The Quick Question Thread

[indy4 155]

Thanks!

[Muad'Dib 1,802]

Another quick question... There's this little motif that opens "The Arrival of Baby Harry" in first Potter soundtrack that it' amazing, but I don't remember hearing it anywhere else on the score. What does it represent?

[davros72 1]

What's the title of the track from "Aliens" that was tracked into "Die Hard" when Powell shoots Karl (I think that was his name) at the end of the film? And is it on the Aliens CD? If not, where is it...?

Sorry if that's spoilers for anyone.

Thanks!

[Ollie 1,059]

Yes, it's called "Resolution And Hyperspace", track 19 on the deluxe edition.

On the regular release it's track 9.

And it's mostly unused in the film Aliens as well. The scene is tracked with "Bishop's Countdown"

[Kendal_Ozzel 36]

Howard Shore's Crash. Worth getting? (Especially for someone whose only non-LOTR Shore is The Departed?)

[fommes 153]

Well, I'd recommend some other Shore works first; I can imagine it's somewhat hard to get into. Did you find any samples on Amazon or Soundtracknet? Should give you a pretty good idea what to expect.

[Kendal_Ozzel 36]

Nah, I should probably look into that. I just happened to see it on a clearance rack today.

[indy4 155]

I only have one non-LotR work by Shore, and it's Ed Wood. If you're looking for suggestions, I highly recommend it (although I wouldn't be able to tell you how it ranks with other non-LotR works).

[Faleel 5,348]

i have a quick question, what is the motif that plays at the very end of On The Tank? right before the fade out? i think its also played in Marcus In Iskendrun also but im not sure BUT I do know that it appears more than once

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

The theme from Keeping Up With the Joneses aka the father's theme, I guess. It's a sprightly version of that.

[Faleel 5,348]

thanks! i was kind of thinking it might be a small motif for marcus or something

[Koray Savas 2,251]

I only have one non-LotR work by Shore, and it's Ed Wood. If you're looking for suggestions, I highly recommend it (although I wouldn't be able to tell you how it ranks with other non-LotR works).

You should check out The Departed, Eastern Promises, Edge Of Darkness, and his David Fincher scores: The Game, Panic Room, and Se7en.

[indy4 155]

The Departed has been on my "Low Priority To Buy List" for a while. Haven't seen the others, but I'll try to get them sometime. I doubt it will be soon, though--after the buying spree of the last few months, I still need to get Williams on Williams, The Last Airbender, and Amazing Stories (I don't have any volumes).

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Definitely check out some samples or try and find them dirt cheap. Shore is a very dark and brooding composer. LOTR is way out of his usual style.

[indy4 155]

Thanks for the recommendations! Like I said I don't imagine it happening any time soon, but I do plan on buffing up my Shore collection, perhaps during a dry spell for score releases (if we ever get one again).

[Faleel 5,348]

what is the motif that plays in the begginning of The Scroll? it also plays in Indy and The Villagers i believe, is it a motif for the Sankara Stones?

[Jay 37,363]

Yup!

And that theme recieved it's greatest development in the original rejected version of Indy and the villagers that concord didn't include in their set

[Brónach 1,302]

I like how Johnny uses it later in Approaching the Stones. It's scary.

I didn't there was a rejected version of Indy and the Villagers.

[Faleel 5,348]

is the rejected version included on GoodMusicians set?

[Datameister 2,042]

It ought to be - I don't have his edit, but its existence was common knowledge among those of us who were putting together edits. Came from one of the LEGO games, as I recall. The original is called "The Old Priest's Tale", and the version heard on the soundtrack and in the film is simply called "The Old Priest."

[Jay 37,363]

Yup! And you can hear 30 seconds of it at http://www.indianajonesmusic.com/2008/11/missing-music.html

[Faleel 5,348]

looking at that site there i noticed that the clip of the beggining of "The Child Returns" is cleaner than the version on GM's set, has this been recently released or something? Lego Indy 2?

[Jay 37,363]

I made the clip on that site, and I took it from the dvd's real channels, iirc

I do not have the goodmusician set, so cannot speak to its contents.

this is your version mixed in with GM's version as you can see his version has animal noises while yours does not

[ManofDestiny 71]

Dear All, last week I've brought a fyc promo "The Quiet American". However, I found that it was in fact a CDr. The art work on the disc looks fine, but I am in doubt. Can any one tell me that if this promo was actually a CDr? Or I've just a pirate copy? Thanks. The cover and the disc are showing below.

[Jacob 0]

Anyone have a higher resolution image for the cover of LaLa's The Big Country?

