brass in a harsh, brutal manner. It reminds me of how Batman's theme changes to adapt more elements of Bruce's theme throughout that movie, with elements of the latter subtly hinted at in the beginning. But here, it doesn't represent a coming of heroism, but a full-fledged dive into evil, cold-hearted villainy. I love Mick's work on this show, and if he works on The Batman: Part II like he did Part I, I hope he and his father choose to reprise this memorable, fun theme for Farrell's iconic portrayal.TRACKLIST:0:00 Mother of Oz2:13 Oz and Ma3:26 Nose Goes4:54 Crack One Open7:11 Scorn on the Cobb8:45 Family Lies10:48 Pinky and the Slain11:25 Councilman and Cobbs13:27 Crack One Open13:51 Strike a Deal15:36 Strife of the Party17:50 Free Bliss19:46 Shots and Chasers23:01 From the Ashes25:00 Time to Ascend27:32 Bird of Aqua Paradise30:22 Put the Blame on the Maimed35:05 Maroni Exchange37:35 Scorn on the Cobb + Maroni Exchange37:44 Scorn on the Cobb38:58 Scherzo for a Flightless Bird (The Penguin Theme)42:09 VicTory42:48 Family Lies43:14 March of the Penguin℗ 2024 Watertower Music #batman #thebatman #thepenguin #dc #dccomics #hbo #hbomax #warnerbrothers #comicbookmovie #soundtrack #musicSupport Mick Giacchino!YouTube - music.youtube.com/channel/UCsHNlRdcVptLXi8ksly1h_w?si=g95YF64c8-8kQp-6Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/4E0UqUr5zm3CltCdkaKaV0Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/mick-giacchino/1546763850OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/3Iqpj3lrnfMLOwL0FuxXaMOST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/the-penguin-soundtrack-from-the-hbo-original/1777615519OST on YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nedSEoiZO6BuQ6Z8amm4ekAH1qoJm_Eto&si=wQkyjRe6gkqb2IT-Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Sofia Gigante Suite | The Penguin (Original Soundtrack) by Mick Giacchino azc0na 2024-12-09 | One of the standout characters from The Penguin, Sofia's theme is the second most prominent in the show's soundtrack. A simple five note motif, it's great at evoking the tragedy of Sofia's life while being able to portray the darker pits her actions force her into. Usually played on sentimental, fragile instruments, it shifts into harsher plucks and ugly, rooted brass in her worst moments. Accompanying her is a distorted three note string motif that sounds truly hideous and unnerving, and in her more chaotic moments a two-note rising string ostinato blaring in a siren-like fashion. It's not as iconic of a theme as Oz's, but it perfectly portrays the complexities of Sofia's character throughout the show.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Getting Even0:06 Pinky and the Slain1:47 Getting Even4:59 Family Lies7:57 Sofia's Suite + Family Lies8:13 Sofia's Suite11:08 Arrested Developments + Sofia's Suite11:23 Arrested Developments14:10 Sofia's Suite15:31 Slammer Time + Sofia's Suite15:37 Slammer Time15:51 Driving Miss Crazy17:10 Pinky and the Slain + Driving Miss Crazy*17:28 Pinky and the Slain19:04 Sofia Gigante21:38 Slammer Time22:44 Maroni Exchange22:33 Driving Miss Crazy25:55 Trial by Liar℗ 2024 Watertower Music #batman #thebatman #thepenguin #dc #dccomics #hbo #hbomax #warnerbrothers #comicbookmovie #soundtrack #musicSupport Mick Giacchino!YouTube - music.youtube.com/channel/UCsHNlRdcVptLXi8ksly1h_w?si=g95YF64c8-8kQp-6Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/4E0UqUr5zm3CltCdkaKaV0Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/mick-giacchino/1546763850OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/3Iqpj3lrnfMLOwL0FuxXaMOST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/the-penguin-soundtrack-from-the-hbo-original/1777615519OST on YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nedSEoiZO6BuQ6Z8amm4ekAH1qoJm_Eto&si=wQkyjRe6gkqb2IT-Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

The Rings of Power Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-11-16 | Unveiled in full during the finale of season one, the theme for the Rings of Power doesn't just represent the titular rings, but also Mordor and the machinations of Sauron. It's a theme as majestic as it is ominous, presenting wonder and beauty as a shield to hide the wickedness behind its existence. Along with the rushing ostinato representing its power and the forging of the rings, there's a simpler two-note ostinato that's played in reference to Sauron's plotting in Eregion when constructing the rings. It's such a beautiful, resonant theme that perfectly captures what makes the rings so scary and foreboding, and Bear manages to twist it in so many different ways that add depth to its sound. And one can only imagine the dread that must come from this theme once the iconic One Ring is forged in the fires of Mount Doom next season.

