2012
Harald Kloser & Thomas Wander, 2009


The Judge
Thomas Newman, 2014

Another beautiful score by one of my all-time favourite composers. This was an emotionally packed, moving, engaging film, despite being perhaps a little too long with an unnecessary subplot that could have been cut to save time. But nonetheless it was still a great film. Unfortunately (fortunately for me), yet again, this was another instance of a boring official soundtrack cover that was positively yelling to be replaced with a custom cover. So here it is:

Pacific Rim
Ramin Djawadi, 2013

Some epic covers for an epic score to an epic movie.

Version 1

Version 2

Version 3

Version 4

Planes
Mark Mancina, 2013

The official cover was boring. What more can I say?

Version 1a

Version 1b

Skylanders: Giants
Lorne Balfe, 2012

I've never played these games, but I stumbled upon the title track of this album a while back and fell in love with the score. The use of complex rhythms, unusual instrumentation, and unexpected chord progressions makes this score an exciting listen.
