Danny and Age of Ultron!

[Ryan Keaveney]

Got my copy of the CD today and I’m having a hell of a time ripping it in iTunes. Lots of digital skips and snags. Bummer.

[ddddeeee]

Are ya’ll putting this in with your Elfman or Tyler CDs?

[ddddeeee]

Has passed Alice to be Elfman’s highest grossing movie worldwide and will soon pass Spider-Man to be his highest grossing domestically. In terms of tickets sold Spider-Man will still come out on top though.

I will put this in with my Elfman discs, but I have a ton of Tyler ones too.

Better late than never.

I finally saw the movie and Danny’s involvement reminded me of Terminator Salvation. Most of the music was buried behind sound effects and only in the quiet scenes is when the music is allowed to breath.

Danny’s music isn’t even allowed to breathe during the quiet scenes in Terminator: Salvation. The ‘Fireside’ cue is barely audible and all he’s competing with there are two characters trying to be quiet and a fire.

Fires can be really noisy…

Ha ha! I ended up buying the Salvation score because I wanted to hear more than what showed up in the film. It was a terrible dub. Not one of my favorite Elfman scores, but still a good listen,

Does anyone know the chronological film order of the album?

[ddddeeee]

Only for the Elfman cues.

1. Heroes (suite)
2. It Begins
3. Ultron Wakes
4. Ultron-Twins
5. Farmhouse
6. Can You Stop This Thing?
7. Inevitability/One Good Eye
8. Avengers Unite
9. The Farm
10. Nothing Lasts Forever
11. New Avengers – Avengers: Age of Ultron

So much of Tyler’s music isn’t used in the movie (and a lot of it is rather anonymous imo) that I wouldn’t know how to put it in order.

Yeah the mixing of the score in the movie was poor. Oh well.. Thanks anyway.

[Ryan Keaveney]

I watched AGE OF ULTRON this weekend. Maybe I’m getting old, but can anyone explain to me what was happening in this film? HAHA.

The score as heard in the film is a total disappointment. I recently downgraded my surround system to a soundbar for space and I could barely hear the music in any of the major actions sequences… What a mess.

[ddddeeee]

This is interesting: I just rewatched the movie and a lot of Elfman’s cut music is in the credits. For example, only the beginning of ‘It Begins’ plays in the movie (and a short part is cut and paste in later) and in the end credits the exact piece of music that was cut is played. Additionally, in the movie the start of ‘New Avengers’ is played and then cut in favour of Silvestri’s music – in the end credits that exact piece of music that was cut is played (not the beginning or the end of the cue that were intact in the movie).

It almost seems like an apology of sorts.
