Lurker 5 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Very much influenced by Stravinsky, but that doesn't hurt it. This is an album I thought we'd never have. Remind me to never listen to the supposed "experts" again.I've always wanted this music and now I have. It's a stuning release.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I've been listening to Horner's Legends of the Fall a lot recently. There's really not much distinctive about it, but there's just something to it that keeps drawing me back. There are numerous broad, moving themes and I can't help but envision the prairie when listening to it. Does the film take place in such a location?Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say I'm familiar with maybe 85% of Williams music and this cue is one of those that just totally comes out of no where in a very enjoyable way.

Morlock 11 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Indeed I would. Last score I listened to was Under Fire, while taking out my dog. It's one of Jerry's finest scores, positively brilliant in the movie. On the album, it's kind of spotty, but some of Jerry's absolute best cues are on there, most notably the wonderful 'Bajo Fuego', which I think is Jerry's single most infectious piece of music.

He's got some real fun ones, like Mars Attacks!, Beetlejuice, Men In Black, Planet of the Apes, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, some solid and appropriate ones, like Good Will Hunting, Big Fish, Spiderman, Sleepy Hollow, and then he's got some of the all time greats (IMO, of course)- like Batman, Black Beauty and Red Dragon.

Morlock 11 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I listened to Veronica Guerin. A fine outing by Harry, and a rare score with subtle Irish influences, instead of banging you over the head with theme. The highlight of the album is the beautiful, beautiful 'Bad News'. You don't hear something like that every day, especialy not on a soundtrack. The singing is beautiful, and Harry's deft accompaniement and expansion on it is also wonderful.

Morlock 11 Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Last score I listened to was Pinno Donaggio's Carrie. I bought this right after seeing the movie, and I liked it, but didn't really appreciate it. I sure do now. A great score. Carrie's Theme is a beautiful theme. The religioso theme for her mother is fantastic, not what you'd expect for the character. I love how at the mother's most violent moment he doesn't do something stereotypical like unleashing the string, he goes into this stunning piano motif. But my favorite cue has to be 'Sue's Dream'. The way he brings back the string motif from the dance is great. It's certainly fun in a macabre way, but it's more than that, as Jeff Bond very correctly points out in his liner notes. As he said, the music is "essentially sympathetic to Carrie, conjuring up the viciousness of her classmates' prank more than the danger of Carrie's supernatural abilities".

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I listened to The Fury, and now I'm finishing up The Witches of Eastwick.Is it just me, or is Eastwick incredibly awesome? I mean, I feel like it's underrated. No one ever bashes it, but I don't really hear it praised as much as some of JW other great scores. I'm sure the rarity of the OST has something to do with that. But man, this is some great stuff! End Title, Witches of Eastwick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really acompany the characters on their travels. This is a listening experience as enjoyable as they can get, even with the bad sound quality. Some great uses of the Nazi march, several standout tracks (like Berlin Air Terminal, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword, The legend of the Holy Grail) and one of the best unreleased tracks ever: The Power of the Grail. The rendition of the Grail theme in this track is simply awe-inspiring. What a great theme this is. One of JW's all time best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
