Bespin 8,483 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 JNW is perhaps the greatest chameleon of all the composers I know. I put him in the same class as Silvestri: their music is elaborated, sometimes the themes are very subtile (well more in their recent works). JNH doesn't write the kind of film music you can easily whistle, let's say! But he's got some place in my discography... so much music to discover in more depth in the next years...

Bespin 8,483 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Waterworld, I stayed on the idea it was one of the biggest flop ever made. That's a bad Id card for a score, but I still have to discover it, I know it's a must among the fans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,367 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 It's easily James Newton Howard's best score, and one of the best film scores of the 90s in general Holko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fun enough once in a while, but I find it too blunt in its MV leanings to consider it great. In my view, JNH has done much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 4,131 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I never saw the movie until last year, and I thought it was quite fun. Certainly not deserving of its turkey reputation. The adventure theme is definitely hummable. I bought the OST right after. I tried the expansion, but I just didn’t connect with all the 90s flutes and such.

Karol Listened tö that as well and found again not every vocal melody works well just played instrumentally. Funnily, Madonna's Die Another Day works surprisingly well in that regard. But not everything works as well as this Chrissie Hynde song from the living daylights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We often have some film music on in the background. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars. Stuff people recognise. People seem to enjoy it while working as long as it isn't too intrusive. Some random person walked into our office today and said "they felt like they're in a movie". They didn't know instantly what the music was but had some sort of reaction to it as it is so ingrained in our culture. 😀 Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
