Dixon Hill 4,236 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 PS: the soundclips for Alexandre Desplat's MONUMENTS MEN betray a surprisingly animated and pleasantly old-fashioned scoring approach. Not much minimalist stuff in this one.Sounds nice! Desplat is doing some really good stuff for Clooney.Karol I agree. Sounds like it is going to be quite a fun score. Medal of Honour: European Assault by Christopher LennertzThe Book Thief by John WilliamsA.I. - Artificial Intelligence (Oscar Promo expanded thingy) by John Williams: Such a brilliant score. Just about every track is a highlight on this one. David and the Supermecha (or Specialist Visits) is among my all time favourite Williams pieces. That harp duet followed by the cello solo with string accompaniment performing the Blue Fairy Theme are simply and utterly sublime.Oscar promo expanded thingy, eh? Color me intrigued.

Sharkissimo 1,974 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 A wonderful cue Karol, but that's not it. I remember the cue I'm looking for was on one of the old complete score bootlegs, and was a lousy DVD rip with sound fx. I believe it's for when Gigolo Joe is captured.I believe it's called '6M6 Floating Downwards.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,440 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 If you mean that menacing low brass music that plays right before the techno stuff in the film, then I think the track on promo is Neither Flesh Nor Blood.But then again, that might not be it.EDIT: According to this, that scene has been tracked with some material from Moon Rising cue.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a score of contradictions - on one hand you get several cold s-f cues that might alienate you, on the other - some of the warmest things John has ever written.

Dixon Hill 4,236 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I have to track down the extended/promo score or whatever. But on the original album, properly chronologically ordered, the sequence of Replicas, The Search For The Blue Fairy, Stored Memories and Monica's Theme, and The Reunion is just unmatched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,440 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The promo contains about 50 minutes of additional music. But sequenced in a very strange way - the first disc is basically the soundtrack album, the second one - has all the other stuff. Requires a lot of re-arrangement to make any sense out of it.I'd definitely pay to see that thing complete and chronological.EDIT: It's time to post the scoring featurette - let Williams speak about his own work: Karol Dixon Hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can chalk that down to digital recording or masteringMore modern condenser microphones and less and less use of the old RCA Ribbons might explain it better as well, particularly for the brass.But yeah, in short I prefer the 80s/90s Williams in general, with A.I. being something of a holdover from the 90s. I love the early 80s sound in general - Jerry Goldsmith's OMEN 3: THE FINAL CONFLICT being a great example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
