Naïve Old Fart 12,152 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 "The Book Thief". This is getting to be a really good score. I plan to listen to it at least once-per-day, before I watch the film.

Marian Schedenig 10,833 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Peter McConnell's great score to the first part of Double Fine's wonderful kickstarted adventure game. With Alien allusions in one cue, too. OOoooh, I'm intrigued! The new public launch trailer features not just bits and pieces of the score, but brief shots of both McConnell and the orchestra during the recording sessions as well.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,272 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 No, i'm being serious. Who is the orchestrators orchestrator?

Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Unlike some lazy composers who lack the ability to orchestrate to our high standards.
BloodBoal 7,545 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Why would they need to orchestrate? All the instruments are there, on their keyboard!

Quintus 5,914 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 LOL, you'd think that conductor's performance was ridiculous, check out his other performace: This conductor doesn't fucking surrender!I'd have gone for a beer at the bar if I were sat in the audience during that. What a terrible cue. Sharkissimo 1
crocodile 9,348 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I think Quint means the music. He has a thing for choirs.Karol
Sharkissimo 1,976 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I like choirs, but I agree with Quint. That cue is just grating.

Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 A.I. Artificial Intelligence - John Williams (my personal edit of the score, thanks to the help of both Incanus and Faleel)This is John's masterpiece. Nowhere else (in my own experience) does he reach the level of spirituality that this score is radiant with. Kubrick would certainly have been pleased with it; no last-minute replacements would have happened with this one, heh. It's a journey through a bleak and cold future, with an undercurrent of the most sincere humanity which is allowed to come through in all its warmth by the journey's end. The result is one of the finest efforts of a human being to capture and meditate on the strange marriage of light and darkness that defines our existence. I sat and listened to this straight through with my family. I don't want to listen to it any other way from now on. Incanus 1
The Score Cleaner 8,460 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 The Return of the King - Maury LawsI love the main theme, I would like this to get released (the score), though its quite unlikely (which sucks, Its better than Rosenmans IMHO)same thing with David Cain's The Hobbit.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had a panic attack and tossed the score entirely in favour of some Wendy Carlos synths.

crocodile 9,348 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 3 stars seems to be about what I expected. No one seems really blown away by itMaybe I'll check it out on SpotifyIt's a contemporary-styled thriller music. Competent and solid. And contains probably the best impression of Russian choir I've ever heard.Karol
crocodile 9,348 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 No, not at all. It was Basil from start to finish. There is a certain sound to it that eludes most writers. Doyle's choir is much closer to what it actually sounds like.Although, "Russian choir" term is quite misleading. It's more about "orthodox Church" sound, really.It might sounds like a bit of nitpicking, but most choirs like this in films don't quite catch the spirit.Karol

Now listening to King Kong, in memory of John Barry who passed away 3 years ago yesterday. It's the favourite work of his I've got. There's something about this incarnation of Kong that makes it unique - quite typical for Barry in many ways, but, on the other hand quite innovating for the genre itself. It's not your typical monster music, but still somehow manages to convey that foggy and mysterious atmosphere. And the percussion/choir tracks are fun as well.Karol
