Roger's first clue for their next title

 

Quote

Feb 12th release

If the manufacturing and shipping gods smile upon us, expect then next release then. Some expanded edition for something from the mid-80s. Something like that.

Don't be ridiculous! In American the streets are obviously paved with good intentions!

Is there much unreleased material?

About 20 minutes plus possibly a few short unused pieces from the opening half of the film evidenced by the sheet music although I don't know if those were ever recorded.

No Child's Play 2, no sale!

That wouldn't be an expansion, you dolt! It'd be a premiere!

An American Tail would be unbelievable. My favourite Horner score for an animated film by far :)

To be honest, all of his scores for animated and children films are really good.

Tidbits, Teases and Taste Treats. Three terms the late Len Engel, veteran music editor at 20th Century Fox and friend to Jerry Goldsmith, would use in descriptions of various musical comings and goings in his work with Intrada, which was pretty extensive back in our early years. The taste treat comes this Tuesday, February 12. We’ll have our newest CD available on that day and it’s a good one. A nice expansion of an 80’s hit by one of our favorite composers. Melody and action galore! Check out our sound samples and view the artwork and contents on Monday the 11th, late in the afternoon our time.

 

The tease: I’ll be working here at Intrada’s studio this week with a terrific composer in attendance. He’s also a really good friend. We’ve released a number of his soundtracks in the past and are this week collaborating on a really big one, both in terms of scale and duration. The picture itself chronicles a famed American historical event. The score is by turns elegiac and powerful, moving and exciting. In my opinion it’s a truly great one. Look forward to it after we bring everything across the finish line.

 

The tidbit: A few listeners have written and suggested, in lieu of publishing some mammoth coffee table book covering our 34 years in business, I at least offer personal anecdotes gleaned from our work with numerous composers and their music. So perhaps I can toss some recollections out when I get opportunities to post in my corner here. They’ll be at random and sometimes pretty lame… literally just tidbits. Anyway, here’s one for starters: Back many moons ago, when arriving at Jerry Goldsmith’s home to pick up a master on a project we were working on together, I recall walking up his front steps with a smile. The cause for my grin was hearing way off in the distance the faint but unmistakable strains of The Blue Max, specifically the main title. I had to pause for a moment and think about it. Here was the great Jerry Goldsmith, listening to his own music just like the rest of us mere mortals would do. He was even conducting it, baton in hand, leading an imaginary orchestra sitting in front of him. Who of us hasn’t at some point conducted our own imaginary symphonies in our own living rooms? But this was Jerry Goldsmith, not just one of “us”. Turned out, he was practicing for an upcoming concert performance and nothing more. Or so he said to me a few moments later when the cue ended. Actually I prefer to think he simply enjoyed his music… just like the rest of us.

Could this be Trevor Jones' 13 Days?

I don't think anyone at the specialty labels considers Trevor Jones "a really good friend"...for Intrada it's probably someone like Lee Holdridge, Chris Young, Craig Safan, Bruce Broughton, Richard Band...these are living composers they have a close relationship with.

“may look a bit dated compared to Coco or Moana”

 

And close window, fuck this review, bye, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever read.

 

Thanks. Don't let your ass hit the window on your way out.

What he meant by dated is that it’s a little rough around the edges. Has anyone seen the Blu-ray or Netflix transfers of Land Before Time? They’re in serious need of cleanup or they need to use a master that doesn’t look like it needs serious DNR.

They're dated because they look like someone hand drew them. That's so dated. Animated films are supposed to look photo realistic, with high resolution computer generated graphics created by sweat shops in remote third world countries.

I wouldn't know. I don't watch Disney / Pixar animated shit. The guy who wrote that line probably does. He mentioned "Variana" or whatever the European title for "Moana" is, and when I changed it he said it's because of some dead porn star.

I think that starting in the early 1990s - around Aladdin, maybe, or Lion King - , at least in mainstream US movies  hand-drawn animation has its own distinct flavor, probably as more and more of the work was done on computers.  Very bold/bright colors, very smooth lines.  (IMO, animation lost a little bit of character in that transition, but that's just me).  Mainstream US animated films of the 1980s (not just Bluth movies like Land Before Time and American Tail, but also things like The Rescuers) definitely have a look and a feel to them that, to me, feels like it's very "of the time" - or at least the tail-end of an era that began, as someone mentioned above, in the 60s.

It's not even an insult to say that. It's just obvious. Look at visual effects. Everything is of its time with regard to visual effects, and I prefer those old fashioned dated visuals of ILM and other companies with models and miniatures over CGI any day. 

Look at that, I used the word dated.
