Luke Skywalker 2,383 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Awesome new visuals. Music meh, but at least they maintain the goldsmith fanfare.Best moment at 0:11* *Looking at this one ouwld think the universal studios are Based on Spanish soil! its the only recognizable mass of land, and in the very center of the screen in the whole piece...
hornist 1,261 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 This is very decent, most of you have this Goldsmith issue.The new base line is interesting, putting it down from E-Major to E-flat gives it some freshness.Definitely better than anything Zimmer brought to us in Oscars.
Marian Schedenig 11,694 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 This is very decent, most of you have this Goldsmith issue.It sounds like Wagner reorchestrating Mozart.
p0llux 435 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 it's got a superman/planet krypton feel to it with the new bass line
Jilal 681 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Awesome new visuals.

Jill Sandwich 11,165 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 That Horner logo really takes me back to a lot of VHS movie rentals circa 1990-1995.
hornist 1,261 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 This is very decent, most of you have this Goldsmith issue.It sounds like Wagner reorchestrating Mozart.Now THAT would have sounded cool!
Naïve Old Fart 13,021 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 5.1 is great for Jerry's superior original.Agreed, Quint, but which DVD or Blu Ray has the best 5.1 spread?At least it's better than the Warner Bros./"Superman Returns" fiasco.Still, nothing, IMO, beats the THX "sliding tone" logo, although I quite like the Dolby Digital "train". The CIC logo used yonks ago was meant to come from "A Gathering Of Eagles". Can anyone comfirm this?
Laserschwert 676 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 The Horner version reminds me of my excessive listening to the "Apollo 13" boot, where the logo music segues smoothly into the opening snares of the main theme.
scissorhands 16 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 The new base line is interesting, putting it down from E-Major to E-flat gives it some freshness.For me it makes very little sense, if it's not followed by a more coherent part. I think this is not well written. What is more, he destroys the antiphonal effect of the original theme.
chuck 155 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Brian Tyler talking about this new arrangement: Drums from all around the world: truly "Universal" as Tyler would say...
indy4 160 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Ah, maybe he just had too many people playing the same drum line near the end. That's probably why is sounds so sloppy. Love the low brass line under the Goldsmith theme.
hornist 1,261 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Brian Tyler talking about this new arrangement: Drums from all around the world: truly "Universal" as Tyler would say...I think more you hear the cooler it gets. And there is also Wagner Tubas!
crocodile 9,724 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Well, he's claiming it's a global company so it needs to sound global. And yet he didn't aknowledge Hawaiian culture by including ukelele. Oh and there is no duduk or balalaika. Come on, Brian, you can do better!Karol
hornist 1,261 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 If the original version weren't Jerry's, everyone would be happy for this.Come on, it is only Logo music.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 If the original version weren't Jerry's, everyone would be happy for this.If the original wasn't Jerry's, then Tyler's version would sound nothing like this. You are being nonsensical.
Quintus 6,495 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 How come Tyler got the gig anyway? Is he representative of the best Hollywood has to offer? Have we come to this?
chuck 155 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 How come Tyler got the gig anyway? Is he representative of the best Hollywood has to offer? Have we come to this?Maybe becuase Tyler had the most experience in reworking Goldsmith's scores into new arrangements (Rambo chief among them), he also said that it was like destiny that he and Jerry are connected somehow:
hornist 1,261 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 If the original version weren't Jerry's, everyone would be happy for this.If the original wasn't Jerry's, then Tyler's version would sound nothing like this. You are being nonsensical.What I mean is if the original was Gustavo Santaolalla's brilliant fanfare, no one cared if Tyler made a new version of it.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 If Gustavo Santaclaus made it, it would not have been as brilliant!Only Goldsmith....
crocodile 9,724 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I don't know about that. If someone could arrange that Brokeback Mountain theme for Goldmsith-like horns...Karol
chuck 155 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 First time I've heard this arrangement: Still not as good as JG's
chuck 155 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Now I understand what those strings are doing in "the making of" vid... Cuz I figured, they weren't there in the original centennial version.
ZackR 187 Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 What is that arrangement? Is it available anywhere other than YouTube? MSM 1
BLUMENKOHL 1,110 Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 John Williams actually took another shot at the Universal logo that was used only in the year 2002. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WknzJn33_y0I can't find a more complete version of it though. Interestingly it seems to be closer to Brian Tyler's.
chuck 155 Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Seriously? Must have given credence to this old thread:http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10493
indy4 160 Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I think I prefer Tyler's to Williams'. Williams barely changed anything.
MSM 194 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 What is that arrangement? Is it available anywhere other than YouTube?It is Tyler's. Pretty nice isn't it?John Williams actually took another shot at the Universal logo that was used only in the year 2002. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WknzJn33_y0I can't find a more complete version of it though. Interestingly it seems to be closer to Brian Tyler's. Are you sure Williams did this?I think I prefer Tyler's to Williams'. Williams barely changed anything.I think he kind of improved the harmonics.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 did JW do that one?
crocodile 9,724 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Well he did this one for sure.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tUeMOU2ITTgKarol
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Well yes.But JW adapting and conducting Goldmsmith is pretty rare
indy4 160 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 did JW do that one?Yes.Source? It's not on JWFAN's list of compositions.
Muad'Dib 2,059 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Well yes.But JW adapting and conducting Goldmsmith is pretty rareHe conducted Star Trek and Chinatown a couple of times, at least... It's not that rare.
BLUMENKOHL 1,110 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 did JW do that one? Yes.Source? It's not on JWFAN's list of compositions.The list is clearly not completely accurate then. John Williams recorded that along with the ET version for 2002. It is only used with Universal films released that year.
Quintus 6,495 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Lol*sarcasm*Well fuck you too.*sarcasm*Hey man, I know jokes are all about the timing, but did you need a DeLorean for that come back?!

crocodile 9,724 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I concur. Williams' version sounds too... I don't know... plastic?Karol
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 It does not have enough "oomph".
