#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yeah its a very by-the-numbers Bond score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Both of these score (GOLDFINGER/FRWL) sound more than adequate (timeless, i may say). It's cold business logic to re-record such stuff - fetishist fans create such silly demands - but from a musical AND asthetic standpoint, it's just sad that much more deserving works are not even considered due to their lack of sales caused by the lack of interest by the same people who guzzle up every cash-in only because it is related to a mighty franchise. A score by Farnon or Sainton would be a much more deserving target, if it has to be a brit - Barry got more than enough re-recordings, from RAISE THE TITANIC to ROBIN ANFD MARIAN, LAST VALLEY, MR. MOSES, SOMEWHERE IN TIME and and and... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 But strong selling scores like Goldfinger generate funds for more obscure titles, which Tadlow had also done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 And also loudly complained on FSM that they don't sell enough and he is done with them. The only thing re-recorded Bonds will generate is, i am afaraid, even more re-recorded Bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Well these recordings cost money. And Kickstarter project might be a new way to finance these releases. Better to test the waters witha well loved Bond scores then an obscure project that only appeals to a very small group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,645 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I would put up money for a lot of things...but MOONRAKER? Seriously?Again showing your lack of taste, aren't you?I wouldn't trust Nic Raine with anything, given how horribly butchered his recording of On Her Majesty's Secret Service cues was. Among others ...Everyone with one functioning ear can hear that Moonraker needs an expansion badly, and is maybe Barry's best from the Moore era.

A. A. Ron 1,742 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 So many people say this and I just don't get it. TMWTGG is boring, sure. But OCTOPUSSY is the pits? I mean, yeah it's a little subdued, but what's wrong with it?That isn't to say it's terrible, it's just a bit dull by Barry's standards. There is one cue I really like though, and that's the climax of the 'Chase Bomb Theme' for when panic goes off in the circus and Bond defuses it.TMWTGG has still got some of that Stan Kenton/Bill Russo edge in the brass, and there's some cool wide (microtonal) vibrato that Barry does with the violins.Yeah its a very by-the-numbers Bond score.I guess that's fair, though I personally don't think MOONRAKER as a whole has that much more to offer. I do quite like them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricard 2,245 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I would never understand why some people see this as a "waste of money" when it's obviously good news that an expanded version of ANY Barry or Bond score (or any score for that matter) gets an official release, and that could probably lead to more projects in the same direction.And in this particular case, it's a fucking brilliant score!

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 For those that may not know, they added two more tiers to the rewards. 100 gets you a signed copy, a 1,000 an invite to the sessions plus hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thats impressive but to be expected. Those who are the most enthusiastic naturally contributed straight away. It will probably take quite a while to hit the target. If it does.Moonraker has the advantage to being an attractive project not only for filmscore fans but also to Bondians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
