Popular Post Thor 7,495 Posted December 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2017 OK, had my first listen to this. I like it far better than THE LAST JEDI -- I'm even tempted to say it's my second favourite JW score after WAR HORSE since 2005! I still haven't seen the movie, so I have no idea what scenes these tracks accompany. "The Papers" -- shades of PRESUMED INNOCENT, MUNICH and NIXON (all as expected). A surprising presence of pulsating electronics (even more pronounced than the opening of MUNICH). I wonder how much input Williams had in this, or if it was all produced by someone else (Randy Kerber?)? Dark, undulating strings and solemn brass throughout. "The Presses Roll" -- slightly lighter string ostinato, with brass as occasional punctuation marks. Sounds surprisingly "contemporary" (think Marianelli, Korzeniowski etc.). Gorgeous string harmonies towards the end. Nice track! "Nixon's Order" -- basically VERY dark, slow string harmonies. "The Oak Room, 1971" -- sounds like a 'loungey' jazz track with pronounced solo piano and a bass. A source cue, presumably? Very smooth. Could have been an outtake from SABRINA. "Setting the Type" -- a steady rhythm builds gradually with exploratory string harmonies, almost setting into a STAR WARS-type march on several occasions, but it's always "cut off" before it gets going. "Mother and Daughter" -- Lovely, melancholic piano. Very delicate with shades of Americana. Eventually strings join in. Beautiful! In the territory of STANLEY & IRIS, THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST or STEPMOM, although perhaps without the strong melody. "Scanning the Papers" -- more PRESUMED INNOCENT stylings. Cautious, with circular figures. Not very remarkable track. "Two Martini Lunch" -- more loungey piano jazz. Another source cue, I presume. Same quality as "The Oak Room, 1971", although more 'improvisational'. "Deciding to Publish" -- Clearly a pivotal moment in the film. Starts off cautious and suspenseful, slightly dissonant. Then at 1.44, a more steady string ostinato comes in -- still keeping it all eerie. At 2:19, the track grows more busy. The string ostinato picks up its pace. The trademark Williams brass counterpoints emerge, as does the electronic beat. It's not a particularly remarkable track (there is NO melody or theme), but I love the gradual build and "riffs". "The Court's Decision & End Credits" -- the 'tour-de-force' track. Americana is back, with both brass and strings harmonizing in typical Williams fashion. The rhytmical patterns appear regularly -- Williams' new love of clusters and motifs -- but the vast-leaped Americana melodies are never far away. Some lovely woodwinds here too (oh, how I've missed them!). At about 5 minutes, the faux-march appears for a few moments -- reminiscent of the opening track of NIXON. Superb track!

Jay 37,352 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 It's longer than the FYC. The FYC doesn't include the two lounge source cues (The Oak Room and Two Martini Lunch), but features a cue (First Class Seat) that doesn't seem to be on the OST I don't think.

Thor 7,495 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The album flows fine as it is, but I could probably squeeze in "First Class Seat" from the FYC there without making too much of a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,352 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 So here's a quick chronological order, should be accurate unless some tracks feature cues from two different parts of the movie (which could be the case with "Mother and Daughter" and "Setting The Type". 01 The Papers (3:56) 03 Nixon's Order (1:47) 07 Scanning the Papers (2:22) 09 Deciding to Publish (5:42) 06 Mother and Daughter (3:23) 05 Setting the Type (2:34) 02 The Presses Roll (5:00) 10 The Court's Decision and End Credits (11:04) Source music: 04 The Oak Room, 1971 (1:46) 08 Two Martini Lunch (2:34) I think the OST order is a better listening experience anyway, though. Oh, and there doesn't seem to be any concert arrangements, unless "Setting The Type" is one. The first minute seems the same as the FYC track by that name though. Maybe the rest is an album-only extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but with The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, sometimes the harmonies sound a little simpler than what I'm used to from John Williams...I don't know why, they just don't feel as present. But in the samples here, I get smacked in the face with the harmonic goods I want to hear. Speaking of which, I get some 70's vibes from some of the harmonies in the samples!

filmmusic 1,826 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I have the hunch that the decision to include those 2 source cues in the ost, maybe shows that even Williams doesn't think that the score alone could work in album. What John Williams ost (not expansion) included source cues written by him (besides Star Wars)? I believe indeed it's one of his weakest scores. I can't find something weaker from 1970 and on. I would say it's in the same league as Munich, but that has those 2 extraordinary themes that elevate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull A.I. Artificial Intelligence (though later we learned it was written by his son, and whether or not its truly "source" is questionable too I suppose.) The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn (though I suppose he only arranged it, not wrote it) The Carousel music from The Fury and 1941? And some 60s comedy scores?
