Jay 37,378 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Yea, the Contact theme is way better than that Forest Gump theme Incidentally, the music at 0:00 of that Forest Gump video is just like his theme to The Walk! So I guess Silvestri had some good ideas for Gump, then made them better for Contact and The Walk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,378 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 The Abyss is amazing. The Varese Deluxe edition really opened by eyes to how much great music Silvestri wrote for that project (and how much Cameron replaced with droning) Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,378 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 It's a fantastic score, though the expanded version of BTTF2 opened my eyes to the variety in that score too, had much better sound quality too But yea BTTF is probably the best and most well-rounded BTTF score. Judge Dredd is a fun action score with a great main theme. And man, Jerry's trailer cue for that is aces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Blue Velvet from Angelo Badalamenti. More or less channels Hitchcockian Herrmann very well. Score is quite the drastic contrast of the later Twin Peaks; he's a bit of versatile musician really, ain't he. 20 hours ago, Evil-Lyn said: The Lost World: Jurassic Park If you don't even consider it a top 10 Williams score, you should be executed by Skeletor.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Operation Dumbo Drop - David Newman In 1994 and 1995, Disney released two live-action children's films starring Danny Glover, Angels in the Outfield and Operation Dumbo Drop, cementing my young admiration for the actor long before I saw his more famous and celebrated roles. Listening to this score for a film that I haven't seen since the days when I watched the VHS incessantly in the mid-to-late-90s was a real trip down memory lane. It really is quite good for its kind, even divorced of my nostalgia, entertaining from start to finish. The main theme is a beast! It's gotta be one of D. Newman's best, rising well above the morass of other long-forgotten comedy scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of love for that score, here at JWfan, and long may it continue! Great mix of electronics and traditional orchestra. For a later Barry score too, there are a decent amount of themes as well. The Mujaheldin theme is excellent, though I would have liked to have seen the Russian sounding Koskov motif develop into a full fledge theme, it's still great.

Bilbo 3,709 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring OST - Howard Shore The CR is my preferred version of this score but I love going back to the original soundtrack released in 2001. It's a little heavy on the Ringwraith material in the first half and maybe a little light on History of the Ring but overall I think it might be my favourite OST album of all time. It's sublime and worth owning alongside for the cello line in "The Prophecy" alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodBoal 7,538 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 You basically copied all the ideas I wrote in my review of the OST, so of course I have no choice but to agree 100%! Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo 3,709 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 The Lord of the Rings the Two Towers OST - Howard Shore I really like how this album showcases the new material rather than including the popular bits common with the first film. The Lord of the Rings the Return of the King OST - Howard Shore Rather brilliant Listening to Jaws now. It's by some Williams guy, I think he plays the guitar or something.

I understand exactly where you're coming from but I have always enjoyed TTT OST. Sure, it's nowhere near the level of FOTR but I enjoy it for what it is. If we didn't have the CRs though.... I definitely agree that theres a better OST presentation to be made from all the available material though. Slightly related... while listening to these today it struck me that, occasionally, its nice to listen to the 3 OSTs in under three hours and get a somewhat complete experience in doing so. I prefer the CRs on the whole but sometimes you want something that doesn't take up 11 hours of your life. The problem with the Hobbit releases was the fact that the standard editions were too long. I wish we had nice 70 minute presentations of each of the films. I'm thinking of putting a bit of time into compiling them myself. Have you made some yourself?

I'll have to rework them to make them shorter. Maybe once the CRs are out? ). Here's the AUJ one (78 minutes long): And the DOS one (91 minutes long): And BOFA (95 minutes long. Not entirely satisfied with this one. Didn't put much effort into it (and thus haven't really shortened it that much), but then again I'm not satisfied with how the battle music was presented on the album and you can't really move it around, because all the cues are combined, with almost no clean ending available): 01. Fire And Water 02. Shores Of The Long Lake 03. Beyond Sorrow And Grief (Extended Version) 04. Dragon Sickness 05. The Ruins Of Dale 06. The Gathering Of The Clouds (Extended Version) 07. Mithril 08. Bred For War 09. A Thief In The Night 10. The Clouds Burst 11. Battle For The Mountain 12. War Beasts (= 00:00-02:42 of The Darkest Hour) 13. The Darkest Hour (= 02:42 - End of The Darkest Hour) 14. Sons Of Durin 15. The Fallen 16. Ravenhill (= 00:00-03:31 of Ravenhill + 02:14-End of To The Death (Extended Version). A really half-arsed transition there). 17. Courage And Wisdom 18. The Return Journey 19. There And Back Again 20. The Last Goodbye 21. Ironfoot (Extended Version) Thanks! I'll have a look at this in more detail in the morning. If I do my own I don't think I'll go to the hassle of editing tracks but I would like to see if I can get them all down to 70-80 minutes each. To be consistent with LotR I'd like to include the songs but there's no way I'm putting I See Fire on. I might go with the Dwarf Cast singing for AUJ and Last Goodbye for BotFA. Just go straight to Beyond the Forest for DoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
