    Best single track of the decade

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    The scores were pompous bullshit elevated by an epic masterpiece of film.

    There was much better music from the decade than the deceptive crap that helped make LOTR patronizing to the senses.

    I wish people 'round here would start saying what they really mean, instead of 'sugar-coating' their words..... :blink:

    Crazy (but fun) tracks

    Which ones do you like?

    I'll start the ball rolling with:

    'Night Boarders', The Mummy - Jerry Goldsmith.

    'Mine Car Chase', Indiana Jones & The Temple Of Doom - John Williams.

    I love these two cues because the instruments are just going crazy for the duration. By the end of them I'm gasping for breath! ;)

    So, which crazy/fun tracks do enjoy listening to (even if they're jusy guilty pleasures)? :lol:

    This is all Roger has thus far have to say about January 19th's releases.

    Two special collection releases...one at 2000 and the other at 1500.

    Anyone wanna venture a bet that one will be a Horner?

    Star Trek III: The Search For Spock..... :)

    Actually no, that will come from FSM later this year, bringing Star Trek V: The Final Frontier with it. ;)

    What is the last score you listened to?

    I've never been a fan of Silvestri's over the top cheesy action, and The Mummy Returns is a bit hit and miss with me. There's a lot of action-specific music with sudden bangs and hits which isn't easily appreciated outside the film (which tbh, I don't really like - takes dumb popcorn to a new level for me).

    I just don't take either the film or the album too seriously. That's how I enjoy them.

    I was listening to BTTF last night, and the Clocktower scene is going round and round in my head. Such a brilliant score.

    And not long ago you weren't too keen on the main bulk of the score! Now look at you, you're an addict! :blink:

    Yes, those are both great cues. The ending section of "My First Bus Ride" (which uses Rick's theme) is fantastic. :)

    I also love "Medjai Commanders" and "Sandcastles".

    I must admit, I watched the film with very low hopes for any part of it being good, and although the plot is fairly thin, it's just good family entertainment (if somewhat far-fetched!)

    The score didn't grip me the first time I heard it, so I bought the OST just to make sure and now I'm hooked! :blink:

    I tried doing a Doc Returns/Back in Time edit just now, but tbh it doesn't really work if you're following the film mix, which cuts off the former at the end of the brass bit and then fades the latter in really fast. The car sound effect has a large role here (I did an edit ages ago with the boot, and I included the sfx at that point), and standalone I'm more comfortable with them separate.

    Me too. It works ok in the film because, as you say, the sound effects cover the transition. In reality, without the sound effects, it sounds attrocious.

    Just for fun I even tried an edit of "Doc Returns" / "End Credits", and that sounded terrible too. Not because of my editing skills, but because the pieces are clearly not meant to segue into each other.

    It's arrived! ;)

    As for the un-used "Logo" cue, I think the film would have worked better with this left in. It's only a very short piece, and the ticking clocks still could've been used once "Logo" had finished. :P

    Finally, mine has arrived as well.....only problem now is I am not at home to listen to it and enjoy it. Damn it. There's always some thing.

    Oh well, at least I'll have something at home waiting for me when I finish work tonight...apart from my very beautiful wife that is.

    I sympathise, but I would always put my wife before any music! ;)

    Anyway, when you do get 'round to listening to it, you'll love it. :)
