Austenland
Ilan Eshkeri & Emmy the Great,
2013, Madison Gate Records,
11 tracks, 44:08
An Indie film about a woman obsessed with Mr Darcy. Ilan Eshkeri scores it like a romantic period piece and offers a beautiful, lyrical symphony, whilst singer-songwriter Emmy the Great provides a handful of quality tongue-in-cheek songs.
THE WOLVERINE
Marco Beltrami, 2013, Sony
22 tracks, 59:41
Marco Beltrami is having a great year – and so are his fans! So far we’ve heard a couple of great action- and thriller scores, such as “A Good Day to Die Hard” and “World War Z”. There are a few more scores scheduled for release later this year. Right now you can feast your ears on “The Wolverine”… beware though, this is a surprisingly tough score.
PLANES
Mark Mancina, 2013, Disney
29 tracks, 53:24
Mark Mancina, where have you been? The 2000s have been relatively quiet for him. Whilst he’s never really been away, I do dare proclaim that with Disney’s “Planes” he is back! He’s in form! And he shows the kids how it’s done! Boom!
