Jay 37,378 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Ludwig Göransson - Creed (OST) Listened to this last night because I've been loving his work on The Mandalorian. I had listened to this when it came out after all the hype, and it did nothing for me then. So now a new listen 5 years later with fresh airs? Meh, still didn't do anything for me. And, the main theme reminded me of something I cannot quite place my finger on. Maybe a japanese video game theme, or an old pop song? Anybody know what I'm talking about?

The two preview tracks seems really lovely. But the album is pretty long and that kind of material is hard to sustain for that long. JNH’s News of the World similarly. Lovely but 45 minutes would have been plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,378 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I think Desplat could make a great suite for concerts, but the 85 minute album is not full of interesting ideas the whole time, not even close to it. A big bummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Independence Day (006 World Records Release, 2000) This is pretty much nigh impossible to find these days, but I'm such a mad completist for this score like no other, only few would recognise or acknowledge its importance in the history of ID4's commercial and non-commercial releases. The fact is, this release contains alternate takes, mixes and edits that simply aren't present on the OST or the LLL, including the alien motif statement in Nuke Attack or the original edit of the final showdown over Area 51. Sure the latter is pretty much all present to a degree on the LLL, but to ask anyone to edit all that together themselves is just silly and assumes we all have the time and skill for that. I'll need to make multiple copies of this version on USB sticks and HDDs because those CD-Rs only last for so long (good luck to everyone who bought those burn on-demand thingies from Amazon!)

Holko 9,532 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Cinema Paradiso - now with more distance between watching the movie and listening to it than last time, I really really enjoyed this presentation of this great music. WotW Intrada main program - well on the way to loving it, still on "really like it". Home Alone 1 - my playlist, LLL main program plus some of the songs and the two more choral carols included. Fantastic. Home Alone 2 - LLL main program with the traps bit edited down. Pretty good. FotR, TTT, RotK - my CR edits. Incredible stuff.

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I just watched the film and i cant remember what scene😅 The cue titles on.this score are like those of AVENGERS- used in recording sessions but not appropriate For an album. Many use a bit if dialog , as a MARKER. For example, the most dramatic scene in AVENGERS is titled " They called it". Wtf?. Ridiculous! I renamed it " Aftermath".

KK 3,307 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Soul by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste There's some neat textures in here, and the jazz pieces are pretty good, but again, it's lacking a musical through line. And the album presentation is just awful (too long, too many spliced up 90 sec cues). I don't understand why they didn't go with Tom Newman on this one. He could have delivered similarly abstract textural ideas in a much more musically accomplished package. But I guess brand association and the image of "boldness" took priority. Wonder Woman '84 by Hans Zimmer Hey, this was fun! The Midnight Sky by Alexandre Desplat Very Desplat...to a fault. It's as unfocused and sterile as the film it accompanies. Keep the opening cue and avoid the remaining 90 minutes of over-familiar Desplat piano figures, grating synth/ostinati combos and wearisome suspense chords. Disappointing, to say the least.

Regardless, he says "See you tomorrow" at the very start of this clip as the cue by that name is starting, which is where the name comes from: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I know that Jay. I said they used dialog to mark cues and kept it for the album. I'm creating cues that reflect the action - so as to better remember them. For instance " Night Fury " instead of " Did You see that" - another line of dialog. It Is My Custom Playlist.

Jay 37,378 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Revo - Bravely Default II (Demo gamerip) Lots of nice new variants of tracks from the original game and a little bit of new material. Will reserve any further judgement until I hear the OST album for the new score when the game comes out next year! Jose Serebrier conducing the Philharmonia Orchestra & Philharmonia Voices - John Powell Film Suites, Vol. 1 A very nice, 49 minute album of selections from 9 of Powell's scores. It's nice to hear some of these familiar tunes in a completely new arrangement, performance, mix, and master. I'll be listening to this one a bunch in the near future, I can tell. Nobuo Uematsu, Masashi Hamauzu, Mitsuto Suzuki, & etc - Final Fantasy VII Remake (Plus OST) This recently released 4 disc, 5 1/2 hour, 106 track collection of bonus tracks is for the die hard fans only. It is comprised of various little bits left off the original 8-disc OST album, as well as new edits of many tracks that were on that release, now containing little bits previously edited out. It doesn't function as a proper album, but I'll be subbing in some of these versions over the original versions and mixing in some of the new tracks as well, into a personal playlist Kasey Kockroach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
