  1. Does anybody have a screenshot of the pre-2002 forum? It has dissapeared from my memory...
  2. Two other phases to not forget : his gothical period (Fury, Dracula, TESB) and his post-modern sound (Always, Presumed Innocent, Boston Pops albums, Home Alone)
  3. Sneakers is Horner at his early 90's best! It's an A-tier score by him. playtronics break-in is always in rotation for me, it was his period with a lot of John Adams and Philip Glass influences. I'm still surprised they decided to go with it, considering it leaked fully a couple of years ago.
  4. Another year... another hopeless wish for : STAR WARS : The Complete Soundtracks - Volume 1 (The original saga)
  5. Yeah the single thing most people said back then was that the original release was serviceable for the movie, but on the album it's just too long. I guess there are gems hidden in the expansion? (3CD, even with the original tracks, still means 30+ minutes of expanded score vs 66min of the original)
  6. There is a tracked part from Remembering Petticoat Lane that could find it's way into this release (as an ALT). Perhaps the inclusion of percussion-only (or -less) tracks? Ripples and Corporate helicopters have sound-effects in them IIRC (like a single synth note).
  7. I guess it can be done in 300pages, but I could easily see it brought up to 500/600 pages (editor might not like that LOL). It depends how far in time it will go.
  8. My guess is that since Sneakers leaked pretty much entirely, I would rather have stuff that we haven't had the chance to listen completely (Zorro, etc...).
  9. Let's not forget the Disney Star Wars intro, which is a tragegy by itself for not using John's thematic material and creating a Marvelisation of the SW universe :
  10. Warner Brothers plasters his Harry Potter score pretty much anywhere they can (compared to any music by Doyle/Hooper/Desplat). So I guess he *is* open to the merchandising of his music.
  11. He wasnt there obviously , but the Montreal Symphony Orchestra just had a beautiful JW concert the past two days, a top world orchestra playing seriously and not just for the pops : Korngold - The Sea Hawk theme Williams - Tuba Concerto Williams - E.T « Flying theme » Williams - Suite from Harry Potter (Hedwig’s Theme - The Sorcerer’s Stone - Fawkes the Phoenix - The Chamber of Secrets - Aunt Marge’s Waltz - The Knight Bus - Witches, Wands and Wizards - A Bridge to the Past - Harry’s Wondrous World) Williams - Suite from Star Wars (Main Title - Princess Leia’s Theme - Throne Room & End Title) Williams - The Empire Strikes Back « The Imperial March »
  12. For the future of classical music, we've had our first baby steps in the past half decade with all those private companies (Cineconcerts, FilmConcertsLive, GMA, etc..) doing live-to-projection concerts. The audience has embrassed this. Now we even have the NY Philarmonic who is doing Herrmann's Vertigo next year. This is another baby step. In the future, perhaps the movie itself won't be necessary anymore, we could have a complete TESB score with only the music (no click-track situation) instead of only doing suites or smaller compositions like the Asteroid Chase. Anyway it will be tested one day, to consider some movie soundtracks as full symphonies.
  13. On a similar note, I would really love to have a live concert experience where there are no movie sound dialogue/sfx, just a silent movie projected with subtitles and the orchestra playing. Just imagine going to the concert hall, watching TESB done that way!!!
  14. Nice Goldsmith channeling a-la-Lionheart or Small Soldiers, but the orchestration feels also like his own Speed Racer, with the drum kit and bassline.
