crocodile 8,020 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Well, I sort of did. It was the last thing I listened to last night, while reading the making of book (Return to Tomorrow - The Filming of Star Trek: The Motion Picture).Jack Reacher I'm listening to right now. I'm not exactly in love with this but this Kraemer guy has a lot of potential.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,020 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Since we're talking about Newman, I also listened to Skyfall the other day. It's not one of my favourite albums but I do appreciate what he was trying to achieve in the film. There is a nice autumnal, frosty feel to some of his fragile writing that goes together very well with the somewhat nostalgic tone and ageing themes in this outing.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith by John WilliamsWas it the OST or an expanded fan edit? Personally listening to the expanded (well mine anyways, lol) version of the score is much more enjoyable. A lot of good bits left out of the OST.Expanded fan edit of course. The soundtrack album just leaves out so much good stuff.I listened to all three over the weekend. They were riddled with performance errors. Thank god the LSO is out!

crocodile 8,020 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I think he knew that, Stephanie. Batman & Robin by Elliot Goldenthal. A more stylistically consistent version of Batman Forever. A lot of it is simply re-arrangement of that material but arguably more enjoyable. All of which is ironic, given how this film turned out. Pity there's no official album of any sort for this.

DreamTheater 131 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The Boy Who Could Fly by Bruce Broughton. Beautiful score.There should be more to it than I've found on my initial listen, when I found it a bit boring.It's a problem I have with lots of Broughton's scores. The theme is lovely though.I think he knew that, Stephanie. Batman & Robin by Elliot Goldenthal. A more stylistically consistent version of Batman Forever.
