Oh please. I've visited this board for years, almost 10 years without signing up. Doesn't matter how long someone has posted or how many. There is such a thing as lurking and observation. In fact I tried to sign up YEARS ago but couldn't because there was some sort of ban, which made no sense considering I'd never registered here before. Publicist was the number one person I'd associate with a bad taste and bad impression this board has. Remember the FSM board's criticism of this place? You think guys like him win any of you new members willing to put up with crap like that? He's on ignore, and if you all want to condemn me for calling out a jerk, then I guess he's in good company. I have enough of that shit in real life.

Standing on its own, THAT score above sounds pretty great. With the film....well... Processed and said. Past tense. Let the man rest at least you can say Yared's still working and well. Also, come on....you and many others on boards like this say pretty terrible things about people all the time. Whether you know them personally here or elsewhere or not. Just because you do it from behind a keyboard doesn't change a thing.

How about you quote the whole thing rather than just one small part to riff off with that 'bipolar' remark? Which doesn't even make sense by the way.

You just gave me an idea for a project.

That's quite ironic because of you're someone who has tired of the bombast, most of the music in the expanded iD4 is softer, mysterious, very emotional. The OST was too narrowly focused on action.

Yes, and that pilot score is what I'm referring to. It's still to this day my all-time favorite score for a television series.

I can tell you this: It is indeed the Britten quoted "Troy" cue that is left off of this album for licensing reasons. As for what you said, well....Cry me a river...Are people always this bitter? And why be bitter anyway? Unless someone literally pisses in your corn flakes, what is with all the hostility? Horner was always clear about this - when he quotes someone he's deliberately NOT hiding it, he's making it as obvious as he can and building his music around the quotes. Why this still plugs butts around here and elsewhere is just plain sad. I mean come on, of all the things people complain about...I've never once in my life understood the bitterness because to me it's right up there with people butthurt over superhero casting choices.

Yes, Courage Under Fire is a strange album. Much of it isn't in the film, and what's in the film largely isn't on the album. It's one of my favorite scores based on both film and album.

In no order: The Amazing Spider-Man Living In The Age Of Airplanes The Perfect Storm Searching For Bobby Fischer Courage Under Fire Those are my most personal and favorite 5.

I go by my alternate username in well...."other" places that cannot be named (I'm assuming that) where my custom edit work has been known to worm its way into film score fans' ears from time to time. That name I use is JHFan. There IS a John Williams, but I am most certainly a JHFan first and foremost....and no, I don't mean Joe Hisaishi.

I'd say Simon Franglen has the most realistic chance of scoring this, because not only is he intimately familiar with the Na'vi musical landscape, having designed a lot of it with James Horner, but also worked (with Horner and then of course continued on after his death) on Cameron and Disneyworld's Pandora: The World Of Avatar attraction.

House of Cards: The cue "Distant Memories" is largely made up of this effect, which really shows itself in 1:30 into the cue. To Gillian On Her 37th Birthday: In "Gillian" throughout the cue the effect plays underneath the piano solo. Deep Impact: In "Drawing Straws", you hear it at 2:20 into the cue underneath the high strings as a tension device. Braveheart: It plays throughout the cue "Revenge". Also, 30 seconds into "Wallace's Dream" but you hear it at various times in the score. The Forgotten: 1 minute into "Remember..." the effect is used to show the change in perception for the character Ash.

My favorite synthesized effect Horner used was the 'air' effect, like a faint whistle in a huge amount of his scores, notably in "To Gillian on her 37th Birthday", "Deep Impact", "Braveheart", "The Forgotten" and many, many others.

I've never taken to Goldsmith's electronics because they seemed to be so gimmicky and really stuck out. Aside from a synth tone in Empire Strikes Back I don't recall ever noticing electronics apart from the keyboards in Home Alone in a John Williams score. But I freely admit I don't listen to much of his music apart from their films.

Quite honestly, this is the first time I have ever in my life seen this question asked. With JH it's always the same tired useless crap about borrowing and personal attitude nonsense. Never have I seen anyone ask it, or give it any thought - I never gave it any thought before. I just started to think about what scores have a lot of synth cues and it all seemed to click together. Apollo 13 is another to add to the list. It's a LOT more electronic than most realize, and if the score ever goes get its proper (legit) album expansion, that will be very noticeable.

Braveheart works very well that way. That previously unreleased cue "A Father's Final Return" is (my favorite) addition not heard outside the film prior to the LLL release, and a prime example of how to use the synth strings and choir effectively in place of the orchestra. It didn't need the grandeur of the opening LSO strings in "Royal Wedding". The still-unreleased film version of "Betrayal and Desolation" transitioned from orchestra to a synthesized ending. "The Pelican Brief" goes back and forth a lot, as does "Searching For Bobby Fischer" and "Clear and Present Danger". I'm sure some scores might have been done this way for budgetary reasons, but if you follow the reasoning of "Field of Dreams" and how the orchestra was held back until the end, but had synths and acoustic instruments all the way through prior, a lot of these could be, and in some cases sound like, creative choices.

I was 15 when it came out, saw the film 12 times theatrically (which was easy...$5 matinee prices and a summer of nothing to do made going to see a favorite movie both fun and a good escape from the heat) and like you, iD4 cemented my love of film music.

First-ever posting here. The full report is already available as part of the official docket: https://dms.ntsb.gov/pubdms/search/hitlist.cfm?docketID=60079&CurrentPage=1&EndRow=15&StartRow=1&order=1&sort=0&TXTSEARCHT= Everything is available in PDF, and they conclude that James Horner was likely impaired by his pain medication (a variation of Tylenol #3) and not the ethanol which as you said, the report found to be likely a by-product of post-mortem activity. It was high cholesterol medication, not blood pressure, though they found that had no impact on his abilities. They did the best with what they had to work with, because as the notes say, not only was he thrown from the plane but his body was "highly fragmented". I think it's safe to say we all know what that actually means. Hopefully it was so quick he felt nothing. The crash was between 9:24 and 9:29am. He must have been up very early to drive all that way, have his plane fueled and ready to get some air time in before resuming whatever he was going to do for the rest of the day. Some colleagues of mine who met and had drinks in his presence noted that he never actually drank anything other than juice with ice. I highly doubt anyone knowing they're going to keep practicing in a plane like that, having just completed his certification three days prior, was going to be drinking anything alcoholic. It was definitely his mistake to be taking the pain medication but I suspect it was because he needed it to withstand the forces which are known to cause headaches. Since his were tension / stress headaches, it would make sense he would rely on medication to allow him to keep flying. He was certainly determined, and ultimately that was his undoing.
