#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 If it had gotten a 40 minute OST at the time of the film's release, the eventual complete release in the 2000s would have been easier to swallow. Kind of like The GooniesOr The Hobbit scores.Sometimes Thor is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,000 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I never had problems with The Hobbit scores. If they released albums like this for The Lord of the Rings like this, I would agree. But after so many years, discussion, book... you just kind of know how to listen to those. The way they're constructed, I mean. We're trained now!Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,340 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thor's viewpoint is that no score that got an OST should EVER get an expanded release. I just can't agree with that ever!I do agree that the composer should be allowed to make his own selection of highlight's at hte time of the film's release for an OST presentation. Too bad Predator, Die Hard, and The Goonies never got that, and we went right from nothing into really long releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,340 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 No. I firmly believe EVERY film score should get a COMPLETE release.I just ALSO think every film score should get a composer-selected OST release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 City Hall by Jerry Goldsmith: What a great little gem of a score this is. I have been listening to this noirish bluesy timpani laden dramatic score on and off for weeks. There is something very urbane Americana about it that I find so appealing. Perhaps it is the shades of Leonard Bernstein's classic On the Waterfront that are partly to blame. Marian Schedenig and crocodile 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad Predator, Die Hard, and The Goonies never got that, and we went right from nothing into really long releasesI do like to have a choice and many scores don't work that great on long releases, unless you're interested in analysing them in detail or something like that.Thor likes "listening experienced arranged by composer" which often does in fact offer the best version.But... there are a lot of original albums where the original composer WAS NOT happy with. Either due to content, listening experience or mastering.What then?Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 What the hell? Doesn't anyone check Soundtrack Collector anymore? The Goonies got a song album in 1985, SE 40067, nine songs including the Cyndi Lauper, plus the Grusin theme. SEA 40067 had ten score tracks plus the Cyndi Lauper. A Japanese album in 1998 had a lot of score plus the songs and dialogue. The Varese album is like the twentieth album on the list, though the in between releases are just repackaging of earlier material. So I don't appreciate the attitude, misters smarty pants. Don't act like nothing existed before 2010 because I listened to it for ten years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ONLY Goonies score music released before the Varese Deluxe Edition was the ONE track on the song collection OST. Again, all those other CDs are total bootlegs.

Incanus 5,714 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 It is a really great score. Here the terse and commanding rhythms of Capricorn One style for militaristic opression meet Jerry's more melodic soaring writing for the freedom of flight to wonderful results and he even throws in a lovely accordion led family theme for some local colour. A blind buy purely on the recommendation of several reviews and good word from folks around here and I wasn't disappointed. Classic Goldsmith in my book.

Jay 37,340 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Well I've been doing just that - been putting more music on my laptop lately to listen to at work. To that end....David Newman - TarzanWow! A modern score that sounds like the great orchestral scores of the 90s? Awesome! I need to listen to this again to find more to say about it, but I enjoyed what I heard a lot!Ed Shearmur - Sky Captain and the World of TomorrowAnother fun orchestral, super bombastic score. Maybe a bit too bombastic? Need to listen to this more, and maybe not at work. If there was a catchy theme, it didn't stick out to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
