THE IMITATION GAME
Alexandre Desplat, 2014, Sony Music
21 tracks, 50:53
Alexandre Desplat has had a busy 2014. Busy, and also very succesful as he delivered several of the year’s best scores including “Godzilla“, the BAFTA nominated “The Grand Budapest Hotel” and the Golden Globe nominated “The Imitiation Game”.
BROADCHURCH
Ólafur Arnalds, 2015, Mercury Records
13 tracks, 52:44
One of Britain’s finest television shows is back with its second season. The whodunnit “Broadchurch” was a massive hit back in 2013; and Ólafur Arnalds’ score won a Synchrotones’ Soundtrack Award for best Television score. Also a BAFTA. Can this album follow suit?
As Synchrotones continues to review those scores that were left unreviewed in 2014, read about Newton Howard’s “Nightcrawler”, the animated “Lego Ninajago”, Beltrami’s “November Man”, another animated “Penguins of Madagascar”, Shapiro’s “St Vincent”, Debney’s “Stonehearst Asylum” and a few more.
