Josh500 1,615 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yes or no.I won't add cutesy options like, "maybe" or "I don't know" or "ask me later."Vote what you feel, and if you don't feel anything, then don't vote! I voted "Yes." Of course.P.S. Also, name tracks you are especially excited about (based on the sound clips)!Mine are: Adventures of Mutt, The Jungle Chase, Journey to Akator, Ants!, and Finale.

tpigeon 3 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Easy... I was joking. Truth is that I am impressed with some of them, but not others. On the whole, I'd say I'm impressed with their potential, but also not impressed by the fact that I wasn't blown away by them.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hmmmm... I think it's very hard to be blown away by 30 second-snippets!But I was very impressed with their potential, like you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toontje 0 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 A definite yes. He appears to make both his old and new style blend together in one ultimate awesome score. But still final decision about the score has to wait but I am definitily impressed by the the sound clips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hmmmm, what TheGreatEye posted, about this movie not being great, has worried me.

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 What do you call "impressed"? I don't think I can be really impressed by a 30-second snippett of a track. However, what I've heard does sound fun. Although I already was pretty sure of it, after listening to the sound clips, I'm pretty sure that the full CD will impress me.

Red 75 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 From just the short snippets I was impressed overall. But really, it's still too early to call anything definitively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF1_freeze 131 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I'm definitly impressed by the samples. My favourite so far is Adventures of Mutt (It appears that this great theme even has a funny b-theme at the end of the sample) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Okay, I've been listening to the sound clips for 3 days now (since it came up), and I'm liking it more and more...Maybe I shouldn't listen to them anymore... otherwise I get too used to just these snippets.

crocodile 8,017 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Just listened to the clips. I'm not worried. After all, most of Raiders album (and the best of them all, I might add) is rather low key and quiet. Contrary to what some people seem to remember...So yes, I'm impressed.Karol - enjoying Irina's theme quite a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 I've been listening to "The Jungle Chase" a lot and I was wondering . . . do you think halfway through what we hear is the "Russian Soldier's theme"? Sounds pretty menacing, and though it's not a march (like we hoped!!!) this can be this movie's version of the Nazi themes!Don't we have enough goddamn threads for this?Don't YOU take our savior's name in vain!

crocodile 8,017 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 It is the same theme that appears in the fourth track, so the answer is quite obvious... Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,017 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 And I have to admit it is one of the best villain themes of the series. More distinctive than Nazi theme from Raiders or Mola Ram's theme but not as cartoony as Nazi theme from Crusade. Which makes it the most balanced.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredvdp 0 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I'm not impressed. The sound clips are fine but I miss something that has potential to be memorable. I'm still looking forward to the full soundtrack, though, and I'll probably be impressed after hearing it in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Yeah I'm not impressed but then I find it difficult to believe one could get all excited over those short clips as well.There are some composers that you can figure out with 30 second clips. Usually those are the lesser ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually those are the lesser ones.That's about the size of it. I mean, they're 30 second samples. I can't really tell anything meaning from them. So a direct answer to the question is no, I'm not impressed with the clips but that's immediately followed by a counter question; How could you be impressed by 30 second sound clips?

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 You have a problem with ELO? And it is from a movie soundtrack afterall Josh. Personally I've always been charmed by the Xanadu soundtrack, but the movie is bad. I listen to alot of things beside film scores, I have as many cds that aren't films scores as are.

It's like showing me a window frame on the Empire State Building and asking me if I'm impressed with it. It's a nice enough frame but without context there's nothing else really to say.
