  1. Takes a while to get used to the instrumentation but ultimately it's quite charming!
  2. It should've been written out to me. On a more serious note, does a recording of the initial run-up exist anywhere?
  3. Beautiful Here's to many more years of the JWFAN community!
  4. OK, if we're talking about the composer as a person, then I can't say there's anyone in the film music world I used to "like" but now "dislike". But I have certainly fallen out with some people's output. I think the big one for me is Hans Zimmer. He was my entry-point into film music ("Up is Down" from POTC 3 was one of my first loves). But I'm not such a huge fan of his latest work. I was listening to Dune the other day, and aside from the opening track which I found quite exhilirating, the rest left me cold. But because of his 90s/00s output I'm (still) convinced he is a musical genius.
  5. Maybe JW is an alien? All his best music seems to be written with aliens in mind...
  6. It would have to be the finale of CE3K for me (and that's not because of the subject matter). EDIT: But if you want something shorter, I would go with "Welcome to Jurassic Park".
  7. I've finally understood the thread title. Every time somebody posts on this thread, I get more and more disenchanted with Star Wars.
  8. As was hinted above, Williams takes a lot of inspiration from Walton, particularly in terms of orchestration. The lively episode between 21:46-22:51 might as well have come straight out of one of Williams' scores.
  9. Brilliant! Nobody plays LH octaves like E-F. Lühl.
  10. I especially like the 2nd movement. Like floating through space...
  11. "OK guys, we have a music building and it's dedicated to John Williams. But what shall we call it?" "...the John Williams Music Building?" "That's it!"
