very nice. quite catchy. I can't seem to place it, but it reminds me of some Goldsmith piece.
this has quality. when is the album coming out?
Mr.Giacchino is becoming my 2nd favorite composer. Sorry, Michael, the #1 spot has already been taken for the rest of my life.

Sounds good. I forgot about Brad Bird's new film. The story idea doesn't necessarily interest me but Giacchino's music is nice and Bird's direction has been pretty dang solid thus far in his career so I'll check it out. I'll most likely be pleasantly surprised.

Any new Giacchino is a Welcome site for me.

Darn straight! Not to divert this thread but the last couple of episodes of LOST have been really cinematic in tone, and Giacchino's music certainly is paramount in achieving that film feel.

The strings, the brass, the orchestration. It's good, I'm not saying no. But that's very much Powell territory.
actually it reminded me more of a 90s goldsmith orchestration...

Didn't at all to me. Could you name specific movies you're talking about? I may just not be familiar with them. But take almost any section of something like Paycheck or Mr. and Mrs. Smith and compare it to this. I've actually listened to em back to back to make sure, and it really sounds similar to me.
being a fan of both Giacchino and Powell, I don't hear a similarity. And perhaps your comparison wasn't intentionally slighting the efforts of Giacchino but I really wish people would stop trying to find reasons to debunk Giacchino's originality.

well, the guitar style is remniscent of Medicine Man (which is in turn remniscent of Under Fire). the strings remind me of the way Goldsmith put them alongside his other lines (almost entire 1990s output - beware, I don't mean notes but the playing and its relation to the other parts of the orchestra).
the lusher 2nd part remind me of the strings in Justine.
and the lightness of the arrangement reminds me of Fierce Creatures
.
but really, similiar ways of handling techiques and subject matter, as well as influences, is not unheard of with composers.
and let's not forget that we - the listeners - also have our own build in 'comparing' system. which is just natural because it helps you to categorize things (we used to survive on this instinct).
