What's New At G-POP.net:
Molly's Game - Melissa Minners reviews the dramatic film based on a memoir by former Olympic hopeful turned underground gambling entrepreneur Molly Bloom.
Excerpt: "...My first impression of this score was that it was going to be upbeat and adrenaline pumping, almost like an action score, but not quite. Though Molly had to give up the slaloms after Staring Down a Mountain, the score doesn’t let up on intensity..."
City of Gold - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a documentary in which Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold takes viewers on a journey to discover the ethnic cooking of Los Angeles.
Excerpt: "...The City of Gold score is upbeat, featuring some great percussion, guitars, keys, trumpets and frankly, some instruments I can’t name. There is definitely an ethnic sound to the music, defined by the locale of the film and the ethnicity of the occupants who create the food Gold introduces the viewers to..."
The Post - Melissa Minners reviews the historical political drama about Katharine Graham's decision to publish classified information on the Vietnam War in The Washington Post.
Excerpt: "Though I love John Williams’ works and consider myself a huge fan, I have to admit that The Post was not one of my favorite soundtracks. I was actually expecting something different…or maybe not as close to other John Williams soundtracks I’ve listened to in the past..."
The Alienist - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the new hit TNT drama based on the novel by Caleb Carr.
Excerpt: "...I loved the book this television series was based on and am currently a fan of the television show, so, it may come as no surprise to you that I also enjoy The Alienist Soundtrack. The music Rupert Gregson-Williams created for the series helps set the tone for the visuals. At the scenes of the murders, the music is dark and ominous. When dealing with the various aspects of the case, the music reflects the emotions of the various characters in play..."
The Mambo Kings - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the 1992 film starring Antonio Banderas and Armand Assante.
Excerpt: "...Released in 1992, The Mambo Kings Soundtrack re-introduced Cuban and Latin salsa music to mainstream audiences. In June 2017, the soundtrack was completely re-mastered and re-released by Varese Sarabande Records. The album features music from a number of popular Latino artists, including Tito Puente, Celia Cruz and Los Lobos..."
Jasmine - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a psychological thriller.
Excerpt: "...There is an enormous sense of pain and suffering expressed in the long, drawn out, somber tones prior to the ninth track. After that, as Leonard pursues the man he believes to have killed his wife, things start picking up…percussion brings the adrenaline up to speed and, though still ominous, there is a sense of grim determination there. All the while, ambient sounds and sound manipulations give off that distorted view..."
