Great score, but I don't think I would like to have the whole album (it's slightly too monothematic for me), the theme alone would be sufficient.

Maglorfin 196 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Neimoidian, that Kilar stuff looks great, I bet it sounds the same! My two VS Club latest CDs are waiting for me at the post office, but I haven't had the time to pick them up yet, those days are incredibly busy with the last pre-new-year's-concert practice sessions with my orchestra. I guess I'll be picking them up on Thursday or Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I always felt Poledouris's score was overrated. Yes, it's got the main titles, and the fantastic 'Nuclear Scam'. But a lot of it is rather unimpressive electronic droning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,338 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 It's the only good film of the series and the score worked. That's all that matters, I guess. Don't forget film music is functional music. Only Williams (today) can elevate film music to music that can stand alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I don't remember the track titles. There are only three tracks that I find to be really good.

Marian Schedenig 8,198 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Stage music is functional music, too. And to an extent, ballet and opera are as well.I don't remember the track titles. There are only three tracks that I find to be really good. Upon seeing the movie recently, I was struck by how much (IMO) boring electronics were in it.The three best tracks already amount to more than half of the CD.

Morlock 11 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I did. This was early on in my soundtracking days, I actually lent it out to someone. Never got it back (although, as a plus, I never saw that person again). I do admire parts of it. 'Nuclear Scam' is one of my favroite Poledouris tracks. But I think it is a very uneven score.

Delorean90 42 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I seriously recommend you give it another shot on album. I was surprised at some of the orchestrations and nuances that I never noticed because of the film's mix. And then, of course, you have "Two Wives," which was unused, but is a very nice cue. "Ancestral Aid" has some good choir material, and even the more underscore-type stuff is more interesting than true atmospheric droning. I remember not caring for the "Chopper" cue when I heard it before, but now that I heard it again on the CD, I like it much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Got a 3CD Cinema Classics set for Christmas. The 3rd CD is disappointingly just some not particularly good synth performances of some contemporary cues, but CDs 1 and 2 are some quite famous pieces from as early as the '20's. It's not all to my taste, but there are some real gems amongst it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
