HPFAN_2 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 If there is a thread like this ignore this one and point me in that direction. For me it would have to be Gabriel Yared's score for Troy i liked it until the wailing like a banshee track. After that everything just goes down hill. I expected a masterpeice.

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yes, I've been playing that too over the last few days. Great themes, nice orchestrations, and huge fun - I still can't believe this came from two MV factory workers.Marian - who just dug out Doyle's Donnie Brasco again.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I know where the other thread is, but I'm not giving any links today. I've been kind of all over the place with my scores lately. I've got them all in iTunes and I'm listening mostly on random. I have ID4 playing now, though (the OST).- Marc, going to Amsterdam in an hour to possibly look for some new CDs.

Horner's Troy isn't all bad.The wailing track, (mourning women i think) is jarring, but the others are fine, even the end credit song.At least this is a movie about greeks, and the near orient. Ethnic wail comes from there (or is mostly related there...) I like the source music because it's so 'turkish', like Iskenderum from Williams in LC.

Horner's Troy isn't all bad.Just that the lovely fanfares aren't by Horner...Regarding Yared, perhaps the wailing women track (Hector's funeral) is a bit jarring at first, but it's quickly grown on me. At least it sounds much more authentic than the typical Hornerish hollywood-wail. The biggest complaint I have towards Horner's score is that it doesn't sound appropriate for the setting in the slightest. It sounds American all over (especially Achilles's theme). But I guess this makes the mighty test screening crowd happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,645 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Close Encounter Of The Third Kind, which I bought recently (the expanded release). I have to say, although I've already heard all those great Williams scores like Schindler's List, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, E.T. and so on, I think Close Encounters is his best score to date. I was blown away when I first heard it.Concerning Yared's Troy : I think it's definitely the best score he has done in his carreer (depending on taste), but I wouldn't describe it as "brilliant".

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 The 13th Warrior, by Goldsmith. I really like the empowering main theme, except that it's played many times with very little variation. Still, there's some awesome horn stuff in this score which makes it pretty fun to listen to. Not a masterpiece by any means, but solid Goldsmith.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 The Incredibles is very heavily Bond influenced, so it's no surprise one of the tracks sounds like the 007 theme. I still like Road Trip.Also, I think Kronos Reveiled sounds very much like YOLT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 It was? And i never stated that i stopped listening to it, its just that when i did that detail buged me.Sorry, I assumed you knew . Brad Bird wanted a very 60's jazz style of music for the film and asked John Barry to score it. Barry, having not written a jazzy, Bond-ish score for twenty years, said he couldn't do it; that his writing had evolved too much and too far to go back. That was a pretty irrelevent story, (and I read it in an interview with Giacchino, so it's his take of things) but basically Brad Bird wanted a jazzy, Barry-esque, Bond-like score (ack! too many nouns into adjectives) and Giacchino gave him that.So the similarities are intentional. Or perhaps "007" was the temp track, thus being ordered to retain its sound. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever.For me one of the best tracks of the CD.I like very much the 007 theme, but in Thunderball is almost unlistenable due to repetition (I prefer the YOLT version). And i find Giacchino's too short Life is miserable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
