Review of Tom Daish, submitted at 2010-10-02 10:56:29, score: 8/10

Thomas Newman does frustrate me at times, but at other times, his music is some of the most classy and beautifully composed you'll find in Hollywood today. Fortunately, Meet Joe Black falls into the latter category. Being something of a romance, the score was always going to be a little more traditional than some of his percussion and weird instrument efforts, but is no less skillfully written.

Newman's dominant orchestral voice here is strings; not thick 'Hollywood' strings, but almost ethereal beauty that sounds like at any minute the sound could be shattered. In fact, listening to it carefully, the texture almost suggests the Randy Newman of Awakenings, with high harmonics playing above the more usual instrumental registers. The main theme is introduced in the opening track, but it only appears subtlety through the score, never overwhelming the other ideas. To intersperse the strings, an occasional twinkling piano or plucked string counterpoint is added which gives the orchestral textures a little more definition. A couple of trademark witty Newman scherzos pop up, most notably in the jaunty Everywhere Freesia. Another, Fifth Ave., actually reminds me of Sting's Englishman in New York, but arranged as a jazzy clarinet solo - fun and appropriate all the same.

The final few cues pick up a little more, Someone Else featuring some more forthright, yet heartfelt phrases. However, That Next Place is a long, beautifully written finale which allows in some brass to broaden the orchestral colour and allow all the threads to reach a satisfying conclusion. A few short selections of source music are included and while some might feel they detract from the atmosphere, I rather like the fact that they break up Newman's drama a little, but are never so long or intrusive as to spoil the general ambiance.

I must admit that on first listening, Meet Joe Black did seem to be just a fraction long, but this is an album to persevere with. It also benefits from a good structure which allows it too build momentum, rather than sag towards the end with its glorious final 10 minutes. Highly recommended and an excellent place to start if you're looking to build a Thomas Newman collection.

Review of Andreas Lindahl, submitted at 2008-01-20 21:25:40, score: 8/10
Thomas Newman has written a very good score for this film starring Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins. In my ears it sounds much better than Newman's previous score, The Horse Whisperer, because it doesn't have the country music parts that I didn't like with The Horse Whisperer.

The music revolves around a very beautiful main theme, which is used throughout the entire score. This is a superb theme, very sweeping, both dramatic and peacefull, depending on the orchestrations. With a big orchestra and solo instruments like piano, clarinet and violin Newman creates a very romantic sound, but without the traditional big lush strings, although the strings are the most salient section of the orchestra. The best track is without doubt "That Next Place", which is a wonderful 10 minute cue, where all the themes get splenid renditions with full orchestral backup. Other highlights are "Fifth Ave." which is a short, but fun cue with a merry solo clarinet carrying the melody, supported by staccato strings and subtle timpani and cymbals. There's also some mystical, sneeking-around-in-the-middle-of-the-night-when-everyone-else-is-sleeping music (at least that is what it sounds like. I haven't seen the film...) in "Peanut Butter Man" and "Mr Bad News".

Also on the soundtrack are big band versions of famous songs, like "Cheek to Cheek" and "What a Wonderful World" and a version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" performed by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, that's actually very good.

Oh wow. Thank you sooo much! I have purchased the cd of Meet Joe Black and but the complete score I'll download right now. Is this an original complete score or fan-made?

soundtrack collector doesn't list a complete score, I honestly do not remember where I found it and if it is a dvd-rip or whatever, sorry.....

- Tracks 7 and 15 are most likely the same track "Sorry For Nothing" they sound identical and they're only a couple seconds off in length.

- Track 12 sounds like it could be an alternate to "Sorry For Nothing" Or it's just very similar.

- Tracks 21-34 are arrangements by Chris Boardman, making up the Party Sequence at the end of the film. I was able to use IMDB and YouTube to figure out which songs were which.

- Track 35 is Track 1 from the original release, the only new tracks here are 12, 13, 18 and the Party Sequence music. In my opinion the extra 2mins of "similar" music +party music isn't worth it. I'll stick to the original release for now. But hope these track titles help those who would like to have them.

Thank you!

Thank you SO MUCH!!! for your share :)

This is probably Newman's most Morricone-ish score ever - which is in NO WAY a bad thing. :)

It also reminds me of John Barry's 'Indecent Proposal.'

Thanks for this, Sorei. Hoping for a lossless version soon so we can really hear those lush strings breathe.

Thank you!! :) xx

Ok, the main theme is stolen from Arvo P�rt but still it's a beautiful score. Thanks!

I know lots of borrowing happens in movie music, but wow..
Thanks for that. Still love Newman, but it is enlightening.

Thanks for the legwork, Greyson :)

Thanks for the legwork, Greyson :)

No prob. Glad to help ;)

Thanks, Greyson--it's good to have some of the gaps filled in.

Thank you so much, my friend!

Great score!

I prefer the official release over the complete, sound quality is much better on the official.

Thanks for this! Can't believe the link still works, haha. I agree with WildwoodPark: the official release has better sound quality, but while I've had both versions of this for a long time, my official release version is at a high compression rate, so it's really nice to finally get this at a much better quality. Cheers.

Thanks!

Thanks for this upload :) I appreciate it!

thanks
