ToTW 3/7/2010

Track of the Week: "The Creation" by John Ottman, from Incognito



Proving once again that he can write stunning and captivating scores, John Ottman captures a certain baroque elegance in his score to Incognito, as befits a movie concerning renaissance paintings. The fluidity heard in the main title to his earlier score for The Usual Suspects carries over to his work here. I personally like the intrigue that his music engenders simply in it's style. A damn fine score.

ToTW Catch Up: 11/15/2009

Track of the Week: "Main Titles" by John Ottman, from Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang



After being recommended this movie by some good friends, I was happy to hear that the soundtrack was also well worth a listen. I find John Ottman's cool, noir stylings similar to William's work for Catch Me If You Can, but less dark and more playful. The Main Titles are an excellent demonstration of the repeated three note motif that permeates the whole album. Very stylish.
