I've been listening to the OST for the first time in a while.

It's certainly an interesting entry, working perfectly in context, and pretty good on its own.

I don't hold this up with many of the other scores, but it's a pretty good score.

[tharpdevenport]

Come to think of it -- the Trek scores I didn't enjoy are pretty small. I didn't not like Brian Ty;er's two "Enterprise" episode scores.
And, still on "Enterprise", I found Kevin Kiner was bad, too -- even bringing down Dennis McCarthy when working together.

Don't care for Giacchino's film score. But damn near hated Jerry's Nemesis. The only Trek film I left remembering nothing about the score of, other than the opening or end credits being vaguely like an idea I had thought it might be, a month or so earlier before the film.

[Drax]

Nemesis is a polarising score, it seems. I remember wanting the soundtrack badly after first seeing the film.

[Wojo]

I even offered my arm and leg for it. Ending up getting it, too.

Just can't ride a bike that well anymore.

The OST for Nemesis isn't that great, despite the fact that Robert Townson hailed it was a good OST. The nearly complete (missing 2 tracks) score makes a much better listening experience. There's A LOT of great pieces left off of the OST.

[Wojo]

The best bits are the inclusion of the pulsing Starfleet motif, making its first (?) appearance since The Motion Picture.

Not necessarily just those but other stuff too.

"Preparing For Battle"
"The Battle Begins"
"Teamwork"
"Full Reverse / Riker's Victory"

Just a small tip of the ice berg. Now grant most of the best stuff is on the second disc but as a whole over all the nearly complete score is definitely a better listening experience.

Hell being the Trekkie I am, at first I could NOT get into the score for Star Trek Nemesis. It was only after the nearly complete score leaked is when I was able to get into it and now has become one of my favorites.

OH, he did far more than that. Remember that announcement for the CD? It's no longer on Varese's site, but thankfully Movie-Ware.net preserved some of it in their review:

"Goldsmith's greatest Star Trek score since ... Star Trek: The Motion Picture"; "the most aggressive Star Trek score ever"; and above all "as epic as anything the legendary composer has ever written."

That's not just an overstatement, it boldly lies like no other lie before. This is EPIC false advertising.

[Drax]

Calling it an "aggressive" score is not inaccurate. It really packs a punch when it hits its heights. The OST just suffers from some poor track selection with some of those more ominous cues weighing down the overall listening experience.

No, that's an opinion. I think it's lovely Townson was so enthusiastic about the score (which is a fine score) given it was Jerry's swansong for Star Trek. Whether or not you agree with him is inconsequential, or.maybe you'd prefer him to have said: "I enjoy this score but others may not"

[Demondm810]

I love Nemesis. I've been listening to it non-stop for about 2 days now. The First Contact-Insurrection-Nemesis trifecta is sublime.

To everyone... may you have a Happy New Year!

As today kicks the new year off, all of us at Intrada are already knee deep in projects. To be honest, what we have lined up this year is the most ambitious slate we've attempted in our 26-year history. Hopefully there will be something for everyone. Look for some pretty sensational releases coming courtesy our partnership with Disney. In fact, projects with virtually every major studio are now under way... including a milestone new series with one of them. Look for classic recordings you thought you'd never see available. More details on that soon! Even something in the Excalibur series. Just loads of releases for you to choose from. I can't expect you to support them all... but hopefully there are numerous new things coming from us that will tickle your fancy throughout 2012.

And so, with lots of excitement for Intrada ahead, and knowing that numerous other soundtrack labels will be abundant with cool releases... may this new year bring forth musical joy to us all.

Sounds VERY exciting!!!

[Marian Schedenig]

Oh my.

[Jason LeBlanc]

A "milestone new series" with a "major studio".... hmm. Does Lucasfilm count as a studio?

FYI, today's "Big Six" major film studios are: Universal, Sony (Columbia, Tri-Star), Disney (Hollywood, Pixar), Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount, and Warner Brothers (New Line).

[Trent Bennett]

I wouldn't count Lucasfilm...unless it maybe something other than Star Wars. MV told me that Sony wants to keep Star Wars for themselves. Now if it's something like Indiana Jones that would be a different beast all together.

