Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Bad Girls After seeing the movie for the first time last night, I figured I'd give this a whirl. Although a bit generic, it hits the right tone for the film. I was tempted a few times to pick up th LLL but the extra tracks seem to just be short 40 secondpieces. The OST seems to have all the highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 The main title piece with the synclavier is a proud aspirant for 'worst Jerry tune ever'. As up-tempo americana romp it works, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 The River Wild OST Everything that defines a 90s Goldsmith score is right here, lush romantic theme, clicky synth pads for the baddies, blasting action and rhymic suspense cues.

publicist 4,643 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 The Maurice Jarre rejected score is more sophisticated but also awfully misguided in its overwrought action music.

Incanus 5,714 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The Score by Howard Shore: Jazzy heist music in modern idiom but with nice genre nods to both spy movies and thrillers. Shore-isms abound but this is a very entertaining album that is constantly on the move with nervous energy. Always a pleasure to hear the composer's range in these smaller less full symphonic ensemble driven pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Always loved this lush fairy tale theme. Unfortunately, the rest of the score is very eclectic - to put in in polite terms. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,336 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Mark Mancina - Twister (LLL) Great! Michael Giacchino - Star Trek Beyond (Varese DE) Great score, stupid title John Williams - Return of the Jedi (Complete) Masterpiece! James Newton Howard - Waterworld (Complete) I've listened to this 2-3 times now since the LLL announcement. I am in the camp that there is some very good action music in the complete score that wasn't on the OST, and the complete and chronological score is a good listen that never gets boring. That being said, I do agree that JNH picked all the best cues to make up the OST, and did arrange them in a good order ot make a great listening experience. I think the score is kind of like Cutthroat Island in that regard. That score also had a long OST with all the right highlights chosen, and presented completely out of order, and a later 2CD complete release that some really appreciate, and some think is too much music and the OST is enough. I think the LLL Waterworld will receive the same commentary. John Morris - Spaceballs (LLL) Heh, great fun! The main program is all you need, don't bother with the bonus track section. 45 minutes of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karol I remember I wasn't at first particularly impressed but on subsequent listens JNH's concept and thematic ideas and development actually felt really strong and it is another score that transcends the film awful it was written for. As I have said before all the JNH/Shyamalan collaborations up to After Earth have been more or less impressive or downright brilliant whether understated effective whispering suspense like the Sixth Sense or the lyrical rural ghostliness of The Village. Actually LLL should do a whole expanded series on these scores. I do not deny that I would e.g. like a complete version of The Last Airbender with full choir.

publicist 4,643 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The last time i have listened to these in succession was probably in 1995. This 1960 Technicolor MGM/Michael Curtiz/Tony Randall movie ran on west and east german tv every second week in the 80's. It sports a great Jerome Moross americana score ('The Big Country's little brother) and is etched into my subconscious more than any Star Wars or Ben-Hur. It needs a remake, with a score by Lorne Balfe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
