Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I need to give that one more attention. I listened to twice over a year ago and I remember thinking it was beautifully orchestrated and performed but didn't really connect with the melodies in a meaningful way.

crocodile 8,018 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 They are solid enough. But true, strong melody isn't necessarily the strongest attraction. It's still more melodic than most things these days. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher 350 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 On 5/22/2017 at 4:25 PM, publicist said: Wild Rovers - Jerry Goldsmith For whatever reason Blake Edwards chose Goldsmith, not Henry Mancini for this autumnal western swan song about two drifting cowboys, played by William Holden (wonderful) and Ryan O'Neal. Originally conceived at 2,5 hours, it was heavily edited and changed by MGM, including a reversal of the ending from a negative one to a positive. It's part buddy movie, part doe-eyed reflection about the end of the old west (or better, a demystification of cowboy life). Apparently Mancini and Edwards had a feud on the set of Darling Lili over the use of the music. It's also why Mancini didn't score The Carey Treatment or The Taramind Seed either. It wasn't until Return of The Pink Panther that they were able to settle their differences apparently. Good thing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,552 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 J. F. K. My goodness, this is a powerhouse of a score. THE MOTORCADE, THE CONSPIRATORS, ARLINGTON CEMETERY, THE DEATH OF DAVID FERRIE, GARRISON'S OBSESSION: the score is jam-packed with goodies. It's a score that never let's the listener off the hook. Even the THEME FROM JFK ends in a disconcerting fog of dissonance. It's not an easy listen, by any standard, and it might just be JW's own POTA, but it offers much satisfaction on repeated listening. Just stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This OST is unrelenting! It's very novel to hear Herrmann writing in a militaristic style. I like it! Check out this march. It's on fire! When he marries this militarism with his more usual cerebral style, it's positively breathtaking. Just check this shit out: I listened to this OST again this morning. It's so great. Really happy to have discovered this. Needs a CD release!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 One of my top ten (or perhaps top twenty, at least) scores ever. Speaking of Poledouris, I'm considering looking into Under Siege 2, though I have no desire to sit through the movie to find out whether or not the score is worthwhile. The idea of getting a package in the mail with Steven Seagal's face on it just sounds awkward. Can't we just pretend Katie McGrath saved everyone from the train hijackers instead?

John 2,032 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King - I don't think I'll ever be able to get over just how perfect this score is. Shore managed to perfectly capture the sweeping and majestic feel of FOTR, just on a far grander scale this time. All the previous themes and character motifs are handled so masterfully, and the new themes have such vast depth and richness to them. Shore truly knocked it out of the park with this one. Quite possibly the greatest film score of all time. Both the film and its score mark the end of the age of the great Hollywood epics of old, the likes of which we will never see again.

The score alternates between broadcasting the olfactory sensations through music, which is perhaps its strongest suit with beautiful choral work, the murderous off-kilter suspense that has the pulsing undercurrent that works as an effective musical trigger and the somewhat less succesful faux-classical seriousness of the more melodramatic parts. Overall I do like the music quite a bit and there is a nice dramatic arc to it on the album. Something between ominous and beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
