Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Someone want to PM me the next FSM releases?I've never heard the Gremlins theme, but I'm guessing it must be good because nearly everyone on here loves it!

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I present to you: The Gremlin RagIs that one of the highlights of the score? If so, then I do not think I will be buying a Gremlins CD if it was ever released. But hey, more for you guys, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wycket 36 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I wouldn't mind Gremlins, as I used to love the Gremlins theme long before I ever got interested in film music. Its so 80s and yet so perfect. Probably would be more of a nostalgia buy than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Oh, I listened to all four minutes or so of it, the "slow and quiet" beginning was my favorite part. I am not sure if I should mention this, but I am beginning to think I am not really a fan of Jerry Goldsmith (though I do love The Omen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I only like a handful of his scores.Off the top of my head: Gremlins, Dennis The Menace, Great Train Robbery, The Edge, Congo, The Mummy, Air Force One, Chinatown, Under Fire.

John Crichton 4 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Speculating is one thing, deliberately posting future release info discovered through nefarious means that they want to keep secret until they announce it for various legitimate reasons is another thing entirely.Should FSM do more to keep things they want secret secret? Absolutely! But that doesn't excuse it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,064 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Speculation is completely different because you have no idea if you are right or wrong. The labels give you clues and people have fun with it.And while the labels should probably find a better way to store their images it's plain rude to post something you had no hand in working on especially when it's not ready to be announced yet.

But hey, more for you guys, right?One of them. The synth stuff may take a little getting used to, but there's great stuff in the score. For the rag, I much prefer the sequel version. There's only a brief bit at the end of , but it also includes the brilliant Pot Luck (nearly full length, too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 While i consider Gremlins a classic 80's score ...Gremlins 2 is little more than a coaster for me (the opening track is good ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 That can go both ways too for Williams. Not everyone thinks all of Williams' works are a master piece. Hell I don't think not every one of Goldsmith's works are master pieces but I do prefer him over Williams'. Only the 'hardcore fanboys' think that everything Williams' writes is a master piece.Plus not everything from Williams will get released, at least while he's still alive.

Ollie 1,064 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Well Williams has nixed a release of The Sugarland Express, which is a shame because it's the first film with Spielberg. But again, if you look at Williams' discography you will see he was pretty much the first composer to have expanded scores released and he is well represented on CD. I mean look at it this way, Williams assembles and records cues especially for the original E.T. album. Goldsmith scores Gremlins and can only get 16 minutes of score on the album.

Richard Penna 3,753 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I've never been a fan of Goldsmith; I guess his style just doesn't work for me, and I don't like the way he uses synths.Sure, I like a selection - 13th Warrior, The Mummy, The Edge and some of his Trek music, but he isn't a composer I get excited over. I even bought his 40 Years compilation over Christmas in an attempt to get more acquainted with his music. I liked most of the first CD but then my interest started to taper.And I think I've ascertained that the next 2 FSMs are LP reissues, so I can probably give them a miss.

Trent B 337 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Dante's Peak only had an OST release, never a legit release for a complete score.

Richard Penna 3,753 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Someone over at Intrada claimed that there are two isolated scores on the R1 DVD (one with the OST, 30 mins, the other with the full score), but the thread died at the point of me asking the guy for pointers to where the second one was. Honestly, I could barely concentrate at work once I read that - just wanted to get home and look at my DVD And I think the popular footwear item going around wouldn't be missing a key cue if there was a complete iso, so yes, I'd say those claims are BS.Although tons of game review sites all list the following easter eggs for the DVD, but I think it's typical lack of knowledge of what a score actually is, plus there's no feature called 'creating a volcano' featurette on any version of the DVD I've found.SoundtrackSelect the "Getting Close To The Show" feature. Choose "Audio" and press Up to select "Audio 6".Musical Score SoundtrackStart the "Creating A Volcano" feature and press Audio Change to hear the theme written by James Newton Howard's theme and score by John Frizzell.But there are so many more scores from around that period which I'd probably buy just from samples.

Jay 37,474 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I don't think it's been mentioned here, but there's been lots and lots of signs pointing towards the big July FSM release being Gremlins. FSM is premiering it at Comic Con.... and guess who was just announced as appearing at Comic Con this year?Thursday, July 23, 2009 - (...) Legendary director Joe Dante (Gremlins 1 & 2, Innerspace, Explorers, The Howling) makes his return to the genre he knows best with the 3D thriller The Hole. Three kids come face to face with their darkest fears after they unlock a bottomless hole in the basement that makes their nightmares come to life. Join Dante-along with actress Haley Bennett (The Haunting of Molly Hartley) - as he discusses his return to thrillers, working in 3D, and The HoleOf course, a lot of guys on the FSM boards are still predicting an expanded Star Trek score, Back to the Future, Goonies, Batman, Innerspace, etc as well...
