blondheim 1,157 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The worst part is they delayed Flight of the Intruder and he could have done both. It stings. 12 hours ago, Hedji said: I have to admire your discipline and loyalty. It's too bad there isn't even a rejected score to compare, because it's always fun to play "What If?' But I actually get resisting a certain composer just because. I'm sort of the same way with James Newton Howard and John Powell for no good reason. Sometimes it's hard to get out of our own dogmatic way. You never know where the music will take you, though. I've got a handful of Barry on my shelves, and am now wanting more because of this. I'm convinced some of my inclination towards Barry's mellow composition has to do with aging and the occasional need for soothing pastoral music. I actually like quite a bit of other Barry and I am quite sure I would like this too. It's an odd little situation.

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Basil was in his prime Listen to WHITE FANG, DOVE, JUNGLE BOOK. JB was way past his prime. He did make a comeback with DWW, a very nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just... don't want to like it? It's perverse. I'm loyal to an imaginary score that doesn't exist. Angry loyal. I don't know why I care so much, it's not Barry's fault. I feel much the same with the latter Harry Potter scores, and all the inevitably brilliant JW cues/themes we were robbed from hearing. I'll probably feel the same about the Avatar sequel scores without Horner. Of course, snubs like Arnold's ID42 or Davis' Matrix 4 are so much worse, because both composers were alive and available to return if the directors weren't so pigheaded (and the replacement scores left much to be desired). All that said, I don't want to live in a world where Barry's theme for Two Socks never existed. It's utterly gorgeous, and the score proper is glorious. Few pieces of film music reach the heights of Farewell And End Title, but Barry made it seem effortless. Edmilson, Andy and Yavar Moradi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,989 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Shame, it is a really nice set actually. For years, I was avoiding the other extended disc due to my worries it would be an overkill. But the LLL one really changed my mind. It feels, oddly, less repetitive than the original album. Glad I picked it up a couple of years ago.

Popular Post Bellosh 3,398 Posted September 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2023 i love how the score begins and ends with the military version of Dunbar's theme (probably my favorite theme from the film, and hearing it in other cues like 'Spit and Polish' makes this expansion so special to me) It opens so hopeful in a very unhopeful cue title 'Main Title/Looks Like a Suicide'. It almost has a sunrise sound to it with the trumpet. The dawn of something new. and then at the very end of the end titles, a very very somber rendition, for obvious reasons. it sounds like his character and hopes being buried, like a soldiers death. i love when a theme can sound hopeful and sad based on how it's played.

Ollie 1,059 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 This is one of those multi dip scores for me. I had the original release, mistakingly bought the gold disc release (did not read the back to see what the extra tracks were), the first expansion, and then the LLL. Might be my favorite Barry score, aside from King Kong. Yavar Moradi and Bellosh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,507 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 DANCES WITH WOLVES is a fine score, but KING KONG dances all over its head, and goes "Cock-a-doodle-doo!". Good day to you, sir. bruce marshall and Ollie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Edmilson 7,397 Posted September 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2023 Kong is good, don't get me wrong, especially the emotional music for his tragic demise. But I just love Barry in his epic/sweeping mode, and Dances with Wolves is the culmination of that. One of my top 10 scores ever.

Bellosh 3,398 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 it's in my top 10 scores of all time too, maybe top 5! Two Socks theme is so beautiful. Has hints of playfulness and sadness. But holy fuck when he dies in the film...I usually have to fast foward it. It sends me into a fit of sadness. Holko and Yavar Moradi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
