crocodile 8,012 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Picked this up at my local HMV today. Some of it is of not much interest --- sound-designy horror music that doesn't really work away from the film. But when it's good it us really good. The 10-minute finale track alone is worth the price. Karol publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Varese kindly sent me a replacement copy for Star Trek 09's Deluxe Edition which was cracked due to some flimsy shipping packaging. Even though I saw The Incredibles first, Star Trek was the first time I was aware of Giacchino; it's a great album and after listening to the hybrid sessions for years, I never noticed some of the material until now, probably because of the way it's presented. As a recent fan of Cowboy Bebop and Yoko Kanno's work, I picked up a copy of Future Blues, the album for the film. Kanno slips into multiple styles and genres so easily it's hard to believe it was composed by the same person, but it's a fun ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OST is a rather weird thing though and curiously blends cues together via extensive crossfades. It's not necessarily a proper representation of the score in its original form.

Karol Yeah Kilar's intended and recorded score on the LLL set is the definitive presentation for me, a minor revelation after listening to the OST album with its curious mix and edit decisions for years (which are closer to the film mix and edit of the score I guess). Hearing cues like The Storm in its original form without the overlaying of various elements not meant to be originally overlaid was an improvement in my opinion. Kilar's particular style and brand of minimalistic repetition might wear one down a bit though but his romantic material and horror stuff is first rate here and certainly very unique. The LLL set really raised my opinion on this score. Marian Schedenig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,074 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Surprisingly, I usually perfer big band music played by big bands. Orchestral big band performances almost always popify the music to some extent, and the performance often is too sedated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
