Josh500 1,615 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Well, who owns this album? If you do, give us your honest opinion on this! Personally, I don't have this (yet). But I'm thinking of getting it, mostly for completeness' sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,436 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I find it unappealing, and the title font as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,436 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Yeah not the most professional looking presentation. And that's all I can comment on since I haven't heard it Hey at least the music's out there, that's what we really care about, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I'll probably get this. Even though I'll probably listen to it only once or twice... Ever. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,488 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Taking everything into consideration (it's TV, it's very early on in his career) I give it a solid 3. Josh500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,472 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 60 % that’s the pass mark. That’s a score you need to know to understand the stylistic evolution of John Williams. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,451 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 A 2. It's fine for a crime jazz score, but rather interchangeable with other, similarly-themed scores he did at the time. It has the same DNA as his score for Altman's KRAFT SUSPENSE episode "Once Upon a Savage Night" -- which isn't so strange, since they're very much linked. As for the cover, you have to work with what you've got. The pilot has never been released, only aired once way back when and is not available for public viewing anywhere. To my frustration, I've never found it myself, and assume the pic is taken from a rare video found by Jeff Eldridge or someone at a video library somewhere. Or maybe press material. It's worth noting that untill PETE'N'TILLIE was released as bonus material on the expanded STANLEY & IRIS, NIGHTWATCH was the last, previously unavailable Williams score released. 6 years passed between them -- 2011 to 2017. I wonder how long we'll have to wait untill the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,491 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Wonder if that new restoration will revarnish it, making it not-actually-night again. It's a big question I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,472 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 In this score you will notice an « imperial » motive that will be developped many years later! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,451 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Sorry, there is no "Mercy" track on the album. But seriously, if you have a track or timestamp for where this alleged "Imperial March" motif pops up, I'd be curious to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,008 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 It's on the OST of The Empire Strikes Back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,472 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I didn’t wrote « imperial march », I wrote « imperial motive » and no, I will not provide you a track number and a timestamp you lazy sod! Holko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
