Do you think Saving Private Ryan is a masterpiece?
Richard Penna replied to Bellosh's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
HTTF is a nice piece slightly dethroned by the OTT ending where the orchestra and choir are absolutely belting out. I'd prefer a more straightforward orchestral approach without choir. -

Richard Penna replied to Bellosh's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I like the film - well directed and acted. The score is a mixed bag for me; some highlights such as HTTF but overall the score has too much of a monotonous sound for me to enjoy as an album. I'm not a fan of patriotic brass and strings to start with, but an hour of it tires me. No doubt orchestration enthusiasts go nuts and it works well in the film, but I don't find it works as well for listening. -

IMO there should be samples of every single track, not just half a dozen randomly selected tracks, some of which aren't unreleased music. I don't know about anyone else, but with a score like this where I've never seen the film and only have the prior release, being able to hear significant representative parts of the entire work before a purchase is a pretty critical factor. I don't buy stuff just because it's Young or other completist reason - it has to properly interest me. I bought Varese's Nightwing based entirely on hearing a large handful of samples and no other reason. Of course, instant streaming is the best way to address that...

There are a minority of cases where I think Varese's fee limitations actually helped, and I think this is one of those. Might pick it up eventually given that this should also have been newly mastered, but sifting through the CS on YT, whenever I get to a cue that's properly doing something, it's a cue on the OST.

Seemingly not - its recording engineer Geoff Foster works at Air Studios, London: https://www.discogs.com/release/4105352-Clint-Mansell-Doom-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack -

Boy, did we get #2 wrong. I have a track from Doom which appeared in Top Gear years ago. Does anyone do samples any more? -

I've never heard a note. I'm not a fan of Tyler outside of his Yellowstone universe work. -

Will John Williams score Steven Spielberg's new UFO movie?
Richard Penna replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Williams doesn't owe anyone another film score. If he wants and is able, he'll do it, perhaps with Ross' help. But no one should be surprised, shocked, betrayed or send hate mail to the composer who scores it, if Williams chooses not to. We were fortunate to get DoD out of him as a largely original score but we shouldn't expect it from him. -
