It was a pressed promotional CD from the 90s, I won a signed copy in some website contest back in the day. It's a 42 1/2 minute highlight album Young assembled back then (maybe assuming it'd get a score album, like a Spider-man 3 situation before Spider-man 3) as opposed to the 2008 Intrada complete 66 minute version that is to date the only commercial release. A decent score, though the opening and closing tracks are extremely similar to that year's Apollo 13 score! I'd had it for years before the official release came out. It's not necessarily top shelf Young all the way through, but overall it's still among my Young favourites. I love Fever (and the variations of it in Fever's Fever, which wasn't on the promo).

Popular Post LSH 969 Posted October 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2021 APOLLO 13 - JAMES HORNER My favourite Horner score. I don't listen to it often, for that reason. But I'm drunk, so I need it. Many moments to behold. The lonely, plaintive opening version of the theme... and the glorious, full-blooded iterations in the final couple of cues. And all the stuff in between. The incredible The Launch, the thrilling Master Alarm (the best version of that particular structure he's used before), the haunting The Dark Side Of The Moon... it's all sublime. One of the best Horner scores, and one of the best scores of the 90s. I love it. Jay, Tom Guernsey, Edmilson and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also.. a shoutout to the Re-entry & Splashdown cue: As in the film, the first four minutes is literally waiting for something to happen, and Horner scores it beautifully. It's incredibly tense but also so so emotional. It could have been just four minutes of a tremolo string line keeping us waiting but he modulates and tempers so creatively and beautifully to keep the interest up, with that snare drum always there.

Thor 7,506 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Sarde is a bit hit and miss to me, but I like this one. Waltzes and all.

Tallguy 3,394 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 My kids are re-watching the 2017 DuckTales (amazing show!) and while I was reading about it I discovered there is something called The Moon Theme from the original video game. Apparently this is well known enough that Lin Manuel Miranda started to use it for his character thinking it would be a terrific in joke and the show runners stopped him saying "No no. We have plans." And I have to admit that they put it to great use. So now I'm listening to entirely too many versions of this. Disco Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I agree that the reboot series was great @Tallguy, and you owe it to yourself to give a listen to the classic video game soundtrack the Moon theme is from.

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Starship Troopers (Varese) by Basil Poledouris I've watched the movie a second time recently and was so amazed by this incredible score that I've decided to listen to the expansion. It's such a great listening experience however I recalled that the main theme was more present than it is on this CD. Is the expansion complete or is there some missing cues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,367 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 The Varese Deluxe Edition contains everything you can hear in the film except for the film version of "Bug Attack On Cameraman" and the extra percussion you can hear in "Bugs!!". I think overall it's complete, at least in terms of having one version of every cue, although the cue "11M3 Zander and Carmen", which wasn't used in the movie anyway, seems to have been recorded but isn't here since IIRC it turned up on a boot somewhere, and there are reports of more alternates existing too, but maybe they weren't recorded, I dunno. The main theme appears in 1-04 Friends Forever @ 0:22 1-09 Teamwork @ 0:20 1-20 Battle Ready @ 0:14 2-04 Rico’s Roughnecks @ 0:59 2-06 They Will Win @ 2:55 I think that's all of it's appearances anyway...

Jay 37,367 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Poledouris didn't write anything for the end credits. For the film, the music editors just cobbled together various bits of existing cues to cover the end credits. The "End Credits" track on the Varese Deluxe Edition is just a dump of that assembly, direct from the film's music stem, not rebuilt from proper elements like the rest of the DE Raiders of the SoundtrArk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LSH 969 Posted October 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2021 Newman's magnum opus in my opinion. Everything you've ever expected from Thomas Newman is in this score. The quirky, the rhythmic, the sparse piano thing that he does, the completely haunting lush strings and meandering woodwinds... The Main Title is worth the price alone. What an utterly gorgeous piece of music. I can remember listening to it on repeat on my Sony Walkman walking to work every morning back in '04. Anyway, I think this is the best thing he's ever done. Other scores of his have better individual cues (outside of the aforementioned) but as an overall work... this is sublime. I'm a huge Newman fan and I'd die to hear something of this quality from him again. I'd go as far as putting it in my top 20 'Desert Island' scores of all time. It's that good. Gives me fucking goosebumps every bloody time. Tom Guernsey, Edmilson, KK and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