Galadriel Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-11-15 | Galadriel's theme is one of Bear's best themes to date, a heroic theme able to sound brave and resilient yet graceful and emotional. It perfectly captures the fantastical wonder of Tolkein's world, and I'm very happy with it being played throughout season two in interesting ways. The ostinato is played more, the heroic action versions have more of a focus on exploring that motif, and there's a stronger feeling of identity with woodwinds and lone brass being the sole mechanisms used to portray her theme.* = edited/rearranged TRACKLIST:0:00 Círdan0:08 Invitation to Eregion0:51 Círdan1:05 Shadow and Flame1:27 The Legions of Adar1:43 The Orc Camp2:12 The Light of Celebrimbor2:46 The Sûzat3:17 Wounds That Have Endured4:05 Glimpses of the Unseen World + Wounds That Have Endured4:14 Glimpses of the Unseen World4:38 War at the Wall4:58 Shadow and Flame6:59 Invitation to Eregion7:17 Deceit in the Craft7:32 Galadriel Stands Alone8:16 The Last Hope for All Middle-earth8:39 The White Flame9:03 The Rings of Power - London Premiere Season One Fanfare + The White Flame9:07 The Rings of Power - London Premiere Season One Fanfare*10:32 Galadriel Stands Alone11:13 The Rings of Power - Season One Overture + Galadriel Stands Alone11:16 The Rings of Power - Season One Overture11:58 Caras Gaer + The Rings of Power - Season One Overture12:02 The Sun Yet Shines12:52 The Rings of Power - Season One Overture13:33 The Fall of Galadriel*14:50 Last Temptation15:16 The Fall of Galadriel*15:42 The Rings of Power - London Premiere Season One Fanfare + The Fall of Galadriel15:45 The Fall of Galadriel*17:11 The Battle for Eregion Begins*18:31 No Passage for Low Men ℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd. #lordoftherings #theringsofpower #soundtrack Support Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1 Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxM Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Elrond Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-11-12 | Elrond's theme was defined by it's kind, calm, and tender sound, played in either quiet contemplative moments or scenes where Elrond's warmth shines through. This theme continues the same emotional tone from season one, but as Bear stated in his season one blogs, it's true strength begins to show itself in its versatility. With Elrond front and center as the leader of the armies into Eregion, and leads a group of elven rangers through dangerous territory, his theme becomes emboldened by pure heroics. Blaring on brass, bolstered by an orchestra, desperately fighting against the rising drums of Adar, or being sung somberly by a child soprano in his most dire moments. McCreary has shown that his theme is much more than tender and kind; it's utterly heroic in the ways Elrond always has been.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Círdan0:31 Despair Under the Mountain0:50 Before Darkness Blinds Us All1:22 The Sûzat2:17 Dwarven Loyalty4:04 The Last Hope for All Middle-Earth*4:20 Elves Embark4:44 Shadow and Flame5:07 Disa in the Depths5:10 Never Make War in Anger5:25 The Fall of Galadriel5:43 Gil-galad’s Vision5:48 Battle for Eregion6:15 Deceit in the Craft6:52 The Battle for Eregion Begins*7:51 Lair of the Barrow-wights*8:11 War at the Wall9:24 Damrod*9:34 Never Make War in Anger9:56 The Fall of Galadriel℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd.#lordoftherings #theringsofpower #soundtrackSupport Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxMCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Durin IV Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-11-11 | Durin's theme is one of the few that stays relatively the same in season two, the only difference being a lack of the jovial ostinato that drove the more humorous moments with him and his family. His theme is still folkish in nature, yet carries a heavy heart and burden that Durin himself carries. His theme is mixed in with the marching rhythm of Khazad-dûm however, and as the two fit together like a puzzle piece in the last few episodes, it has me wondering if the two themes will merge more often than not with the coming reign Durin IV shall rule over in the future.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Mithril for Rings0:11 Catastrophe at Khazad-dûm0:40 Despair Under the Mountain1:39 Shadow and Flame2:03 Deceit in the Craft + Shadow and Flame2:07 Deceit in the Craft2:28 True Wealth of the Mountain2:48 Funeral Pyre and Reconciliation3:28 Tempest of Bats5:03 Dwarven Loyalty5:39 Disa in the Depths6:10 Dwarven Loyalty7:38 The Orc Camp7:59 Tempest of Bats8:18 True Wealth of the Mountain*8:32 Deceit in the Craft9:00 The Fall of Galadriel9:10 The Orc Camp*℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd.#lordoftherings #theringsofpower #soundtrackSupport Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxMCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

The Stranger Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-11-05 | The Stranger... well, now Gandalf's theme was one of my favorite themes from season one. Such a beautiful, mystical theme that encompassed the wonder and heart of the character perfectly. In season two, his theme feels a bit more refined, characterized by lamentful string segments and utterly wistful orchestral flourishes. While we don't get a lot of it compared to season one, it's still an absolute joy to hear this theme continue to grow and mature alongside the character.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Meeting Tom Bombadil0:13 Sandstorm at the Well1:14 Eldest2:26 Trees of Stone2:49 The Gaudrim + Trees of Stone2:54 The Gaudrim3:25 Meeting Tom Bombadil4:13 Bow or Bleed + Tempest of Bats4:22 Bow or Bleed4:59 The Secret Fire*5:41 Eldest6:33 The Rings of Power - Title Announcement Trailer6:39 Confronting the Dark Wizard + The Rings of Power - Title Announcement Trailer6:50 The Rings of Power - Title Announcement Trailer7:29 Before Darkness Blinds Us All9:14 The Rings of Power - Season One Overture10:02 Confronting the Dark Wizard10:23 Shadow and Flame11:05 The Staff℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd.#lordoftherings #theringsofpower #soundtrackSupport Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxMCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Nori Brandyfoot Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-11-04 | It's a shame, Nori's theme was one of the highlights of season one's score for me and it's not used nearly as much in season two. It's not McCreary's fault at all, for he needed to give her that amount of limelight in order to allow his newer themes for Rhûn and the Stoors truly take shape and become iconic in their own right. I welcome that sacrifice, and also like the times that Nori's theme does play within the show. It has a lot of fun, playful versions of its ostinato, very bouncy and full of life.

Arondir Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-11-01 | Not much to comment on with Arondir's theme in season two. It strays from the typical romantic variations, which make sense due to the off-screen passing of Bronwyn, and instead offers a lot more action-focused and bombastic cues. It feels very much like classic Hollywood in it's sound and bravado, but I appreciate the few emotional variations we get in tracks like Snaggleroot and Winterbloom, or the beautifully tragic The Pyre.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Isildur and Estrid0:17 The Pyre (feat.

