Assessment

The best article of all soundtrack composer articles I've seen so far. Could easily become the first A article among soundtrack composers, which hopefully could be an incentive to pay more attention to some of the stubs out there. --User:Krator (t c) 19:13, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Partly Cloudy?

Does anybody have the source saying that Giacchino scored Partly Cloudy (apart from IMDb)? --Elikrotupos (talk) 15:12, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tribute and Composite

His style of music seems to pay a timeless tribute to the nostalgic '60s works of Henry Mancini, Les Baxter and Lalo Schifrin. Despite having a Graeme Revell-collaborator as a frequent orchestrator, Giacchino is more of a nostalgic Alan Silvestri and David Newman combined rather than a new age Ennio Morricone and Bernard Herrmann combined as Revell is.

Game Developers Choice Awards

First of all, I'm sorry for my broken English :S

Mmmm..., sorry but, according to Game Developers Choice Awards^[1], Giacchino is not in list of winners (2003, 2004), both awards are for sounds effects; award team?
...and as Avaloan, MOHAA main theme don't have any award??

"Style" section

A lot of the information in the Style section on this page seems unnecessary or excessive. Also, it doesn't address Giacchino's *musical* style, which I believe is the proper topic under that heading (might be wrong on that). M3g4tr0n1699 (talk) 22:09, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
