Naïve Old Fart 9,490 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 A good score, from a touching and underrated film. Cate Blanchett's character was a stupid, selfish bitch. 1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,271 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 TWOK and Aliens were my two first Horner purchases, I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,978 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 My first encounter with Horner's music on album (without knowing anything about him) was on some s-f compilation which had some suites from The Wrath of Khan (main title) and The Search for Spock (disco version). I think that must have been one of those dodgy things where you have synthesised orchestra for the most part. But I realised only years later who wrote it. Before that, I must have heard his music in Braveheart but can't remember that making any sort of impression on me at the time. My first actually album I got from my mum for Christmas and that was Apollo 13. I really liked it but hated it was interrupted by songs and dialogue. The next one was Titanic a couple of years later. I sort of liked and disliked this one. Liked the muscular action music but hated the synths and Celtic stuff. Then The Mask of Zorro arrived and I absolutely adored this one (even to this day it's one of my favorites). I think my next one after that was Willow and I remember being really annoyed that certain 4-note motif from Zorro crept up. The one I bought very soon after that was The Perfect Storm which I liked (even though Filmtracks review told me not to). Then Bicentennial Man... And then many, many followed...

I think I have reached my breaking point with Enemy at the Gates which I think really overdid it in a couple of places. Oddly, even more extensive use in Troy doesn't bother me at all. I have made my peace with Horner and his crimes since then. It's not like you have any other choice. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One half is taken from the original Alien, the other half is stereotypical military music, thus I don't know which substantial merits remain to the score. But maybe I'm being too subjective.
