Incanus 5,715 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Rise of the Guardians is a very good score from Desplat but as publicist says it does have the trouble of sounding like other composers in places. I think the 67 minutes of the material is also all you need from the score as the FYC 53 track version drags because of the short repetetive cues and it is only 14 minutes longer than the OST anyway. Desplat has done a good job building the album here. publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Any comments, Mr. Olivarez?Karol - still waiting for the deliveryExcellent, while there is music carried over from Die Hard, it's still a brand new score. I hated that the original DH 2 album left off the fight on the wing. There's a lot of unused music for that sequence. I wonder if Kamen scored a longer version or the scene wasn't finished and he scored a blank screen. I haven't read the liner notes yet.But it sounds great. Now someone bring on DH 3. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Got to keep everything organized, man. It's convenient not to have to go through the grid of albums, have albums reorganized into chronological order and eliminate source tracks, alternates and other tracks I don't want to listen to.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Whatever floats your boat. I type in a keyword of whatever I want to listen to and it pops up. I don't reorganize anything unless it's one of my comprehensive playlists, where I'll have all works by an artist listed chronologically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Too general for me. I've got over 200 albums of JW music and typically I don't just put on any one of those albums, I need to make adjustments, rearrange and delete certain tracks and bundle scores from various sources, like E.T. I keep albums, recording sessions and other bootlegs separate and like I said, I usually don't listen through any of those. I'll occasionally do the remaster or album of E.T., but I usually want the complete version comprised of various sources. That's where these wonderful playlists come in handy.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 For me it's either the album or the complete score. I don't like inbetweeners and like 6 different versions of one thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Since moving to a perfect slice of suburbia in southern California, I am constantly reminded of the Amazing Stories end credits. Being among my favorite anyway, I've been playing those scores a LOT lately. I dig the McNeely recording of The Mission despite having the original versions. In fact, I feel the brass is much stronger at points in his. A prime example is the end titles. On Williams' original, the piano is more prominent, on McNeely's, it's the brass. They both sound great. Those 30 seconds just define why I love John Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
