Transformers: More Than Meets The Ear...

NEWS: Steve Jablonsky scores a teaser for Transformers: "It's more than meets the eye, and won't be in theaters until July 4, 2007 - but today at the Sony Scoring Stage, composer Steve Jablonsky recorded music for the theatrical teaser to the new Michael Bay film, Transformers.
Now Me:
I have Jablonsky's score for 'The Island' (also Bay); think Hans Zimmer remixed by Trent Reznor. I do enjoy that score and after listening to it again today, I think his style would fit in very well with the Transformers. If you've not heard 'The Island', it's an amalgamation of hard rock styling meets techno percussion meets synthesizer ambiance meets modern orchestra. I recommend 'The Island' if you want to try some fresh action music.
All this talk about the upcoming movie also got me thinking about the original animated Transformers movie composer, Vince DiCola. Perhaps it's because I bought this soundtrack when it came out (1986 - I also saw the movie in the theater) but I love the score for this movie - very slickly produced synthesizer music with pounding beats and heavy guitars. There's some great pseudo-metal songs too - check out Lion's version of the Transformers cartoon theme... Awesome!
Actually, DiCola's score is a lot like the 80's equivalent of Steve Jablonsky's 'The Island'; No wonder why I think Jablonsky would be perfect.
You've got a year until 'The Transformers' comes out (July 4th 2007), so until then go pick up the original soundtrack (and if you like Vince DiCola get 'Rocky IV' too) and 'The Island ' and judge for yourself.