Estrid Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-30 | Accompanying Isildur in his D-plot is Estrid, someone who flirts between romance and treachery with each passing moment. To encapsulate her character to the best of his ability, Bear did what he always does best; create a damn catchy folksy theme for the Southlander. Estrid's theme begins with an ostinato in the form of guitar plucking, similar to Isildur's but in a far brighter tone and accompanied by fiddle chords. Her melody itself is bright, wistful, and romantic, and does a great job at capturing not just her homesake, but also the romantic foil she poses to Isildur. As we learn more of Estrid, and become suspicious of her actions, her theme takes on far more conflicted, off variations that utilize the hardinger fiddle playing her motif in lower, menacing tones.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Mud Beast1:07 Snaggleroot and Winterbloom1:29 Isildur and Estrid1:46 Snaggleroot and Winterbloom2:41 No Passage for Low Men2:55 The Road to Pelargir3:32 Estrid6:38 No Passage for Low Men*℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd.#lordoftherings #theringsofpower #soundtrackSupport Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxMCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Tom Bombadil Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-28 | After decades of being left behind by the adaptations of Tolkein, Tom Bombadil finally makes his live action debut in the second season of The Rings of Power. For his theme, Bear wished to create something wistful and jovial whilst portraying his wisdom and age. His main theme/melody is instantly recognizable and catchy, played on woodwinds and fiddles. Alongside the melody is his ostinato, a bouncy raindrum-esque sound that's backed by the chords, almost always hummed by a low male choir. Altogether, Bear accomplishes the necessary components of a Bombadil theme, having the sound be happy and whimsical and managing to capture the heart and beauty that lies in that character. There are several song variations of his theme, some being the main song sung by Rufus Wainwright (whom Bear previously worked with on his album The Singularity), and a shorter and stripped back version sung by Bear's wife and voice of Goldberry, Raya Yarbrough. But my personal favorite is the one sung by Bombadil and Gandalf themselves at the end of the show; a warm, fuzzy note that truly captures the beauty of Tolkein songs.* = edited/rearranged TRACKLIST:0:00 The River-daughter (feat.

Gil-galad Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-26 | In all honesty, I don't think this is going to be the eventual Gil-galad theme Bear mentioned in his blogs for season one, but it's the closest thing we have and I already made the thumbnail so it's too late lol. Anyways, Golden Leaves was a song created for the show, sung by Benjamin Walker as a lament for the elves' time in Middle-earth. Supported by ethereal bells and chimes, the main core of the theme is supported by Walker's hauntingly beautiful vocals. Imperative yet gentle, strong yet broken, the song does a beautiful job at painting the lament the elves of Lindon face during this time of crisis. Interestingly enough, Bear reuses the motif during the first scene with Gil-galad, played on brass and woodwinds. Whether or not this becomes the Gil-galad theme Bear teased in his initial blogs is yet to be seen, though I would personally love it. Outside of its sorrowful nature, there is enough regality and strength behind the melodic structure for it to fit the high king as he prepares for war.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 The Last Hope for All Middle-earth*1:11 Three Rings for the Elven Kings2:14 Golden Leaves (feat.

Halbrand Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-25 | Not a long suite, nor a long description given the theme doesn't evolve past my initial thoughts on it before; the Halbrand/Southlands theme does an incredible job at conveying the folksy heroism that Halbrand represents, whilst conveying the aspirations of the Southland people and their perseverance through hardship. It's been documented and explored well enough by now that Halbrand's theme is Sauron's theme played backwards, and I do think that's only a testament to Bear's writing ability; being able to completely change the meaning of a theme even through simple processes like reversing the melody or changing the key/main instrument.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Dawn of the Second Age1:14 Bow or Bleed1:23 Dawn of the Second Age + Bow or Bleed1:26 Dawn of the Second Age2:02 My Name is Not Halbrand2:31 The Legions of Adar2:46 The Fall of Galadriel*℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd.#theringsofpower #thelordoftherings #lotr #rop #bearmccreary #soundtrack #scoreSupport Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxMCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

The Faithful Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-24 | Initially labeled as the theme for Elendil and Isildur on the first season album, Bear's blogs after the fact revealed the true nature of this theme to belong to that of the Faithful. With that knowledge in mind, the theme has a far deeper resonance than it did before. Not only does this song depict the heroism, goodness, and melancholy of the tale of Elendil and Isildur, but it now speaks for all of the Faithful fighting on as Pharazon's iron hand aims to wipe them out. There are so many fantastic variations of this theme throughout the season, keeping its wistful guitar strums and solo brass from last season to invoke the same mood as last season. But there are further stakes to the Faithful's tale, with that coming more urgent variations that speak to their unwillingness to stand down against the threat of Númenor. There's even a beautiful, haunting vocal rendition of theme by Clydene Jackson that burns the mournful tragedy of the Faithful into your ears through her performance.* = edited/rearranged TRACKLIST:0:00 Númenórean Grief0:35 The Road to Pelargir + Númenórean Grief0:38 The Road to Pelargir1:04 Gazing to Eressëa1:53 Númenórean Grief + Gazing to Eressëa1:56 Númenórean Grief2:20 No Passage for Low Men2:55 Isildur and Estrid + No Passage for Low Men2:59 Isildur and Estrid4:54 No Passage for Low Men5:19 Gazing to Eressëa + No Passage for Low Men5:22 Gazing to Eressëa6:57 Shelob's Nest*8:15 The Road to Pelargir* + Shelob's Nest8:22 The Road to Pelargir8:51 Trial by Abyss + The Road to Pelargir8:56 Trial by Abyss10:31 Assault on the Faithful (feat.

