What's New At G-POP.net:
Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the latest Marvel superhero film.
Excerpt: "... From the very first track on this album, Captain Marvel, you know that this is a superhero soundtrack. The track is epic, featuring past-paced strings, heavy percussion, crashing cymbals and heroic horns. This first track attempts to give us a little bit of everything, so we hear some soft strings mixed in, as well as some interesting synths and chorus. In creating the theme for Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, Toprak sought to convey both sides of the character..."
Arctic - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the survival film starring Mads Mikkelsen.
Excerpt: "...There isn’t a great deal of dialogue in Arctic. After all, Overgard is stranded in the middle of the Arctic Circle for quite some time before the helicopter crashes. His newfound friend is badly injured and not much in a talkative mood. Thus, the music must serve as a way to express how the main character feels in this situation, while giving the listeners the idea of the vastness of the space around him, the beauty and the dangers..."
Dumbo - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the live-action version of the classic Disney film.
Excerpt: "...As the soundtrack begins with Logos / Intro, there is that magical feeling that only a Disney movie can impart on a soul. Trains a Comin’ actually has the sounds of a train entering the station, like the ringing of the bell, that chuga-chuga sound performed by an orchestra and that sense of hope and happiness that a train pulling into a station can bring those longing for its return. Meet the Family has that magic and playfulness associated with clowns and the circus. As we move forward, we hear a very recognizable track, a famous song from the 1941 animated film. Baby Mine is revived and beautifully performed..."
Puzzle Soundtrack - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the romantic drama starring Kelly Macdonald.
Excerpt: "...Halloran’s pianist roots take center stage on the Puzzle Soundtrack with the piano serving as a theme for Agnes. A simple, elegant theme, the music becomes more involved as Agnes becomes more interested in jigsaw solving, adding strings and woodwinds in the mix..."
The Forbidden Door - Melissa Minners reviews the fourth novel in the Dean Koontz mystery thriller series.
Excerpt: "I’ve read a great many Dean Koontz novels over the years, but most of them were thrillers that contained elements of the supernatural or horror. Then I was introduced to the Jane Hawk series with The Crooked Staircase. Even though it was the third novel in the series, I found I could follow the story without having read the others (though I eventually plan to do so) and I was hooked. That’s why when the opportunity came to read the next novel in the series, The Forbidden Door, I jumped on the chance..."
Ultimate Superheroes - Melissa Minners reviews a compilation of superhero themes.
Excerpt: "On February 15, 2019, Sony Music announced the release of a new album featuring music form some of the most memorable scores created for superhero films. Being a fan of a great many of these scores, I couldn’t wait to take a listen, so I downloaded a copy of Ultimate Superheroes: Music to Save the World To and prepared to be wowed..."
