Or bemoan the times and mores when someone doesn't conform to the holy E.T.-ism?Oh yeah, internet.Tombstone by Bruce Broughton: One of Broughton's best, a very old school Western score. The main theme is not quite as catchy as the composer's previous Western triumph Silverado but he makes it up with a lovely waltzing love theme and grittier action music.

Incanus 5,715 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I love the album, but the main score is a bit of a slog.It is only about 10 minutes longer than the OST. I too prefer the OST re-recording but the film score has few of my favourite renditions of the main theme. The LLL set finally had the film score recording of the twisted carousel music which was composed but never used in the film and was not on the Varese set. I initially thought JW had done that exclusively for the OST album track Death on a Carousel but it was interesting to discover it was always meant to accompany the scene before replaced by the darker version without the carousel music.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The only Indy score I listen to these days is Tintin!I do feel like Tintin kind of filled the void left by KOTCS, which was relatively humdrum, lacking the whimsy and action/adventure material you'd expect from a JW Indiana Jones score. However, one of my issues with Tintin is the complete and utter lack of, I suppose romanticism? It's one of the reasons it leaves me kind of cold. It is kind of cold. Weirdly, War Horse kind of filled the void left by Tintin. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Some Williams' of lateReturn of the Jedi, Superman and Summon the Heroesalong with Joel McNeely's Shadows of the Empire. With the Expanded Universe effectively shafted by the new film and JJ, this soundtrack (which I know is not a strict OST to the book) sort of sits in the netherworld. Being a score to a book that is now discounted or has Shadows escaped the purge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
