Jurassic Shark 12,067 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Yup, it's a bootleg. That barcode belongs to the slightly expanded 12 track version. Is the boot without dialogue on the additional tracks? bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Pemberton's new score for a Netflix doc about the history and current standing of the Paralympic Games (grown to become the world's third largest sporting event). Rock minimalism of the Zimmer/Vangelis school, expertly done but also a bit thin on nutritional value. Still, good to see Pemberton being in steady employ and for what it's worth, writing recognizable stuff, even if it's no more deep than a sports commercial.

Holko 9,525 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 D4 - Sergio Leone III I'll just do tracklists, it'll be simpler. I couldn't find any release like this - all I know is it wasn't always the most pleasant experience with stereo headphones. Good music though, lots of highlights, if not as narratively satisfying as GBU (but that's a high bar). Divorced from the film, it can never reach the high point of the incredible Harmonica reveal anyway, but Death Rattle/Farewell to Cheyenne doesn't feel like a natural way to end it. Switch them with Man with a Harmonica! Finale does feel finale-like at least. Not sure the Dulce Pontes song version bonus track is really necessary.

Jurassic Shark 12,067 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 The GDM release with its 27 tracks is the most complete to date, as far as I know. As with the expanded releases of GBU, it's a mixture of stereo and mono. https://open.spotify.com/album/359LpQPT3h2ojch2DGw73W?si=s7QAP26EQVaINHj5XoOhGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,525 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I have no problems with mono, only with wildly unbalanced stereo where one side has all the low end, the other is a cavernous hall and the middle almost phases badly. Or prominent instruments are mixed hard to one side. It may have been fine for the LP setups of the time, but come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how I listened some of things I did for so long, like the Special Edition Star Wars trilogy. Later, upon giving a shit about sound quality, I was horrified by what I was enjoying.

Edmilson 7,436 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Wyatt Earp - JNH Wonderful themes, and a great mix of traditional Elmer Bernstein western scoring with JNH's own style.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 The Rocketeer OST Not the expanded remastered terribly mixed version optimized by nutjobs for cranking with the windows down while stuck in traffic on the LA freeway surrounded by a bunch of Impalas with twenty inch blades bumping rap music. The original accept-so-substitutes Horner-approved OST album of perfection. blondheim and Bespin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,525 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Disc 5 Well, I'm not saying it's not good music, at all... just maybe a tad too much of it for what it is. The not always very memorable rags do little to distract from all the very samey main theme statements. I think next time I may get a hankering for it, that Suite might just suffice perfectly.

Holko 9,525 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Leone's done, Disc 6. The main takeaway from Sacce&Vanzetti is Here's to you and Speranze di liberta', but I very much liked La Classe operaia va in paradiso. I wouldn't know how to describe it exactly, but somehow it felt more focused and single-minded than repetitive, and maybe it telegraphed that better from the beginning than OUATIA? Indagine's a nice little extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Tenet by Ludwig Göransson Thor was right. Even on album, this is second-rate Zimmer (right down to the neo-baroque bass lines and everything), with a handful of decent production ideas and none of the Z-man's flair and instincts for drama. The first track is all you'll need. But a better idea would probably be to play Inception instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 You know, Zimmer's typical affinity for riffing off of Bach/Mozart-esque chord progressions to evoke drama. One of the major themes is essentially one such progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about his modern style begun in TRL, where he writes four chord patterns repeated slowly over twelve bars? Baroque bass lines can be contrapuntual or ground.

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Tenet by Ludwig Göransson Pass, thanks! There are brief hints at a *potentially* more keeping score in here, but the laborious runtime of the album and the difficulty of the material hinder any of those passing moments from permeating the resounding sense of 'meh' I get out of this. Nonetheless, I admire what Göransson brings to the industry, and look no less forward to his future endeavors. The Mummy by Jerry Goldsmith Absolute A! It has been a good long while since I visited this smasher of an adventure score, so leave it to the guys at Art of the Score to rekindle the flame. I took more notice of the atmosphere Goldsmith creates this time around, and hotcha hotcha, is that love theme ever gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondheim 1,157 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 What a great album too.
