publicist 4,643 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Well, nowadays he who wants to rekindle the old Elfman love is probably better served with Marianelli - sort of. The allusions to Rota are more genuine here (Marianelli is italian, after all) and it's all completely harmless antics but if you like the Powell animation scores and appreciate Marianelli's talent at effortlessly steering his orchestral sections through an hour of light and breezy children's entertainment, this one is a winning late-year entry.

Attack of the Clones has so many moments that feel like perfect Star Wars to me, I'm genuinely surprised that it's not regarded better than it is. In fact, it has that "Star Wars sound" to me in a way far more genuine and intrinsic than the scores it's sandwiched by. It's got such a fresh and vibrant sound, great variety while still having a clear and consistent tone... with this, Minority Report, and Catch Me if You Can, 2002 was an amazing year for Williams. Didn't the Yo Yo Ma album also come out in 2002? Holy crap. Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,511 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 THE RUSSIA HOUSE, by Jerry Goldsmith. Well, this is nothing less than a class act. Sly, humorous, tense, suspenseful, sultry, sexy, and downright gorgeous. It's a quintessential piece of work, by a master craftsman, at the very top of his game. In a funny/sad way, I'm almost glad that he's not here to hear how film modern music is being flushed, constantly, down the shitter. I suspect that he wouldn't have a good word to say about it, and more power to him, for it! Good ole Jerry. I miss this man more, with each passing year.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Great score, but fuck-me-dead the film is so goddamn boring! The scenery is nice, but it has no narrative thrust, everyone mumbles their lines, and... well I may as well use it as an ASMR fix. No doubt it put Jerry to sleep while he was working on it.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Return of the Jedi (SE) - John Williams The score is incredible of course, but man disc 2 really is just a disaster of album editing. "Brother and Sister/Father and Son/The Fleet Enters Hyperspace/Heroic Ewok"? "Into the Trap/Forest Ambush/Scout Walker Scramble/Prime Weapon Fires"? "Leia is Wounded/The Duel Begins/Overtaking the Bunker/The Dark Side Beckons/The Emperor’s Death"? That's stupid and it drives me up the wall.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The parts specifically referenced above during the 45 minute finale on disc 2 are where the 2CD version really loses me.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I always thought the 2-CD version dragged. The Jabba's Palace segment is boring and goes on forever, and the final battle music is as jerky as TPM. Nah the the OST cuts out all that shit and makes for a great listen.

KK 3,307 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Notes on a Scandal by Philip Glass The quintessential Glass score, and my favourite. It's the composer's finest and most effective attempt at film music. It may be familiar to most Glass fans, as most of his works are, but rarely has he exercised the full dramatic potential of his usual constructs with the command that he does here. There are themes, there are motifs and all of them cleverly manipulated and orchestrated with great musical range. The biting personality of the work in itself is vivacious and it makes a great album to boot. The Justice League by Danny Elfman Good grief. That was a slog to sit through. Too much noise, with the decent ideas being too few and far between. Say what you will about MoS and BvS (and I'm no big fan of either of those scores), but to their credit, they had a distinct musical personality of their own. This is just serviceable orchestral noise. Though I can't say I'm really surprised by it. Not Mr. Big and Koray Savas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,051 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 To me the worst part about the ROTJ SE soundtrack release is the foul sound quality of some ques, especially the Here They Come cue (which happens to be a theme lifted from ANH). And how someone managed to vanish the complete recording of the Jabba the Hut theme is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Yeah and it seems to get worse and worse as you progress through the score.
