Guest Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I tell ya...I've listened to almost everything that Williams has written over the last 40 years and there's something in "AI" that haunts me like nothing else he's written.My favorite moment happens on track 8 Monica's Theme at the 7:30 mark where the vocals double the string melody. So beautiful...Also the minimalist stuff sounds so fresh and inventive I am truly in awe of Williams seemily endless talent. Spectacular!What do you think??jedijim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 And of course if you trade for a copy of the 2 c.d.promo or a DVD rip with even some more music,that's even better.K.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beowulf 4 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Yes...I like AI mucho bueno!BTW...how the hell did "For Always" NOT win the academy award for "Best Song" in 2001. Was it even nominated???With the crap that *is* modern "pop" music out there, JW's contribution to this abyssmal field went unnoticed by the general public, and that is indeed sad! "For Always" is one of the few songs (with words) that have been written recently that I can actually stand - indeed, I honestly love it. But then again, it was written by the maestro, and not a pre-packaged market-oriented sack of crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpeteer 302 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 And Justin, I only recently got the promo.....Ray Barnsbury Anyway, it is a great score. One of the few scores to bring a tear to my eye when listening to it for the first time. When Barbara Bonney's voice sails through the end credits of the film, I felt the connection.And though many people say that music accompanying the capture of the runaway mechas is not good, it always blows my mind.
