Because it's McNeely, I sincerely hope it's not a temp track fiasco, as is usually the case when we get our hopes up. McNeely's pretty great when given free reign, but those early scores of his, dear Lord, the "influences..."

I may laud his effort and I know he is going to be with John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl. But after watching Oscars 2013 I cannot have any liking for him.

I resent the rhetorical use of 'saviour' in the headline, implying that there is some sort of miserere going on. Agreed!

It is nice to hear McFarland talk up and acknowledge great composition and artistry. There definitely is an art being lost. When I listen to some things out there today it seems there isn't a knowledge of the instruments, the colors they bring, and the orchestration that brings it all together. Just good old fashioned schooling that used to be a requirement for anyone in the business. Not just having a synth and some samples. Yeah. Because people who work in the business like Horner, BaƱos, Iglesias, Giacchino, Desplat, Powell, Williams, JNH, etc are known for not having any knowledge of instruments, the colors they bring, and the orchestration to bring them all toghter. They don't have an ACTUAL recognizable style and way to write music for orchestra, electronics, or genre instruments. Give me a break. Also, MacFarlane savior? Just because the guy uses an old-fashioned sense of music as a contrast for his raw, modern humour, it doesn't mean that the guy will make everyone to have all films scored by 100 piece orchestras and 10.000 themes being played over and over again. Film music has expanded far more beyond of it and it's not going to reverse for old farts. Get over it.
