Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I've never cared about how "good" someone's voice is. In fact I tend to dislike more professionally trained voices actually. I like singers with character and unique qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Indeed. In my write-up on Dylan that I posted a long time ago, I talked about how covers of his songs rarely ever sound good, because the emotion he puts into it are what make the songs great. They're his lyrics, his experiences, it only sounds right coming from his voice. I also just simply never understood the criticism that his voice is awful. People love Axl Rose but not Dylan?

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Coincidentally, "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" was originally written/recorded for Dylan's soundtrack for Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid so it was sort of film score related!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 452 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Stargate Atlantis - Joel Goldsmith I prefer this over Stargate SG-1, mainly because he was given a wider palette to work with -- rather than using David Arnold's themes. Another niggling bit is that they only secured an orchestra for the pilot (rather than the whole series), because Joel's work on the series deserves a LLL-style release. Even so, the OOP disc is a nice representation of the series. The Seattle-based recording is clear and vibrant, and I never get tired of hearing that title theme. "The Rising" is probably one of Joel's finest cues to date. Unlucky Bastard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I like to combine the Elfman score and the Prince album. I think most people probably opt for one or the other, but they do work well together. The melody from "Scandalous" is featured in the score and whether it was intentional or a happy accident, it kinda sounds like it was based on Elfman's Batman theme!

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Oh, I forgot to mention. I went on the new version of Soarin' at Disney's California Adventure. You'll all remember that the original version, Soarin' Over California featured a score by our dearly departed Jerry Goldsmith. Boy, was it fantastic. Like "The Trees" from Medicine Man crossed with the Star Trek: Voyager theme. Just awesome. It opened with the park in 2001 and I'm sure it was almost universally considered the best thing it had going for it. I've been saying for 15 years that the single best decision they made with that place was hiring Goldsmith to do music. Jerry scored so many awful films (and what many consider to be all the worst Star Treks!), so it was only fitting that he compose a score for what was truly the worst Disney theme park ever when it opened. But the ride was pretty nifty and Goldsmith's music certainly elevated it. The photography of California scenery was mostly very good (there was a scene in Yosemite that always made me think of the opening credits from Star Trek V). It became massively popular when they opened it at lowercase Epcot a couple years later. Goldsmith delivered a score that Disney fans would instantly recognize. A lot of people have scored Disneyland, but for my money, nobody nailed it like Goldsmith in the closing seconds of the film, where you fly over the park with Tinkerbell and into a fireworks show. Gosh. I wish they still had that version! So, yeah. The new one. Bruce Broughton did the music and he does feature Goldsmith's stuff. But, man. It has none of the raw power of Goldsmith's. It's really very boring. It's like Broughton sucked all the energy out of it. Maybe he just wasn't up to the task. I mean, you could have at least done Goldsmith some justice. There aren't even any singular moments in his score that do it for me. I mean, I kinda hated it, including the film. You can watch and listen on YouTube if you're so inclined. I'll also add that they dumped Jerry's pre-ride music and now it's just silent and awkward before take-off. What a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Torn Curtain' might not be the most well-known of Herrmann's Hitchcock's (for obvious reasons) but for every film composer learning the ropes it's a textbook example how to write effectively for film.

His albums Sail Away and Good Old Boys are full on masterpieces. Great albums, but my favourites are: bad_love The good thing about Newman is that even if you don't like his voice, there are still plenty of opportunities to hear his songs. He must be one of the most covered songwriteres. 4 hours ago, Jay said: If you mean on a physical disc then no, not that I'm aware of.

I just bought the extended version. Their website sucks, my Firefox blocked their JavaScripts in HTTPS mode for security reasons so I had to switch to plain HTTP before the album would be added to my cart. Then their download email (they only give you the download link in an email you get after purchasing) wouldn't show the actual download link in my mail program, so I had to click the link which shows the mail content in a browser. Also, the mail contained a broken link to the album page (and by broken, I mean that there was an "admin/" bit between the protocol and the host name...) But if you navigate around those problems, you get a Zip archive with fifty-one 320kbit 44.1kHz MP3. Edit: Awesome, Casino Calavera is extended to twice its original length with a trombone solo!
