What You Will Hear: Intense orchestra and choir.
Standout Tracks: Something Remarkable, Modern Humans, The Kelp Forest, Before Columbus, The Road Less Travelled, Dawn Of Symbolic Thought, Boys Become Men, Doorway To The Pacific, Homo Sapiens
Will you be humming along? Yes, there is a nice "awe-inspiring" theme (best heard on the final track).
The score this makes me want to dust off: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe - Harry Gregson-Williams
Will I come back to it? Yes! I was very close to giving this score a Gold Star. Every track is enjoyable from start to finish. The only reason I held off on the star (cruel, I know) is that it sometimes lacks the "wow-factor" of a major release. This score is bombastic, smooth, inspiring, and tender - all in one listen. Based on his work here, I hope this is just the beginning of greatness for Darren Fung. I can see him scoring anything from the CBC to the MCU. Avengers: Infinity War - here he comes!
