Who are they?

 

Top. Men.

[Jay 37,346]

Oh man, I wanted to look up the lyrics to the TOD version and found this:

 

Yi wang de si wa yi kan dao
Xing li bian yao la jing bao jin tian zhi dao
Anything goes

 

Yi wang yi lu jiu cha zhen mei hao
Qing shu shu shua le feng ye ni dao yi dao
Anything goes

 

Wan hua chen shi yi yi dao dao
Bian hua wei bao bian wei dao
Meng huan dong shi da du shi
Do shi wei ni fu shao

 

Ze qi wo dui fei hua long qing liao
Dong hua dong feng song dao shou yi ding hui bao
Anything goes

 

 

If you put that into Google Translate you get some hilarious results

 

Yi Wang's stockings have to raise an alarm when they see xing, I know today

Anything goes

 

Y I Wang is so bad all the way, it's beautiful, Uncle Qing brushed the maple leaves, you fell down

Anything goes

 

wan Huachen is one after another, BI, Anhua, praise and criticism, men G, Huandong is a metropolis, do pay less for you

 

Z is angry, I will give back to the nonsense, dragon green material, dong slide

Anything goes

Continuing some catch up...

 

[Amer 2,097]

Ive got a major haul coming up from NY which was stuck there due to Covid for 2 years!

[Bespin 8,480]

2 years? I'm afraid your package is lost then!

Not lost. Parked at my aunts place. She was to travel to my city but became restricted due to Covid. Finally here. It's here. I can't believe it. It's like BLACK FRIDAY X 5 Times

[Jurassic Shark 12,054]

Did you manage to sneak the package past your wife?

She knew it was coming so I Had her brainwashed her already but she still made a face

 

Here is the loot..... Some are ordered as duplicates: ST:TMP, CE3K, SUPERMAN, FAR AND AWAY, THE RIVER and LEGENDS OF THE FALL. Others from recent orders... 

[Bespin 8,480]

[Naïve Old Fart 9,515]

One of those is great.

[Jurassic Shark 12,054]

Nope.

I still remember when 'Four Feathers' came out, the reaction in film music circles was  - as expected -  racist and ignorant: what's that awful ethnic stuff with the wailing fakir and why isn't there more of the syrupy love theme? 

 

It was truly a schizophrenic effort by Horner, in that respect, kind of like Goldenthal's motto of 'composition as collision'. Particularly two pieces 'The Mahdi' and 'Escape' are marvelous examples how to wed eastern/western.

[Bespin 8,480]

Where would film music be without Varèse Sarabande?

Wailing fakir? Seriously how uneducated those folks are. Director Shekhar Kapur sought Qawwali singer Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan as a virtuoso artist to collaborate with James Horner. He had previously employed Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan for Bandit Queen and previously Peter Gabriel used him in THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST. When Nusrat Fateh died, Rahat took over as his grand seat of the Qawwali.

 

Qawwali is the mystical Devotional singing art of the Sufi order from the region of Pakistan and India going back 500 years. 

 

Back in 90s Nusrat Fateh did back to back concerts in New York, London, Paris rendering the western audiences in a mesmerizing fervor. He was an instant hit. He also participated in DEAD MAN WALKING with Pearl Jam's  Eddie Vedder. 

 

James Horner called his collaboration with Rahat one of the most rewarding experience of his career. He then reemployed him for APOCALYPTO. Rahat is one of the Top vocalists working in Bollywood film music playback groups. I once asked Hans Zimmer about  him and if would collaborate with this world music artist and he was already enthusiastic. Hopefully that will happen someday.. 

 

[crocodile 8,000]

Didn't he use him as well on Black Gold?

 

EDIT: No, that,was someone else. My bad.

Almost a decade later, JH re-used one of the themes from The Four Feathers in his score from Avatar.

 

It's interesting that one of the themes for the biggest movie of all time came from a box office bomb like this.

More than a decade later, he used the main theme from FF verbatim for 'For Greater Glory'. Don't know if it's interesting or anything, but he did just that;

[Jurassic Shark 12,054]

Originally wasn't exactly his forte.

[Bespin 8,480]

A little LLL order... on the side, just like this...

Started listening, got bored and stopped. So, maybe I missed the good part.

[Bespin 8,480]

I loved it, listened to it all the morning!

[Bespin 8,480]

It's a race I'll never win! But I try!

 

 

[Naïve Old Fart 9,515]

That's a nice selection, Bes, except the first one...aand the second one . Everything else is fine .

[Holko 9,519]

[Jay 37,346]

Just placed an order direct at Intrada for 3 Horners and 3 Goldsmiths

The middle one?

[Marian Schedenig 8,191]

Of course.

[Jurassic Shark 12,054]

I actually found it kinda disappointing. Too simple.

[Jay 37,346]

Just placed an order direct at La-La Land for two Horners and two Goldsmiths

Congrats on purchasing TRL!😄

[bollemanneke 3,342]

I just bought Beethoven's symphonies 5 and 6 played by the Hanover Band. Very hard to find and really happy that this echoey, period instrument recording will be on my shelf in a few days... and that it didn't have to come from Canada, but from France. Symphonies 3, 5 and 7 (Karajan 77) next month. I like collecting.

The Hanover recordings are fine, although the acoustics does require getting used to.

[bollemanneke 3,342]

Indeed, but I chose that one because it's the only good period one that nails the dance in the pastorale (movement 3).

[Naïve Old Fart 9,515]

My order arrived, today.

Vaughan Williams' A LONDON SYMPHONY - the Roger Norrington recording - and the Chandos Dutilleux LE DOUBLE.

I'm in music heaven 

[Bespin 8,480]

 

[Bespin 8,480]

This way, I'll be ready for their 50th anniversary in 2028.

 

[Jurassic Shark 12,054]

That's possibly their best compilation.

[Bespin 8,480]

I'm crazy about these Varèse compilations, it makes me discover so much new music... I'll never live long enough to collect all the CDs I want.