Stoors Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-23 | With the Stoors, Bear decided not to take the easy way out and reprise the Harfoots theme. Instead, he created a whole new theme for the Stoors that better fits their culture and environment. Their A theme is played on a hammered dulcimer, giving a perfect desert flare whilst still portraying the Stoors as witty yet wise. They contain all of the other instruments of the Harfoot themes, but their twisted to better suit Rhûn and that desert locale. Their B theme, usually played on whistles and fiddle, conveys the warmth and love that the Harfoots come to represent in the show. While the theme isn't in the show a whole lot due to their limited appearances, I feel Bear created a very striking, memorable, and frankly lovely theme that adds another fresh wrinkle into the Harfoot musical soundscape.* = edited/rearranged TRACKLIST:0:00 Shadow and Flame*1:20 The Secret Fire*3:04 Concering Stoors7:18 Concering Stoors (Album Version) ℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd. #theringsofpower #thelordoftherings #lotr #rop #bearmccreary #soundtrack #scoreSupport Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1 Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxM Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Ents Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-22 | So, funny thing. This is one of the only themes that doesn't have it's own concert arrangement on the original album. The Ents have a quaint little motif in season two, being a rapid clocking sound of wood blocks. Almost any scene with them is underscored by that sound, and it's very effective at creating good tension while also paying homage to their natural roots. The wood clocking is eventually turned into something far slower, more soothing, and overall beautiful once we get to understand the tragedy of the Ents. Joined by female choir and gorgeous strings, it's one of my favorite standalone tracks in the show, encapsulating the beauty and melancholy of Tolkein's world so well.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 The Wild Men*0:40 Mud Beast1:17 The Wild Men1:46 Snaggleroot and Winterbloom*5:43 The Light of Celebrimbor℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd.#theringsofpower #thelordoftherings #lotr #rop #bearmccreary #soundtrack #scoreSupport Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxMCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Sauron Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-21 | Sauron's theme from season one grabbed so many people, including me, with its hideously evil, infested sound. While I loved how it was used in season one, going into season two I wondered; can this theme last a full five season show without getting potentially stale? The answer is yes. As Bear stated himself, this season was about contextualizing the character of Sauron whereas season one's use of the theme was to contextualize the idea of Sauron. The child soprano from the end of season one returns as one of Sauron's key musical signatures, it draws understanding and depth, yet it sounds more like a cry for help than a genuine kind of emotional exploration, which works perfectly for him. What Bear does so well during his time as Annatar is play Sauron's theme in a major key, turning what was once this evil and malicious melody into something far more wondrous and awe-inspiring. Bear also uses the B-theme from Sauron's concert suite as the theme for Annatar, conveying his majesty with an underlying sense of suspicion. The varied explorations of his theme make it so the typical choir and ostinato reprisals of his theme feel so much more evil and wicked, and with it his theme feels much more alive. I was hesitant to say it after season one, but after season two I can confidently say that this is the best villain theme Bear McCreary has ever made in his career.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 To Serve the Lord of Mordor*0:43 The Crown of Morgoth1:24 To Serve the Lord of Mordor1:37 Before Darkness Blinds Us All2:20 Bow or Bleed2:36 Dawn of the Second Age*3:49 The Crown of Morgoth4:27 Celebrimbor's Burden + The Crown of Morgoth4:34 Dawn of the Second Age5:07 The Legions of Adar + Dawn of the Second Age5:11 The Legions of Adar*5:41 Mirdania Emerges6:58 Gil-galad’s Vision7:33 Dawn of the Second Age10:31 Glimpses of the Unseen World*10:58 My Name is Not Halbrand11:52 Mirdania Emerges12:21 Sauron's Illusion + My Name is Not Halbrand + Mirdania Emerges12:27 My Name is Not Halbrand15:05 Sauron's Illusion15:44 Sauron and Celebrimbor + Sauron's Illusion15:48 Sauron and Celebrimbor16:07 Celebrimbor's Burden + Sauron and Celebrimbor16:18 The Light of Celebrimbor17:22 Tempest of Bats17:35 Mithril for Rings17:57 Celebrimbor's Burden + Mithril for Rings18:03 Celebrimbor's Burden18:32 The Legions of Adar19:17 Dawn of the Second Age19:43 Gil-galad’s Vision19:50 The Great Eagle and the Forging20:32 My Name is Not Halbrand + The Great Eagle and the Forging20:39 My Name is Not Halbrand21:20 Nine for Mortal Men21:40 War at the Wall + Nine for Mortal Men21:44 Wounds That Have Endured22:17 Shattered Illusion22:36 The Orc