Richard Penna 3,690 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I prefer complete and chronological scores if even just for the fact that it is the composer's complete intended work. Having an incomplete score is like leaving the scherzo out of a Haydn symphony - maybe not that dramatic - but it's just as bad!Exactly, the good scores are written to almost be their own story, with logical thematic and dramatic development. Messing with that is like putting in a DVD and just skipping around to random chapters.Amen to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro 147 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I know everyone's consumed with Indy at the moment, but I just received my Boys from Brazil in the mail and I want to talk about it!Has anyone else got theirs? Is this your first time hearing it, or were you already familiar with it? What are the absolute highlights? Any similarities to other late-70's Goldsmith scores? I'm hearing traces of the Masada melody...I think...Anyway, I'd only heard a rerecording of the waltz previously, and I'm diggin' the score! Anyone else?

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 As far as I know, SAE haven't even shipped mine yet. As happy as I am with their service, they've not been the fastest lately.I've seen the film once, I have a hardly played LD rip of the score somewhere, and I've heard the waltz in concert (twice I believe). I don't recall anything besides the waltz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
222max 1 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Got mine today and am listening to it now. I'll weigh in with a review later. But the waltz is only a single dimension to this brilliant score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Brausam 214 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Loving my copy of this too, and Ghost Warrior is pretty good too!Speculation has it that this coming Monday's release will be Species, by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Yeah that's been rumored since someone had posted that info on Chris Young's website several months ago. The clue fits but they can fool you as well. LaLaLand also has a 2 disc release scheduled for October 31th that promises to please many people, according to LaLaLand. But they also said the same thing about the Outer Limits set, which was very nice but not something that I wanted.http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cf...7&archive=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Coscina 3 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I am also enjoying this CD. Wonderful sounding and great to have a complete version. Goldsmith was a master and I'm glad most of his gems (like this) are seeing the light of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 If it's Independence Day I'll snatch it up big time, hopefully it's a high limited release (like 5,000 units) so it doesn't quite sell out in a 3 hour period or something like that. Either way I'll be watching next week. Is there a new Intrada this week?Edit: Has anyone thought it maybe Spider-Man 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,690 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 It's a legitmate possibility.I'd consider ID4, although to be honest it would have to be complete. Not these half-assed 'expansions' that still leave good stuff off. SM:3 would be an instant purchase, complete or not.I'm not familiar with Species outside of the cues from the promo that just repeat the main theme over and over. What's the rest of the score like anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again companies like LaLa Land, Intrada, Varese and FSM have released some amazing stuff over the last few years that I'm sure a lot of us thought would never get released.

Joe Brausam 214 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 ID4 will most likely never come out by any other record company except for the one that initially released it since they have the rights in perp. So, no, do not expect it from us at the end of the month.MV"In perp" - doesn't that mean they are perpetually owned by RCA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 I believe ID4 may have been a good selling album for RCA. So who knows, perhaps they want to do something themselves as far as releasing an expanded album. Plus I don't know if the album is out of print yet although I still see it in stores.

Hold onto 2/3 of a monopoly just so nobody else can build hotels and screw you into the ground, if you don't have the cash or gumption yourself to develop that property into something special.

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Note to MissPadmé: There actually is a direct Strauss quote in Boys from Brazil. I've only listened to the score once yet, but I just noticed it in the album version of Frau Doring: A short violin snippet, I believe from Le bourgeois gentilhomme, though I'm not 100% sure that's the source.
