  1. Thanks
    Taikomochi reacted to Giftheck in Picard Season 3 Soundtrack Vol 2 Coming.   
    There's three pieces I am genuinely surprised were not on Volume 1: Ol' Yellow Eyes Is Back, Her Majesty Returns, and Welcome to the Enterprise.
     
    I'm currently going through and figuing out the episodes for which these are. Been a little while since I saw S3, but as far as I can tell these are mostly in chronological order, with Assimilated Delta being the outlier since that only appears at the start of episode 10.
     
    EDIT: I have broken it down:
     
    Episode 1
    03. Missing The Chase
    04. You Have To Go
    05. Old Fashioned Road Trip
    06. You Are A Warrior
    07. Son & Shrike Revealed
     
    Episode 2
    08. Basically A Saint
    09. Legendary Admiral
    10. Captain No
    11. Worf Splinters In
     
    Episode 3
    12. Titan On The Run
    13. Commander Seven
    14. Jack Crushes It
    15. The Relentless Shrike
    16. Seventeen Seconds
     
    Episode 4
    17. Wolf 359
    18. What We Do Best
    19. The Only Family I Need
     
    Episode 5
    02. Captain’s Log (it's back to front, the second half comes first)
    20. Ro’s Investigation
     
    Episode 6
    21. Worf Reunion, No Hugging
    22. To Burgle Daystrom
    23. The Marvelous Moriarty
    24. An Enterprising Titan
    25. Ol’ Yellow Eyes Is Back
     
    Episode 7
    26. Imposter Voyager
    27. I Am Vadic
     
    Episode 8
    28. Jackstral Projection
    29. Finally Reunited
     
    Episode 9
    30. The Son Of Locutus
    31. Her Majesty Returns
    32. Futile Resistance
     
    Episode 10
    01. Assimilated Delta
    33. An Honor Serving With You All
    34. Future’s End
    35. Captain Seven
    36. Welcome To The Enterprise
    37. Star Trek Legacy
    38. End Credits
     
    I'll look into doing a full chronological list in the near future with both volumes.

    For me this music really has zero recognition value. Clichéd horror score at AI level. Soon you won't need a composer and expensive orchestral recordings for something like this. It's a shame when you consider what other great music has been created in the series. Even Gregson-Williams and Kurzel have contributed some solid material. Similar to Blade Runner 2049 and IT (2017/19), there would have been an opportunity here for truly great genre music, but it was missed once again due to the choice of composer.

    I skipped through it and it does have some alright or good stuff here and there... but at its best it just makes me wonder why they didn't get Young for this

    Taikomochi reacted to crumbs in John Williams is becoming a Disney Legend   
    Meh, I know it's trendy to hate on Disney (and lord knows Disney Records are doing everything in their power to trigger us) but can we not just appreciate a nice gesture for once?
     
    Disney (the studio) have bent over backwards for Williams since acquiring Lucasfilm. Not a dollar was spared giving him whatever he asked for on the Star Wars sequels (including recording in LA across 6-12 months, significantly more expensive than recording in London with the LSO). Then they gave him the same deal for Indy 5, plus extra commissions for spinoffs, TV shows and theme parks.
     
    How many other Hollywood studios have forked out money for two A-List composers on a single film (Williams and Powell), simply to 'make amends' with a composer (if the rumours about Rogue One are true)?
     
    So, credit where it's due. Kudos to Disney for recognising Williams on the big stage, he deserves all the accolades.
     
    Contrast this with the Oscars giving him the cold shoulder for 3 decades... you tell me what's more insulting.

    Taikomochi got a reaction from Trope in Harry Potter 7CD Collection - MUSIC discussion   
    Williams’ original intentions for Lupin’s Transformation are honestly baffling to me. I find it much more musically interesting than what’s in the film, but it’s severely out of step with the horror and suspense of that scene. I’d love to know what he was thinking because it really, truly does not work for that scene.  It’s so out of step that I’d just assumed it was an unused opening to Chasing Scabbers when listening to it on the album for many years.

    Taikomochi reacted to Luke Skywalker in A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) - 2021 20th Anniversary Edition (reissue of 2015 3CD set) from La-La Land Records   
    Heck, i watched the finale of the film today (wanted to check the music as the LLL set finale seems too long for the scenes i remembered). It never fails to hit me. I cry like a child. I think it is the only film that does that to me, not even ET does it all the times.
     
    It's the first time i watched it after being a father, and i think the sentiment is different now. Before, 20 odd years ago i related to david, with his fear of losing his mother, but now I identified in david my little daughter's inconditional love to me.
     
    Another anecdote, that i want to check with other people with cats. I listened to the finale again while humming it. My cat was sleeping, but in the middle of it she woke and came tome to purr and nudge her head with me.
     
    Is it possible that cats identify humming as purring, so they feel atracted to express affection to us? She has done it several times in the past.
     
    Has anyone with cats experienced the same?

    It plays in a bunch of the rides. There’s a bunch of music medleys that play over the rides. As far as I could tell, the ambient version is only at the entrance. Most of what plays in the park proper is source “alien” music.

    I literally walked through the entrance an hour ago. The Williams version plays plenty elsewhere in the park. The ambient version works well as a transition.

    Especially with these latter two Star Wars films he's scored and presumably IX as well, they must be some of the most demanding films in Hollywood in terms of requiring rewrites and revisions to the score.  The recording schedules have to be sprawling by nature

    Taikomochi reacted to Andy in POLL | What was the 'Golden Age' of John Williams' music?   
    Oh, and I also think it isn’t coincidental that Williams’ style and types of films he scored post ‘84 coincided exactly with Spielberg’s shift to make “grown up”, serious movies. 

    Heartbeeps is brimming with Williams goodness consistent with its neighbors in his filmography.

    There's a distinct non-zero chance that she did at some point find this website, read a couple of the Williams/Ridley shipping posts, and decided never to come back.

    I keep coming back to this.   I think it’s one of John’s most interesting scores.  There’s something about it, intangible. On paper, it shouldn’t be this compelling, but I’m in love. 
     
    Out of Gas is a perfect example of how this recording has so much more feeling than the better known concert revision.  Toots is so wistful and soulful here.   It takes its time, in a good way. There’s a slight pause before the more conventional, familiar sound of Williams’ strings come in to lend gravitas to the free feeling… amblin’ melody of the harmonica.   
     
    The wild takes only give this score more altitude to breathe in a way the confined and over refined concert piece ever could. 
     
    I bought a lot of CDs this year. I can’t remember any of them moving me like this. 
  21. Love

    Glad to hear from Mike Matessino that he is expected to make a full recovery, as the official statement said. I never doubted that until people started hinting at rumors going around LA musician circles that his condition was more serious. I think it shows how rumors can get out of hand. For example, if someone was resting at home after experiencing chest pains, that could end up being a rumor that he is bed ridden after suffering a heart attack.

    You either get this scene or you don't. I saw a review that questioned why an ordinary airplane was scored as a religious moment. They didn't get it.
