Josh500 1,615 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I think I'd go with Desert Chase. It's almost twice as long, for one thing. (Or even longer?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro 147 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Asteroid Field. Because it is a wickedly intoxicating theme, given a concert suite-style presentation with multiple moments of absolute splendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonblueeyes 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Desert Chase. It has everything. And you can hear it better in the actual film then you can Asteroid Field - which is drowned out in many sections because of the non-stop sound effects. I think Desert Chase wins because it's one example where music HAS to carry the story - considering the sequence in the film is almost entirely dialogue free - save for Belloq's "He's There."

Neimoidian 14 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I go for Asteroid Field. I find it Williams' best action cue, while Desert Chase holds the second place. I cannot explain my choice, especially there is no objective argument to support it. It's just the way I feel about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odnurega1 0 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I love them both, but at the same time, I listen to The Asteroid Field much more.

Ollie 1,059 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Not really, while Goldsmith has written scores that are better than Williams' you can easily reverse it. The only thing Goldsmith really wins at is the volume of work he has done compared to Williams.That being said "The Enterprise" is one of Goldsmith's highlights in his distinguished career. Is it better than the two Williams cues in this poll? I think that is just a matter of taste. No real right or wrong answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I'd go out on a limb and say Enterprise is better than the two on the poll. I'd go out on a limb and say Enterprise is better than 95% of John Williams output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
