Josh500 1,615 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 All used, but in mint condition. I paid around 5 Euros each. They are: The Haunting Rudy King Solomon's Mines The Edge Chain Reaction What do you think? Is it a nice haul or what? So now I own around 80 JG scores!

1977 1,743 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Nice! Love The Edge and KSM. Is the latter the Intrada or the Prometheus? Josh500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amer 2,095 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Except for RUDY all the others received expansions and remasters. Did you get those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,490 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 THE EDGE and RUDY are great. For the others, I have a more lukewarm connection. But nice haul nonetheless! Josh500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yavar Moradi 2,593 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I agree with Thor on those two being the best of the bunch, though I like the others too (better in their expanded versions, of course!) Most fans love King Solomon's Mines but it's probably my least favorite of the five. Yavar Josh500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The Haunting is a far better score than 'Rudy'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yavar Moradi 2,593 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I actually enjoy Chain Reaction and how Goldsmith used the electric guitar in the score. The DE was a noticeable improvement for the score as well. On the other hand I understand why other people enjoy KSM and it does have its moments...I just haven't really been able to warm to it in general.

Rudy KSM just has too many bravura parts to be rated below the others, whereas Rudy's saccharine americana earns far less reward points for either originality or compositon.

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Americana? Meanwhile emotional and American seems to be the same. MUSIC-WISE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 At least the kind of sentiment often found in american movies. Which are, thank god, not the only way to handle such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the OST albums, except for KSM. ________ Since last year I started seriously collecting JG albums, but I don't really know why. As far as film music goes, I listen to JW 95% of the time, maybe only 5% to JG. But that's for now. Maybe I'll get into a JG phase some day....

I think in the case of RUDY, it's a good way. It has this sense of undilluted, emotional immediacy and transparency which I really like. I find it more interesting and enjoyable than a lot of Williams' own Americana efforts in recent years, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 In a nutshell, you can feel Goldsmith's affinity but sadly also a then-apparent disregard for (almost) everything he once stood for, namely breaking with worn clichés and finding unique musical solutions for the filmic situations at hand. Unsurprisingly, all the testosterone football stuff comes off best, while the endless repetitions of the sugary main theme in the same flat harmonic settings feels like a defeat. It's not 'bad' by any means but it was a playground better suited to guys like Barry, Horner or...ahemm..Portman. Of course, compared to the junk he often was scoring at the time, 'Rudy' must have felt like a precious gift so i cut it some slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hear a continuous sense of humour in the music, which makes it a perfect fit for the entertaining and ludicrous movie. 1977, Josh500 and publicist 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to correct the audio pitch boost caused by the mastering error (48kHz vs 44.1kHz) using Audacity or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