Camp22:48 Númenórean Grief + The Orc Camp22:53 The Fall of Galadriel23:44 Shattered Illusion24:17 The Fall of Galadriel24:27 Glimpses of the Unseen World + The Fall of Galadriel24:32 Glimpses of the Unseen World*25:03 Catastrophe at Khazad-dûm26:06 Trial by Abyss26:30 Caras Gaer + Trial by Abyss26:35 Celebrimbor's Burden26:57 Dawn of the Second Age + Celebrimbor's Burden27:12 Dawn of the Second Age27:34 Sauron and Celebrimbor27:49 The Fall of Galadriel28:37 Tempest of Bats + The Fall of Galadriel28:41 The Siege Begins + Tempest of Bats28:51 The Siege Begins*30:22 The Rings of Power - Season Two Overture31:39 The Legions of Adar31:51 Dawn of the Second Age*33:00 The Fall of Galadriel*33:41 The Rings of Power - Season Two Overture + The Fall of Galadriel33:46 Sauron's Design35:46 The Rings of Power - London Premiere Fanfare36:36 The Rings of Power - Season One Overture37:08 Last Temptation + Durin's Bane37:12 Last Temptation37:27 The Fall of Galadriel*39:09 My Name is Not Halbrand + The Fall of Galadriel39:16 My Name is Not Halbrand39:53 Three Rings for the Elven Kings℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd.#theringsofpower #thelordoftherings #lotr #rop #bearmccreary #soundtrack #scoreSupport Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxMCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Adar Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-20 | Adar's theme was one of my favorite character themes from season one of The Rings of Power, and I'm happy that for season two, Bear managed to elevate upon it and truly cement the textures and ideas that make it work so well. Adar's theme is now almost always played through a native american flute to cement both his tragedy and otherworldliness, and as the season progresses his theme starts to take on more tragic and sorrowful figures that perfectly convey his complexities and deeper feelings. While his theme is able to be expanded upon in numerous new emotional settings, it's hard to deny just how badass Bear has made Nampat this season, arguably moreso than season one. Adar's orc chant/march is now his permanent action representative, the percussive drum beats battling on as the chanting shouts atop the chaos, the march twisting and turning from subtle, tense variations into versions so frantic and chaotic it hardly retains it's original shape. It's truly astounding to see Bear elaborate on this theme for season two, and in a way that sounds not just more confident in its soundscape, but also so rife with the menace, tragedy, and nuance that a character like Adar deserves.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 The Orc Camp0:08 Wounds That Have Endured*2:06 The Crown of Morgoth2:40 My Name is Not Halbrand + The Crown of Morgoth2:45 The Legions of Adar2:59 The Orc Camp3:29 The Legions of Adar + The Orc Camp3:33 Mithril for Rings3:51 The Legions of Adar4:21 Bow or Bleed4:48 To Serve the Lord of Mordor + Bow or Bleed4:54 To Serve the Lord of Mordor5:48 The Orc Camp5:57 Círdan6:17 Dawn of the Second Age6:40 Bow or Bleed*7:52 The Fall of Galadriel8:44 The Orc Camp10:17 The Crown of Morgoth11:50 Dawn of the Second Age12:35 The Legions of Adar13:37 Deciet in the Craft*14:33 Nine for Mortal Men15:32 Nine for Mortal Men + Never Make War in Anger15:36 Galadriel Stands Alone*16:37 Army of Orcs16:52 The Legions of Adar*17:40 War at the Wall17:49 Never Make War in Anger18:29 The Battle for Eregion Begins19:04 Nine for Mortal Men19:27 The Battle for Eregion Begins*19:51 Damrod20:03 The Battle for Eregion Begins20:10 War at the Wall*20:30 The Siege Begins*21:12 Army of Orcs22:16 The White Flame*22:50 The Battle for Eregion Begins + The White Flame22:55 Never Make War in Anger*24:11 Wounds That Have Endured℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd.#theringsofpower #thelordoftherings #lotr #rop #bearmccreary #soundtrack #scoreSupport Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxMCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Damrod Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-19 | Heavy metal and Tolkein have had an interesting history, oddly intertwined throughout the decades as his writings inspired bands and vocalists to channel that mythology into their work. When Damrod came on screen, Bear saw it fit that he needed to get collaborator Jens Kidman to implement some heavy metal sounds into Damrod's theme. A simple four note motif blares on horn, swirling strings conveying the utter chaos and terror of the troll, and the pounding drums of legendary drummer Gene Hoglan. But what makes this theme stick out are the shrieking vocals of Kidman, perfectly conveying the rage, ugliness, and intensity that Damrod imposes. This theme is the most controversial music in Rings of Power thus far, and while I was hesitant at first, I feel this theme is one of my favorite minor new themes introduced in season two. It's scary, it's aggressive, and is able to implement the metal ties with Tolkein without forgoing the sound of Rings of Power too drastically. If you can make heavy metal work THIS GOOD in a Lord of the Rings show, then the sky's the limit.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Enter Damrod (feat.

