Star Trek Into Darkness Movie Suite

Star Trek Into Darkness Movie Suite
Music by Michael Giacchino

In this recent 2013 movie suite, we are given another schooling by Mr. Giacchino on how to write some great music to accompany an action packed science fiction, motion picture. With a few nods to Alexander Courage (who wrote the original theme for the TV show), we are swept along at a fantastic pace that never lets up. Not too much percussion like some other composers of late, nor too much synthesizer, but a great mix of instruments to achieve the desired sound. With a timing of 23:49, it is over way too soon. Enjoy it while you can still get it.  -MJ

Iron Man 3 Movie Suite

Iron Man 3 Movie Suite
Music by Brian Tyler

In this recent movie suite from 2013, we have yet another composer picking up the reigns of the Iron Man franchise from John Debney. Noted for his work on the Expendables and Battle Los Angeles, Mr. Tyler brings us the tried and true formula for a modern fantasy motion picture: synth and drums! Lots and lots of percussion carries this music from beginning to end, so at first there seemed as if there would be no actual themes at all. After repeated listening, the drums seemed to back away and finally the themes were there to hear. The resulting movie suite is modern, pounding movie music that is quite fun to listen to. With a timing of 27:27, of course,  I hope you enjoy.  -MJ
