SKYFALL

I have to admit, after the first few tracks I was not feeling this, but this is a HUGE score–31 tracks! In the end Thomas Newman KILLED it – in a good way. I listened to it 3 times today and was O so happy.

Its a mix of earthy, almost new-age sounds (Grand Bazaar, Adrenaline) with generous amounts of strings (LOVE me some strings) and full orchestration (She's Mine, Deep Water). There are also some dark and melancholy tracks reminiscent of Casino Royale (Mother, Skyfall). The score flows seamlessly and only makes me want to see to movie more.

The entire album is worth purchasing (only $10.99 on itunes) but here are my fav tracks:
:: The Chimera
:: Health & Safety (a little nod to Finding Nemo in this opening)
:: Kill Them First
:: Welcome to Scotland
:: She's Mine
:: The Moors
:: Deep Water
:: Mother
:: Adrenaline
