Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Braveheart!!!!! I will finally be able to correct one of the biggest gap in my Horner collection. Thanks to everyone at LLL for making this possible After the Goldsmith year, this one surely looks like a Horner's year: already 4 score expansions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,346 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 The Braveheart expansion first came out in November 2015 and had sold all 3,000 copies by late 2019. I'd guess this reissue might just sell another 3,000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,684 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I was just thinking that it must've sold well to justify another run, given MV's comments about all their releases that didn't shift. I assume it's an identical reissue - I've got the original and don't want to buy it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerateWohl 4,356 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Why just can't the Braveheart score warm my heart in any way? Somehow James Horner doesn't get through to me. Holko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I've yet to really get too much into Braveheart myself. I actually just looked over and saw the 2015 pressing is on my shelf of physical CDs I haven't listened to yet, in this case even opened yet. I guess I should wait and see if there are any differences with the new edition before I do open it. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,433 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I love Braveheart, it used to be one of my favorite Horner scores. I listened to it a lot, so I don't think it has the same impact on me. But I still like it regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,684 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Braveheart is a release I bought for a handful of moments not included on the OST, and not because I needed the full score. I find much of it heavy Horner melodrama, but there's about an hour of solid, memorable material. For a recent unexpected use of Making Plans/Gathering the Clans, see the Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 15 finale. StarFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man was a workaholic. It's from 1986. It underscores a very silly - bordering on inexplicable - film, about an orangutan, starring Terrence Stamp, and Elizabeth Shue. The score doesn't get much love, here at JWfan, but I am one of the exceptions who think it is, in fact, a really good score. Most people think I'm mad for thinking this, but I don't care. It's a curious mix of standard film fare, and modern touches, in the shape of electronic drums, and synthesised ape noises.

It is, actually. The phase after 'Legend' (which must have struck him hard) until 'Basic Instinct' or even 'First Knight' was the weakest in his career with some borderline offensive offerings, but he was always the film music Tesla, with failure being at least a 50% option when he tried new stuff like the Fairlight. 'Link' is much better than many others of that time, but it's also unafraid being goofy, something especially hardcore Williams fans are understandably are wary about.

publicist 4,643 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 The only mistake is to introduce it so upfront in the main title, long before Link's appearance.

Yavar Moradi 2,598 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I feel like the writing in Lionheart is a bit more complex and less streamlined (which is why the Hungarian orchestra has trouble playing it at times) compared to First Knight. Also, I really don't like Arthur's Fanfare much from the latter (every other thematic element I love). Yavar bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