Khazad-dûm Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-18 | The Khazad-dûm was one of the big highlights amongst fans of season one, and while it was already an iconic piece of Tolkein music after that season aired, I believe season two cemented it as such. With the involvement of the Rings in Khazad-dûm, the once noble, passionate, hearty theme of the Dwarven kingdom now turns far darker and wary. Now played in a minor key, it's entire meaning and effect shifts as King Durin III goes mad over the ring's power. It's a fascinating transition, and Bear does it in such a subtle, effective way. While not a piece of the Khazad-dûm theme, the final moment between Durin III and the Balrog is underscored by an emotional, gutwrenching ostinato performed over low male voices, a fittingly grand and righteous sendoff to a tormented king now turning over to the light.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 Seven for the Dwarf-lords0:16 Catastrophe at Khazad-dûm0:23 Funeral Pyre and Reconciliation1:47 Despair Under the Mountain3:57 True Wealth of the Mountain4:30 Shadow and Flame4:54 Deceit in the Craft5:55 True Wealth of the Mountain*7:22 Disa in the Depths8:37 Tempest of Bats + Disa in the Depths*8:47 Disa in the Depths9:27 True Wealth of the Mountain9:40 Seven for the Dwarf-lords*11:37 Invitation to Eregion12:03 Tempest of Bats12:27 Disa in the Depths + Tempest of Bats12:32 Disa in the Depths12:54 Tempest of Bats13:49 Seven for the Dwarf-lords + Tempest of Bats13:55 Seven for the Dwarf-lords15:20 Dwarven Loyalty16:50 The Fall of Galadriel17:03 True Wealth of the Mountain + The Fall of Galadriel17:06 True Wealth of the Mountain17:15 Durin's Bane℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd.#theringsofpower #thelordoftherings #lotr #rop #bearmccreary #soundtrack #scoreSupport Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxMCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Eregion Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-17 | Eregion is the big centerpiece for which all of the season's most important moments happen in; the forging of the Rings, the Siege of Eregion, and the rise of Sauron as the new Dark Lord of Mordor. McCreary created a theme for Eregion that harkened back to other elven themes, using a pastoral children's choir and a noble octave leap from the Valinor and Galadriel scores respectively. The main melody is also accompanied by fluttering tremolo strings akin to butterflies, McCreary stating he was inspired by Debussy and Ravel's work for the sound. Eregion's theme captures the serene and beautiful atmosphere of the elven city, while still containing that bitter taste of melancholy. As the season progresses and we see what is at stake with Eregion, it's theme is twisted into far more tragic, heartbreaking variations that only point to the underlying tragedy of its role in Middle-earth history.* = edited/rearranged TRACKLIST:0:00 Sauron's Illusion0:43 Unveiling the Doors of Durin2:50 Glimpses of the Unseen World3:46 My Name is Not Halbrand*5:10 Eregion8:44 Celebrimbor's Burden*10:47 My Name is Not Halbrand10:11 Emissary at the Forge11:11 The Light of Celebrimbor11:56 Nine for Mortal Men ℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd. #theringsofpower #thelordoftherings #lotr #rop #bearmccreary #soundtrack #scoreSupport Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1 Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxM Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Númenor Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-16 | Númenor's theme is one of the standout themes in The Rings of Power, being by FAR the location theme with the most reprises throughout season one. In season two, Númenor takes a back seat to the other plotlines, yet Bear still finds a way to weave in the musical growth of Númenor to prepare for what will come later. While just as majestic, grand, and ancient as it once sounded in season one, the theme leans towards a darker slant given the rulership of the devious Ar-Pharazon. The percussive beat becomes even more prominent, as do harsher sounds of the duduk/tambur/cello string hybrid sear through the militant propulsion. Even in Pharazon's greatest show of power and worthiness, the Númenor theme is swamped with male choir and ends the melody on a minor note. While we don't have much of the theme compared to last season, Bear continues proving why this theme is so effective and iconic already... as well as teasing where this theme is heading farther down the line.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 The White Flame0:41 Númenorean Grief1:15 Gazing to Eressëa1:58 Accused in Númenor + Gazing to Eressëa2:01 Accused in Númenor2:15 Gazing to Eressëa3:23 No Passage for Low Men3:50 The White Flame4:02 No Passage for Low Men4:34 Accused in Númenor + No Passage for Low Men4:38 Accused in Númenor5:03 Trial by Abyss5:20 Númenorean Grief + Trial by Abyss5:25 Númenorean Grief6:10 The Great Eagle and the Forging7:17 Accused in Númenor8:00 The White Flame + Accused in Númenor8:07 The White Flame*8:47 The Great Eagle and the Forging9:52 The Great Eagle℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd.#theringsofpower #thelordoftherings #lotr #rop #bearmccreary #soundtrack #scoreSupport Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxMCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Rhûn Suite | The Rings of Power: Season Two (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-15 | With the land of Rhûn introduced in season two of Rings of Power, McCreary found a new musical texture to separate the region from the rest of the lands of Middle-earth; the Bulgarian women's choir. Along with the elegant, haunting vocals is the usage of an instrument called a gadulka, which acts as the driving instrument for the theme's propulsing ostinato. It's fascinating to see how far Bear pushes the soundtrack of The Rings of Power, and how it still feels cohesive and form-fitting. Rhûn's theme conveys the desert region perfectly, yet there's an age and mystery to the vocals that tell of a land absorbed in its own history and time separate from the bindings of Middle-earth. It also has enough of a villainous edge to support the Dark Wizard and his Gaudrim, with that gadulka ostinato giving them a dangerous, foreign sound that winds throughout their pursuit of the Stranger. It's a great new theme added to the Rings of Power registry, and the potential of where Bear could take it in the future make me even more excited.* = edited/rearranged TRACKLIST:0:00 Confronting the Dark Wizard1:39 The Dark Wizard2:31 Shadow and Flame2:59 The Dark Wizard4:13 Caras Gaer + The Dark Wizard4:16 The Gaudrim4:47 Eldest5:32 Warning in the Words6:27 The Secret Fire6:47 Confronting the Dark Wizard7:02 The Gaudrim8:01 Caras Gaer + The Gaudrim8:12 Caras Gaer10:13 Before Darkness Blinds Us All*10:57 Rhûn (feat.

This Wandering Day Suite | The Rings of Power (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-14 | Another song from season one that became a leitmotif throughout the show, This Wandering Day was a traveling song sung by Poppy that has greater significance and meaning in the second season; not just in reference to the song's significance in direction to Rhûn, but as a song for hobbitfolk in general. It's a comfy, catchy melody with the soundscape of the usual Harfoot themes, but it has the heart and joy that make these Tolkein songs remain in the hearts of fans to this day.* = edited/rearrangedTRACKLIST:0:00 This Wandering Day (feat.

