Good choice. It will be one less soundtrack to buy next year.

Nice to know that people are so open and willing to give people a chance to write a score that they're able to completely dismiss it before hearing a single note!

Years ago I would have been happy to hear about an MV-related composer scoring a movie.

Badelt's additional music, or the little I've heard of it, did not impress me much. And The Pledge, while interesting, was boring.

You're right though, my current opinion on the Badelt-Dooley matter is pointless. I haven't heard anything, so cannot judge.
Still, the past is often a good predictor of the future.

I wouldn't really count it as a MV score. Justin Burnett had worked with Zimmer and MV, and dedicated it to Zimmer as such. But from what I understand, that score was pretty much a solo effort.

Time Machine is composed by Klaus Badelt, addt'l music by Geoff Zanelli, addt'l arrangements by Jim Dooley and Ramin Djawadi. It is also an atypical MV score, although that's coming from me who can actually tell the difference between the MV composers. There's a sound _quality_ that is common to MV scores (the orch/perc samples I mentioned, plus a lot of them are mixed in the same room by the same engineer, Alan Meyerson), but frankly I think it's hard to confuse the music of different composers (I mean the notes, not the production).
