Grateful for the post, but this score is an absolute abomination.

Abominable Snowman!

AWESOME!!! THanks!

Wow, a sequel to The Snowman after all these years. Slightly a shame that Howard Blake isn’t scoring this one.

Thanks for the share, I wonder if this will warm my heart like the other did.

Thanks boosterrr!

thank you!

Thank you!!

thank

thank you! i really like this album!

Thanks!

Thanks, I think it’s a beautiful score.

Many thanks – now I can bawl my eyes out all over again and get electrocuted when my tears hit the keyboard! I was 16 when the original was first broadcast in 1982 and guess what, I saw that original broadcast and can remember the extremely well-deserved fuss about it that resulted afterwards! Terrific story, terrific music, terrific all round!

Thank you.

You won’t be doing any bawling listening to this – except perhaps tears of anger and of raped childhood memories…

Just because you didn’t like it for whatever reason, that doesn’t mean others won’t like it either! It’s all down to personal taste at the end of the day and whilst it may not have appealed to yours, it did appeal to mine greatly! Superb score, story and animation – I totally loved it and far more than I did the original, which I first saw back in 1982 incidentally!

Just because we disagree, that doesn’t mean you have to jump on me. On this occasion, on a strictly musical level, this has nothing to do with personal taste; this is a terrible score. Ilan Eshkeri wrote a film score. Howard Blake’s original was a musical composition.

How you think this works as a film score, now that is down to personal taste and I’m delighted you’re enjoying it.

From my perspective, it doesn’t work in the film at all – it’s themeless, emotionless, and directionless.

The film itself had its moments – and it’s simply glorious to see a piece of genuinely hand-made animation again after all these years. There once was a time when animations were made by people. Now, of course, they’re made by computers operated by people. That said, I found the animation poor (the backgrounds animated at half the framerate to the characters, I found particularly jarring) and the film as a whole completely unnecessary.

The Snowman didn’t need remaking – and that’s basically what this is; boy makes snowman, boy has magical adventure with snowman, snowman melts, boy is sad – you can bring in all sorts of extraneous fluff, change a few peripheral details, delete a character, create a few new ones, but basically it’s a remake; at nowhere near the calibre of the first film and sorely compromised by the lack of Howard Blake’s musical integrity.

Incidentally, Blake offered to score this film – and he was told to submit an audition tape! How ridiculous can you get? Then the job went to Ilan Eshkeri, of all people, and some jackass from Radiohead. Dear, lord…

Peace and Happy New Year. 🙂

I didn’t jump on you – you decided that for yourself. Also, from the above you clearly didn’t like it – that’s fine. I did like it and that’s fine also 🙂

Thank you

curious to listen to this. Howard Blake’s score is such a classic though, this might be a little painful :-0