[Romão]

Or the Lucasarts adventure games (personal dream project).

But I am very excited about the new Excalibur title. What score should we expect a re-recording of? All the previous Excalibur titles were absolutely stellar (excepts, perhaps, Spellbound)

[Faleel]

If it were a williams, I would love a Towering Inferno re-recording.

[Charlie Brigden]

I would kill for Intrada/Disney to do a RATATOUILLE expansion.

[Trent Bennett]

I'd rather have a complete release for The Lion King and Aladdin.

[Faleel]

Peter Pan or Swiss Family Robinson for me.

[tharpdevenport]

I guess this means another year of no "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure". :-(

[Stefancos]

It's Jaws! Has to be!

[Demondm810]

I'd rather have a complete release for The Lion King and Aladdin.

Yes, Lion King and the Menkens are hopefully a priority.

[Marian Schedenig]

Much more interested in Robin Hood.

[Stefancos]

Only if it's Prince Of Thieves

[shockwave]

Dare I dream of maybe a complete score to Willow....

[Jason LeBlanc]

Proud Men / To Heal A Nation by Laurence Rosenthal
and
Rampage by Elmer Bernstein

are both going OOP on January 17th.

I wonder if that is also the date Intrada's first batch of 2012 will drop

[Jason LeBlanc]

Nope! They are going to have releases on Monday!!

Two titles, both Special Collection. And both from the same composer...and same year!

Source: http://www.intrada.n...php?f=12&t=4571

Doesn't really help narrow it down, does it?


It won't be Basil Poledouris/1982 because Doug or Roger said Conan The Barbarian would be unlimited (So a MAF, not a Special Collection title).

Some random guesses:

Georges Delerue - 1983 - Something Wicked This Way Comes, Silkwood, Liberty Belle, Confidentially Yours, One Deadly Summer
James Horner - 1981 - Deadly Blessing, The Hand, The Pursuit of DB Cooper
James Horner - 1983 - The Dresser, Brainstorm
James Horner - 1985 - Volunteers, Cocoon
Jerry Goldsmith - 1974 - Chinatown, SPYS, Winter Kill, QBVII
Jerry Goldsmith - 1978 - Coma, Swarm
Jerry Goldsmith - 1981 - Raggedy Man, Night Crossing
Michael Kamen - 1989 - Road House, Rooftops, Renegades
Basil Poledouris - 1989 - Farewell to the King, Wired
Basil Poledouris - 1990 - The Hunt for Red October, Quigley Down Under
Basil Poledouris - 1993 - Robocop 3, Hot Shots Part Deux, Free Willy
Basil Poledouris - 1994 - The Jungle Book, On Deadly Ground
John Williams - 1975 - The Eiger Sanction, Jaws
John Williams - 1978 - Jaws 2, The Fury
John Williams - 1987 - Witches of Eastwick, Empire of the Sun
John Williams - 1993 - Jurassic Park, Schindler's List

Elmer Bernstein? Leonard Rosenman? Laurence Rosenthal? John Barry? Jerry Fielding?

[Jason LeBlanc]

No one wants to speculate with me?

I miss Olivarez

[Stefancos]

Who?

[Jason LeBlanc]

I forgot about Alan Silvestri:

Alan Silvestri - 1985 - Fandango & Cat's Eye
Alan Silvestri - 1986 - American Anthem, No Mercy
Alan Silvestri - 1989 - The Abyss, Back To The Future II
Alan Silvestri - 1991 - Shattered, Ricochet, Father of the Bride
Alan Silvestri - 1992 - Stop or my Mom Will Shoot, Ferngully, Death Becomes Her, Sidekicks
Alan Silvestri - 1993 - Super Mario Brothers, Cop and a Half, Judgement Night, Grumpy Old Men

[tharpdevenport]

IS that what they're calling it these days?

[Faleel]

I hope its this!

[tharpdevenport]

I wouldn't bet money on that.

John Williams - 1979 - Dracula, The Fury

[EhTar]

Jason, Intrada already released Delerue's Exposed last year.

As much as I would love a Williams double-feature, I don't see it happening...

[Jason LeBlanc]

Thanks!

Yea I doubt it's Williams as well.

[Demondm810]

Probably Horner.
