Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I placed my order with SAE but earlier I did the checkout process on their site and the totals were off too. It said 16 euros for the CD and 8 euros for shipping, but on the order confirmation page it said the total was 21 euros and some change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come km and nemesis pay less than the others?Belgium's partly a French-speaking country as well, yet I still get 23,5 euros.Probably will get this from SAE instead.

ChrisAfonso 186 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Same for me.

Thor 7,463 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 The film is crappy, but the score is really good. Love both the jazzy parts and the dramatic bits that sound like leftovers from INDIANA JONES (like "Gimbel's Robbery"). It also contains one of the rare instances where Williams copies himself -- the main song from this film, "Make Me Rainbows", basically being reworked as "In the Moonlight" from SABRINA.

Miguel Andrade 1,260 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Honestly, I don't think Williams would do it like this.Though he did parodied himself in both 1941 and E.T., just to name two scores in top of my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We often forget how many years separate some of these works because it is to us one big discography all available to us now. We can say these things as a hindsight but give very little thought to their creation and how much time has passed between these compositions and how the composer has changed on one hand and stayed the same on another. I doubt very much Williams was consciously trying to riff Make Me Rainbows in Sabrina's In the Moonlight at all. It is just the style of how he thinks and writes songs what you hear, certain preferences and turns of phrase that are common in both songs. But I doubt that he consciously dusted his Make Me Rainbows sheet music and began to revamp it for Sabrina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,475 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 @Miguel Andrade@IncanusBy reading to you, we would believe that John William is an old moron. I think he's very conscious when he reuses one of his old melodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
