Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 The Ligeti piece is not microtonal, if that's what you mean. Where do you hear that crop up in the score? Stored Memories (the "alternate"), right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Does anyone know why we get not one, but two, versions of "For Always"? I don't mind the song, but geez... It didn't even feature in the film.The recording for this score is complete and utter crap! What in the name of Zeus' butt-hole was Shawn Murphy doing, that week? Was he drunk? Was he asleep?The 5.1 version improves it a little, but not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,326 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 The sound of (any) recording is important to the atmosphere of the music or the album. If my feelings, my perception of A.I. is rubbish to you, then that's your prerogative, just like it's mine to value it.

If it's only the amount of bass that you have a problem with, then it's not that big of an issue, since it's only apparent on bass drum and double basses. Most Murphy recordings tend to have that extra oomph in the bottom end. It's part of his sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus 390 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Personally, I think "A.I." is one of Williams' very finest efforts, and it remains one of my favorite scores of all time, and contains passages that I find to be some of the most moving in Williams' entire ouvre.The film certainly has its problematic parts, and it isn't always a perfect drama, but it's still a phenomenal (and phenomenally well crafted) piece of cinema.

Jay 37,287 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Well, let's be honest. The scores of John Williams that get discussed the most are his big blockbustery franchise scores. Star Wars 1-6, Indiana Jones 1-4, Harry Potter 1-3, Jurassic Park 1-2, Jaws 1-2, Home Alone 1-2, Superman, etc. His scores to one-off films like this will never generate as much discussion as those.
