I watched the Cinderella trailer during the previews of "Into The Woods," and let me tell you, that soundtrack they coupled in there was, without a doubt, the best part of that trailer. It's called "Aeon" by Nick Murray, and it's what we all need in our lives. With this playing in the background, you'll have the courage to talk to that person you always wanted, to do things you've never thought you could, to be who you are meant to be. That is the feelings you will feel. Also, watch the trailer. It's pretty good for a movie we all know too damn well. #Aeon #nickmurray #cinderella #cinderella2015 #soundtrack #trailermusic #instrumental #music #disney #soexcited

In the world of “Epic Trailer Music” writing, it has now become increasingly difficult to differentiate one’s sound from another due to the regular use of ostinatos, big percussion hits and full choir backdrops. switch.’s “Supernatural” by composer Nick Murray tries to do something a bit different in this album by adding non-traditional “epic” instruments such as a celeste and vibraphone to add a bit of lightness to the dark brooding nature of the score. One has to wonder when listening to albums such as these if the composer is trying to tell you a story throughout, or if they are solely composing track by track with no audible continuity hoping that one will make it to the big screen. The ratio appears to be 2:1 in this album - for every one track that tries to reinvent the trailer music sound, there are two that suppress it with standard epic writing. That’s not to say the standard tracks are poor; they are not - they satisfy all the necessary requirements for successful trailer music writing, but I would have liked to hear more different approaches from Murray as he did with tracks such as “Swept Away”, “Caspian Gates”, and “The Night Eternal”. A standard trailer music album with slight hints of wonder that will be enjoyed by epic music fans - 7/10.
