Maglorfin 196 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Ron Goodwin/William Walton - Battle of Britain I have not yet seen the movie, but I have always highly enjoyed the score.

SteveMc 2,674 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Forever Young by Jerry Goldsmith. Quite strong score. Some very nice themes, including an effective love theme. Electronicisms are present, as usual. For some action cues, I wonder if Goldsmith would have been better off just using the orchestra. Cues like "The Diner" and "Treehouse" benefit from the textures, though. Kind of dated atmosphere, but I really like it. In general, it sounds like Goldsmith's most Horneresque score. Is it just me? "Reunited" is a fantastc cue, by the way. Had that one on repeat. Lady Caroline Lamb by Richard Rodney Bennett. Bennett had an interesting voice as a composer. Classicism with flair. Nice writing and performances here, especially for viola in the score. The Iron Giant by Michael Kamen. A personal favorite of mine. Gets a tad too loud in spots, but it is a very flowing score. Orchestrations and themes are vibrant. "No Following" never fails to bring me to tears. And I love that Kamen introduces themes just out of the blue, like the one in "The Army Arrives."

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Solo: A freaking Star Wars Story by John freaking Powell I surprisingly went a number of weeks without listening to this...now I'm addicted again. I can never listen to just one track or one highlight, I always end up wanting to hear the whole thing. It's like film music pizza!

Have you heard his score for THE AZTECS? I can't make up my mind whether his masterpiece is the bombastic MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, or the slow, atmospheric EQUUS. Actually, it might just be GORMENGHAST. No, wait...FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD... I've seen RRB perform live (and I do mean perform), and I've got his autograph.

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 The Shadow by Jerry Goldsmith The syth sounds are so flipping COOL in this, even moreso than usual for Goldsmith. Even the lesser cues have some gnarly syth textures. Doesn't exactly hold an 85-minute listening experience, but I surprisingly didn't feel the need to trim that much.

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I'm sure I made what would be considered by some as blasphemous exclusions, but I made a playlist that goes for 17 tracks/66 minutes. I want to say it's been a great appetizer for The Mummy, but obviously, we don't know for certain if that's indeed going to be the next Intrada release. I'm trying to convince myself it's not, just in case. It's not a holy grail of mine, but it seems to be for a lot of other folks and I'll be happy for 'em.

Just make sure you don't lose the revised 'The Mirrors' which is a) much better than the first version an b) one of Goldsmith's Top 90's action cues.

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I was indeed curious which one was preferred. I hope by revised, you mean alternate? -sweats nervously- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I don't know how it was labeled on the Intrada but it's a shorter 4-minute variant which runs at a faster pace and has much more cartoony zip than the more stately first version that ran longer.

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Phew! Then yes, the 4-minute version is what I picked, and I agree. 1. The Poppy Fields 2. The Clouded Mind 3. I'll Be There 4. Secrets 5. Do You Believe 6. The Sanctum 7. The Call 8. Chest Pains 9. The Knife 10. What I Know 11. The Tank 12. Get Dr Lane 13. The Hotel 14. Fight Like a Man 15. The Mirrors (alternate) 16.

publicist 4,643 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I would kill one of those (What i Know, Get Dr. Lane) for 'Don't Open it' (minus the first 38 seconds) which is a more unique treatment of the baddies motif when Khan's sarcophargus is opened.

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I don't disagree, I just like the flow here (Get Dr Lane serving as a brief calm before delving into the climatic action). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,481 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 John Williams - Bachelor Flat (2008, Intrada Special Collection, ISC 83) Nice little "previously unreleased" score from 1962. The Tuesday's Theme comes from that score, it was re-recorded for a single by John Williams and released in 1962. That's the earliest of JW's movie scores to have been released so far.

crocodile 8,012 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 The Mummy Returns. Jerry Goldsmith apparently hated working on the first film. But that wasn't such a bad one after all (not by Goldsmith standards). But I feel sorry for Alan Silvestri who wrote the finest score of his career for this piece of turd. It's the most colourful work in his entire oeuvre, most detailed and entertaining all the way through. It's really interesting that they decided not to use any Goldsmith at all in this but write a pretty much exactly the same score with (slightly) different style and all new themes. I think the soundscape, as established by Jerry, gave Silvestri a really kick and he's running with it. The score is at least an equal to the first one. It's a delight of summer film score escapism. By the way, it was my first Alan Silvestri album and he never wrote anything as entertaining or better after that. Or even before that, for that matter.

Karol It was also my first Silvestri album, but I sold it mainly because Silvestri's melodic material in this score is annoyingly over-reliant on repetition. Silvestri: How will I manage to fill the entire film with music? Oh, I'll just repeat each melodic phrase to the point of absurdity! This sums it up pretty well: Btw: BTTF 1 and 3 are his best scores. It might be a cliche to say that, but it's nonetheless true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karol To be clear, I'm not criticizing his over-use of themes, but rather how they're constructed. In this score many of the themes can be broken down to the formal pattern AABBCC and so on, where each letter represents a short phrase. At least he could have the decency to vary the phrases more the second time around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why they share that on Spotify, the album (with bonus tracks) can be digitally bought in top notch quality on all good online stores.
