Jay 37,364 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 John Debney, Joel McNeely, and Andrew Cottee - The Orville (Season 2 OST) I love this! My first listen since the week it came out. I think these album might flow better and be more exciting than the Season 1 OST.

Popular Post The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted April 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2021 Joined @Holko and @SteveMc for another successful Discord listening session, this time to take in a shortened program of Dimitri Tiomkin's superb score for The Fall of the Roman Empire (see playlist below). Holko noted that it works very well as an orchestral suite in and of itself, with Tiomkin dipping into several classical territories at times, from Russian dances and Stravinsky-inspired outbursts to some lovely pastoral passages and a hint of Korngoldian wistfulness. A solid collection of super strong themes are on full display in this selection, with the Prelude, Pax Romana (ah, the time when films allowed for a single idea to be gleefully played around with for five minutes without interruption), Lucilla's Sacrifice (simply gorgeous!), The Roman Forum... (what a way to end Act I!), the Intermission (), Addio (lovely choral piece), Timonides' Triumph... (bunch of great themes here!), and The Fall of Rome being some clear highlights. Certainly my favourite Tiomkin, and Steve and Holk were very much hooked! Thanks for joining, fellas! SteveMc, Holko and Romão 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intermission reminded me of 70s JW. Other parts exemplify a very mature, full-bodied, Golden Age sound with some espirit of Bach, Mussorgsky and other influences. I'm impressed with how Tiomkin was able to craft his own "Roman" sound distinct from Rozsa's grave historicity and spirituality and Newman's more emotion based approach.

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Damn the first one is great! The score presentation is really terrific. It's certainly one of the best recent Williams expansions. Fargo is quite okay there is a nice atmosphere, really close to the movie, although I don't find it's Carter Burwell's best work Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never understand why it's not highly regarded. It's like the feel good fairy tale twin of Gilliam's Brazil. The score fits it perfectly, although I never picked it up because so much of it is based on Khatchaturian. But I probably should, and I guess I would discover there's more to it than is apparent in the context of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 A grandfatherly Bond score in tempo, but i still can't help but love Barry's portentous eminence and sometimes even ethereal elevation he gets out of a bad Sly 90's potboiler. Case-in-point: Ray meets May at her Funeral, with one of these, flowing wordless choruses harking back to 'The Last Valley' (one of his masterpieces).

Tom Guernsey 2,284 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Nostromo (Ennio Morricone) - is there a more gorgeous Morricone/Edda dell’Orso theme than The Silver of the Mine?! Ok so there’s Once Upon a Time in the West at the least and several others in contention. But for my money this is the most beautiful. A gorgeous melody, wonderfully arranged, those little quirky outbursts from the orchestra only enhance (through the way it contrasts with) the enchanting beauty of the main melody. The rest of the score is no slouch, the Tropical Variation is another highlight. Not sure I’ve ever seen it as a top Morricone recommendation but it really ought to be. The only slight negative is that the album is, rather unnecessarily, a double disc set. If the (identical) reprises is the two aforementioned tracks were dropped it would easily clock in at less than 80 minutes. A strange production choice. But still worth seeking out if you love Morricone. Not Mr. Big and Raiders of the SoundtrArk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there are lots of other scary scores that Morricone did that would give a good idea. Although I’m not sure what Nostromo is close to. Kinda hints of the Mission with the panpipes but only in a general sense. It’s more closer relative to Jerry’s score to Medicine Man to be honest.

Popular Post Nick Parker 3,040 Posted May 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2021 Listening to Mancini's Lifeforce for the first time in many years. Sweet jesus, definitely magnum opus material. Crazy that a film like it got a score such as this! This track alone is enough to jettison the score into one of my favorite music works ever...it's got so much going on: the thrill and mystery of the unknown, the slowly unravelling dread that comes from satisfying the wrong curiosities, all done with the devout patience and momentum of a true master. Goddamn, goddamn, this is how you do an orchestral setpiece! There are also some great moments of urgency and bravado to round out the score and really dial it in as Mancini's answer to the ever burgeoning list of space opera scores at the time. The sound of 80's LSO smears its recognizable hand grease all over this score: thick, pungent brass chords with strings that pierce the atmosphere to aggressively present low winds makes you remember why this was the orchestra that everyone tried to get for their films. Highly recommended! HunterTech, Tom Guernsey and Marian Schedenig 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterTech 994 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 It's a score that I need to have more time with, since I definitely was clouded by my expectations from listening to the main theme so much (which isn't greatly indicative of how much of the music sounds like). There's definitely moments and cues that I admire, but it's hard for me to listen to a score that (seemingly) isn't that thematic, and focused much more on the kind of mood it was aiming for. After Molly Maguires, I'm definitely aiming to acquaint myself with Lifeforce more soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair, the theme itself doesn't get too much obvious airtime until the climax. The general timbres and harmonies are what I define as the thematic material in this one, not much in terms of motivic melodic identification. A good number of melodic moments, but not used in a motivic way. But I want to pour this score into a bathtub and dunk myself in its mood and atmosphere...where's my ladle?
