Greenland (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) - David Buckley | Music.Film & Varese Sarabande

The darkly orchestrated soundscapes are underscored with electric guitars, processed organic instruments and an ethereally boys’ choir all of which accentuate the film’s themes of family, redemption and renewal.  – Dread Central

Music.Film Recordings has released Greenland—Original Motion Picture Soundtrack featuring music by composer David Buckley (Unhinged, Papillon), in partnership with Varèse Sarabande Records. In his music, Buckley re-teaming with director Ric Roman Waugh on their second collaboration brings a decidedly human element to the action-packed disaster thriller.   Dread Central premiered the track, “Brave New World,” which you can listen to now.

See below for the album purchase link, track list and the movie trailer.

The STX Films release has opened #1 in 13 countries overseas and stars Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, David Denman and Hope Davis.

The result is a soulful and exciting disaster score that captures the big percussive picture as well as an intimately moving family drama. – Daniel Schweiger, Film Music Magazine

Nicholas Britell Is Breakthrough Composer of the Year, ‘The Nice Guys’ Is Best Score For Comedy Film | Filmic

We don’t always find out how members of the International Film Music Critics Association (IFMCA) cast their IFMCA Awards votes, but IFMCA member Ley Bricknell of Filmic has released her picks of the best talent and film/television music releases for 2016 in her own Filmic Music Awards.  Among those topping her list are Nicholas Britell (Moonlight) as Breakthrough Composer of the Year and The Nice Guys (John Ottman and David Buckley) for Best Original Score for a Comedy Film.  See the breakdown below and the full  list at Filmic.  Thanks, Ley, and congrats to all the nominees this year!  The IFMCA Awards will be held on February 23.

Breakthrough Composer of the Year

Nicholas Britell – Winner
Simon Franglen
Justin Hurwitz
E Dylan
Daniel Belardinelli

Britell is on the up with scores such as Free State of Jones and Moonlight…

 

Best Original Score for a Comedy Film

The Nice Guys – John Ottman and David Buckley – Winner
Dad’s Army – Charlie Mole
Tordenskold & Kold – Henrik Skram
Eddie The Eagle – Matthew Margeson
Swiss Army Man

Anyone who can near perfect score a soundtrack to match the scores of the 70’s is OK in my book.