300x300 is the best I've been able to find:

[Andy 4,127]

Here you go:

The Big Country

I go there for lots of artwork. Some scans there are better than others, but in general, it's the best site I know for soundtrack cover art.

[Jacob 0]

Awesome.

[indy4 155]

What classical piece is playing at the start of this video of the Yo Yo Ma boxset?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad13G3S-5hw

[Koray Savas 2,251]

It says it right below the video

Yo-Yo Ma - III. Finale. Allegro moderato from Concerto in B minor for Cello and Orchestra, Op. 104Download This Song: AmazonMP3

[indy4 155]

Whoops my bad. And thanks!

[Marian Schedenig 8,193]

The Dvorak concerto is awesome.

[Muad'Dib 1,802]

Anybody know what music is being spoofed on this clip from Naked Gun 3? Or if I can find that piece anywhere...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaGLZEdYDGU

Stars right at 2:10.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

Is The Phantom Menace and Other Film Hits (1999, Varese) recommendable? The appeal for me is re-recording of TPM music and concert arrangements of Flag Parade and Jar Jar's theme (I've heard the Prague versions and I don't like them at all). What's the story with this one?

[Faleel 5,348]

you dont like the prauge version of the flag parade? why not? i thought it was the best atleast better then RSO

[Datameister 2,042]

It's...Prague. Those horns...oh, the nightmares...

[Naïve Old Fart 9,528]

Does anyone what synthesisers are used on "The Rec Room"? As both Fairlights, and Synclaviers were barely in use, then, my guess would be a combination of Prophet5, and an Oberheim OBX. Any suggestions?

[Faleel 5,348]

It's...Prague. Those horns...oh, the nightmares...

i like em, sounds like something a marching band would play at a sports game (which podracing is supposed to be like)

[Datameister 2,042]

Granted, it's not as bad as I remembered, but those trumpets are headache-inducing, and as usual, the reverb is just weird. Listening to the original recording after that is like taking a cool shower after a long day out in the sun.

And now I feel slow, but I'm finally realizing that the version on the OST is looped. For some reason, I had this idea in my head that the OST version was the full cue, and the UE was shortened to match the film edit. Nope!

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

Yeah I never got that decision to loop that cue. What a disgrace Williams' editing can be. He must have liked that part a lot.

The Varese CD performances don't sound too bad. I'll probably get it since it's available for dirt cheap anyway.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,528]

Does anyone know of a complete score for "Highlander"? All I have is the "I-III" compilation.

[Jay 37,363]

For a while Varese was releasing a compilation every year of the hit scores of the year (re-recorded). Sometimes some cool stuff showed up, like Silvestri's arrangement of the Mission Impossible Theme, or Goldsmith's Judge Dredd trailer music

Anyway, I'd like to collect them all. I've found these titles in the series; Does anybody know if there are any more?

Screen Themes (1988)

Hollywood Soundstage: Big Movie Hits. Vol 1 (1991)

Highway To Hollywood: Big Movie Hits Vol. II (1991)

Hollywood Backlot: Big Movie Hits VOl. III (1992)

Hollywood '94

Hollywood '95

Hollywood '96

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Hey I remember seeing one of those Hollywood CDs somewhere around the house. Doesn't matter though, since I'm pretty sure it was '96, or maybe '94.

[Faleel 5,348]

is rosenmans LOTR worth getting?

[Marian Schedenig 8,193]

Many will say no. I say it's one of the Great Scores. Not easy stuff. Do you know any other Rosenman music?

[Faleel 5,348]

nope! i mean i know he has done star trek the voyage home but nothing else

[Wojo 2,453]

I enjoy Hellfighters a lot. I don't listen to Star Trek IV as much as the others, but do enjoy the main title. I bought his Lord of the Rings, but have listened to only half and it has not made it onto my iPod yet.

[Faleel 5,348]

i have listend to some samples on youtube and it seems pretty decent, though one that i would really like to be able to get my hands on is the Return of the King (1980) rankin/bass soundtrack but not just the songs but the score, mainly the cue that plays when theoden arrives.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,528]

is rosenmans LOTR worth getting?

Yes; it is a good score. Star Trek IV is good, too, but I have to admit that my favourite track is Market Street! If you are feeling adventurous, why not try Fantastic Voyage, Beneath (and/or Battle For) The Planet Of The Apes, Rebel Without A Cause, Barry Lyndon, RoboCop 2, or Cross Creek.

[Faleel 5,348]

i was wondering has the music for the movietown reel in Up been released? (higlight text to view:) because when i try to dvd rip it doesnt work
