Apart from perhaps After Earth. Cocoon by James Horner: The bleeding heart Horner wrote this sappy fantasy score with memorable themes, excitement and grand finale with a long end credits suite to boot. It's kind of terrific in a magnificent way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some magic is oddly missing in this score for me. It's not missing magic (whatever that is) but it was written in a time when nobody minded having a score like this with a really harsh Stravinsky spin. The tone at times is very dark and modernistic which was avoided by later scores for the genre in lieu of a more sugary overall tone. If you would excise parts like 'Th Tractor' or the first two minutes of 'Sentry Reel' the tone would be markedly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it a bit hard to muster very much excitement during a listen for about half of the album (sans those different song versions at the end + Paul Williams's atrocious performance, which do not count). Let's just leave this as one of those Goldsmith classics I don't fully get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Half of 60 minutes isn't bad at all. I still think that listeners are easily turned off by the more - for this genre - audacious idioms meshed. It's Ravel crossed with Stravinsky and original (and for me, gorgeous) as it is, the gold standard has become something like 'Land Before Time' and similar stuff that is much more traditional and 'grasp'-able in its harmonic language. Still good that you tried...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 For me it's the other way around. I find myself not often listening to 'Poltergeist', possibly due to the fact that the leaner style of NIMH is more to my liking than the somewhat bombastic Spielberg score. Be that as it may, i give kudos to Goldsmith for introducing me to the wonders of impressionism and dissonance at a point when i didn't venture much beyond the flying theme from 'E. T.' in style and content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read something with the opening titles that JNH and M Night both wanted the viewer to experience everything that movie was going to give you all in that 2 minute span. And JNH accomplishes it. I love the campiness of it! (the opening titles - NOT the score) I'd argue that Signs is almost like a modern day Jaws....almost!

publicist 4,643 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 'The Ballad of Cable Hogue' is maybe Sam Peckinpah's most relaxed western, a quiet, leisurely swansong to the Old West with Jason Roboards as prospector slightly off his rockers (and not always surefooted scatological interludes) - Goldsmith responds with what may be his most uncharacteristic, most hippie-ish western score, an eclectic mixture centered around an ironic country ballad 'sung' by the title character, a Pete Seeger-styled love theme and lots of scattered down home fiddle and harmonica stuff. Songwriter Richard Gillis had a hand in developing the songs, probably the reason they are much more long-lined than Goldsmith's typically short and punchy main themes for the genre. The reflective tone yields some teary-eyed lyrical interludes and though it would mean bending myself to describe 'Ballad' as great score, it is a very simpatico addition to the often ballsy Goldsmith genre contributions like '100 Rifles' (probably the most ferocious western score nobody has ever heard of).
