Musical Discovery of the Day
Aug. 13th, 2008 10:32 am"E.S. Posthumus is a music group that produces cinematic style music." This means they do stuff that sounds like it could be from a movie soundtrack without actually being from a soundtrack, which in turn means it makes for a much better listen than most of the incidental music that you get on soundtracks these days. Fans of Apocalyptica may also enjoy.
In fact, they seem to be quite popular with the movie trailer crowd. Which can only be a good thing because, since actual soundtrack music is generally unavailable at the time the trailer is cut together, many editors grab music from some other movie, which I for one find quite jarring when it's one I'm familiar with. I mean stealing from "The Rocketeer" is one thing but I've seen movie trailers that use the theme from "Stargate" and that was used on the front of a TV series for 10 years so it's not exactly going to slip past the geeks in the audience.
A good example is Pompeii, whose central bridge (first heard at around 1'10) is very familiar from a whole load of trailers from Spider-Man onwards.
