The Sponsors of Your 2013 Eargasms...so far

Hello again, it's me again. I just don't have that much things to do. And I am currently obsessed with one magical aspect of cinema: music/score/soundtrack. For the past years people are being magically hypnotized by the power of music in movies like John Williams' iconic themes for Star Wars, Indiana Jones or Harry Potter films. This year we have many hypnotizing, addictive soundtracks too! Therefore, I present to you the greatest soundtrack/score track of the year! Ranked! With YouTube videos!

7. Lana Del Rey's Young and Beautiful from The Great Gatsby

This song is definitely the one you hum after coming out of the theatres after watching your favorite old sport. The song is a perfect fit for the film and the film itself uses this song's melody as the main theme. Beautiful. Nevertheless, don't ignore the rest of the soundtrack album. It has great songs from Flo + the Machine, Gotye and the xx. 

6. Hans Zimmer's What Are You Going To Do When You're Not Saving The World from Man of Steel
I haven't seen Man of Steel yet, blame JAPAN. But seeing the third trailer for MoS is enough to justify that this score is one of the best. I put this on rank 6 because I still have to see the film first. The rank definitely could change after I watch the film. There's a reason why Hans Zimmer keep making great score: he's a fucking genius.


5. Cliff Martinez's Wanna Fight from Only God Forgives
Cliff Martinez always has a knack for creating cool ambience with his electric score. He did it in Drive, Contagion, and even Spring Breakers. This stand out score is both a stand out in the album (that includes Vithaya P singing) and the film, accompanying the coolest yet most contained fight scene ever to be filmed.


4. Ramin Djawadi's Pacific Rim from you where it's from.
Awesome score for an awesome film. It's a super cool theme and it's really addictive because it's the Gipsy Danger theme everytime that Jaeger comes to save the world from Kaiju. Four minutes of awesome. Ramin Djawadi always makes great themes, he even did that for Clash of the Titans, isn't that crazy brilliant?

3. Brian Tyler's Can You Dig It? from Iron Man Three

This song is is a homage to the 80s cartoon show. It sounded campy, it sounded fun. Brian Tyler definitely made Iron Man 3 a better film with his score. He made a whole new theme for the hero rather than recycling Ramin Djawadi's rock n' roll theme like John Debney did for IM2. But this song is definitely the stand out in the film, along with the super cool credit titles. IM3 also has a kick-ass companion album with Imagine Dragons, Passion Pit and Neon Trees.

2. Hans Zimmer's Finale from The Lone Ranger
An epic track of almost 10 minutes that has everything in it. The William Tell overture is done amazingly both as the main melody and as the accompaniment for the original score that Hans Zimmer made. It's incredibly epic and the film itself is already a great adventure, add that with this it becomes a superb amazing adventure film. It's Zimmer's best album since Pirates 3 (not counting MoS yet)


1. M83 & Joseph Trapanese's I'm Sending You Away from Oblivion
The whole album is great. But my personal favorite is this track, because it has melodies from the track Starwaves and also the ending song Oblivion by Susanne Sundfor. Director Joe Kosinski tried to duplicate the success of using Daft Punk by using M83 in this film. It paid off, mister.



Special mentions to the use of Muse's Isolated System in World War Z and Skrillex's Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites in Spring Breakers. Also to Danny Elfman's goth/fairytale-like theme for Oz the Great and Powerful and a must-mention Michael Giacchino's super theme for Star Trek Into Darkness!
