Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 there is something too processed about all that goes above 'piano'I think I agree, but could you elaborate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I think that has to do with the organ actually. Many recordings of orchestral pieces with an organ part have a certain "sheen" to the sound particularly at higher dynamics, which can seem a bit processed. I think it depends on the character of the organ and the space it's in, and how that blends with a loud orchestra. English organs in particular lend themselves to it. It's peculiar.Check out this one featuring the monstrous organ and space of Liverpool Cathedral. It has the same thing going on, that is, if we're talking about the same thing.

publicist 4,643 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Maybe, but i have that problem frequently with loud Zimmer. It seems all smeared up with artificial enhancements that often seem not 'related' to each other, as if different departments cooked up sections that then were laid on top of each other. If you listen on headphones, some of the stuff like parts of 'Coward' or the end of 'Detach' are deafening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Well, I suppose that's what you get when you put together largely symphonic music with studio sensibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I finally saw this on Blu. I think Z. Hammer's music works just fine in this movie, like in most of the films he's scored. Minimalism rules. Of course totally unlistenable outside of the movie. Like in gravity it's more like a sound effect not music as I understand the music.

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Well, I suppose that's what you get when you put together largely symphonic music with studio sensibilities.I guess, but Elliot Goldenthal's (the true pioneer of this sort of approach) scores never really had that 'deafening sheen' to them. Neither do the scores of many other 'hybrid' composers. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh. It's just the Illuminated Star Projection Edition, with "No Time For Caution" moved to a different spot, and "Day One Dark" added. At least that wasn't available lossless anywhere before, but what a missed opportunity - all the other cues only on the FYC in lossy still eludes us, as does a distortion free version of "Quantifiable Connection" 1 minute ago, Edmilson said: Cool!

Jay 37,421 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 There's only one version of "No Time For Caution", the one Hans wrote and recorded.

Jay 37,421 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 There's nothing wrong with the OST album he put together, but he wrote a ton of music and elected to not put a lot of stuff that are pretty universally accepted as the highlights of what he wrote on it. You'd like this new edition a lot; It's not anything like a specialty label expanded album - disc 1 remains the original OST program, and disc 2 is another "tone poem" style collection of suites and film cues that is not chronological in any sense of the word, and even features less music heard in the film than the OST album does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like Vangelis' BLADE RUNNER 3CD set, then. I would certainly be interested in sampling it. But I think that, for a score of this type (with a minimalist vibe), 72 minutes is about the absolute maximum if I want to have that INTERSTELLAR experience. It needs that amount of time to slowly build, but I wouldn't want any more either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce marshall 1,318 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 THIN RED LINE had a wonderful ost. But, even that stellar release left off some FANTASTIC cues e.g. the I instrumental versions of the Melanesian chants that were major character themes! So, if this is like that score, I'm happy.

Arpy 4,145 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 This half-arsing it strategy is a slimy way to make a quick buck because idiots like me will buy it and so the cycle continues. Oh, and I'm guessing it's streaming and vinyl only. Fuck this bullshit. If they're going to release something digitally without the space constraints of physical media, why can't they put the .5% of effort in to arranging a complete score? You know what else pisses me off? The fact that films with scores I love have to be meticulously restored and transferred from tapes and crafted into a set. Inter-fucking-stellar is sitting in the RCP cloud just waiting to be dragged and dropped into an album. YEARS of my life have passed and will pass and no proper release will be attempted. That's why I don't see this as a joke; it's stealing my time, your time and converting that into money. Edit: apparently it will be coming to CD.
