publicist 4,650 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 A promising first impression. Although I could not have for the life of me (I am of course looking through the rosy coloured JW glasses) spot Williams going all POTC on the track No Man's Land.Spielberg seems to have told the old man that his busy stuff doesn't cut it anymore. Now Williams has learned what Goldsmith had to learn in the late 80's: fix your keys!
Incanus 5,884 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 I am sure we will get our money's worth of bold thematic statements on the album despite there not being a track called War Horse reprising the central idea from the trailer.
Muad'Dib 2,018 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 I insist... It's not Zimmer. It's Poledouris!
nightscape94 968 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 At least, there was no Picking Pockets situation with War Horse... Well, at least for now...I believe there was an original ending to the movie which called for a track named Making Glue to be removed from the OST.
SF1_freeze 138 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 I hope there will be special concert suites coming for the Boston Concerts. It happened for SS, PoA and KotCS. Why shouldnt it happen for Tintin and War Horse too?
King Mark 3,911 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 There’s a brief moment in “No Man’s Land” where Williams goes all PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN on us
Brónach 1,322 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 I gave up on my "not listening" idea.No Man's Land sounds like a Horner cue or something. Pirates of the Caribbean? Really? Great track by the way.
Richard P 5,145 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 There’s a brief moment in “No Man’s Land” where Williams goes all PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN on us Stop panicking - you've already heard it from the radio preview.
hornist 1,242 Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 There are indeed some Zimmerish and also FOTR echoes in the action music of the War Horse.I prefer the Prokofiev/Shostakovits kind of action music in TINTIN. Pure magic!
Luke Skywalker 2,336 Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Matthew Lucas?For one moment i though G. Lucas' son could be redeemed...

eitam 407 Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Another review:http://www.examiner....williams-reviewCan anyone tell this guy that it's "The Adventures of Tintin" ? It's not TinTin, with a capital T in the middle of his name. It's one word. Capital T, small i, small n, small t, small i, small n.And yes, those reviews are turning the wait into agony...
Jonesy 55 Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 No Man's Land sounds like a Horner cue or something.Yes, I agree .Pirates of the Caribbean? Really?Yes, it was my first thought .Great track by the way.And yes, it's a great cue .
King Mark 3,911 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I shall also buy this in a real store with cash money
Jacob 1 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Matthew Lucas?For one moment i though G. Lucas' son could be redeemed...Nah. The only way he could do that is by hurling daddy into a reactor shaft.
The Score Cleaner 9,635 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I prefer the Prokofiev/Shostakovits kind of action music in TINTIN. Pure magic!I find Tintin's action music a bit boring.
Jilal 663 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Can anyone tell this guy that it's "De Avonturen van Kuifje" ? It's not Tintin, the stupid English version. It's Dutch. Capital K, small u, small i, small f, small j, small e.
Luke Skywalker 2,336 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I can see Jason pocking those chopsticks in the eyes of those who dont spell Tintin right...
Luke Skywalker 2,336 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Matthew Lucas?For one moment i though G. Lucas' son could be redeemed...Nah. The only way he could do that is by hurling daddy into a reactor shaft.Saying Noooo NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! along the way.Ironically sweet.
KK 3,310 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I'm really excited for the But it's like that throughout. It's a JOHN WILLIAMS SCORE through and through - every note is just so Williams. But it never sounds like any specific existing score... its so fresh. It's somehow the best of Williams while being fresh at the same time... a remarkable achievement.I am extremely excited for this score and I've already guessed long ago that this would surpass even Tintin. I loved the 3 tracks on WQXR. Based on those tracks, I'm hearing a lot Ralph Vaughan Williams' sound. Not that that's bad or anything, I love his style and I believe this score will pay great homage to the composer. I honestly can't wait for this score!- KK
Josh500 1,620 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Wow, WH at amazon.com is such a bargain! Only $12,99 USD, which translates to 9,40 Euro! Of course, you have to add in the shipping costs, but it's still a fantastic deal! In the EU, no major new album is sold under 16 Euros ($22 USD), I think.http://www.amazon.co...20485455&sr=1-1
crocodile 9,531 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 I would say it's a no-brainer. Let's celebrate the downfall of dollar! Karol
Josh500 1,620 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Wow, WH at amazon.com is such a bargain! Only $12,99 USD, which translates to 9,40 Euro!Btw, that's 8,10 GBP! I would say it's a no-brainer. Let's celebrate the downfall of dollar! KarolWhat do we celebrate? That everything over here is so damn expensive?
Jilal 663 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Add douane and shipping costs to that and it's more expensive than the British version.
Sandor 908 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Add douane and shipping costs to that and it's more expensive than the British version.Hmm? I never had to pay any 'douane' costs on my US ordered CD's and I've got about 60 of them here...
Luke Skywalker 2,336 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Tintin was 8.99 GP in the UK.Warhorse is arround 10.Still cheap.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,927 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Hey those 2 are the same!
Sandor 908 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Hey those 2 are the same!Oh My God! You're right!
Incanus 5,884 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 At JWFan you do not pay a light penalty for a small mistake. The humiliation keeps coming. Keeps you in your place.
Tom 6,456 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I am fairly sure this review has not been previously posted. It is positive, though irritating. http://www.reviewgraveyard.com/00_revs/r2011/music/11-11-21_war-horse.html
Sandor 908 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 This is also a nice review: http://scoretracknew...-trilha-sonora/Use Google translate or something to read it.CAUTION: Contains track titles!
Incanus 5,884 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I am fairly sure this review has not been previously posted. It is positive, though irritating. http://www.reviewgra..._war-horse.htmlYes the reviewer is more interested in telling us that he has lived near where the film was shot and how his wife might have seen Spielberg on his way to the movie set. I do not know if this was his personal reminiscence of how he might be spiritually connected to the War Horse film production or a soundtrack review.This is also a nice review: http://scoretracknew...-trilha-sonora/Use Google translate or something to read it.CAUTION: Contains track titles!A nice and praising (with good cause) Portguese review.
The Score Cleaner 9,635 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 .....That review was wierd from "This score sounds phoned in" to "it's not even in his top ten" to "This is an incredibly beautiful score and is well worth adding to your soundtrack collection."
Incanus 5,884 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Yes the contradiction of those remarks in interesting. It is half-baked score but extremely good is what he is saying, giving it 9/10.
