crocodile 8,006 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Sounds really good. Inspired even, given that it's a Tim Burton film. A buy!Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,352 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 There are now long samples of every single track on the WaterTower websitehttp://www.watertower-music.com/releases_spotlight.php?search=WTM39283 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,495 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'm not into traditional horror scores, so it doesn't seem like my cuppa tea from the samples. But as an Elfman completist, I need to buy it whether I like it or not. So I'll postpone final evaluation untill I've heard the whole thing.

Incanus 5,714 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Sounds quite different from normal Burton/Elfman score. No lalala children's choirs, wacky melodies, strange orchestrations. Rather dark and eerie and atmospheric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather dark and eerie and atmospheric.I don't know about that. Listening to the sample of track 5 is kind of weird ish... actually reminds of of the electronic presence in CHARLIE and the CHOCOLATE FACTORY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not very much. It has Elfman's trademarks and modern stylings all over it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I cannot get these samples to play for me. I have been trying for days. I've updated everything that could be restricting me from hearing it and no luck. Anyone else having this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I couldn't find any full thread for this so I decided to make this. Movies looks awful but the music might be good. Some of the samples sound like the Adventures of Tintin theme (specifically "The End?". Michael Giacchino also drew inspiration from Tintin in the John Carter score.

QMM 4 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Michael Giacchino also drew inspiration from Tintin in the John Carter score.Don't know how that happened since Giacchino recorded Carter in September and October of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Maybe Angela Morley worked on John Carter before she wrote Tintin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,495 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 As a Burton fan, I think the film looks fantastic! Then again, I have zero connection to the original show (I only know it by name, I've never seen an episode).But from the sound clips, I'm more skeptical about the score. Too much traditional horror stuff. Maybe it'll give a slightly different impression when I get the CD (because I need to get it whether I like it or not, being an Elfman completist).

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Of course, is there any way Gia could have heard Tintin at that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,352 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Of course there is. Hell I had the sheet music in 2010Not that I think Gia ripped it off from Tintin at all, I think its just a big coincidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Wasn't there an interview where he said he loved Tintin and wanted to homage it? Or something like that, I can't recall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,006 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCWbQ3BVHQsHey, it sounds quite good! Very much like The Wolfman, which is among my favourite Elfmans.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,495 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 How was the score?KarolIt was excellent in the movie (a mix of his Kilar style in WOLF MAN, some 70's grooves and some weird, wailing-like flute/theremin sounds). Unfortunately, the sound effects were so loud that it was often swallowed up. But there were some pretty nifty ostinati in there, for example.I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy it alone (a bit too big and horrorey at times), but it fit the movie like a T.The film, incidentally, is his best since CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. Classic Burton all the way, harkening back to the days of BEETLEJUICE. Depp is wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Well the longer clip sounded much better than the rather poorly chosen clips on the label's site. I will definitely want to listen to the whole album now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
