Description
Franglen inherited the Avatar mantle from the late James Horner, and you can hear the continuity with fresh ideas in how the choir and percussion bloom across the reef scenes. “The Songcord,” with Zoe Saldaña’s close-miked breaths between phrases, lands like a family ritual rather than a set piece. Then “The Way of Water” unfurls the new oceanic motif, while The Weeknd’s “Nothing Is Lost (You Give Me Strength)” gives the closing run a modern lift without breaking the spell.
This aqua pressing suits the film’s palette, but more importantly the soundstage opens up. Low end sits deeper and imaging feels wider, so the tidal drums and bamboo flutes move around you rather than crowd the center. Filed in your collection next to James Horner’s late-era epics, it belongs with big-scope storytelling that still leaves room for quiet emotion.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy Simon Franglen records online with us. Spun in our Melbourne shop, the midrange choral layers come through with a realism that flat digital often smears, and the softer cues don’t get lost between the bigger action beats. “The Way of Water” suite is the side you’ll play to show friends how cinematic scores can breathe at home, while “The Songcord” makes a lovely early morning starter.
Perfect for anyone building a record collection, buy online or in store today.
