Andy replied to Mr. Breathmask's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, not bad. Although I’ve only these two and Greystoke The Legend of Tarzan to go by. I’ve listened to both Final Countdown and Kong Lives and they are nothing if not fun. They are thematically memorable with action music of the era and perhaps Goldsmith influenced. The orchestra can sound a bit thin. I’m not sure if that’s due to the recording or orchestrations. But these are enjoyable enough that I’ll come back for more. I happen to think the sweeping theme from Greystoke is his most memorable. -

Is this where to order tickets? Ticket Center Seems scammy... do we order directly from the BSO page? Hoping that blue button will become active at 10:00 -

I haven’t seen that either. I don’t need self help for which I’ve already mastered. -

One day I’ll listen to mine. Is it good? I only bought it after enjoying Rota’s Romeo and Juliet -
Is John Williams in a way a role model for you and your own life?
Andy replied to GerateWohl's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I respectfully disagree. Nocturnal Activities deserved to be adapted into a concert version of Willie’s Theme. -
Those are lovely

What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)
Andy replied to Ollie's topic in General Discussion
Sky Pirates - Brian May Not every score needs to be sophisticated, and Sky Pirates is clearly just for fun. I didn’t really arrive at Brian May the usual way through The Road Warrior, but instead through his Cloak and Dagger score. He has a fun, light on the feet style with, as Roger Fiegelson pointed out, “he uses LOTS of triangle” May is scoring this Raiders Ripoff by appropriately ripping off the Raiders March. But in this case, the B-Theme of Williams’ composition. And then a descending figure reminiscent of Lee Holdridge’s Beastmaster (itself a lift of Stu Phillips’ Battlestar Galactica). It gets repeated a lot, so you’ll be humming it long after. There’s a bit of underdeveloped romantic material too, but this is one I see myself returning to when I just need some light fun. It accomplishes what it’s supposed to. 4/5 -

Orchestral version of the Disco arrangement -
I can't find a physical geographic location for Quartet in Madrid. Does anyone know if they have a storefront, warehouse, or anything worth getting a photo of?

That single got significant radio play as I recall.
