Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 For the most part, no, I like to hear a track in its entirety, although I often will replay whole tracks on a loop. Every now and then, though, I'll get in the mood to repeat one section of a piece over and over - these three probably get that treatment the most.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 No, the classic original series fight music quote is at 1:58.And actually, compared to the Zimmer cue, I'd call Holst himself Holst-lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 5:52-6:17 That's my favourite bit of the cue. So rousing. The rhythm reminds me of one of those Southern Italian folk dances, like a siciliana or saltarello. 4:04-5:20, 6:53-7:30 Wonderful music.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 To be even more specific with the Signs cue, it's the lower viola line from 7:09 to 7:10 (bars 39-40). Pretty unnoticeable unless you're looking at the score, but fuck. There's just something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drawgoon 100 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 It happens a lot when I put the same cue on repeat over and over. But the only time I recall doing this rewinding thing for a small passage of the same cue was, coincidentally, in How To Train Your Dragon 2. In my case I did it for "Drago's Coming" from 1:45-2:41 and not only did I listen to that passage SO many times during the same session, but I also began to sing along with the choir as I picked up the overall melody!

Not Mr. Big 4,642 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Attack of the ClonesThe transition of the love theme into the end credits.

Arpy 4,145 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 For me it's the buildup in Ode To Harrison in Star Trek Into Darkness. I usually repeat it about 4 times max.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 There's the one part in Godzilla that I love hearing when it's on. On the opening track, Desplat does something really cool with the strings that I'd never heard before at 1:21-1:25. It even appears when his credit in the movie does.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I keep doing this with the first 6 seconds of the Star Wars Main Title.

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 My favourite would be a mix of all three OT titles. Open with Star Wars, Empire's bridge (mainly for the awesome snare synch with the brass) and then Jedi's thunderously powerful reprisal.

curlytoot 97 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I do this. Lately it's been—among other things—this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOD8zPTW2Tw2:30-2:52. Can't get enough of that melody, and how Horner uses the running violin line accompaniment. Another instance is 4:38-4:59. Especially how Horner adds the flute at 4:49. He really was unparalleled in his orchestrations abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I play my iPod through Winamp, then get to my favorite spot in a track and unplug the iPod. It repeats just enough of what I want to hear. Wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonStar 57 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I keep doing it all the time. There are countless tracks with portions I re-listen about a hundred times.

Bayesian 1,364 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm absolutely guilty of this habit and digital files make it so much easier for me to be precise about how far back I scrub in the track for that perfect musical moment. Lately, I've been really enjoying this Avengers track from 0:49 to 1:05, which I equate to the bridge in a pop song. (Someone correct me if I ever get my analogies wrong.)https://youtu.be/8VGJGXMUhmcThe very best part is 0:55-0:56, where Silvestri writes two massive chords that resolve the first massive chord at 0:50-0:51 -- except that maybe it's not resolved, since it sound like there's a delicious key change at that point.I wish I knew more about the way music works so I could explain why this part is just so awesome.

Melange 446 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 This thread reminds me of part of the 1983 movie Brainstorm (one of Horner's gem scores) where a member of research staff gets mischievous with the sensory recording device the film is based around. He lures a female member of staff into them using it during sex ("do it for science" he implores, something I've used to great effect myself) and much later another member of staff, the older shy single man stumbles across the tape and of course has a free sensory ride. Understandably he attempts to isolate his favourite part, the orgasm, and hacks up and loops that section of the tape in the assumption that the 'best bit' again and again on loop is the way to go. Christopher Walken later finds aforementioned man at his home, lying in a recliner, white as a ghost, in a vegetative state, twitching with his eyes rolling back into his head and seemingly screwed up. As it happens, the man later does recover after hospitalisation and tells Walken that he now has a whole new outlook on life and is moving into new work but still the moral of the story is that too much of a good thing, isolated from wider context, is playing a dangerous game.
