DARK WAVES (BELLEROFONTE)
Alexander Cimini, 2016, Kronos Records
17 tracks, 58:24
Alexander Cimini showed great promise with the challenging, yet at times gorgeous, Red Krokodil. Will Dark Waves sink or swim… pardon the terrible pun.
KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS
Dario Marianelli, 2016, Warner Bros Records
16 tracks, 53:11
Kubo may have two strings, but Dario Marianelli has an entire orchestra and the kitchen sink to play with. Will the result be as magical as Kubo’s magical armour?
REVELATION
Neal Acree, 2016, Varese Sarabande
23 tracks, 50:34
Easily one of the best video-game scores you’ll ever hear. Acree’s Revelation is a wonderful exploration of Chinese techniques and colours.
