If you’d like to listen to the Avatar: Fire And Ash album, here are all the links If your streaming service includes Dolby Atmos, these are my preferred method to listen. They are as mixed for the film - more dynamic range, less compression. linktr.ee/hh5qvmpwch

@calestyo It’s a while since we did those previews. I think there were tweaks to the scenes between those being finished and the final A3 master. Not massive, but there could be a few small changes at the start and end

Maybe the source of Pandoras' musical soul, @simonfranglen, can shed some light on this... That was about two weeks ago when I had my most recent private Avatar 2 screening... and since Disney keeps sending the October version of it to "my" cinema, I get the A3 preview every time (before usually having a real A3 screening right after 🤭😇). Anyway... it took me quite a while to notice, but I think the preview version with the Mangkwan attack features a different version of the music than what's used in the actual film scene?! Is that just because of cuts or did you make real changes just for the preview? 🤔 PS: Did I already mention how much I love your music? (I mean like in the last 24h or so 😅)

The Hound of the Baskervilles is 87 today. First of 14 films with Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson, it’s a cinema landmark, defining the duo’s on-screen image for a generation. For many, Rathbone remains the quintessential World's Greatest Detective

Disney asked me to release only a single album for #AvatarFireAndAsh They agreed to make it long - almost 30 minutes longer than the A2 extended release. This scene and cue unfortunately didn’t make it onto the album, I’m sorry. I agree the whole scene is wonderful. If you want to hear the cue’s genesis - check Way of Water - Quaritch looking at his skeleton and skull. This is The Fallen Soldier theme. It felt appropriate for Q’s speech.

@TheStingisBack Oh Sting, This is Leone on another level. It’s a big screen film. The cinematography, the sound, are exquisite. Arguably Morricone’s best score - Jill’s theme is heart wrenching.

MOVIES I’VE NEVER SEEN #6 Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) Charles Bronson, Claudia Cardinale, Henry Fonda I love Sergio Leone, but I feel I've seen all his tricks in his other classics, and 3 hours is a very long time. Am I missing out? Convince me: yes or no—and why?

It’s weird, people think that they can criticize what I do and that somehow I’m not allowed to respond, that’s not how it works. If you have a go at me I’ll probably have a go at you. Seems fair to me

Thank you so much to the Movie Music UK awards 2025 for score of the year. I appreciate the level of detail put into the original review. This combined with the staggering quantity of scores that @mmuk64 listened to really makes this very special. moviemusicuk.us/2026/02/06/mov…
