thx99 1,783 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks for pointing this out, @Fal! Downloaded all of the Williams-related podcasts, but after having listened to the first few, I'm not sure that I'll be able to stomach listening through them all. Are "Ron the Reviewer" and "Ron Longo" one in the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,501 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Yeah..... I had a similar reaction when I tried listening to their Williams-casts a few months ago. I think they might get better over time, but that one guy is pretty irritating to listen to. JWSUPERFAN and thx99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx99 1,783 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 OMG!! Lord give me the strength to get through these. Still on episode 2 (October 2010) and there are SOOO many errors, unfounded assertions, and name flubs ("Leslie Brickoski"), and the quality is lousy in portions. The supposed audio guy (or someone else afterwards) used a very aggressive expander or some sort of processing such that his voice "pumps" in the last syllable right before he stops talking and is then truncated.

crumbs 14,629 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Speaking of podcasts, does anyone know what's happened to Star Wars Oxygen on Rebel Force Radio? No new episodes since December, when they used to be monthly. I guess they're just waiting for JW's new score so they have more to talk about?

I read somewhere that they're maybe going to have Giacchino as a guest to talk about Rogue One. They might be waiting on his availability to record the next episode?

Very much agree - I suppose the survival of any art form requires advocates in each new generation. We're all just fortunate that so much of Williams' work is connected to such cultural mainstays and likely to live on and on. Here's hoping new generations find their way to the likes of Herrmann, Steiner, Waxman - whatever the path (podcasts, YouTube). 5 hours ago, thx99 said: Plug away, @martybmusic!!

thx99 1,783 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 BRAVO, @martybmusic (and brother Will), on your fantastic UnderScore podcasts!!! Not only on JW's Raiders of the Lost Ark , but Silvestri's Back to the Future as well. I skipped over Vertigo for the time being only because I was impatient and wanted to jump right to BttF! Though I'm not well-versed in music theory, I do enjoy the insights and am able to get something out of the in-depth commentary and dissection of the music. You've got a listener for life here.

Disco Stu 15,501 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 You have to check out "Art of the Score" @thx99. They've done Raiders, Jurassic Park, and Star Wars, all excellent.

mrbellamy 6,634 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Is "Art of the Score"'s Raiders discussion worth listening to if I've already gone through "Underscore"'s shows on it?

Brundlefly 2,392 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 What are the time stamps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,629 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The quality is quite good for film stems! It sounds almost as good as whatever Concord used to build their expansion. He got this off eBay?? How did we miss this? Did it just get lost amongst all the Bluray rips? Considering the amount of alternates on the Concord release (and Lego rips), the film stems would basically allow a complete TOD score. We have alternates for Old Priest's Tale, A Child Returns, To Pankot Palace, Map, plus Water! and Nightclub Brawl without their film inserts/overlays. 31:25 - Anything Goes Playoff 34:30 - Desolate Village (Slalom on Mt. Humol Part B) 39:55 - Indy and the Villagers (already released) followed by A Child Returns (film version, different from Lego rip) which ends with Fortune and Glory 1:01:45 - To Pankot Palace (film version with the low male choir as Indy finds the bloodied statue -- this seems to be an insert. Didn't realise all the creepy 'moaning' jungle sounds were actually SFX, not music) 1:12:50 - Palace Source 1 (did Williams compose this?) 1:16:58 - Entrance of the Boy King followed by Palace Source 2 (Williams is having way too much fun writing for sitar!) and all the various food reveal stingers. Does anyone else hear a Lord of the Rings theme at 1.17.06?? 1:27:33 - Palace Source 3 and final food stinger The palace stuff seems to be worse quality, with some distant echoes of sound effects and voices. Might have been a different source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Gonzales 6,041 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 I think Palace Source 1 sounds weird because it was pre-recording from on set, or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksparrow900 35 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 So more unreleased music from Temple in the new John Williams Special 32. Unfortunately the film version of the Sanskirt Sacrifice they didn't play they instead played the audio from the film which is a bummer. We now have the film ending to Children In Chains along with Mola Ram's Speech and the first portion of Evil Potion they did not play. The second part where Indy is on the slab having haunting thoughts all the way to the sacrifice continues and the last unreleased track is Willie In The Fryer.
