Romão 2,274 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I've got only the OST album for Congo. Is the Intrada album a worthy upgrade? Or more of a The Sum of All Fears type of redundancy?KarolI'm on the fence between buying the expanded edition or the regular OST cd. I might go for the OST, is so much cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 452 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Alien 3 - Elliot GoldenthalIt's a challenging listen, with some sublime moments of beauty amid the atonality. Goldenthal is channeling Goldsmith, minus the conch, but with a more desperate and introspective flair. "Candles in the Wind" is both beautiful and terrifying in equal measure, while "Adagio" closes out the album with an air of hope glimmering on the horizon.

After putting it on all i can ask: was this man seriously fucked by Oscar recognition? Apart from the pop trifles, every suspense and action cue is like a textbook example of how to write them, the orchestration is wickedly economical and still accomplishes more than all of Brian Tyler's gewalt scores played by 200 musicians together. Thank god the Yamaha synthesizers were still 5 years ahead by this point. Incanus and Sharkissimo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,192 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 It has a somewhat cliched 2001: ASO ending, but other than that, it's mostly really good. And the much hated (scene and score) slow motion disaster sequence is fantastic. And of course it looks fantastic. It's De Palma. I'm still hoping it gets a Blu-ray release someday.

Jay 37,346 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Howard Shore - The Desolation of SmaugWell, I tried to. After a few tracks I had to switch to something else - I guess I'm still all "The Hobbit"ed out, need a break from these scores before returning. I guess this is why I've made no progress on the themes list, or the complete cue lists for all 3 scores.Marco Beltrami - Seventh SonJust the 18 minutes off music up on his official (?) site. Good stuff!Alan Silvestri - PredatorHadn't listened to this in a few years. Fun stuff. My recent love of Predator 2 has luckily not lessened my love of it at all. It is still fairly sparse and "small" compared to P2, but it's still great. It's funny, I never really listened to this until long after I was in love with the BTTF scores, and it's kind of a shame how much of the iconic BTTF music has its roots in this score. Luckily he never really repeated himself much after that, at least in the scores of his I've heard.Michael Giacchino - Star TrekWow, I hadn't listened to the middle of this score in a very very long time! Usually I listen to the start up through Chutes and Matter, or I've Fallen and I Can't Beam up or so, before jumping forward to listen to Trekking Down The Narada to the end. That Frozen Dinner cue is fun stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 JACK WALL - Mass Effect 2Another video game score i have infinite fun with. Spherical piano and guitar effects make this an amusing addition for the brotherhood of 1980's futuristic synthesizer scores, albeit better performed/recorded. Too bloody long as usual but in smaller doses it's ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical Pub.I agree- I think this score sounds very spherical.- I'm sorry, but to me it sounds more cubical, because the afferent sensory quality of the music is inherent to its subsequent tangibility, if you know what I mean.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Listened to all of the Star Wars end title suites in a row. Empire is the best. The Phantom Menace is probably the weakest as it's basically the two concert suites played back to back without any interesting segue. Revenge of the Sith's suite would be great if it weren't for the tacked on 20 minute arrangement of "The Throne Room" at the end. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
