Shaun thanks for pushing me... I rather liked that theme! Reminded me a bit of Carter Burwell. They burned a lot of screen time on that jogging shot.
Listen to the rest, too! I put like 20+ tracks on there, all of them highlights!

I thought Potter 7.2 was a shockingly boring shitshow (the "Statues" cue is fine, but even that was subdued to the point where it sounded like the orchestra was "lost to Zoloft"), whereas the 7.1 score had at _least_ 30 minutes of highlights worth listening to outside the picture ("Sky Battle" in particular has some great horn theatrics and "Farewell To Dobby" is almost Goldsmithian despite its inaudible recording). This, as others have stated in the past, is more likely due to David Yates having a tin ear that rivals Ridley Scott's than Desplat not bringing the thunder (or lightning, in the case of Potter, I guess).

Idk, I tried listening to Birth a few times but it was mostly a typical barely there thriller score. A few standout cues but it doesn't get my hopes up for some knockout Desplat score. Other scores (Harry Potter final two) show that Desplat can write dark action music.
"Birth"... a typical barely there thriller score?
I´m so shocked... I have to... no, no, please... you cannot be serious... sigh... face palm...

I know, right? Birth (the score and the experience) is amazing!

So excited at this news! I can't imagine he'll get replaced, has he ever been? (Aside from lots of his music for Casanova and Tree of Life not being used in the finished films)
Any Godzilla movie starring Juliette Binoche already has me interested, must be something more to it than just effects
Well, he couldn't finish Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, so Aaron Zigman was brought, and he used Desplat's themes. And he was replaced from Emperor, by Alex Heffes. But Desplat himself said that he has rejected certain proyects because he didn't liked the script. So he must've accepted Godzilla because there's more than just a big monster destroying a city.
Of all the hyped summer blockbusters I've seen over the years, this one looks to be a WINNER.
The trailer feels right. It looks right. God, I am in fanboy heaven with this one.

However, I do look forward to another GODZILLA film. I belong to those who liked Emmerich's film, and who don't really have any connection to the old Japanese ones. So more contemporary monster movies with top class production values are a-ok by me, whoever scores it.
I've always been a fan of the Emmerich's film as well.

That's a 80 people choir, larger than the ones used in The Golden Compass and HP7 and 8 (without counting female/boy vocalists, and children's choir).

Images from the recording sessions:
Looks like he's following the Ligeti theme from the trailers for his choral writing- sort of.
Ligeti's micropolyphonic approach looked pretty amazing on the conductor;s score with the SATB chorus subdivided into smaller groups singing quick repeating lines a quarter tone apart. This is more the easier way of achieving a similar eerie tone but without the mass of sound with that buzzing activity underneath.

. People went nuts for this score but I couldn't get into it at all.
