Anybody else dislikes that extreme reverb in Goldsmith 80s scores?

 

[Jay 37,374]

Total Recall is a 90s score.

One would hope so... I think it's a terrific entry (as I've said many times), with DD doing lots of interesting things with JW's themes and some great action music. I can't see why he'd dislike it; it may have been completely different to what he would have done, but technically it's a well wrought work and the integration of JW's themes is significantly more effective and interesting than, say, Rogue One, where you can kinda understand if JW wasn't that thrilled.

And then give Giacchino the job for Jurassic World? Seems very unlikely.

 

I mean, the treatment of Williams' themes is not the attractive part of JP III. It is rather... everything else.

Probably Davis should not have reused Williams's themes at all for JP III. It would have even become a better score, I guess.

Oh right. So, 80s and 90s then. Still the reverb is annoying. Like Insurrection (a 90s score as well). Hardly listenable to me, just because of that reverb.

 

That is a big reason, why I like his scores from the 60s and 70s better.

An accurate distinction, but did it sound noticeably different from, say, The Final Frontier, a year earlier? Which was an 80's score?

[Naïve Old Fart 9,554]

Barely.

@Tallguy is right; there's not a lot of difference.

Wasn't TOTAL RECALL recorded at CTS? That was notorious for reverb.

[Tallguy 3,402]

I'm not a Goldsmith scholar, but when did he move to his far wetter sound (as demonstrated above)? It's hard to tell with Hoosiers. Gremlins was quite a bit drier wasn't it? Now I'm trying to think how I would classify Secret of NIMH / Poltergeist / Twilight Zone. Innerspace is definitely in the Star Trek V ballpark.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,554]

There's tons of reverb, on THE SECRET OF NIMH. It's distracting. THE TWILIGHT ZONE isn't so bad. POLTERGEIST is very well recorded, with not too much reverb, and the same with THE FINAL CONFLICT, but NIGHT CROSSING is reverb heavy.

Yes, @Tallguy, INNERSPACE is veering toward ST5.

As I said: CTS Wembley, was known for reverb.

I love it. Nobody did it like Botnick. It's reverby and still totally transparent.

[Faleel 5,364]

Star Trek 5 and that Total Recall cue sound okay to me

 

Insurrection is god awful though, sounds bloated and distant/detached.

I love it.  And yet I wouldn’t want it for all scores. I often actually prefer a drier tight recording. But there’s something about it with say Explorers or Supergirl that adds to the fantasy feel.  For me anyway.  But I can totally see how it could be equally annoying for others. 

[Schilkeman 964]

Universal would also have The Terminal, I believe. That's a great score I would love to have an updated release for.

So just one title for October then. Cool. 

[Cindylover1969 32]

Fans, go nuts.

[Brando 1,864]

I didn’t realize that was the announcement. Thought they were just saying happy birthday lol. Roll on Black Friday!!

[Holko 9,532]

With the speed of approvals, maybe they decided to keep even a few already approved titles that could have come out in September or October until BF just to make sure they have something for BF?

[Jay 37,374]

Well MV already said that October 3 would have either one or two titles :

Below is our plan for the rest of the year:

 

Sept 5 -- Star Trek TOS Vol 2 (cd release)
War of the Worlds/When Worlds Collide (cd release)

 

Sept 12 -- Scarface (Limited edition Vinyl pressing)

 

Oct 3 -- One title for sure...possibly 2

 

Nov 7 -- One title for sure...possibly 2

 

Nov 24 -- Our Black Friday batch...4 to 5 titles

I say the studios should crank it up a notch and also spend months looking at the BF press release, before moving onto the Black and finally considering the Friday. That way, we could get the BF batch in February 2025, save mor money and the studios can knock themselves out approving things.

[mstrox 6,651]

I will pick this one up.

[Corellian2019 386]

Oliver Stone has announced on his social media that Shout Studios will release JFK in December on the UHD format.

JFK is a curious one though, seems to have been held up for years now.

La-La Land Records presents an all-new restored, remixed, remastered and expanded “ULTIMATE” stereo presentation of renowned composer Harry Manfredini’s original motion picture score to the 1982 feature film FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3, starring Dana Kimmell, Paul Kratka and Richard Brooker, and directed by Steve Miner.

In 2021, the discovery of original FRIDAY score elements culminated in La-La Land’s “Ultimate” restoration of the first two films in the legendary franchise. The 3-D release of FRIDAY THE 13th PART 3 in 1982 launched Jason into a whole new dimension of terror! Now, in 2023, the film’s iconic score achieves an incredible new sonic dimension with FRIDAY THE 13th PART 3: THE ULTIMATE CUT, the newly restored, remixed and expanded presentation of composer Harry Manfredini’s (F13 PARTS 1,2,3,4,5,6, 9, 10, HOUSE, DEEPSTAR SIX), iconic score to the famed horror franchise’s second sequel. Engineer Jerry Lambert and album co-producer Brian Satterwhite, under supervision of Manfredini, have once again restored and remixed the music with results nothing short of astounding! The score is richer, bolder and as unstoppable as Jason himself! Included in this deluxe assembly is music NEVER before released!

Produced by Dan Goldwasser and Brian Satterwhite, mixed by Jerry Lambert, meticulously assembled and edited by Satterwhite, and mastered by James Nelson, this special CD release features exclusive liner notes by Satterwhite that provide a detailed track-by-track breakdown along with an in-depth examination of the release’s restoration and remix process. The art direction is by Goldwasser and the original cover art is by Scott Saslow. A must-have for all FRIDAY fans and film score enthusiasts!

I literally just placed my first-ever LLL order less than 9 hours ago (Sabrina, Saving Private Ryan, Casper). I had stuff sitting in my cart for the last week or two and finally decided to go ahead and place the order. Any idea if it is possible to cancel and then reorder with this 21% off promotion???

[Andy 4,147]

Aw man, that sucks @Tydirium  

 

Worth an email to them at least.

Bought the new F13th release.  I’m pretty tapped out on LLL stuff from their last sale, I think.

I’m debating if the Trek TOS volumes are needs or wants considering I have the box set.  21% off sounds awesome, and it is, until you see it really only pays the shipping.

Here we are 21 years old and still going strong. Next up, 25 years...and then finally we can legally rent a car from any car rental place!

[Trope 527]

A handful of friends and I had a group listening session together and we listened to the expanded Prisoner of Azkaban set (their first time). Being familiar with the OST, I think they really enjoyed hearing all the previously unreleased music and how it affected the shape of the musical narrative. I just kept thinking about what a great release the Potter boxset was (possibly my favourite expansion I own) and how lucky we are to be able to hear all of JW's intricate musical gems produced by people who really care.

Take those stickers off the Star Trek jewel case @Bespin  .  It makes it look like you ripped off a library copy.
