Nick1Ø66 4,722 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I revisited Legends of the Fall, a personal favourite, yesterday and coincidentally enough today I see there's an article in DenofGeek listing Horner's 25 best scores and LOTF is #1. I'm not sure I'd put Legends as #1, but it's definitely up there for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 On my four day cross-country road trip: Batman (1989) OST Batman Returns OST Titanic OST Back to Titanic E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial OST Star Wars Trilogy: The Original Soundtrack Anthology Star Trek: First Contact OST (and even the) Back to the Future OST Most of those over and over again. I didn't have easy access to my score collection, which was buried in the back of my truck, so I stuck with these "beater" copies that are usually always in my truck, or used to be. But rest assured, I brought everything back to L.A. with me this time, including my autographed Superman box set.

I really never got into listening to film scores in the car, it's more of a headphone experience for me. It's tough because I drove with the window down most of the trip since it was hot and I have no AC. The Anthology is loud, so there's no issue hearing the softer parts, but the Horners and old Williams OSTs have ridiculous dynamic range, so I had to constantly turn the volume up and down. Goldsmith and Elfman are somewhere in between. The guys in New Mexico that inspected me to make sure I was an American citizen got a kick out of hearing "Batman Vs. The Circus" cranking. I regret not digging out Pee-Wee's Big Adventure from the Elfman/Burton set for when I stopped at the Cabazon Dinosaurs. Nick1Ø66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Inferno by Hans Zimmer What a mess. It's basically a generic EDM/dubstep/grunge remix of A&D/DvC material with a new half-assed piano ditty thrown in there. The beautiful "Science and Religion" theme takes the centre stage in this score, but in lazy variations and in-verbatim quotes ("Beauty Awakens the Soul to Act"). Clearly this project did not inspire Zimmer like both its predecessors did. I read somewhere that this one was a rush job, and it really shows. He seems to have to passed this on to lesser collaborators this time around (instead of Balfe/Zanelli, we apparently have Mazzaro/Kawcynszki), and what you get are half-assed synth variations (seems like they didn't have time to do much with an orchestra) of previous material, with nothing pointing to the sense of invention that Angels and Demons got. Motifs just get tossed around for temporary mood-setters, as if they're just a series of MIDI patches. There are some occasional moments of colour though, but they're ultimately lost in an album that long overstays its welcome. "The Cistern" (where "Science and Religion" gets turned into typical modern Zimmer action cue) and "Elizabeth" are probably the only cues worth keeping for interest. By the time you get to the expected Chevelairs reprisal at the end ("Life Must Have It's Mysteries"), it sounds like a freaking masterpiece and you thank the Gods for a merciful ending to a largely dull/painful experience. The reprisal itself isn't very special, and the scratchy soloists recorded atop it don't help either, but it does serve as a nice reminder of the kind of music this franchise used to offer. I think I'm going to wash my ears of this crap by revisiting the other scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
