Jay 37,359 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 David Arnold - Tomorrow Never Dies (complete) Ah, a huge favorite of mine for, well, almost forever (it was one of the first film scores I bought). I love it and just cannot wait for a proper definitive release from Neil Joe Kraemer - Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (fan edit) Felt like the right score to listen to next. Another modern day spy score full of throwbacks to 60s spy scoring. This was a not complete, but longer than the OST album fan edit that was pretty good. The OST album is very well assembled, but there's some cool stuff that wasn't on there. I wonder if we'll ever get an expanded release of this?

Jay 37,359 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Danny Elfman - Mission: Impossible (OST) For some reason listening to Kraemer's MI5 score often makes me want to listen to Elfman's score next. I accidentally clicked the OST album instead of the complete album because it's first in the LLL set when it's usually the other way around in most expansions lol. By the time I realized it I didn't bother to change. Such a great score. I missed the cool moments that are in the complete but not the OST album though, like the big MI theme arrangement for the arrival at Langley. David Arnold - The World Is Not Enough (Complete) One of my favorite expanded albums of all time. I played this an unhealthy amount when it first came out. It was nice to return to again after a long time away - it's as great as ever! I may possibly like this score more than Tomorrow Never Dies at this point. Maybe a proper expansion of TND will flip me back around the other way? Tom Guernsey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,012 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Always by John Williams. My first ever listen to the score (outside of the two cues appearing on some old compilation).

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 A really nice score, certainly the best of the franchise so far. It's truly epic and massive which fits perfectly to this big radioactive fire spitting lizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt that City Slickers was more of a warmup for City Slickers II which I think is a more accomplished effort. Both a great, but the sequel expands on the best parts of the original and turns it into a western score strong enough to be considered alongside the best in the genre. The opening titles track, in particular, is utterly brilliant. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Shaiman is an underrated composer. Definitely, he wrote plenty of great scores and a number of pretty great musicals too. If you like City Slickers, I'd definitely recommend the score to the sequel. Using any excuse for a humble brag, I got an email from Marc Shaiman when I used to run my soundtrack review site thanking me for my glowing, 5 star review of City Slickers II, an assessment I stand by. Indeed, I'd perhaps go so far as to say it remains his best score to date. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand by my comments, however. :-P The Three Musketeers (Bruce Broughton) - Broughton's score is fun, but the songs based on famous classical works are pretty cheesy (don't get me wrong, I love both classical music and cheese) although the interjections from (I think) classic Korngold and Steiner scores are quite fun. One of those cases where the composer did what he was asked, but a proper swashbuckling Three Musketeers would be pretty great. Alas this is probably about as close as we're likely to get.

Tom Guernsey 2,284 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Flesh + Blood (Basil Poledouris) - In my haste to jump straight to Starship Troopers, I think I forget how great this score is. When it comes down to his sword and sorcery efforts, I think it possibly ranks above Conan for me. Its less sophisticated than Conan and has less variety but I find it utterly thrilling and the action music is some of his best. Whatever your views on the music, the performance by the LSO is sensational. A shame there wasn’t the budget for a top rate orchestra on Conan really. Even though the re-recording is pretty great, there are few that can match the power and resonance of the LSO brass. Next up, Wind. As the other half has pointed out… it’s been a Poledouris week.

Hope you enjoyed Flesh + Blood as much as I did! Will have to give WW84 another spin... the first few tracks are especially great but I did kinda lose interest later on as it got a bit more actiony and less fun, but still a surprisingly decent effort. Currently on Powder - perhaps surprisingly for Jerry, the score never quite lives up to the promise of it's memorable main theme (which I always thought sounded a bit like an upbeat version of the theme from The Edge). Nice enough, but not his most consistently engaging effort. On the flip side, loved revisiting the original Small Soldiers album, which is one of those occasions where the original programme and editing make a nice companion to the expanded release. He always had such fun with Dante movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being too unkind but I can’t think of one where it doesn’t sound like someone else. Although often it works like gangbusters. His score for Predators obviously heavily leans on Alan Silvestri but is terrific for all that. As an aside, I always find it weird that James Horner borrowed so much but yet always seemed to sound like James Horner. I don’t really know how he did it… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
