WESTWORLD SEASON 2 OST – STARBURST Magazine

Ramin Djawadi’s score for the HBO series Westworld has become just as well known for the different interpretations of pop songs as it is for the composer’s original music.

THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS OST – STARBURST Magazine

The soundtrack for 2012’s kung-fu epic The Man with the Iron Fists starts and ends with two of its strongest tracks. Produced by RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan – who also wrote, starred, and directed the film – it sounds unsurprisingly amazing.

Marco Beltrami, “Carrie” OST LP

cover - carrie soundtrackThe Music On Vinyl release of Marco Beltrami‘s score for the recent Carrie remake is absolutely fantastic in terms of … well, everything. Beltrami’s score isn’t presented here as a series of individual pieces, which is good. While there are slight pauses between each selection, for the most part, the Carrie score is almost arranged in such a way as to make it seem like one singular work.

Which is as it should, be really. Think of it this way: if a filmmaker has a visual aesthetic for the film, you’d want it complimented by a composer who can do the same thing with the score, and that’s what Beltrami has accomplished, here.
