The poor man was writing themes left and right for AUJ and got half of them kicked out and most of them were quite excellent. That is true. I very much like all the trilogy music anyway. Just really stating where my loyalties lie, if I am to pick my favourite. It is the only of the three I listen to from start to finish on a regular basis. Speaking of Shore, I am now listening to another favourite of mine - Dead Ringers. A brooding, yet really tender, score that just recently got an official release from Howe Records.

Hope Howe Records will re-release this as it's been long out of print: Another reason why I prefer DOS over the other two is because it has the strongest thematic personality. The first score struggles a bit with that. Karol The old English folk song that opens this is achingly lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,467 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 DOS is easily the best assembled album of the three by far. No major highlights missing, every track feels like a contained piece with a unified musical idea with a beginning middle and end, and it flows well with good storytelling. The first and entries suffer from some weird editing, lack of a clowning spots and a severe case of herky jerky bouncing around in BOFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask because I have only heard one track; "Cantina Band", and I was not impressed. As you can see, you get very different responses from different people. In my opinion, the Skywalker Symphony recording is excellent and in a firm second place after the Gerhardt version of the SW suite (due to its strange sequencing, I mostly only return to Gerhardt's ROTJ for some tracks that aren't on other re-recordings, and I still consider his ESB a failure). The Skywalker album's weak spot is Here They Come, which is okay-ish and well played, but pretty much lacks the excitement of either the OST or the Gerhardt versions.

Leia's theme is very good, too. Actually, only the main titles are uninspired (but still unique for the strings reprise). Strings reprise?

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 It's got some great moments. I remember hearing the end of Warp Core Values for the first time and thinking, "well shit." But it holds my interest much less than the other two. It was weird, since the first impression was that Giacchino had really gotten a better footing during his hiatus, and this was definitely a more confident work. But I think as a result of the film itself, yeah, it has a bland characteristic. Drab, dreary, I dunno. Neither compel revists from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
