What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Some nice arrangements. I really liked those from Bullitt, The Eiger Sanction, Charade and Skyfall

[Jay 37,352]

Wow he looks just like his dad

[Jurassic Shark 12,067]

Tall and narrow?

Yeah he just miss a poncho, a hat and an aged cigar!

[Jurassic Shark 12,067]

He looks a bit like a young Kevin Costner.

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

A great mix of remix from Kubrick's best movie IMO

Cinderella Liberty by John Williams.

This is a great score! When I started listening to JW's music, this was the third record album that I bought. To this day, it's still in my top 10 JW scores.

I wouldn't go that far (unless you count all the Star Wars and Indiana Jones scores as one) but this score is surely underrated.

All this talk about THE MATRIX made me want to pull out this ol' gem again as my final choice of the day. It has some wild writing (occasionally modernistic, but mostly romantic), but whenever I play it, I'm also struck by the more down-tempo, beautiful segments, making me say "ah, I didn't remember it had that too". Every single time.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Anyone else find the OST program on Disc 2 a bit on the muffled side compared to the main score program and previous releases?

[Thor 7,495]

 

Beautiful, orchestrally sophisticated 2013 score from one of Norway's most underrated - and underused - composers. But he insists on living in our country's 8th biggest city, and the film production is much, much lower there than in the "top 3-4", so to speak. I've tried to get him to Oslo, but he won't budge.

[Jurassic Shark 12,067]

The picture doesn't show.

[Thor 7,495]

Weird, it does to me. But I read something about Discogs prohibiting hotlinking lately (presumably not available to view for certain browsers), so I changed to Spotify's pic instead.

[bruce marshall 1,315]

Norway has " underrated" composers?!

😳

[Thor 7,495]

I suppose to a foreigner, all Norwegian composers would be underrated. Except maybe Edvard Grieg.

 

 

This 2016 soundtrack is one of those solid, organic efforts where Mark Suozzo's original music blends in with a large range of classical music. It works conceptually.

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Magnificient!

[Thor 7,495]

 

Wacky and delightful. I've decided to go through my Elfman soundtrack collection by year again. Inbetween listening to other things, that is. But no worries -- I'm not going to do "Now Playing" posts of all 110 Elfman soundtracks I have.

You could.

I've never count but how many scores did Elfman writes in his career?

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

I'd only listen to his actual good ones.

129 composer credits on IMDB

Yes, but that also includes single themes etc. It's not 129 film scores -- just wanted to specify that for Raiders.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Thor said the 110 Elfman soundtracks he has, not every score he's ever released or credits he's received for short films or DVD supplementary docos. Way for a "gotcha" to backfire!

[Jurassic Shark 12,067]

Why doesn't Spielberg make a movie about JWFan? JW could do the score.

Nothing. It worked out well in Seinfeld.

Might as well call it 12 Angry Men, and maybe drop the "12".

Let's move it over to this thread.

 

 

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Lot of unreleased materials here and I find the presentation much better than the original score

[Thor 7,495]

I'm on CD 4 of the Delerue set now. Don't want to make an image post about it. 

[Datameister 2,042]

I took my first listen to The Long Goodbye today. I like this unique entry into Williams's oeuvre, but boy, does the repetition make for an earworm of gargantuan proportions...

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

It's very short but it's still got some nice stuff.

Horses for courses, Mr. trArk.

None of the 9 SW scores, or the 4 IJ scores by JW, would be in my top-10, but that's just a personal choice.

Quite simply, the greatest score that JW has ever composed. I know no other way of describing it.

[GerateWohl 4,357]

Obsession - Bernard Herrmann

 

Sounds to me like a classical Herrmann score for a Hitchcock movie apart from the extensive use of a female choir. Funnily, even though this was a de Palma movie the choir work reminds me a lot of how John Williams used the same sound about a year later in Family Plot for Hitchcock.

What is it with Goldsmith and monkey movies?

[A24 4,331]

Clearly the producers of Congo made a simplistic link. 

[Jurassic Shark 12,067]

I guess he felt at home with them.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

There was no escape

[A24 4,331]

 

This CD sounded particularly good on my pure malt speakers. 

[Jurassic Shark 12,067]

You actually like this score?

My impression was that it's very well recorded. The score itself leaves me a bit unmoved, just like the movie did. I haven't listened to it all that much though ...

Hey even dud music can be made enjoyable though good recording and mastering.

Alberto Inglesias' TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY is a brilliant score, from an outstanding, and very classy film.

I find it a bit to boring. The story wasn't much interesting and the great cast didn't succeed to make me forget that.

Years?!? Are you nuts? A that long abstinence might have killed you!

 

Great presentation for a very fun score. Really liked this western Bernstein-like effort from the maestro.
