Jay 37,351 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Danny Elfman - Alice In Wonderland (OST) Well, I've never loved this one, but never hated it either; It's always been just kinda there as a score with an all-time-great theme, but with not very memorable underscore between the theme statements. It's a score I rarely revisit, but I hear the theme track often on some compilation playlists I have Danny Elfman - Alice Through The Looking Glass WOW! Unlike the original, I instantly connected to this score. The fantastic main theme goes through tons of great new variations, far more than it ever got in the first score. Lots of good choral work, some silly music, action music, sub themes; This is one of the best Elfman scores in a while! Already on my second listen now on Spotify, and I ordered the physical CD yesterday after my first listen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (expanded chronological edit) What a wonderful score this remains, even after decades of listening to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The long Jarre-esque father and son bonding theme in that score is terribly underrated here I think. It has crazy good extended melodic development, lush orchestration in the typical golden era love theme Williams style, and it imbues a real sense of affection into the film, making it unique in that its inclusion results in the Last Crusade easily being the warmest feeling entry in the trilogy. As themes go it is classic Williams IMO. 29 minutes ago, crocodile said: It has several shorter motifs, no long-lined melodies. Karol I'm going to sample some tracks later.

Williams more or less perfectly captured the femme fatale of the film noir tradition with that theme. The concert version is even better than the versions found in the film but alas there is no official recording of it on disc. One would think that some orchestra like City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra would have at least recorded the concert suite with Adventures of the Mutt (The Swashbuckler),Call of the Crystal, A Whirl Through the Academe, Marion's Theme and Irina's Theme.

KK 3,307 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Nice review Karol. Rogue & Rabbit features the flashes of Adams-esque writing you occasionally get from Elfman's smaller film scores, but blown up at full-scale. It's delightful. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels in America by Thomas Newman: All that is wonderful and tremendous about the composer is here in this impressive package. Beautiful.
