The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Pemberton actually sounds like a cool option. Same with Hurwitz! Think of the source music! Goransson too! All good newcomer bets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I've noticed Zimmer's scores tend to sound "better" somehow played through decent speakers rather than headphones. I mean it seems to come alive a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,232 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Even pricey headphones are a crapshoot and may render some things without issue while totally garbling other things. Good speakers are the way to go if one has the space, privacy, and cash although room acoustics can trip you up there too. Zimmer's scores are very heavily produced but the dynamic range is often some of the best around in Hollywood, especially the film mixes that haven't been prepared for album release. I suspect headphones don't do it as much justice because of how wide the soundstage that he and Meyerson utilize tends to be. It's absolutely cinematic music meant to be heard in a cinema. At any rate, he would hardly be a bad choice for Bond for those or any other reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 While I'm sure Zimmer could produce a very fine score (considering how lowly I esteem the Newman ones), I think Bond requires (or rather, I'd prefer) something more...orchestral? Unless he was willing to meet in the middle, I'd say give it to a) Göransson because he can do a little bit of everything and he's got a bit of Barry to him, b) Pemberton because he can write for spy flicks, or c) Hurwitz because the source music would be a dream and he could certainly do great things with pre-existing material.

I specifically asked someone with no relevant knowledge to drag and drop two tracks of their own choosing from the browser. Of course you could find two examples showing the opposite. The point was to offer a quick rebuttal to your generalized bullshit and it happened to work out.

Dixon Hill 4,232 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Some of those Newman string/synth romances are so ravishingly beautiful but fleeting. I'm torn between whether or not delving into more detail would have been good or ruined the vague mystique of them. The action stuff is less easy to wax on about. Christ you just don't hear that kind of effortless lyricism much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Dixon Hill is Grey?! I was wondering who that was! 11 hours ago, publicist said: Yet the always sound like a somber variation infant that has lost its mother: where does that stuff come from? (i guess you could force a 3-minute tune out of Newman but it ain't easy). Newman always offers brilliance in doses, but usually struggles tie these doses with strong central ideas. Like a master improviser who gets lost in the nebulous space of his studio sessions. Though there was a time in the earlier days when he found a way to make these "pockets of sound" serve as strong/functional recurring musical ideas (think: A Series of Unfortunate Events). Skyfall has aged well for me though. Again, lack of memorable central ideas, and some pedestrian action aside, it musters a lot of effortless swagger that screams contemporary Bond: And then of course true to Newman, the lyrical stuff is extra haunting: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
