15 Best Pieces Of Movie Music From 2018
1. "The Landing" - First Man (Justin Hurwitz)
Shame on the Academy for snubbing the incredible Justin Hurwitz and his incredible score for Neil Armstrong biopic First Man, especially as even the freaking Golden Globes bothered to both recognise it and actually give it the award outright. Baffling.
There are countless belters throughout the score, but the easy marquee track is "The Landing", a delirious five-and-a-half-minute masterpiece to which the focal Moon landing sequence is set.
Beginning simple yet gradually ratcheting up the tension by incorporating more bombastic orchestral elements, it manages to make the landing enormously stressful to watch despite the outcome being known.
More than anything, it encapsulates the impossible awe of space travel and mankind's greatest achievement with rousing aplomb. The best movie song of 2018 and, indeed, one of the strongest of recent years.
