I agree completely.<br><br>The movie was awesome, the score works perfectly, and the only thing I didn't like was the use of songs. Too much of them. Songs rarely work during intense action scenes. They distract.<br><br>But every time the score started, I liked it. Bay may be known as the big action guy, but when it comes to scoring the more intimate/emotional moments, he and the composer (no matter who he is) always do a good job.Greenaway for President! :))I agree with Knight.<br><br>It seems some peeps were expecting power anthems left and right. Yes, this is a big movie, but not a "Transformers-big" movie. I didn't like the use of source music (I hate songs in action movies) but when Balfe's work popped up I noticed it right away.<br><br>The more emotional cues were definitely the most memorable.What a fantastic soundtrack.<br>It’s totally crazy and works brilliantly in the film.<br>The bit emotional sections are very classic Bay but Balfe’s electronic weirdness is very unique.<br>It’s nothing like Balfe’s Dark Materials BUT why I’m earth should it be !<br>10/10Gavin should be listed as conductor
Because Ice Age was composed by David Newman and Collision Course was composed by John DebneyWhen i heard just the sound clips, i thought wtf. Sounds like the worst score, a michael bay movie ever had. Then i listened to the whole album and i have to say, there are some pretty cool tracks. I really like the electronic rhythmic stuff. Welcome to florence is awesome. The emotional moments are nice, but standard balfe stuff. In the movie, the music works really good. I think this music style is the only style, that works in THIS movie. And as hybrid says a mish mash of score and songs. The movie itself is.....strange. but at least the action rocks as hell.If "The Meltdown," "Dawn of The Dinosaurs" and "Continental Drift" are added, then how come "Ice Age" and "Collision Course" aren't?I haven't heard the album yet but there isn't much score in the film. It's like Bad Boys II meets Domino in terms of editing, songs everywhere (19 sourced songs used), short cues... Hell there's even a 13 Hours cue tracked in the film ("Getting Aboard The Plane")."Second time"... lol
Another awsome score by lorne balfe. I really like the film 6 underground directed by michael bay, is very awsome and intense and i begin to hear the score composed by lorne balfe, and its phenomenal and his second time working with michael bay since 13 hours, which i like lorne balfe's score too. Balfe's work is really inspiring in his film score.I don't expect Lorne to make a masterpiece with each movie, but it is true that most of her films are action candies, and I can't understand how she can deliver 6 underground and then make His dark materials. It seems that within Lorne there are a thousand different composers. And I don't know what to expect from Lorne again.Can't help noticing not one, but two Zimmer titles in here.... Tracks 14 and 16. lol.What is most disappointing is that this is a Michael Bay movie with a score being so bad. Historically his movies have fantastic scores by either Hans, Steve Jablonsky, and even Lorne Balfe. But this is hands down the worst Michael Bay score I’ve ever heard. <br><br>It’s functional, yes, but nothing compared to 13 Hours, any of the Transformers movies, The Rock, Pearl Harbor, etc. I definitely had high hopes for another good “power anthem” score... and the only cues that are any good are just Time ripoffs.<br><br>Highly disappointing.Again, if we have to expect every piece of work of one composer is have to be as good like his others pieces of work, that's pretty underwhelming and impossible.<br><br>Yeah, 6 Underground is not a good score by any means (neither Gemini Man, but is far more listenable), but works perfectly in the hiperbolic movie.
I expected a lot from this score, and the truth is that it left me cold. Honestly, I think it is Bay's fault, Balfe has shown that he is capable of doing everything, but here it gives the feeling of being covered. Again, Balfe must focus on fewer projects and the projects he accepts are of quality.There are speculations about the track "Til Death Do Us Part "as being composed by Brandon Campbell. Can anyone confirm whether it was Djawadi or Campbell who composed it?Come to Portugal again.> which ones are listenable<br>all of the ones I listed are the melodic/orchestral moments in the score not counting Memories and Beautiful Sunday.<br>Listen to Haunt the Living, Thrones, A Million Battles or One, But Not Done and tell me that the score is a travesty.Knight - okay, let us know which ones of these tracks are even listenable? Hyperbolic nonsense defines this score, but I do not blame Balfe - this would have been what Bay wanted. Such a shame to see his artistic credibility reduced to this after the stellar work on His Dark Materials and acceptable material on Gemini Man,.

I didn't post it first to tease anyone (not in a bad sense anyway).

I just posted it because a couple of "covers websites" had revealed it before...

But basically I don't add secret stuff to H-Z.com, not being the first at least...

@Andrew

That's right, a bit weird, as the guy says he's been asked not to share it and at the same time is asking to drop him emails...

Maybe he just wants to be beheaded by his source...

@kakashi

... And I don't want to be beheaded myself... :)



And, as for the eternal question, 2 CD or 3 CD ? Let me tell you, the original bootleg (you can see it's actual tracklist on a cover at LostScores blogpost) is 2CD indeed, but it's the complete score as heard in film (including 25 min of (sometimes TERRIBLE) source cues/songs), so didn't contain all the unused/suite material featured in the OST...

So the 1m4 Dirty Cash (Unused), 2m13 Halfaway To Hong Kong (Unused), Interrogating Schiff (Alt intro), Batmobile Chase (well, I should have added it to the bonus as "New Batman Theme", it's actual name, I might change it someday...), End Credits from OST CD 2 & the Joker / Dente / DK suites are from the OST and not in the bootleg... What I basically did here was to compile so sort of ultimate thing... Simple as that...

Hybrid Soldier reply Replies: 0 || 2011-04-07 00:00:00
Yes they are...

I've got the sheet music of TDK and a friend capable of "reading" music, so he confirmed those cues were where I put them !!


As for Batmobile Chase, as I said, I put it there as it sounded it should have been there, but it's not... It's not even an unused cue, it's a theme suite called "New Batman Theme" or "Action Ice Theme v7". If you watch the chase with "Like A Dog Chasing Cars", it just doesn't work ! :P

Damn I sound like Jack Sparrow... :O

Wait so Dirty Cash, Interrogating Schiff and Batmobile chase are on the OST?

Is Batmobile Chase in the correct place?

I know Hybrid is always hiding something. :)
And I also know how he feels about these bootlegs, I would do the same.
For us "minions" we should be lucky that such bootlegs even exist, and have the rare oportunity to get
our hands on them.

Enough said. Or maybe someone else.

Hi. People, I never offered to share it here. I know thats against rules. Hybrid, go back and read my comments. There is nothing there.

All I am offering to do is confirm to people that this is indeed real, once I get it. I dont have it yet, and I have been actually been told not to share it.

Hybrid Soldier reply Replies: 0 || 2011-04-06 00:00:00
Do people need any confirmation ?

I added it to the site 4 months ago, even added extracts myself... I've never fooled anyone on this site ! :P

As for a leak, it's not up to me, sorry... There's nothing I can do from this point... I just know that now, a lot of people have it as well... I'm actually surprised it's not "out" yet... Looks like for once people followed orders... But as always, it'll be all around sooner or later anyway...

(not including cues with extended endings/segments)
