Giftheck 916 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Amazing. People can tell what a whole score is going to be like from three minutes of it! Also, I disagree with that assessment anyway, especially given the implementation of Akira Ifukube's themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the original score very much and how this march functions within it but as a thematic idea it's just not that special. Like Brad Fiedel's Terminator theme, it is the film that elevates the theme rather than the opposite being the case. Having said that, I liked how Silvestri used it in RPO.

Giftheck 916 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 How dare you! (Joke, though it was written influenced by the small ensemble Ifukube had for the first film - he would have written it very differently had he had a full orchestra).

Ollie 1,059 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I was talking with a friend who’s far more musically versed than I am. He found it way to “busy” and preferred Ifukube’s more streamlined style. I kinda agree but I’d like to hear the whole score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
