Popular Post publicist 4,643 Posted September 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2017 The most delicious parody of Morricone's western style is...naturally...by the maestro himself. 'Il Mio Nome E' Nessuno' is a great movie and a great score (all germans growing up in the 80's can testify, it ran every two weeks and we always watched it). I await Tarantino covering the tune above in his next movie. It's deserving. Cerebral Cortex, Koray Savas and Nick Parker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Howard Shore This was my first time listening to it, after just completing my first listens to the OSTs of TTT and ROTK (I'd already heard FOTR a couple times). I actually have to say that, at least on first listen, I think I liked it better than any of the original three! However, just from some posts I've seen on this forum over the years I don't think that's a very popular opinion here. Cerebral Cortex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hellraiser by Christopher Young: What I like about Young's approach (inspired by the director/writer Barker) is its seductive and mysterious melodic beauty which then slowly peels away to reveal the more music concrète horror layer that consists of eerie gnashing and clashing manipulated sounds. Very effective and the succint album never overstays its welcome. Romão 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 It's a wonderful album, perfectly structured. And like the "smallness" of it much more that the more epic sound of the sequel, although I also enjoy that one Incanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott of the Antarctic (Complete Score re-recording) by Ralph Vaughan Williams: My first listen of this music outside the Sinfonia Antartica and I have to say it is wonderful music and surprisingly coherent and well flowing considering it made up of 41 individual cues, many of which are quite short. I look forward to delving into this further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Better than i remembered. Obviously modeled on Harry Potter and older Williams scores (those woodwinds!).

nightscape94 965 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Listened to most of Shore's The Return of the King complete recording the other day (I plan on getting back to the rest of it this weekend), which was on Spotify (I also noticed it's free on Amazon Prime as well). Which is good, since I've hated myself for not picking up the physical release like a decade ago when it was first available. I have the first two complete scores, but for some bizarre reason I cannot remember, I forgot to buy ROTK. It's an eyesore every time I look over at my shelf and notice the third one is missing. And now it's impossible to find at a reasonable price. But hey, at least there are other ways to listen to it. Angela's Ashes. Been a while for this one, and I forgot how short the program was, especially if you take off the repeated main theme at the end. Like a few other Williams' scores, this one works extremely well in small doses. Any longer and it runs the risk of overstaying its welcome, regardless of how lovely and beautiful the material can be. As it is, a great listen.

Yeah, I think there is something like 20 minutes missing. Plus the album is arranged into those suites. The re-issue is more than justified.

Even though it isn't entirely fair to call it a pastiche. The score is too well crafted for that. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
