Trumpeteer 302 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 The blog at Entertainment Weekly asked people to write in about their weird soundtrack obsessions. Some interesting ones there, but I thought you'd all like to read about the winner.I made a comment in the post, so I hope I represent jwfan.com well.

Quintus 5,399 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Link works for me.I guess one of my strange ost habits would be my utter inability to play a piece through from start to finish in one play. I 'rewind' parts I love so much that a 5 minute piece can easily take 30 mins to get through.Once again showcasing mankind's ignorance about soundtracks.Are you referring to the fact that some of the comments refer to film song albums?Because I'd disagree.

robthehand 3 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Weirdest soundtrack obsession? Surely that must be Thor at FSM, who often refuses to buy some albums because they are "too complete", and doesn't like albums that are in chronlogical order.

Richard Penna 3,681 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I don't get what's so weird about that - aren't the SW scores already in film order? Either I'm missing something, or that one really is lame... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,681 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Merely listening to film music makes me weird from the viewpoint of all but about 3 of my uni friends; one of whom, I'm pleased to say, currently has my Two Towers CR set.One of my closer friends constantly threatens to slit his wrists (provides endless hours of amusement for the rest of us) whenever one of us makes any kind of programming error... imagine what he'd do if I told him what I was trying to do earlier with a Life on Mars DVD.

King Mark 3,631 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hey, all. I've been trying to figure out the source of some of the music used in this trailer for the first POTC movie. I know everything after "hello, poppet," but the stuff beforehand is perplexing.The first thing you hear is just a boomy sound effect, which I'm assuming was just a stock sound and not from any movie soundtrack. That's rip-able from the DVD, so no worries there. Then the beginning of "Main Title Deconstruction" (from Danny Elfman's Planet of the Apes) can be heard, but some string writing is mixed on top of the percussion. Does anyone know what this is? It's not in the OSTs for Planet of the Apes, Drop Zone, or Backdraft--those are the three film scores used in the trailer, according to soundtrack.net--and it's not part of X-Ray Dog's "Voices of War," either. I'm guessing it's just something the music editor played on a synthesizer and mixed it in, but I could certainly be mistaken, and if I am, I'd like to get my hands on that piece.After that is a percussion passage from PotA's "The Hunt," I believe, looped and edited a bit. Then there is a boomy cutoff that I don't recognize from the PotA OST. Anyone know where that's from, or if it's simply a stock effect?Sorry to be asking such strange and arcane questions, but I'd really like to know... I believe this is more appropriate in this topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
