Fancyarcher 350 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Master of The World - Les Baxter On 4/22/2017 at 0:25 PM, kaseykockroach said: By some surreal miracle, a CD warehouse in my area had Intrada's release of "The Beast Within" by Les Baxter. Grabbed it and have been loving it immensely. This is some fine, fine horror scoring. I'm now curious about this composer. Any particular recommendations? Super late reply, but I've digging into a lot of Baxter's work recently, and I'd recommend Master of The World, The Pit & The Pendulum, & The Dunwick Horror, the most out of what I've listen to so far.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Independence Day (2-CD World Records) In some ways I prefer this over the LLL release, but probably because I became used to some of the editorial choices of the old bootleg. In this version, it opens with the superior and significantly more powerful and menacing album version of "1969: We Came In Peace", and the final battle music is presented complete and unaltered from the rescoring that took place to accommodate Randy Quaid's extended presence in the climax. The rescore as heard in the film and the main program of the LLL is certainly louder, more bravado and suspenseful, but the there's a power to the original music that seems to feel more musical. But in the LLL, they've taken that original music, broken it up into shorter tracks and relegated it to the bonus tracks section. And not to mention the bootleg contains the film version of "Target Remains" and the LLL doesn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shovel yourself out of the shit! Such a great score. Personally, I love the LLL expansion but the OST is still pretty much perfect. Having the emotional climax of the film complete and in order is a very satisfying listen for me: 1-21. Zihuatanejo 1-22. Longest Night (not on OST) 1-23. And That Right Soon 1-24. Escape 1-25. Shawshank Redemption (the film version on LLL, which I prefer, differs in orchestration details from the OST version) Can't go wrong with any release though. One of T. Newman's greats.

The film version has a more subdued version of the fanfare in the original version. All the beginning stuff is just edited out though. But you're right Stu, there is a slight difference in the arrangement. 7 minutes ago, Disco Stu said: T. Newman's Americana style is so wonderful.

I think I prefer his Americana to Williams. Newman strikes a better balance of Copland and the other sources you mention, but its his voicings that are really striking. Often sparse, but incredibly effective. There are plenty of shades of Shawshank in Lincoln. Might be one of the reasons I love that score so much. My favourite Newman is the one that channels the more "esoteric" harmonically (often with roots in jazz), which Shawshank has aplenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 On the whole almost all the alternate material on the LLL Shawshank release is very minutely different from their film counterparts, more in the performance than actual writing.

publicist 4,643 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Return of the Musketeers A dark horse in the swashbuckler repertoire, Jean-Claude Petit like his predecessor, Michel Legrand, chose an idiom beyond the late romantic Hollywood trappings, the baroque in this case, and most expertly transfers it to large orchestra (LSO, no less). Such resourcefulness usually was Jerry Goldsmith's domain (c. f. the eastern berber ethnicisms re-invented as western orchestral music in 'The Wind and the Lion') and like Goldsmith, Petit is able to make it sound traditional through his orchestration and thus creates what is maybe not a strictly new style but a very fresh and virtuosic one (compare that to Michael Kamen's clubfooted 1993 version). Quartet released a definitive version in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,715 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I enjoy both a lot actually. But I have to admit that as a culmination to the Hobbit trilogy BotFA doesn't quite meet expectations. PJ's brief seems to have been a modern bass heavy blockbuster war score and Shore had to comply. Gladly in spite of that there are some really great sequences, mostly in the opening half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
