Jay 37,364 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I have no idea what it is then. It's unusual for them to not tell us what title will be on sale any amount of time less than 7 days beforehand (other than Black Friday). So maybe it's something special. Or not.

Jurassic Shark 12,076 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I'm sure Kingsbury Row has a lot of similarities. My point is just that there's a difference between inspiration and grand theft audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's the 5th and a few more notes, but it never sounded conclusive to me. The same SW snippet reminds a friend of Bruckner's 4th, and it's probably about as close as the Korngold (plus Bruckner repeats it, like Williams does), yet it never even occured to me. Also, aside from that bit, the only clear Korngold parallel (and that more in style than in notes) is in Chasm Crossfire. I'd say the SW/Holst parallels are at least as strong as the Korngold ones.

I don't mind calling it a homage - my point was that they're very similar compositions. Both are great, though. Btw, which sequence in Hook is similar to Delerue?
