Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 While I rarely use Spotify, I went to listen to some Horner music over breakfast and coffee on this beautiful morning when I noticed they put together a Horner playlist. Pretty good so far, although they claim it's "the essential tracks", which obviously is not entirely accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shin Godzilla by Shiro Sagisu I loved the movie, and the music was definitely a highlight. Complements the serious, dramatic nature of the movie's "straightforward" tone while still being dynamic and inventive in its own right, and even some nice channeling of Ifukube at a spot or two!

Fancyarcher 350 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I first discovered Moon River on a complication CD when I was younger actually, and then I saw Breakfast At Tiffany's. Big fan of Mancini myself. I learned about his name as a kid, and I've been exploring his filmography and discography. Everyone thinks of him as the light cocktail jazz guy, but he could write some real "dark and scary" music too. I'd like to see full releases of Arabesque and Experiment in Terror myself.

Jay 37,339 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I think Henry Mancini is really great. I haven't listen to a ton of his scores yet, and haven't even seen most of the films he scored. But out of all the 60s film score music I heard, he easily wrote the most that I really like. And then he went on keep making continually fun Pink Panther scores in the 70s-90s too - I have no idea what his non-Panther work from the 70s-90s is like, but I want to hear it!

Some of his music from the 70's and 80's, is very interesting and different upon exploration. There's a lot of comedy scores as to be expected, and most of them very enjoyable (The Great Chefs of Europe and Silver Streak being particular favorites), but he tried twice to make "themeless scores" (sans the title), both for horror films. The second of which, his rejected score for Hitchcock's Frenzy, remains one of my "holy grails" in terms of replaced music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher 350 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'd also recommend Mancini's miniseries work. There's a lot to choose from though, since he did a variety of scored, and he had knack for writing themes, which helped. A lot of his scores are on youtube and spotify in full, but some of the more interesting stuff tends to be a bit harder to find (at least in the full), even though most of it, has thankfully been released.

I remember that throwing me for a loop when it first popped up in the movie. That idea gets some variation throughout the score rather than a complete 1:1 copy and paste, which is nice, but I still don't know--I wonder if it was Sagisu's idea or Anno's: "Shiro, this is the best getting-down-to-business music, you can't top it, and we gotta have it!" EDIT: Holy crap, I didn't listen to that Evangelion clip before replying; I didn't know he went full-on 007 with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
