Trent B 337 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I ordered The Fugitive from Movie Music, looking forward to getting the complete score for that. Hmm, if that info on Alan Silvestri's site is accurate I'll pick up The Eraser for sure and toss the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Alternatively, you could order from www.moviemusic.comAnd add a third title to get $1 shipping!I did just that, adding Dragonheart. Somebody I know asked me to buy it if it exists, and so it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Well, after much dithering I took the plunge. I really, really hope there's nothing else released between now and Christmas. I also took advantage of the sale on older titles, too good to pass up. I got:InnerspaceBlazing Saddles (on sale for $9.98)Farscape, Vol. 3 (on sale for $9.98) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I listened to the samples to The Fugitive. They were nice, but not enough to get me to buy the score. Didn't sound much like the JNH I've been exposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 It's early JNH. I'm not much of a fan of that period in his career, but The Fugitive is easily the best one from that time. JNH is an interesting composer. He was pretty successful for 10 years and then he underwent a serious change in style in 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,707 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I would say that this score doesn't click with me because it's JNH in 'early' mode, but then I really want a complete Falling Down (1991) which is actually a few years before. It's a very rustic, raw score with a lot of 90s synthy effects - maybe that's it. I do like the main theme though.Thing with JNH is that I enjoy his work over a wide period, but not all of it, so it's almost pot luck to pick a score as to whether I'll enjoy it. But I've known him as a composer who can do any style whatsoever - animation, western, thriller, drama, comedy - he's literally done every genre there is. I think it's difficult to like everything.

JNH is an interesting composer. He was pretty successful for 10 years and then he underwent a serious change in style in 1999.The Prince of Tides is another early score of his that I like. Has he written a theme that catchy since? It's not a great score - so much mawkish romantic music - but the nostalgic main theme is just wonderful.

Richard Penna 3,707 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I hate syrupy romantic music; don't really care who wrote it - it rarely has orchestration that truly comes from the heart.Maybe one exception is JNH's My Best Friend's Wedding' which has some catchy moments.

Ollie 1,059 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Interesting they are doing Eraser and Mv Gerhard did confirm it over at FSM.Folks I think the floodgates are opening and we are gonna get a lot of stuff we've all wanted.Minus Lucasfilm and Sony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Well Lucasfilm doesn't have much I'd want, the OT (the most important scores there are) are pretty complete, I could live with the Concord Indy boxset although I would certainly like a complete TOD, but it's not anywhere as vital as it was once, the Concord release included all of my most wanted unreleased stuff. The Prequels are going to happen eventually no matter what (may take some years though), besides the only really good prequel score is pretty much complete between the two releases and some videogame music, although I would of course buy a version that is not a mess on CD. That only leaves a complete Willow as something I would buy but may not happen.Sony is more troublesome as I think Hook is a Sony release and that's the expanded/complete score I want the most.

Datameister 2,049 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 IWouldLOVEComplete prequel scores.As would I. Just because their level of amazingness is somewhat lower than that of their predecessors doesn't make them terrible or something.

It's just a matter of when. Maybe when the Saga is finally released on Blu-Ray we'll get the intended editions of the Prequel scores as part of the soundtrack tie in.

Diego 21 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I think that while we'll eventually get expanded prequel scores it may take some time. Right now Clone Wars is very popular so they have a lot of toys to sale to kids. Once the popularity of Clone Wars is over, or when the show is over and kids move on to other things, Lucasfilm will have to rely on the older, long time SW fans and one day they'll notice they could make a buck or two by selling the scores with more music, they might even doubledip (like with the Anthology and SE) and give us expanded and then complete releases.Also, the newest prequel isn't even 5 years old, when we got expanded OT music ROTJ, the newest one, was 10 years old.

John Crichton 4 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I'm buying Innerspace blind, but I've done that with a lot of Jerry and have only been slightly disappointed once (The Boys from Brazil hasn't really clicked with me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I'm blind buying it too, but lately I've been really discovering Goldsmith (with Secret of NIMH, The Great Train Robbery, Total Recall, First Blood, Lionheart) and is awesome, he has surpassed Elfman as my second favorite composer and at times he's even got me thinking he's better than Williams. I then play some SW or Indy and think "no, no... Johnny is the best, sorry I doubted you, Master", but it's close. Also Mark O. said it was like Rebirth from Poltergeist, I couldn't pass this score after a statement like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 ^^^Diego...Innerspace is nowhere in the league of Poltergeist .I don't recall anything that sounds like RebirthBefore Poltergeist was released on c.d. I remember driving many hours while on vacation in the US looking for the LP in record shops and never found it. I wanted to hear Rebirth outside of the film really badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Well, I think Mark (the other Mark) said it sounded like Rebirth, maybe I'm wrong, maybe he was refering to something else. Still, the samples sounded good, what I found on YouTube sounded good so I ordered it. I'm not really expecting another Poltergeist, as I rank Poltergeist among my very favorites, to me, it's pretty much on the SW OT, Indy, Jaws, Superman, E.T. level, it would be hard to top it. However I've been enjoying Goldsmith a lot and have yet to be dissapointed, but like I said I'm pretty much starting to discover him (other than Poltergeist and a few others which I've known for years). With the great number of scores he did, there's got to be a stinker or two, but I've yet to found one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Everyone has stinkers. It's just that Jerry's (and Williams and others at their level) stinkers don't stink as much as other's stinkers....Man, that has me thinking about the Williams' musical farts thread again. Probably the weakest Jerrys I have are ST: Insurrection and Air Force One, but I would call neither a stinker, they're still very listenable.

Marian Schedenig 8,218 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 The Haunting isn't a stinker, it's a pure autopilot score with a wonderful main theme.
