Jay 37,346 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Alan Silvestri - Predator 2 (Varese Deluxe)Still amazingCraig Safan - The Last Starfighter (Intrada Complete)Absolutely fantastic in every way. A+ score, A+ release of said score.Howard Shore - The Battle of the Five ArmiesStill the weakest of the three Hobbit scores, but still good. I fully expect the EE music will elevate this score to a much higher level than I find it now.Mark Mancina - Speed 2 (La-la Land)Great action music!

Jay 37,346 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Various Artists - Ron Howard: Passions and AchievementsNice compilation of one track from the score to each of Ron Howard's first 12 films. So represented are Horner (Cocoon, Willow, Apollo 13, Ransom), Randy Newman (Parenthood, The Paper), Thomas Newman (Gung Ho), John Williams (Far and Away), Zimmer (Backdraft), Lee Holdridge (Splash), Burt Bacharach (Night Shift), and Peter Ivers (Grand Theft Auto). Very nice cues all around (even Zimmer's), though the choice to add dialogue to Apollo 13's cue (The Dark Side of the Moon) was a poor one.Man, I forgot how awesome The Land Race is!)Thomas Muis - De SchoonmaaksterScore to our own Mr. Breathmask's short film. I enjoyed it quite a bit! Nice piano work!Angèle Dubeau - Game MusicThis album right here. Very cool violin-led interpretations of some video game scores. My favorite tracks where the ones with music from Chrono Trigger & Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana, But I enjoyed the whole album! Tetris music was really fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Zimmer must have written that boring score on purpose. He looked at Nolan and said "How could you have made something so utterly coma inducing? I've received more entertainment from ASMR videos on YouTube! I and my underlings will write something appropriately and equally boring for your film."Whereas Craig Safan would have watched the workprint of TLSF and said to Nick Castle, "Hey man, this movie blew me away. The special effects, the story, the romance. Space is romantic! This deserves the best space music since Trek Wars!"Jerry Goldsmith would have watched STFC and said "have you worked out my paycheck with my agent?" and then "Hey Joel, you got a few moments to help me score this crap?"

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm listening to the Star Wars Trilogy Anthology in order discs 1-4, for the second time today. I haven't listened to those discs in disc order since 1997. I used the included book to distribute the tracks on disc 4 where they went in the other albums, taped them to 90 minute cassettes, and never looked back until I entered mp3 land.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I used to have CD-R versions around the year 2000 that were assembled into roughly chronological order. I also owned the RCA 2-disc book versions at the time, but I preferred the Anthology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 The Anthology is my go-to too. But the RCA Empire represents that score a lot better, especially the complete Battle of Hoth. And I hate interrupting the flow of the last quarter of the score by having to switch discs to hear Carbon Freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 That's what playlists are for. There's nothing missing from the Battle of Hoth on the Anthology except a bar at the end of The Rebels Escape Again. I prefer the clean endings and starts as presented on the Anthology. I even prefer the fucked up stereo channels in Drawing the Battle Lines / Leia's Instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 The theme from First Contact is some of Goldsmith's very finest work. As for Joel Goldsmith's contributions, as it turns out The Search for the Borg is all his, and it's always been one of my favorite cues. The Dish is fucking nirvana.
