Jay 19582 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 You can just play the whole album on youtube I believe the Spotify free version lets you play entire albums too, not sure (I've been a subscriber forever) Link to post Share on other sites

What's up with the moaning dude?! Overall I liked it, I'll give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. I'd definitely need to see the movie though to enjoy it more I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 19582 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Yea the vocals sure through me for a loop! No idea what they represent but it makes me want to see the movie to find out Link to post Share on other sites
Bespin 4555 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I "tried" to watch the movie few years ago, I've stopped it because it was too weird and disjointed. Anyway, me and movies where characters have "visions"... I absolutely hate that. Briefly, I would say that it's a psychological movie about a woman who have very serious mental illness problems, and well.... that's a movie from its era (1972)... Meh...

Miguel Andrade 800 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 21 hours ago, Jay said: It's too bad he never did a whole avant-garde, experimental score like this again Out of curiosity, Williams said during an interview (sometime in the 70's if memory serves) that he was considering adapting some of this music into some sort of essay for percussion (probably a kind of suite from the score, I guess). Sadly that never came to be. Once 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thor 4097 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 13 hours ago, Jay said: Jeez! Glad I got it for $20 when it was in print! Same here. Even if I wish the sound had been remastered even better, if at all possible from the promo vinyl source, it's still Prometheus' best and most important release ever. I was so happy when I could throw my old LP-to-CD-R in the trash. Link to post Share on other sites
bigjimwilson 33 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I would love a CD re-release of this. Although I have the vinyl, and it sounds excellent. But if one day a better remaster was possible, perhaps with an expansion, it would be great to explore the score further. I think it's wonderful. Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post GerateWohl 507 Posted January 28 Popular Post Share Posted January 28 I just listened through the whole score for the first time. And I frequently was thinking what Shark recently said, that at Williams music there is mostly something interesting happening in the music. And I had to think about what nowadays often gets "composed" when it gets to "We need something dissonant disturbing for this scene". It is mostly the same noisy replacable sound porridge. bigjimwilson, Holko and Jurassic Shark 3 Link to post Share on other sites

GerateWohl 507 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Just now, Jurassic Shark said: Hey, I got a citation! Yes. I might use that quote further more in future, if you don't mind. I think, it quite nails an important aspect about Williams' music and film music in general. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to post Share on other sites
