I have some great news for fans of Steven Moffat’s hit modern adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective: while those of us in America are waiting for Series 2 to make its way across the Atlantic, we can get into the proper mindset by listening to the excellent soundtrack for Series 1 of Sherlock.

If you’re a fan of BBC’s Sherlock, you won’t want to miss our newest contest! This time we’re giving away a copy of the Sherlock Series 1 Soundtrack on CD to three lucky winners.

This is the third Doctor Who soundtrack that I’ve had the privilege of reviewing for Fandomania, and it is without a doubt my favorite. We get all of the themes and motifs we’ve come to associate with the 11th Doctor and Amy Pond, but Gold has put them in a whole new light with his fresh instrumentation and settings.

The Darkest Hour is not a bad soundtrack, and I’m sure it is highly effective within the context of the movie. As a musical work by itself, however, it’s not different enough from many of the other action movie soundtracks out there to warrant a closer look.

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is set mostly in Constantinople, and the songs reflect that, as they have a Turkish/Middle Eastern vibe to them. Overall, if you enjoy the Assassin’s Creed games, then you will enjoy this soundtrack.

While it sometimes seems like Williams phoned this one in, I’m sure that once I have the chance to see the film in theaters later this week, I’ll be able to remember every song I’ve listened to, and afterwards, when I listen to them I will be able to picture every scene in my head.

No matter what decade owned your youth, it’s the best. So that leads me to a time machine in the form of a soundtrack for I Melt With You, the story of a group of friends in the midst of their 40s coming together for what they think is their regular yearly visit, when things take a turn.

I could never tell you what Hugo was about based on the bus ads. Does he live in a clock? Is he some sort of hunchback? No and no. He’s an orphan who lives in a train station dead set on finding out what happened to his late father. But even if Wikipedia wasn’t a mainstay in my life, the soundtrack would’ve been a helpful tool to figure Hugo out.

One can only wonder if the likes of Bach and Handel would have been Twilight fans, but as far as Music From the Twilight Saga for Chamber Orchestra goes, it’s well put together music that showcases more the emotions of the movie without the likes of hit makers like you’ll find on the mainstream Twilight soundtracks.

We gave the Puss in Boots soundtrack a great review earlier this month, and now we have the CD to give you in our latest contest!
