Well, it's definitely better than "Charge and Capture"... :(

Hehehe we are all taking it pretty hard aren' we? ;)

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Its not even Williams'.


You lost me there...what exactly isn't Williams? The No Man's Land track? It most definitely is. ;)


I would think It's based on "Charge and Capture". Bit slower.

Come to think of it, i hate it all around!!!


You wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord, singing "Subtle Plans Are Here Again."

As would I. The Oscars don't mean much to me unless I happen to agree with the results. ;)

I don't understand what you mean. The No Man's Land track is very different from Charge and Capture and is far faster and much more original. Keep in mind, he based a single cue off the temp track, big whoop! The rest of the action music is still vintage Williams and great to hear.

All I'm saying that the music(Charge) from the London stage play gives a certain colour/style to all action music in the film.

There is nothing wrong with it though.
