Neimoidian 14 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 The harmonies and orchestration seem too simple for Williams...I'd say it's a pure Williams without the extensive orchestration (by some other composers) that his music usually undergo before it's released.

John Crichton 4 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 The harmonies and orchestration seem too simple for Williams...I agree. Still, it sounds more likely that anything else we've heard to date.Why do they make me enter my birthday when they have to know I'm just gonna lie to them? It's like when I watch an AVGN video.

Huh?Haven't you heard the rumors that some other people contribute to so-called JW's sound during the orchestration of his simple tunes (written, as we hear, on a midi synthesizer)?

Quintus 5,399 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Holy sh*it, the more I listen, the more I'm convinced this IS Williams. The orchestration is EXACTLY what I'd expect from him, if he was instructed to go 'back to basics' for the new Indy film. To me it's pure Williams of an earlier era, which is kinda scary. It almost sounds like something from Temple Of Doom...When that last cue (Empire photoshoot) was being discussed as possible Indy IV musical material, I was quick to write it off as nothing more than generic MV stuff. Here I'm not so certain. Not so certain at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzOutcast 122 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I don't think it sounds bad at all. I actually quite like it. The quality is very poor though, so if this from the actual score, it's not really presented in its "full glory." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 For the last time, John Williams only wrote around 40 minutes of music, the rest was composed , orchestrated, arranged and conducted by Wiliam Ross! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beowulf 4 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Don't think this is from KOTCS, but there definitely is a continuum-sounding instrument in the mix, at a very interesting point too. Just adds to the drama I guess, besides, it seems weird to me that they would just pluck a piece out of nowhere - especially a piece that no one can easily identify.But I was under the impression there was no choir in this score? Also, some parts also sound like Goldsmith to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Well, I don't know what all the sourpussing is about...I think it's fun to speculate about these periodically surfacing music clips, no matter how excessively hyper some people get over it. It's part of the fun of an upcoming release. And though this one doesn't sound much like current Williams, it's more likely than any of the other clips we've heard.

King Mark 3,631 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I still remember the PoA internationnal trailer with a Williams like theme. Was it or was it not Williams? ,that lasted 2 weeks . Then a real Williams clip showed up in a movie preview.. we knew instantly and without doubt.The only time I was confused was the Blue Fairie theme in the A.I. trailer.there's gonna be an Indy feature on Entertainement Tonight ,I'm keeping my ears perked.That's where you have to look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpigeon 3 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 For the first time, I am certain that this isn't Williams. Which of course means it very well may be. But it doesn't sound that way to me.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toontje 0 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Well at first it sounds very williams-esque. But if you compare it to the simple yet brilliant themes for The Ark, The Grail and even the Sankara Stones... I would be very dissapointed if this is the crystal skull theme.

Josh500 1,615 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I don't think this is Williams either... it sounds somehow flat and unimpressive. Maybe great for other composers, but not at all great for JW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 On another note, I had a few LEGO Indiana Jones sets in my hand today. I didn't know these were out yet. Look sort of fun, but the amount of licensed LEGO products is just getting weird now (there's sets based on Burton's Batman and there was a Speed Racer set right next to the Indy ones - weird).
