I think there are only two properly household names right now: Zimmer and Williams. I've heard non-soundtracky people mention Shore, Gia, Powell and Hisaishi, although in terms of mainstream listening from them, only LotR strikes me as a work that will still be listened to (and whatever are Hisaishi's biggest works).

What I heard of Gods of Egypt was dull, dull, dull, probably because te film's a POS. I'd give Beltrami a fair hearing just like any other composer but I don't think his style is right for LotR, and I think he falls into the category of people who respects Shore's work too much to not at least ask him.

What's a score you wished John Williams did?
Richard Penna replied to Courtney Sees Ghosts's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Given Last Crusade (and the Ark theme) I'm up for any religious-tinted score where you get exquisite long-lined melodies for various characters. At least for 80s Williams - he excelled at that stuff back then. I don't think he'd write the same sumptuous material now.- 221 replies

That's an interesting one - two fantasy scores but one a bit more piratey, and with a slightly Irish flavour to TP for no real apparent reason. I'd probably give TP to Williams merely because I think Atlantis is a slightly more consistently enjoyable score. TP has the fantastic Jim Saves The Crew but it's amongst a few highlights in a slightly uneven work.- 221 replies

If nothing happens within the next couple of weeks to coincide with the start of the new series, I think we're looking at either a release in the late Autumn (i.e. some time after the series finishes) or the same timing as series 10 (so, forget it). There's more quotes from Gold here: In answer to his last part, if an album was sitting on his agent's server and hackers got it, and everyone was excited.... I completely fail to see what the problem is! The album has been made and is sitting on his agent's server.... how about you release it, Murray? You don't need some massive multi-billion dollar marketing compaign requiring an album to be completed months in advance to press CDs. Drop it digitally, ask Silva to send out an e-mail and watch the fans swarm. The fact that people wanted to resort to hacking indicates how much they wanted to buy it! FFS.

Label Threads The Official Intrada Thread
Richard Penna replied to Trent B's topic in General Discussion
I saw the movie years ago and don't remember anything particularly distrating, but I picked up the album that someone put out and long term it's largely failed to maintain my interest outside of the great main theme. -

I'd agree actually - I find many golden age scores far too overbearing in context for my tastes - a huge orchestral overture or crescendo when not an awful lot is happening on screen. I found that with a few clips of The Godfather and with many dialogue clips from the 50s/60s - the music feels like it's doing too much in the scene. Partly taste, partly changing musical fashions. -
What’s a score you wish John Williams hadn’t done?
Richard Penna replied to JTN's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Tbh I'm not sure which 'sources' I'd prefer were correct. If Erik's right, it means that someone is either misinterpreting or just making up negative notes from Williams. If he's not, then Williams has made the occasional comment about another composer's choices regarding his material and someone's decided the world must be told. Either way someone out there thinks that any real or perceived creative ills against his higness must be front page news. How pathetic. -
I agree with all of that regarding why it was a bad tenure, but it would remain true even with another male actor. Whittaker is witty and fun when given good scripts. Nope, its death knell was Chib.

Huh? What's it got to do with Whittaker?

Interesting... you have to wonder where rumours like that come from. Several I've heard revolve around Williams being unhappy about material produced by someone else - they have the whiff of a fan trying to manufacture sympathy for their idol. -

I have no idea whatsoever what the plot of Flux was.
