Bespin 4297 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Hi experts, is the FYC of WALL-E a good option to introduce me to this score? Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Penna 1314 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 From an ebay screenshot, looks like the FYC has a handful fewer tracks than the OST, so probably yes. It's a very fragmented listen. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know what this means. I've known forever I "should" own Fiddler on the Roof, but never got around to it because I don't like musicals and don't expect to listen to it much. I own the FSM Checkmate / Rhythm in Motion, and known for a long time the later CD versions sound better, and always intended to grab them eventually, along with M Squad. Same thing with Jazz Beginnings, I've known forever it "should" be in my collection, and just hadn't gotten around to it yet. These also were collectively the last things I needed to add to my collection that I could find for reasonable prices. I still need Eiger Sanction and Thomas and the King too, but those are expensive. 16 hours ago, Bespin said: Well, that's the goal of this forum. We promote film music... and we lose money. ha!

Bespin 4297 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I really start to appreciate Thomas Newman's style. I just received "Skyfall" today and listened to it. Tradition and modernity. I like! Once 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post superultramegaa 18 Posted January 20 Popular Post Share Posted January 20 I haven't gotten around to Skyfall yet, but I've always loved Finding Nemo, WALL-E, and A Series of Unfortunate Events. There's just so much style and heart in those 3 scores. ASOUE in particular is just brimming with personality, and his music really fits with the tone of the film and the book series.

Absolutely agreed. I adore that score and would love an expansion. There's some nice missing cues in the film and some more things that were recorded, but not used.

KK 2876 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Another nice little Newman interview. Nothing new is discussed, but there is an excerpt of a lovely piano composition he wrote for his mother at the end. https://www.pbs.org/video/becoming-newman-3kszg7/?fbclid=IwAR3t90M__hvWIWp2eayNkIRvnw57Z3-ZJfbpbvq9LKAaGZHiSlaXELlfv-A Link to post Share on other sites

Bespin 4297 Posted Sunday at 08:17 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:17 PM Any thoughts about Less than Zero (1987)? I'm a fan of the soundtrack and the movie since many years, especially because of the haunting closing song of the movie, sung by Roy Orbison (an original song written by Glenn Danzig for the movie), but I don't really recall the score...
