Let The Games Begin! Did you know that Soundtrackgeek.com now has it’s own game music section? Well it does and it’s spectacular, or at least it will be. I have long been toying with the idea. I’ve asked around and a lot of people are missing the game music section because I didn’t have any before. Sure there were the random game reviews by Steven, Jon and occasionally myself. Sometimes there would even be newsworthy item to post, but it’s definitely something th... Read Full Story

I’m glad to see Swedish composer Johan Söderqvist get some recognition. He is nominated for his wonderful minimalistic score to the vampire tale LÅT DEN RÄTTE KOMMA IN (Let the Right One in). Alexandre Desplat is of course nominated for COCO AVANT CHANEL (Coco Before Chanel). You can’t have an award ceremony without him these days and his name seems to be permanently fixed on everyone’s mind when it comes to awards. Alberto Iglesias is also nominated for LOS ABRAZOS ROTOS (B... Read Full Story

This is a review of the motion picture score Princess Mononoke by Joe Hisaishi. “Some of the composer’s most elegant melodic progressions and uniquely otherworldly moments” While Joe Hisaishi has written a number of fine, even great scores for animation, casual score listeners will likely only know him by his 1997 composition Princess Mononoke.  The film and score burst into the US in what was supposed to be the big anime entrance into the US, and while this was not the symbolic flagship entr...
