Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Awesome new visuals. Music meh, but at least they maintain the goldsmith fanfare.Best moment at 0:11* *Looking at this one ouwld think the universal studios are Based on Spanish soil! its the only recognizable mass of land, and in the very center of the screen in the whole piece...

Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 This is very decent, most of you have this Goldsmith issue.The new base line is interesting, putting it down from E-Major to E-flat gives it some freshness.Definitely better than anything Zimmer brought to us in Oscars.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 That Horner logo really takes me back to a lot of VHS movie rentals circa 1990-1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 5.1 is great for Jerry's superior original.Agreed, Quint, but which DVD or Blu Ray has the best 5.1 spread?At least it's better than the Warner Bros./"Superman Returns" fiasco.Still, nothing, IMO, beats the THX "sliding tone" logo, although I quite like the Dolby Digital "train". The CIC logo used yonks ago was meant to come from "A Gathering Of Eagles". Can anyone comfirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert 473 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 The Horner version reminds me of my excessive listening to the "Apollo 13" boot, where the logo music segues smoothly into the opening snares of the main theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 The new base line is interesting, putting it down from E-Major to E-flat gives it some freshness.For me it makes very little sense, if it's not followed by a more coherent part. I think this is not well written. What is more, he destroys the antiphonal effect of the original theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Ah, maybe he just had too many people playing the same drum line near the end. That's probably why is sounds so sloppy. Love the low brass line under the Goldsmith theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we come to this?Maybe becuase Tyler had the most experience in reworking Goldsmith's scores into new arrangements (Rambo chief among them), he also said that it was like destiny that he and Jerry are connected somehow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 John Williams actually took another shot at the Universal logo that was used only in the year 2002. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WknzJn33_y0I can't find a more complete version of it though.
