What You Will Hear: Bond. Jazzy, Silly Bond. Complete with Bond-like title song.
Standout Tracks: The Penguins of Madagascar, Forsteri, Private's Theme, Eudyptula Minor, Chrysocome Will you be humming along? The opening track introduces a fun main theme. It's heavily reinforced over the next few tracks and was (happily) stuck in my head very quickly. There's also a fun antagonist (I'm assuming) four note theme. The score this makes me want to dust off: Megamind - Hans Zimmer & Lorne Balfe Will I come back to it? Yes, I really enjoyed this one. Remote Control scores can tend to sound like synth (am I right about that?), but Mr. Balfe gives us true strings and brass (and saxes!) on this album. I love a score that can be funny, hip, and pretty - all done well - in the span of 30 seconds. |
