Yep, I'm figuring that I'll just be ordering both the 1st and 2nd soundtracks from Amazon. Stores around here really suck most of the time. ^o) |
Coming Soon!! | |

Not alone... I think this is Powell's best scores to date... and I'm baised because I've probably only heard the Dragons one and Road to El Dorado....(which was actually both Powell and Hans Zimmer) |

Since I now have tickets to the Dreamworks at the Hollywood Bowl performance (SQUEE!) I'm thinking about the marvelous soundtracks. I have been absolutely delighted realizing that in "Valka's Dragon Sanctuary" among other tracks, I can hear echoes of Gustav Holst's "The Planets", the suite that inspired the original Star Wars sountrack. Another delighted moment was in "Toothless Found", when I realized that here, John Powell plays Toothess's theme in the Phrygian mode: which is the same mode Toothless's theme was played on the harpsichord (Hammered dulcimer?) in the track "The Dragon Book" in How to Train Your Dragon. Love little details like that. And they add so much! I also like that new themes in HTTYD2 apply to story arcs, so in addition to a character having a theme, the whole arc gets that theme. Whenever a piece of story belongs to that arc, we here the new theme that belongs to it. Again I hope somebody passes this along to the Oscar voting academy... |

And because it's way too late, I'm wondering if Stoick's dragon was named after this: [flash]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_ryNJVreiY&feature=kp[/flash] |

Or, when John Powell uses a celeste (?) in "Toothless Found", it's an bell-like tone, and to me it brings back "Forbidden Friendship", as if Hiccup is telling Toothless "Remember me? Remember that? Please remember." "Poignant" is a really lame word to describe what that does to me. |
