Ii2 reacted to SteveMc in The THE BANGLES Thread
Quite possibly. Fans have made some cell recordings of their most recent concerts (they do about 2-3 a year at this point.)

Ii2 reacted to The Illustrious Jerry in Best of these Recent Star Wars pieces
Oh I love all of these, but The Adventures of Han was such an exciting piece to hear when it came out, similar to the hype now around Galaxy's Edge.
I enjoy the themes from The Force Awakens too, but I feel that the arrangements in The Jedi Steps and Finale and other cues in the film (especially in the case of Rey's Theme) are superior to the actual individual concert suites. I never really liked The Jedi Steps concert suite as much though. I feel like Scherzo for X-Wings was a missed opportunity to tie in Poe's theme too.

The Adventures of Han
I just realized it's actually very memorable. I think I now rank it above Rey's Theme and below The Jedi Steps and Finale, which I think sums up both Luke's journey through ANH-ROTJ and Rey's journey in TFA very well.
Now I'm waiting for IX to surprise me with something as great as Luke and Leia, reflective and hopeful.

He's a political idealist. Not a murderer.

The bass is really prominent in this video of the song, even if overall quality is poorish. You can really get a sense of the richness of Steele's tone and her little rhythmic quirks.

In several movies I have watched, I heard that certain piece from the movie Chariots of Fire (1981) in many places.
Mostly it was used just for some comical scene of someone running or something like that.
Only recently did I discover it was in fact from the movie Chariots of Fire. So I got curious and decided to listen to the whole score.
Strange but..at first I thought I had the wrong film. The music was not what I expected after hearing the main theme.
But, after some fast classic 80s beat music, there it was. The main theme. All things considered, the main theme is really a work of art.

Ii2 reacted to SteveMc in Do you have to watch the movie first before listening to its score?
For me, the music is primary. Howe a score works on its own is more important than how it works in context. Most times, I have heard the score first, like for Schindler's List, or Ben-Hur. Other favorite scores, like An American Tail, Empire of the sun, Patton, Superman, were first heard when watching the movie. They are revisited often, but apart from the films. I don't rely on memories of their images to enjoy the scores. I let the music speak for itself, and if, like with many Classical composers, the music has or is helping a story, I have that in back of mind too. But, that, to me, should not be the primary focus. If we let the films themselves completely dictate how we approach or how we feel about film scores, we are proving right those who think film music is a lesser art form, dependent as it is on another.

Yes. There has been debates on if Borodin is human.
