That's awesome. Not only is this a film that really deserves an isolated score (not for ripping the music - for seeing the movie with only the music and seeing how perfectly they complete each other), I also consider it De Palma's most underrated film. I hadn't even dared to hope for a Blu release, let alone one with a new transfer.

No hockey.

From what I know he didn't use any electronics. The low frequency sounds you hear in Main Titles, and Elliot explores are scratches of gongs (with various mallets). They produce exactly that sound..

Wojo the Schizophrenic.

So I assume Howard Shore decided at an earlier stage to use the theme?

An orchestral / action / random cue I started but abandoned: http://soundcloud.co...le/no-direction Do you think it sounds too Williamsy? ... Ah, while I'm here I might as well post here what I'm working on today! Only started it this morning but it's a bit more focused than that other track. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BxJchh4XMPInMUhqOGNJQ3dIVWc

Nor is later. I cannot listen to later Pink Floyd, nor to David Gilmour solo. I love their early period just after Barret. I love stuff like High Hopes and Wish You Were Here. And Gilmour's solo performances often top the "originals" there. "Middle" Floyd would be my favorite. Not too fond of they're very early and very later work. But pretty much everything they put out in the 70's is amazing.

True! Apart from Genesis, all Prog Rock was rubbish anyway! B.S.! Yes's Fragile and Close to the Edge are terrific, especially the title piece on the latter; it's literally like a rock symphony. As for the synths...I'm pulling out the old rotted horse carcass and I've got my sledgehammer. I think there were cases in the new Batman films where they worked (I like the little gesture at the start of the mountain climbing cue in Begins, Joker's siren worked pretty well, although I think it would be cool if that was like a parallel to Batman's two-note call, and he also had a full-out melody to utilize as well), but there were times where it was grating, and it sounded too much like they were just trying to be bada$$, and IMO failed--see the first scene with Lucius in Begins. I will universally say that I just don't like prominent synthestra at all. I fail to see why Zimmer, when he has an expensive orchestra at his disposal, insists on doing whatever he does to make it sound fake. It's just lame. Yes, Alan, you were quite naive.
