Best Scores and Soundtracks of the Year (some of them talked about in depth here) Michael Andrews» «Jeff Who Lives At Home» (he's criminally underrated), Nick Urata's score for «Ruby Sparks» (beautiful and heartrending, maybe my fave of the year), «Beasts of the Southern
Wild» (anthemic, celebratory, overwhelmingly burst - into - tear inducing), Hans Zimmer's «The Dark Knight
Rises» (
typically thrilling and towering), Howard Shore and Metric — «Cosmopolis» (sinisterly futuristic; we overlooked by accident), the soundtrack to «The Comedy» (poignantly wistful soul), the soundtrack to «Take This Waltz,» «Rust & Bone,» «Nobody Walks» and «Keep The Lights On» (an excellent soundtrack of forlorn Arthur Russell songs that we regrettably failed to mention at length in our music piece).
