It has new action material, it has new and improved synth sounds. It has all brand new themes, except for “I See You”, but that’s only logical. Orchestrations and mixing are stellar! The sound-world that Franglen has created for TWoW is simply and utterly gorgeous. When it comes to the overall sound and atmosphere, Franglen easily matches and even surpasses Horner’s work. It sounds more natural, more evenly integrated. It sounds more polished and coherent to me the combination of orchestra, choir, non-orchestral instruments and electronics sound even better than last time. The result of years of hard work! From my review: On the whole I like The Way of Water more than Avatar. This is everything I wanted it to be, and more, and then some.AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER (Simon Franglen).For now, let’s crack on… THE 2022 TOP 10 (Film & TV Scores) Am I taking an easy way out? Let me know. So, I dunno, I think ultimately a lot comes down to personal taste. Most scores do what they need to do, sometimes a little more. Different scores for different films function in different ways and whilst it takes something very special for me to love a score, it also takes something rather special for me to really hate a score. I’ve long given up on being a judge, of sorts, deciding on what’s good and what’s not. Whilst that roughly aligns to what I think is best, there is a important difference. Please note my yearly disclaimer: these are my favourite scores. So, which are my favourite scores of the year? Will Beavis and Butthead return to space? Will the man who fell to earth face a violent night with a black panther? Will the moon rise above this strange world? Or will a certain blockbuster blow them all out of the water? The afterparty will take place in my study, but be quick as there’s only room for three people. Synchrotones’ annual awards extravaganza.
