Hi everybody,

I lurk here a lot but don't post much (usually only in the mad rush for pre-screening tickets). Anyway, just wanted to say that this stuff sounds great. Thanks for the link!

I listen to a lot of film scores (kind of a hobby of mine, actually), and I was really nervous this score wouldn't FEEL right. But they nailed it, I think. I'm glad they've gone with the very western sound.

I have actually seen the movie twice at this point, and I agree that might have been the "Serenity" track I heard in the movie already. The violin solo at the beginning is very familiar. But then again since the recording sessions were very recent, it might just be a case of temp tracking being followed closely. Or maybe this one track was a sort of "audition" for David Newman, and hence was ready for the pre-screenings.

I'm pretty sure the three other tracks are new, though. I know exactly where they fit in the movie, and in fact I can almost re-play the movie line for line along with the four tracks. This is probably not much of a spoiler, but based on the titles and the content of the music itself, these four tracks are all from within the first half hour of the film (probably more like the first 20 minutes), and since they're so good I can't wait to hear what the finale is like!

I pay a lot of attention to scores while watching movies, and I know that most of the music I heard during Serenity came from other films. I'm thinking of one scene in particular that used the finale from Signs to a very emotional, chilling, goosebumpy effect, and I can't wait to hear how that main theme from the "Serenity" track fits in there. Should be amazing. Without spoilers, does anybody know what part I'm talking about? It's toward the end... Very dramatic, great stuff.

Anyway, you guys keep posting interesting stuff, and I'll keep lurking!

Listening to them now. Yeah I think I recall hearing the first one, and the first part of it does pull you in emotionally. the fourth track is pretty haunting.
All so good.

Well I won't be going to the page and listening to the music because of the light spoilers. If someone wants to be extra special nice and copy the tracks and name them 'Track 1(2)(3)(4)' and mail them to this address

That way anyone can listen to un-spoilered tracks.

Got them. I'll be listening later.

I love soundtracks. I buy them for most of the films I see. Most of my CDs are soundtracks, I think. So I can't wait to hear the full version of the Serenity soundtrack

Sgtgump, expect something in your mailbox a little later.

I love film soundtracks too. I'm more of the Elfman, Barry school but I've got love for pretty much all of them. This has been a really bad year for losing great composers so it's nice to see a new generation coming through.

I think a few famous composers died this year... can't rememer who though.

Would you believe I didn't realise Batman Begins was a Zimmer? I wasn't paying enough attention, I spose. And War of The Worlds didn't sound particularly Williams, either. Which is good, of course, it wouldn't do to sound the same all the time.
