How about "an early Giacchino"?

Given Williams lazy output over the past couple of years, I'm surprised this site's still operating. And hopefully the change will bring in higher quality members to the forum.

I hope we get the piece that Empire mag used over the Harrison Ford montage,

Making that its own cue starting with the Princess Leia quote just before it was the first thing I did when I bought editing software. Great snippet! Another is from AI, the toy bear gets a brief playful melody .. sorry, can't think of the track or tinings, it's not on the single disc OST.

I dont hink there's much "ethnic" music in any of those scores. In Seven Years, just the throat chanting on track 2. The rest is hardly Tibetan music at all. Likewise in Geisha, my favorite pieces are hardly ethnic. There's just the one piece "Brush on silk" that comes to mind as ethnically inspired, but the rest is pure Williams. There's really nothing "Japanesey" about most of the score. Still, we like what we like and don't like what we don't like.

I know its dependant on the scenes it scores, but I wish the Star Wars 3 cue, "Grevious Speaks to Lord Sirious" contained more of that operatic choral work. I definately lose interest after that, but now have an edited version with the end chopped off, so I'm happy, but still wish it was longer

I'm not sure if I can call it a masterpiece, so I'll go with option 2. MMM actually I wanna vote for something in between... Opt 1 says "Masterpiece" Opt 2 " .... but not outstanding. I wanna vote outstanding! I heard Williams perform the updated version in London in 1998 (ten years ago, oh my god!) It was one of the highlights of the night for me, the hall shook! And I have a great memory of listening to it while traveling in Africa late one night during a heavy storm. The music had me convinced there were dinosaurs out there chasing me!

Yeah I agree, and the cello solos are just exquisite. MMmmm this may be blasphemy, but I edited the piece into two and usually listen to just the first 3 minutes. It feels like its own self contained piece.

Sports World is accompanied by Zimmer's Spirit: Stallion of the Camarron And Brougton's The Boy Who Could Fly is in there .. around the 20 minute mark And what's the next piece? It sounds a little like Stu Phillip's Battlestar Galactica, (21 mins 13)

Here's a short promo for Battlestar season 4, but be warned. It shows a hot cylon chick jumping on some poor guy's nuts.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jceFQa5HV0

Thanks AI, I just had a nice relaxing nap to your piece. I didn't sleep much last night, so I would have fallen asleep to anything, but I was half asleep for a while and your music was on repeat. A nice peaceful experience, thanks. I disagree with Mark that it sounds like hogwarts, to my ears it sounds more like Indy 4.

I thought it funny too, and I did say I was joking, so rather ironic I got a few "HAVE YOU READ THE THREAD!" comments. Hilarious! Thanks, I seriously really like the piece of music Empire used, I guess the next question to ask is why weren't they asked to score Indy 4?

Sorry too lazy and busy now to dig up a link, but someone here attended some New York concerts about a year ago and posted about a hundred great pics of the Williams in action. They are on here somewhere,.. I'll have a look later if no one finds the link.

Oh that email. Well I did read it, I just don't consider it proof, Actually I smell a cover-up.

What are you talking about?

I'm not so sure about that. We still haven't identified the composer of the piece and it's still possible Williams copied it because it's so good and sounds like it belongs in an Indy film

I hate to break it to you, but Williams didn't write that either Why not? That piece was composed less than 1 year ago. I forget the title, but it's from a computer game.

I hate to break it to you, but Williams didn't write that either

The whole piece can be listened to here! http://mediamusicnow.co.uk/search/?q=conquerors

That's a joke, right? Right! MMmmm so if that music is royalty free, there's still hope that Williams score will be thrown out and the royalty free piece tracked into the film.

Here's a whole ton... http://www.jamd.com/search?text=john%20williams You can't "save as" but you can take screen shots

I believe him too, I was just putting the idea forward that the score may have been written by Williams using a pen name.

That the piece came from a computer game proves nothing. It is still possible that, either through chance or through deliberate plagiarism, Williams wrote exactly the same piece for Indy 4. So the new score could still sound exactly like that clip. Yeah it was leaked, but there was still some initial doubt. Fair enough too, healthy skepticism is a good thing. It could have well been somthing different either labeled Star Wars mistakenly or through a deliberate and evil deception. And yes of course Williams knows what guitars are, but no one expected guitars in a Star Wars score. I think the comment I recall came from someone who hadn't heard it but had read mention of the guitars and thought, "If there are electric guitars in there, then it's not from the new Star Wars score." He was wrong as we know, but he made a good case. Anyway, how do we know the piece of game music concerned wasn't written by Williams under a pen name? There's a good 6 weeks during 2005 that we can't account for Williams activities 24/7.

And when Chase Through Coruscant first made its way online, no one knew what it was, but I remember quite a few, "Electric Guitars in a Star Wars score? If you think that's Williams, you're insane!" Not that I was sure it was Williams then, but I rememeber thinking, "well it could be." Of course that doesn't mean this music is Williams, but no one here's heard the score, so although each of us has their own opinions, until the piece is identified, no one knows. Personally, it's growing on me like Williams' pieces do, and I get that irresistable urge to listen to it again, and again. My midichlorians tell me it's Williams, and that's all I've got to go by.

I wanna marry this chick!
