DreamTheater 131 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I listened to Michael Collins only a few days ago. Wonderful... The man crafts the most exquisite finale cues in many of his scores.I'd love to hear a new Goldenthal score, his voice is sorely missed these days.

Jay 37,352 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Alan Silvestri - The AbyssI listened to the bonus tracks only. I LOVE the way Silvestri integrated the love theme into all the action cues originally. I can't believe we might have never known this if not for the great Varese CD. Great stuff here.Michael Kamen - Die Hard With A Vengeance (La-La Land)Like The Abyss, this is a score where a lot of the best material lies in the bonus tracks area, and not the main program.... and a custom playlist that integrates the two in a different way would be idea... but I haven't made one yet. Someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni 306 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Interstellar. Again (like Gravity) this is a score that worked perfectly in the film, but isn't much fun to listen to. Lots of repetitive, sonic blurring without much in the way of "musical" direction. Yet it did bring the entire feel of the movie back to me, which wasn't a bad thing at all.

Datameister 2,042 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Last night I listened to the Legacy Collection release of The Little Mermaid. Wonderful release on the whole - the much-needed remastering was very tasteful and it's great to have the unreleased material. Currently listening to Intrada's complete The Last Starfighter for the first time. Fun stuff! I always enjoy finally listening to a score that greatly expands on thematic material I'm already familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,516 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Both fine scores, but...I think that "The River" just pips "TOD" to the post. For me, there just seems to be more "heart".

crocodile 8,006 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Jaws: The Revenge is actually a pretty interesting re-imagining of Williams' material. More of a Alexander Courage, rather than Ken Thorne (if that makes sense). The shark ostinato gets an even more ominous treatment in some portions.

publicist 4,643 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 THE REINCARNATION OF PETER PROUD - Jerry GoldsmithSadly only available on suspicious-sounding fifth-generation tapes and, obviously, in J. Lee Thompson's shoddy wannabe thriller, Goldsmith's strange 1975 score is a keeper. A combination of a lilting, otherwordly five-note theme that is madly flexible (oh the impossible dream of such a cunning creation in the upcoming Fincher remake), weird chirpy synths that give you a clue what Goldsmith would have done with this assignment in the 2010's with all the gadgetry in i. e. Zimmer's Santa Monica studios at his disposal and the occasional anguished, brute piano attack, PETER PROUD is actually very much ahead of it's time.Due to the obscure nature of the movie - now only made somewhat relevant by David Fincher revealing in an interview that this movie was so bad when he saw it at the cinema, that even as a toddler he thought 'i could have done better than this' - the score never much registered. Listen to it with open ears today and you will find the whole JNH/Shymalayan musical pallet, the impressionistic swabs of piano/woodwinds,the slightly off-kilter, dreamy almost waltz-like atmosphere and the growing sense of things going awry - this was not standard stuff for 1975, save maybe for Herrmann's OBSESSION that of course is usurped by an entirely different idiom. The masterful combination of instrumental groups throughout, strings/synth/flutes/piano, is testament to Goldsmith's unique abilities to get most out of limited ensembles, probably schooled by his years in live tv that served him greatly even on huge movies with huge scores (that nowadays tend to be a wall of sound).At least once a year i return to it and still am not able to pinpoint what this score actually is. Which makes it all the more compelling. Hlao-roo and Sharkissimo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 CINDERELLA - DOYLEOK, there's some delightful cues here and there but mostly this score goes in the one ear and out the other.Somebody said this was a return to Doyle's roots. Well not exactly, I miss his voice from the earlier days.I'll give it another listen someday.CASPER - HORNERNow this is the kind of Horner that puts magic, beauty, excitement, and fun most of all in the foreground. The album is all kinds of loveliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,136 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 John Barry's King KongToken Barry with sweeping strings and signature brass. Never have to look hard for a solid memorable theme. Also can't get enough of those organ moments, and love the added touches in orchestration to match on-screen action (e.g. the waterfall scene) Sharkissimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
