Posted by Miles Prower on 02 October 2012 - 07:18 PM

Nixon is the most underrated score in Williams' canon.

Oh good!  Williams is finally catching up to Jerry. :P

My life's going to be pretty German for a while.

#828533 The Dark Knight Rises SPOILERS ALLOWED Discussion Thread

Posted by Miles Prower on 20 July 2012 - 11:43 PM

Yeah, definitely.  Makes you feel like it's bigger than just Batman, you know?


#827655 What Is The Last Score You Listened To?

Posted by Miles Prower on 19 July 2012 - 04:12 AM

The Amazing Spider-Man

The more I listen to it, the more I love it.  It's not perfect, and I wish Horner had a longer main/end title to develop his theme, but it's still a blast to listen to.  Favorite score of the year!  Sorry John Carter, you get the silver medal.


#827234 La-La Land Records' HOOK (2CD Expanded) Discussion thread

Posted by Miles Prower on 17 July 2012 - 08:48 PM

It sounds to me like crocodile is disappointed with the actual music Williams' wrote for Hook, which is of course an act of high treason and punishable by death.


Didn't you notice his name?  He's biased! ;)


#826226 Hans Zimmer - The Dark Knight Rises

Posted by Miles Prower on 14 July 2012 - 06:59 AM



Listening to this now, I have to be honest... Zimmer did good here.  Can't speak for the rest of the score/album, or how it works in the film obviously, but Rise is a good track.  Even if it's largely a reprise of earlier films' material, this just got me pumped up for the movie.


#826139 The Official Michael Giacchino Thread

Posted by Miles Prower on 13 July 2012 - 10:37 PM

I didn't realize Nixon was a horror film with child vampires. :P

Seriously though, Let Me In definitely has its moments, and I'd like to hear more of his horror sound too.  But again, I'd like to see what Giacchino could do with grandiose drama.

EDIT: Way to make me look redundant, K.K.! :lol:


#825882 The Official Michael Giacchino Thread

Posted by Miles Prower on 12 July 2012 - 10:27 PM

Ya know what he should do more of?  Small movies.  Goldsmith and Horner did/do a ton, even Williams has his fair share, but Giacchino's largely doing big summer movies or CGI-fests (not that there's a huge problem with either).  And since he's said he'll mainly work with friends/Pixar at this point, that's all he'll be doing for a while.  Family Stone and 50/50 are the only ones that really come to mind, but it might not be a bad idea to vary his workload a little and do something that isn't action-adventure-sci-fi.

Just thinking out loud, of course.  I like his big scores as much as anyone. :)


#824903 The Amazing Spider-Man (2012 Reboot film)

Posted by Miles Prower on 09 July 2012 - 10:56 PM

I kinda prefer Raimi's approach to web-slinging.  The Evil Dead craziness worked well for those movies, gave them a unique style.

Anyhoo, this is interesting: http://badassdigest....ing-spider-man/

I predict a Superman Returns situation; we're not going to see any huge deleted scenes until this movie (or one of its sequels) underperforms.


#818504 La-La Land Records' Star Trek The Motion Picture 3CD set coming June 5th

Posted by Miles Prower on 13 June 2012 - 05:37 AM

Listening to the '79 film takes after having gotten used to the '99 CD... yeah, I still like the alternate takes better (certainly for the Overture, with that piano passage... my god!).

That's my single complaint about this set, I wish they'd remixed the album program from the multitrack.  You can hear the difference between the two... oh well.  The rest of it's spectacular, LLL and all involved should be proud.
