    HarryCalder - Giacchino ain't any Kamen (RIP)...

    by the_genteel_gentile

    YET. But he stands a real decent chance of becoming as great. To my taste, the only other animation scores that can touch Kamen's Iron Giant would be Thomas Newman's Finding Nemo and Wall.E. Anyway, UP has a very good score, the opening montage music is particularly beautiful. I advise you download now and listen at your leisure (preferably after seeing the film).

    HarryCalder, I don't understand your logic...

    by big dumb ape

    You said: "In good faith, I can't do this until I see the movie."Huh? That's like having an artist put out a new CD, at which point you constantly switch off the radio (should a song come on) or you pass up any chance to grab the CD on sale, all because you say to yourself: "I can't listen to this record until I've gone to a concert and seen the artist perform the songs."So, why deny yourself a chance to enjoy some great music beforehand? You can download the score now... see if you enjoy it... and then when you finally DO see the movie, perhaps you'll enjoy it more since you'll be more conscious of the music cues.Hey, if nothing else, why waste a chance to grab the score for free? You said it yourself: "I'm sure once I've seen it, I'll kick myself hard for not downloading it for free when I had the chance." So, spare your butt that kick. Just download the score for free, then save the file and put it off to the side. And once you HAVE seen the movie, you can listen to it then. In the meantime, you'll still have saved yourself a few bucks in the long run.As for the score itself, I think it's great. I LOVED this film (it's in my top 5 for the year) and the score stood out for me. I thought it was restrained and tender in the right spots (say the earlier portions), and fun when the action hit the fan. This was actually one that I wanted to pick up, but now I can put it off for a bit in this tight economy and still enjoy it. So thanks to Disney and whoever else for this promotional stunt! Personally, I think Giacchino is one of the best up and coming people out there. At that rate he's going, and given the cool movies and scores he's doing, he's on track to become one of my favorite and more reliable score composers.

    by harrycalder

    I'm glad to hear you think so highly of both the flick and the tunes. What I meant by that opening phrase was that I can't, per my own movie-watching rules, listen to a film score before seeing the movie. I don't want to have any strong emotional responses until I get to experience the thing as a whole. But you and others are right; download now, listen later... which I will do, though it will kill me not to give my ears a little peek first...

    Hate j.j. Abrams if you want, but if he didn't put him on the map Giacchino wouldn't have gotten this gig. I put the chapter where Ellie marries Carl and they live a happy life together (although bittersweet ending) on a-b repeat all the time. Thank you Pete Docter for directing Monster's Inc. and now Up; and of course Giacchino for composing such a beautiful score.

    I *did* like Giacchino's LOTL score

    by nasty in the pasty

    Like Jerry Goldsmith did all the time, Giacchino seemed to be scoring the best possible version of a Land Of The Lost movie instead of the one that was actually made (if that makes any sense). I just find it weird that an animation company pretty much based on music like Disney couldn't find a few bucks in the budget to get an actual Up CD on store shelves, while a HUGE FLOP like LOTL *did* get an actual CD release. Pretty much every review of Up praised the music, and yet no CD? Yeah, I ended up downloading the album (although for only three bucks), but I'd jump on an actual CD release with ARTWORK and LINER NOTES printed in a COOL-SMELLING BOOKLET.

    Hey ScoreKeeper. Keep up the great work on AICN!


    I have a question for you. Are there any available music sets, or individual releases of early Disney Animated Scores? Not the songs, just the scores to films like Snow White, Pinoccio, Jungle Book and the like? I see lots of CDs with the songs, but I would like to get the other music too.

    It depends on the title. SNOW WHITE was released on CD by Disney in 2001 to coincide with the DVD release. I think PINOCCIO as well. If you ever have questions about "Was ____ ever released?", go check out www.soundtrackcollector.com. It's a pretty damn good site which keeps track of just about everything out there, CDs, LPs, cassettes, iTunes, you name it.

    There are plenty of exceptional scores to lousy movies

    by nasty in the pasty

    I had always loved Jerry Goldsmith's score to the third Omen movie, The Final Conflict, but until I finally watched the movie a few years back, I had no idea Goldsmith's transcendently beautiful final cue was written for a scene with Sam Neill gets owned by a giant, glowing plastic Jesus. It still doesn't affect the pleasure I get out of the soundtrack CD, though. I look at it as, I'm geting something out of a bad movie that most people do not...a great score that transcends the terrible movie it was written for and makes for a rewarding listening experience on it's own.

    Those "fucking limited CDs"....

    by nasty in the pasty

    ...are limited because there are literally only about 3,000 hardcore film music fans in the ENTIRE WORLD. If they made an album like Logan's Run or Baby: Secret Of The Lost Legend as anunlimited pressing, the soundtrack labels would lose their shirts. Even a huge blockbuster like Back To The Future wouldn't sell much more than 3,000 copies. It sucks, but it's the ONLY WAY we can still keep getting this music, aside from sucky downloads.
