Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 They didn't start sounding god-like until The Land Before Time. That's one of my demo discs I use to torture sound systems. No doubt they'll fuck it up once they do an expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,683 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 2 hours ago, Richard said: I've seen that documentary, too. Horner was an arrogant little shit, back then. Apparently, not much changed. The engineer on ALIENS was Eric Tomlinson, and he did a bang-up job, on that score. I'd rather have his lovely, dry sound, than Murphy's homogeneous, wet fish crap. I don't know - he's certainly not modest in that interview, but most of his concerns seemed to stem from Cameron's time pressures and not appreciating that a composer needs a locked picture to write to. Maybe his comment about 'find a composer better suited' was a bit arrogant, but to an extent it's reasonable for him to challenge the producers when they're asking things of him that others in the composing profession would consider unrealistic. The bit about Cameron loving his score to Braveheart - that's definitely a Horner 'thing'. He also talked about considering himself to have done 'such a good job' on The Perfect Storm on Schweiger's interview years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amer 2,096 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Unfortunately besides Horner on Aliens, Goldsmith and Elfman had problematic experiences on Supergirl and Batman respectively. They never worked with Eric Tomlinson again. I still miss the Tomlinson Sound in todays scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,346 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 6 pages of speculation, nice. There's no reason to assume Williams has anything to do with LLL's April slate. In fact, they don't even know what's coming in April right now: Quote No April flyer MV Quote Just to clarify, we do have some things coming in April we just don't know what and I don't want to state anything specifically until we do. As of right now we do have Day The Earth Stood Still coming April 10 for sure. That's at the printers We have 4 other projects inching toward the finish line...all of which could be signed off on today or weeks from now. It's all part of the wonderful and exciting life of a soundtrack label owner! We are lucky like that.

bollemanneke 3,342 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 If it's gonna be a year for the books, I suggest they start sooner than later with putting things out... Also, wouldn't a book about Indiana Jones and Star Wars music (certainly Indy) be sort of too much? I mean, it's good music, but neither scores can be compared to LOTR/Hobbit.

bollemanneke 3,342 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I'm sorry, but regardless of the many problems Hobbit has, you can't seriously claim that there is more (thematic) depth to Star Wars or Indy than LOTR?

Jurassic Shark 12,054 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Star Wars because it's great music, it reintroduced the symphonic sound in film music, and because of the monumental achievement of nine scores spread over more than four decades. Indy because it's great music (first three, at least). I wouldn't mind a book on Hook or HP either. Ricard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
