  1. I swear some of the creatures even made similar sounds too I did not find them exploring yet another derelict ship/factory/base ruin whilst fighting a random monster all for the sake of something that was completely inconsequential to the story fun. Without meaningful context action is hideously dull
  2. Oh wow, that's quite tasteful and also a great track. Bodes well for his ability to adopt other's musical styles This track is really nice, I've been checking out a bunch of random stuff from his repertoire and I've pretty much liked all of them. Very excited to see what he does with Star Wars Oh this is quite John Williams-y (or more accurately his influences!
  3. Episode 1 was okay and decent setup for 3, Episode 2 was pointless, Episode 3 was good Trying to get enjoyment from this show really does feel like squeezing blood from a stone at times
  4. Ya can't say that and then not post the track
  5. Oo he's got orchestral chops, that could bode well indeed
  6. This was not the thread resurrection we were looking for
  7. I really loved that musical moment in the trailer...I shouldn't be surprised that it was actually Williams material
  8. Troy Baker He sounds convincing for most lines, but some I just hear nothing but his normal voice
  9. Gordy Haab is a bit of an uninspired choice. It'll sound like Williams but won't really be elevated beyond pastiche at least based on his past solo work.
  10. I'm surprised they didn't get the Afterlife composer again, he did a great job.
  11. A real shame and waste of resources and talent. The industry is showing no sign of slowing down its scope creep either, and consumer demand is partly to blame for that.
  12. Mandalorian Season One before a lot of the themes and cues started being overused to death and Andor I would rate quite highly. Andor's soundtrack in particular is a perfect marriage with the visuals of the show and elevated a lot of material such as the Funeral Dirge at the end of the season. I do not mind a change in musical identity provided it is not replaced with something generic (and fits the material well in a way that isn't jarring), and I'd say Andor and Britell by extension has quite a unique minimalist orchestral and electronic hybrid sound. Ludwig Gorannsson's Mandalorian is somewhat similar albeit more bombastic in the orchestration and thus more 'traditional' in that sense. Extra bonus points for Andor having unique variations of the main theme for every episode that is in itself its own tone-setter and musical storytelling device. The rest of the soundtracks are choppy/messy, distractingly inferior, or actively detract from the material even if they may sound closer to the traditional Star Wars soundscape. Spotting is going to be a huge factor in how I regard a soundtrack.
  13. It is indeed now the norm although arguably not a very effective process at making something that's quality
  14. I don't buy Ring Theory. Especially with the way Schilkeman tried to explain it by having all these different ridiculously convoluted caveats whenever it didn't fit the pattern, it smacks of confirmation bias and bending the movies over backwards to fit in that narrow perspective. It's especially telling how varying amounts of vagueness the comparative texts can be, stripped back just enough so it can superficially resemble whilst ignoring the wildly different contexts and details. I believe that there's intentional rhyming, I do not believe that it's as rigorous or fixed of a structure as Ring Theory makes it out to be.
  15. I feel like I knew exactly what kind of Doctor 15 was by the end of The Giggle
