filmmusic 2,541 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 20 minutes of Solomon and Sheba from this cd here: Religious enough, with chorus and appropriate chromatic harmony. I hope we will see an expanded release someday. There is the TT blu-ray which I own, and has an isolated score + effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 5,799 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 On 13/4/2025 at 12:34 PM, Edmilson said: Michael Kamen - Highlander A while ago someone posted on the dark corners of the internet a very long album titled the recording sessions to Highlader. I listened to it over the weekend and... I didn't really like it? At least this presentation. Now, for the record, I've never seen this movie or heard this score before, only saw people saying it was good. Some tracks are indeed great, filled with Kamen's orchestral prowess. The orchestral music is truly incredible, and I liked his adaptation of Queen's Who Wants to Live Forever as a love theme better than his version of the Bryan Adams song in Robin Hood. But there's way too many synth tracks with those characteristic 80s synths that make the score sound incredibly dated and cheesy. Just a lot of cues that are just suspense synths in the 80s style, making me think I was listening to something from a Jason Voorhess or Freddy movie from the day. Did they ran out of budget and a whole part of the score had to be synth, or was it a creative choice? The album doesn't sound great too, whether it's the orchestral or the synth tracks. The score urgently needs an expansion. But in the future I think I'll do like Thor: a curated album that skips the cheesy 80s synth except for maybe one or two of them and has just the orchestral music. I saw that sessions thing and haven’t listened to it. I think for me, this presentation was perfect: It’s easily available and the sound quality was pretty good. I can’t imagine hours of sessions having anything this doesn’t cover. Kamen has such a weird batting average for me.

Jay 41,830 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Michael Giacchino - Star Trek (The Deluxe Edition) I hadn't listened to this score in a WHILE, wow! It was a nice revisit, though I was annoyed all over again by the missing choir and percussion, and other issues (like the missing instruments in "I’ve Fallen And I Can’t Beam Up!") that the official Varese DE has.

Bespin Copilot 9,472 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 On this Good Friday, let us be moved by the emotion of two John Williams' masterpieces. The score from "Schindler’s List" invites us to reflect on life’s fragility and the quiet strength residing within, inspiring deep introspection. Similarly, "Saving Private Ryan" offers gentle harmonies and stirring orchestrations that chart a journey through hardship and hope, echoing our shared resilience. Together, these compositions guide us on an auditory voyage, celebrating the discovery of our persistent inner light amid life's challenges.

Edmilson 10,211 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 JNH - Glengarry Glen Ross Usually, I'm not much of a fan of JNH's 90s urban drama or a huge jazz guy, but this score is a nice lounge jazz to listen to. Not sure how it works in the movie but as an album it's great to listen at night. Been listening to quite a lot of Michael Kamen these days as well: The Three Musketeers - nice baroque pastiche with some fun writing. An expansion in chronological form would be good though. Die Hard 2: Die Harder - it's a bit overlong (like most Kamen scores are) but rewarding in repeated listens. Action music is terrific. Why can't today's action movies be scored like this? These days they all sound like The Dark Knight or Fury Road or whatever. Highlander - finally found a boot that pleased me, without those MANY synth suspense cues. The orchestral parts are some of the best things I've heard from Kamen. Oh, and the Queen songs are great too.

Bespin Copilot 9,472 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 At the start of Yom HaShoah, we pay tribute to the six million Jews and countless victims of the Holocaust. I invite you to listen to "John Williams: 3 Pieces from Schindler's List," an emotionally charged musical suite that conveys the full depth of this tragedy. May we take a moment to reflect on this past and never forget it. Tom Guernsey and Mr. Hooper 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
