Even in those periods you can have sub-periods, ex: The gothic era 78-80 (Dracula, The Fury, The Empire Strikes Back) The minimalism era 01-05 (AI, Munich, Minority Report)

Anyone listened to John Frizzell’s “Gods and Generals”?

Cross the Green Mountain is Dylan's last great song. -
TROS seems to have been temped with Gordy Haab's Battlefront II score
ymenard replied to Drew's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Spielberg has handicapped Williams quite often with his desires and temp-tracks. Hook (Grusin's Mountain Dance, Agnes of God from Georges Delerue), Jurassic Park (Doyle "The Death of Falstaff"). But it's only when he wants something absolutely specific. There's a difference between JW's influence (ex: Hanson/E.T. ) and clear temp-tracks like those above. -
What is John Williams' most repetetive score?
ymenard replied to GerateWohl's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Born on the Fourth of July is pretty much thematically a reconstruction of the same motif -

ymenard replied to Under-Terrestrial's topic in General Discussion
Or they heard the S01E06 episode of Watchmen, which features jazz songs as performed by trent and atticus + john beasley on the piano. -
Ludwig Göransson & Joseph Shirley's THE MANDALORIAN (2019-present)

Is this the first time that Göransson aknowledges somehow any previous material? -

Feels like half-Tan Dun, half late-Horner. -
James Horner's THE LAND BEFORE TIME (1988) - NEW Intrada 2020
ymenard replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
Well you can start by hearing what happens during recording sessions, here are some "leaks" from Horner's Troy. Like most other score recordings, you will repeat and adjust for a certain time (depending on a lot of stuff, from budget to rewriting to adjusting to the current film cut), then record the final cut: -
James Horner's THE LAND BEFORE TIME (1988) - NEW Intrada 2020
ymenard replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
There could also be an instrumental version of "If We Hold On Together"! But seriously, I have never turned a volume knob up and down as much as listening to that score! -
WAR OF THE WORLDS (2005) 2CD edition from Intrada Records 2020
ymenard replied to crocodile's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Hasn't the WOTW recordings leaked a couple of years back, no? I see a couple of alternate, some suites, a lot of variations from "Reunion in Boston". All in all, around 150min of music. -
The Unknown Known is the last good score I've heard from him.

I always felt that the Last Crusade orchestration make it feel a little too artificial, mostly with all the doublings that feel electronic (eve if they are just dry and sharp higher notes from instruments). The same type of recording appears on The Phantom Menace, but he had the large orchestra to not hide all of this.

Enemy at the gates - Horner ripping people off on theme
ymenard replied to pi's topic in General Discussion
15 years and no mention of Mahler's 8th? It's moot to even post about this anymore. I'm guilty, it's too simple to find dozens of them everywhere. He did great things, but also copied himself by changing a note or two throughout his career, and especially copied existing material by other composers hundreds if not thousands of times. Those composers, they were the ones who were the true artists. Oh Hi little theme: Oh hello again: Countless re-orchestrated versions found in Enemy at the Gates (Oh hey it's Schubert's AVE MARIA right after at 1:20 LOL) -
Holy Bump, Thor! The thing is, his music has changed a lot. Nowadays it's much more classical and sorry to say, boring. Let's be real, pretty much all his originak work in the 2010's isn't that great, perhaps even before since The Hours or Symphony No.8. He got... old. But since the Hours, there has been almost 50 albums released of previous material, it's never ending! You can have very interesting orchestration, like Harp variations of piano music or choral orchestration, etc..). Orange Mountain Music is an awesome label. It's impossible to say PG aways does the same thing when there is stuff like : Glassworks Einstein on the Beach Akhnaten Koyaanisqatsi Mishima Kundun Satyagraha Songs from Liquid Days Dancepieces & Dance No.1-10 Powaqqatsi Solo Piano Itaipu / The Canyon the CIVIL warS At least half of his symphonies (ex: No.5) The Hours (both score and piano version) Etudes for Piano No.1-10 The Voyage The Concerto Project Series The Recording Archives

James Horner's Romeo and Juliet (2013)
ymenard replied to bollemanneke's topic in General Discussion
Is this the first time we hear a rejected Horner score? (The New World cues are partially in the movie, and Streets of Fire Suite seems fake) Also, does he again quote Prokofiev' ballet for Romeo and Juliet?- 130 replies

Goldenthal did it a little jazzy, it wasn't just Wagner-lite.

Return of the Jedi Special Edition soundtrack sound quality
ymenard replied to wowbobwow's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
What's different from your 2019 version versus the EQ-ed "restoration" version made in 2017? -
my guess is that all you see here is in the first hour or so. Its quite clear that the farm is where Egon went, and died. Those costumes in the closet are his (there are at least 2 hints in the trailer that it's his old place).