Nolwa Mahtar Suite | Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Original Soundtrack) by Bear McCreary azc0na 2024-10-03 | In season one, Bear created a piece of music for Galadriel's pursuit of Adar. It was an epic, sweeping track that Bear didn't think would show up again, though he would say in his blogs that if he could find a way to grow it into a theme he would. So came season two, and now Nolwa Mahtar has become it's own theme designated for the heroics and bravery of its elven characters. Nolwa Mahtar is almost always played through strong brass notes propelled by a loud elven choir, it's lyrics urging the heroes to fight on and seize the day. Fast, frenetic strings also lace themselves within the action, propulsion the action to greater heights and intensity. While the track is undoubtedly epic in sound, what makes the theme so much more impactful to me is the heart and bravery that lays underneath. Its the musical epitome and the elves, and even all of Middle-earth's, fight against the darkness, and the hope that drives them forward all the way to the final confrontation with Sauron in Mordor.* = edited/rearranged TRACKLIST:0:00 The Last Hope for All Middle-earth*0:10 The Rings of Power - London Premiere Season One Fanfare*1:29 The Rings of Power - Season One Overture1:51 The Battle for Eregion Begins*3:35 War at the Wall + The Battle for Eregion Begins3:41 War at the Wall4:41 Damrod*5:15 Never Make War in Anger5:54 Last Temptation6:10 Nolwa Mahtar7:29 The Rings of Power - Season One Overture7:49 The Rings of Power - London Premiere Season One Fanfare8:11 The Sun Yet Shines* ℗ 2024 Amazon Music Content, under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment Ltd. #lordoftherings #theringsofpower #soundtrack Support Bear McCreary!Website - bearmccreary.comYouTube - youtube.com/user/bearmccrearyApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/bear-mccreary/204012062Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/1k5g35tSjZE4Rqqa96mbq1?si=_m-s8A6CT86nRUlWcSZDXw&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1 Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2Oe6kYDU9YQhun0YrXL9eV?si=O_tWO0zyT_CwP1yIs37N8QApple Music -music.apple.com/us/album/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power/1762849570YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lpixtr6FuwknSeHPb46xPgehSncUVbZSU&si=zU_gNxN1Mosq-GxM Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Transformers One Suite | Transformers One (Original Soundtrack) by Brian Tyler azc0na 2024-09-30 | Tyler has been working on a lot of big animated films the last few years, his most obvious success being his score to the Mario movie. And in 2024, he returns to the Transformers franchise after he composed the beloved score for Transformers Prime. While I don't have a history with his Prime score, I really like his work on Transformers One, mostly the main theme for the film itself. Usually preceded by a three note theme statement, it immediately sets the tone of wonder, mystique, and that sci-fi tonality that defines the film. It's nothing inherently unique but the instrumentation and effect the brief motif has sets the tone perfectly. The main theme itself is instantly iconic; a heroic, sweeping melody that sounds just as adventurous and awe-inspiring as you'd expect from a Transformers score. It sounds like that of an aspiring hero, yet has the bravado and urgency to make it feel not generically heroic, but heroic in the sense of facing something larger than yourself; defying the odds you're faced with and remaining triumphant. Given the themes of the movie and the way Orion and his friends rise up against the tyranny of their system, it makes sense the main theme of the film would carry that same aura. It's one of my personal favorite themes in the Transformers series, and while it hasn't reached the maturity and iconic nature of Jablonsky's works, I feel as the sequels progress it'll reach a similar status for sure.* = edited/rearranged TRACKLIST:0:00 Resting Place of the Primes0:15 Memory of the Forgotten2:01 Resting Place of the Primes4:30 Destiny of the Primes + Resting Place of the Primes4:35 Destiny of the Primes6:41 Trespaxxing8:40 Together as One10:44 Orion Pax12:36 Escape to the Surface13:17 Echelon Now16:13 Metal to the Petal17:49 The Contenders19:30 Destiny of the Primes*21:52 New Cog Potential23:45 Birth of the Primes + New Cog Potential23:52 Birth of the Primes26:34 Transformers One Theme29:46 The Ultimate Betrayal30:27 Hidden Truth30:44 The Ultimate Betrayal30:49 Starscream31:33 Metal to the Petal32:31 Sealed Fate32:58 More Than Meets the Eye34:24 Coming of the Guard34:34 The Battle for Cybertron34:44 Battle of the Titans*35:28 More Than Meets the Eye*36:48 Prime Reason*37:43 The Fall*40:37 I Am Optimus Prime*42:40 Transformers One Theme43:14 Transformers One End Titles44:10 Transformers One Theme℗ 2014 Paramount Music Inc.#transformers #transformersone #paramount #robotsindisguise #megatron #orionpax #optimusprime Support Brian Tyler!Website - briantyler.comYouTube - youtube.com/@BrianTylerComposerApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/brian-tyler/58712771Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/109FvbnDVNag1UcJDVpFlr?si=JzgMbAXeSPuX7CJkiNvcFA&dd=1 Listen to the soundtrack!Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/6UrkcU0NjFoaY1zcZMfz4HApple Music - YouTube Music - music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kh2VMygFghSe7S5FesjjxOdPADVT49VRI&si=Hwc_qMuO6a-5Ao9JCopyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Kong Suite | Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (Original Soundtrack) by Tom Holkenborg azc0na 2024-07-07 | Been a long time coming but I finally finished it; Kong's suite from GxK. It's been a mix of both business in my day to day as well as a lack of motivation to do it, but after a long time coming its done. Kong's theme is the same as it was in Godzilla vs Kong, with the rising seven note figure for Kong and the six note somber motif that represents both Kong and Jia. There isn't much to comment on, but I really appreciate more versatility used in the score for Kong's theme. Whether it be more tribal percussion, or a better usage of the synth elements, Kong's theme has a much more striking palette. But the biggest change that I appreciate is how much more heroic it sounds. In it's heights, it truly sounds like the theme for an unwavering hero, and given Kong's journey in the film it adds necessary thematic and emotional weight necessary for his character.* = edited/rearranged TRACKLIST:0:00 IWI Findings0:35 Broken2:00 You Are My Home3:08 Desperate Escape3:26 Broken3:36 New Entrances and Encounters4:26 New Kingdom4:39 He's Arriving - Devastation4:44 New Entrances and Encounters + He's Arriving - Devastation4:48 New Entrances and Encounters5:33 Myth and Ritual5:43 New Kingdom*6:07 Godzilla x Kong - The New Empire (Main Title Theme)7:14 Tech Project Upgrade + Godzilla x Kong - The New Empire (Main Title Theme)7:19 Tech Project Upgrade*9:52 You Are My Home10:09 He's Arriving - Devastation*10:41 Godzilla x Kong - The New Empire (Main Title Theme)11:29 Tech Project Upgrade + Godzilla x Kong - The New Empire (Main Title Theme)11:34 Tech Project Upgrade11:40 Desperate Escape12:23 Threatening Survival12:41 Approaching the Lake12:50 Egypt Fight*13:24 Collapsing Gravity*13:58 Frozen Rio*℗ 2024 Watertower Music #godzilla #godzillaxkong #monsterverse Support Tom Holkenborg!Website - hans-zimmer.com/newsYouTube - youtube.com/c/HansZimmerSpotify - open.spotify.com/artist/0YC192cP3KPCRWx8zr8MfZ?si=-hVBaLPrTPGmP06RxSya2w&utm_source=copy-link Apple Music - music.apple.com/artist/tom-holkenborg/2148492 Support Antonio di Iorio!Website - antoniodiiorio.com/en/homeYouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCN3rDWIzNvj2CzxscCm-ELA?si=zXWNIEf2G6HFvZA_Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/2O6iSYG7yAWxfKmkAi4chGApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/antonio-di-iorio/278597544 OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/3g5e8KDkB3ZxC6czlfh9uYOST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/godzilla-x-kong-the-new-empire-original-motion/1736032377 Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Proximus Caesar Suite | Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (Original Soundtrack) by John Paesano azc0na 2024-05-10 | Proximus has been front and center in the marketing for this film, and while I'll keep my unsavory thoughts of his character execution for the comments, his performance was absolutely captivating. There's a plethora of action music in this film that accompanies his legion's many battle scenes, but his motif doesn't appear until he first enters the film. A simple three note horn motif with a following descending phrase, played on brass and accompanied by that classic tribal Apes sound that this franchise is associated with. There's also this drum pattern associated with him that appears in the last two tracks of this suite. I wish this theme was used in more action sequences to further push his presence over the whole score, but all in all it's a damn good villain theme that perfectly fits in alongside the likes of Giacchino's themes for the past villains.

Tai Lung Suite | Kung Fu Panda Series (Original Soundtrack) by Hans Zimmer and John Powell azc0na 2024-05-01 | Tai Lung is the big fan favorite of the series it seems, at least in terms of iconography and hype I see a lot more fans talking about him than Shen or Kai. Then again I'm not apart of said fandom so I don't know that for sure. Regardless, he has a very cool theme that's definitely grown on me over time. His motif is a very simple eight note riff, played on low brass or woodwinds. Accompanying him is a four to five note brass sting that plays during action scenes with him, and both of these work very well to portray him as this violent, unstoppable force. But the duo of Powell and Zimmer also twist this theme to have softer, more empathetic variations with solo flute reprisals or string ensembles, and it helps that his motif is able to portray both his rage and underlying pain so effortlessly. And to add onto it, his theme occasionally includes some throat singing, which is always a brilliant addition to any score to no matter what.* = edited/rearranged TRACKLIST:0:00 Shifu Flute and Furious Five0:14 Furious Five - Tai Lung Showdown + Shifu Flute and Furious Five0:17 Po Acupuncture - Shifu and Tai Lung1:52 Tai Lung - Shifu's End2:31 Shogun Prison (Tai Lung)5:19 Surrender Palace + Shogun Prison (Tai Lung)5:23 Surrender Palace5:44 Tai Lung Escapes9:15 Furious Five - Tai Lung Showdown9:37 Tai Lung Has Returned10:00 Oogway Summons Shifu10:26 Furious Five - Tai Lung Showdown12:11 Battle for the Scroll*12:46 Tai Lung - Shifu's End*15:35 Battle for Scroll15:39 Po vs. Tai Lung, Part 2*16:09 Tai Lung Escapes ℗ 2011 Dreamworks Animation LLC, under exclusive license to Sony Classical, a division of Sony Music Entertainment #hanszimmer #kungfupanda #dreamworks Discord - discord.gg/Xc5dxKkc43 Support Hans Zimmer!Website - hans-zimmer.com/newsYouTube - youtube.com/c/HansZimmerSpotify - open.spotify.com/artist/0YC192cP3KPCRWx8zr8MfZ?si=-hVBaLPrTPGmP06RxSya2w&utm_source=copy-link Support John Powell!Website - johnpowellmusic.comYouTube - youtube.com/@johnpowellmusic?si=snPR8bvhAyDgpDUSApple Music - music.apple.com/us/artist/john-powell/61088593Spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/3EAHF3jdnHHdko5DBrhRUP OST on Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2fUdfKoSrzobcPZ4bCSmJROST on Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/kung-fu-panda-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/1450669160Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.
