The film music world has been evolving in exciting ways over the last few years.
But alas, such is the nature of a Top 10 listtheres a limited number of spots.
Behold, the best movie scores of 2018.
Dont get me wrong, this score isnt uglythere are pleasant sounds to be found throughout.

Film music in blockbusters has becomeverysame-sounding, especially in the wake ofInception.

This is no Hans Zimmer imitation.
Its as warm as BritellsMoonlightscore was cold.
Its an ambitious, challenging piece of work that stands right alongside Hurwitzs Oscar-winning score forLa La Land.
