It was a promo sent to IFMCA members for consideration for voting the year it was eligible

 

Was it ever leaked online? There's a bunch of cues on there I've been wanting to hear for ages.

I absolutely love the bombastic Debney stuff, especially "Alara Hallucinates / Deserted Ship" at 4:54. I have no issues with the Goldsmith/Horner/Silvestri homages. I still get goosebumps at 6:20, even though it sounds straight out of Predators lol

I completely agree with your assessment of these scores. I find them highly enjoyable to listen to, with or without the visuals. Hopefully it was a good enough commercial succes to motivate them to release other seasons.

I forgot to mention. There's actually only 1 thing that bothers me a little with the score for the last episode, Mad Idolatry. At 1:25 or so of the track Searching the planet, Mcneely uses the exact notes heard at 0:16 of the track Leaving Home from STM. Even the rhythm is basically similar. I don't mind the hommages, but to me this one seems a little too close.

I felt similarly about the V'ger music homages early on in "If the Stars Should Appear"...McNeely adds in the new motif here and there, but it's overall identical to what Goldsmith wrote for TMP. It's kinda a shame because I know he could have done something great on his own without the temp track. His climactic cue from the episode is just incredible, and it's a total Goldsmith homage that evokes First Contact very strongly (but does not directly ape, like the earlier cue did with TMP).

Finally getting to listen to all of this... Awesome TV scores here! 

 

As I mentioned in the other thread. We all know temp tracks are obviously used here but... Did I just hear Horners Danger motif in the track "Alara Gets the Cold Shoulder"?

 

Either way doesn't matter The more of this they make the happier I will be :)

The Orville Season 2 is hopefully coming from us this summer. 
MV

 

For those who wanted it directly...much less of a wait than for the season 1 album. I *really* hope this is a three disc set this time, since there are two more episodes and some have very extensive scores!

It's always great to hear someone like Seth, who is high up in the world of media, talking about their love of film and tv scores. It makes me optimistic that someone with Seth's influence and talent is still a guardian of great orchestral music for media.

Wait, whaaat?!?

That's bizarre, considering how much of a soundtrack fan is in charge of that series.

I mean, for Season 1, 20th Century Fox TV Records released the soundtrack digitally, LLL was just able to get CD and Vinyl rights only.  If their edition of the Season 1 OST didn't sell very well, why would it be worth their while to invest in making a CD/vinyl of Season 2 happen?

 

20th Century Fox TV Records could certainly still release a digital Season 2 OST.

 

The flip side option is that the CD/vinyl of Season 1 sold SO well, 20th Century Fox TV Records is now going to release season 2 on those formats themselves.

 

Point is his post doesn't say a Season 2 OST isn't happening, he just says LLL isn't involved with it.

Sometimes I always wonder if Ron Jones should ever come back to Fox to give Seth the music he did ever since Star Trek: The Next Generation. Hell, CBS hasn't asked him to come back to write music for Discovery and Picard

Does he say if he'll be scoring any Season 3 episodes?


When I interviewed him about a year ago, it seemed he wasn’t...but it was where he broke the exciting news that he had just written and recorded a new version of his main title. Skip about an hour and a half in:

Haha, I was going to ask if new recording used it season 2 or if it was something they recorded for season 3, but then I realized that "a year and a half ago" was already after Season 2 ended.  Good lord, 2020 has flown by
