Many reviews mention the score as very good. I wonder if there will be a - preferably CD - release.

Digital release this Friday.

As far of physical release, not for the moment.

Who has worked with Zimmer on this one?
Serious question...I'm curious who his co-composers/collaborators are, (as they shape the 'sound' of his scores, from the Shirley Walker years, onto the HGW and Mark Mancina years, John Powell, Ben Wallfisch etc etc).

Saw the film on Monday, writing about it now. It's good, but with some 'grand folly' elements as well.

The score was quite eclectic. Wasn't thrilled with the action music (straightforward ostinato stuff), but some other really good moments -- a theme that, at least instrumentation-wise, had a BEYOND RANGOON vibe. Only less synth and more acoustic strings. Not as great as that score, obviously (my alltime favourite Zimmer), but within the same landscape. Also a bit of an INTERSTELLAR vibe, complete with organ. Some lovely chord progressions for the more intimate scenes. And then a HUGE melodramatic theme at the end, kinda E.T. style. Hopefully, it's possible to make a succinct album out of this.

And yes, only Steve Mazarro is credited with additional music in the end credits.

Cool.
Mazarro did a bang-up job helping him on NO TIME TO DIE - and brushed away those dull Thomas Newman cobwebs - so expectations raised.

This? Another" "Oh noes!", there's a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious AI out of control and the world is going to end unless Daddy saves the CGI day.

YAWN…


LMAO!

McGann, you confound me! Skyfall, which I really like, is like Goldfinger next to Steve Mozzarella's No Time To Die.

Indeed it is, Shaun, indeed it is (shakes head).
I never claim to be right, merely baffling.

Much love..

I was hoping for a longer album (like WW84) kinda length. But then again, I havent even seen the movie so have no idea if this is all of it, or just enough or whatever. (I know you dont need a longer album, Thor big grin ) haha!

But anyways, super excited for this! And I need to go see the movie soon so I can enjoy the score (since I'm that type of person who needs to see the movie before listening to the score)

I'm assuming we don't see a sketchbook album release of this, and I suppose that is OK but honestly they kind of spoil me. Zimmer's sketchbooks for X-Men Dark Phoenix, Wonder Woman 1984, and Dune Part 1 have been some of my favorite albums releases of recent memory. I suppose I'll wait until Dune Part 2 for the next one.

Given the budget of the film and the fact that music is only use to the full extend in the second half of the film, it makes sense not to have a sketchbook.

I'm listening to the album now -- bloody brilliant! His best since INTERSTELLAR, and I ain't even jokin'. OK, so I'm still not thrilled with some of the action cues, but thankfully only a couple of them were carried over to the album (like "Missile Launch" and "Lab Raid"), which otherwise focusses on the intimate/spiritual parts of the story.

"A Place in the Sky"......fuck me, I almost cried listening to that track. The closest he's ever been to my favourite score of his, BEYOND RANGOON. The organ in "Prayer"....again goosebumps.

And it's all in a beautiful, 44-minute presentation.

5 out of 5.

It would be great if Intrada or La-La - or any other labels for that matter - could release it on CD. We have so few contemporary (Hollywood) film scores on CD these days and as a collector it really pisses me off.

Perhaps Mondo will put it out on CD/Vinyl soon...

That is quite an endorsement, color me intrigued!

I am seeing the movie tonight. I want to support stand alone work like this but I have a feeling I will be disappointed.

I am hoping Zimmer's score will be good though.
