What's New At G-POP.net:
Sirens - Melissa Minners reviews music inspired by story of The Odyssey.
Excerpt: "On June 1, 2018, Varese Sarabande released Sirens, an album by Craig Safan, available digitally and on CD. The album featured music inspired by the classic Greek myth known as The Odyssey and the numerous locales in which the story takes place. Being a fan of Greek mythology, I decided that Sirens might be an interesting album to check out..."
Assassin's Creed: Black Flag - Melissa Minners reviews the Oliver Bowden novel based on the popular video game.
Excerpt: "I love Assassin's Creed for the fact that the video game combines a great deal of real history with the fictional events placed in them. In other words, this is a historical fiction video game. Now, granted, I haven’t played the game yet…I’m ashamed to say that I haven’t had much time for video games on gaming systems lately and thus, my copy of Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Trilogy has sat on a shelf, unopened. But I have read the novel series based on the games and my latest foray into the Assassin’s Creed novel series is Black Flag..."
Cobra Kai - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the YouTube Red television series that continues the events of The Karate Kid.
Excerpt: "...The Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues Soundtrack features 28 regular tracks and nine additional bonus music tracks for just under 45 minutes of incredibly enjoyable music. The contrasts of the main characters’ sound blend together when tournaments take place and the frustrations of both characters are also evident in the score. The composing team of Robinson and Birenberg did not only create one slamming musical score for Cobra Kai, but they got to the heart of the main characters and what makes them who they are..."
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..."
