The Martian
Harry Gregson-Williams, 2015

Pretty much my most-anticipated film of 2015 - and it did not disappoint. HGW's score is beautiful. The official score cover wasn't particularly inspiring, but there also wasn't a lot of other material to use, so this will have to do for now.

For Your Consideration

The Amazing Spider-Man
James Horner, 2012

So I finally got round to making one for the first film! This score is absolutely incredible, and fits the amazing film perfectly. Definitely one of Horner's greatest works.

We Bought A Zoo
Jónsi, 2011

Although the official cover was nice, I got tired of it pretty quickly. Hence this cover.

Balto
James Horner, 1995

In memory of James Horner, this score deserved a better cover than the official one. Balto is one of my favourite Horner scores, and "Heritage of the Wolf" is one of the most spine-tingling cues he ever wrote, hence Version 2 below.

 Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
David Newman, 2009

WALL•E
Thomas Newman, 2008

Here is another of my all-time favourites. Thomas Newman is such an incredible composer, and this was an incredible film. Thomas' trademark atmospheric style is very apt not only for the scenes on the lonely, dusty earth but also for the vastness of outer space.

"For Your Consideration"

Cars
Randy Newman, 2006

Here we have one of my all-time favourite film scores. As a whole, this film has a very special place in my heart, even if I can't quite explain why. Randy Newman's score is, in my opinion, hugely underrated, as most people only remember the songs that were used in the soundtrack. Many wonderful score cues were left unreleased, and those that were released on the OST were severely edited in many places. These covers were designed with the 18-track FYC promotional release in mind, hence the wording "score", not "soundtrack".
