Pawel P. 738 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Legend is my favorite score from a fantasy movie, along with the Lord of the Rings. Goldsmith wrote an absolutely magical music, beautifully transferring listeners to another world. It’s also a very important score to me from personal reasons – it accompanied me once in the difficult, as I felt it, moment of my life. Alien of course I love too. I have an Intrada release, I absolutely adore it, but sometimes I go back to the Silva Screen version. I don't know what the reason is, but I like the sound of many CDs in which I got to know them, even if it is worse. For this reason, I am also happy to go back to the first edition of Night Crossing from the 80s - although the last one sounds much better and offers much more music. I have three Pappilon editions, including the newest one, and I also was very happy while listening to the Silva Screen few days ago. Yes, I’m odd, I know it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the left are the soundtracks by other composers. Generally speaking, I only have the CD's I want to have, but in the case of Williams and Goldsmith I try to be a completist. Well, almost all their albums are worth it On the left side at the top are mostly blu-rays. The third most represented composer in my collection is James Newton Howard (82 scores).

The rest are mostly heavy metal, but also some rock classics. Plus a touch of classics and jazz. Probably there are still 200 or 300 albums that I would like to add to my collection. Not more. I think I'm a little picky Of course, in the future it may change a bit. By the way, I work as a music and film journalist, and sometimes I'm also interviewing composers like Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer, Jan AP Kaczmarek, Abel Korzeniowski, and my recent conversations with Howard Shore and James Newton Howard are awaiting publication. I guess I should write something about myself in another thread. Josh500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyecks 33 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I have not counted, or updated my list in quite some time. I should do that. But at one point I had every Goldsmith and Williams cd that was officially released. Same with Elfman, Horner, and Zimmer. I have missed out on soooo many since I stopped crazily collecting like I used to, and that kinda put the damper. Cause now I can't catch up.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Dude, you act like that score is a crime against humanity. It's just a lousy Goldsmith score. He's done a couple of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Actually the whole movie is on YouTube. I watched it again, paying particular attention to the score. Sure, it's not Goldsmith's best work, but it's not that bad either. It's actually what you'd expect for this kind of movie. Some of you guys like to blow things out of proportion! I know that now. PS. Funny trivia. I love Alfred Molina! He was great when he played the villain in Raiders, and he's great playing the Muslim bogeyman terrorising the American woman! 😂 Unlucky Bastard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comforting string music, the terrifying, nasty, and rather cruel electronic noises... Nice contrast. It's rather interesting and also pretty listenable. Apart from the obvious problems the movie has, it's rather a memorable movie and score. Brundlefly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I'm still collecting, so calm down. I'm not done at all collecting the 60s and 70s. The Jerry Goldsmith part is continued on another tiny shelf. Inchon is a 1980 score. It was composed and recorded before every 1981 score. There are several traits of Alien and ST:TMP in the score. Concerning the musical development of the composer it is best integrated at that place. Besides itt seems the original sources of the recording habe already half rotten and dissolved when it was put on CD in 1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 So I'm listening to Not Without My Daughter right now (I'm really getting into it), and I gotta say I absolutely love it! Some of you guys made it sound like it's the worst garbage ever, so maybe my expectations going into it was extra low, but it's the truth! I love it! Especially the last track Home Again features some of the best and most memorable string writings by Jerry Goldsmith (reminds me a little of the suburbia of Poltergeist!). To say that I'm pleasantly surprised would be an understatement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
