Faleel 5,355 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Is the Fanfare at 1:53 and 4:35 of The Streets of Metropolis, a reference to 0:25 of the Prelude from Superman I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes absolutely. Thorne seemed to really like that little progression. It’s also at 0:40 of Streets of Metropolis, but my favorite is when Thorne combined it with the “Personal” theme in Superman II, here at 2:55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,355 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 As an aside, the part at 5:05 of Peter's Challenge from Hook kinda sounds like Prelude as well. ThePenitentMan1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,544 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Ken Thorne did a bang-up job, on II. It was a thankless task, and he rose to the challenge, with guts, and aplomb. He deserves better. The more I listen to the Blue Box, the more I like it.

Popular Post Yavar Moradi 2,599 Posted March 7 Popular Post Share Posted March 7 I like what he did on III better though. More interesting because he put more of himself in it. Yavar Naïve Old Fart, Andy and Stark 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 4,138 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I like them both. It is interesting to me that on III, chronologically, he took the same approach as on II, (mostly) adapting Williams for the first 2/3 of the film. But then, once the Evil Superman is vanquished, Thorne give the March one last hurrah, and then totally switches modes to make it (almost) all Thorne for the last act. I particularly love the balloon cue, which is uplifting in and of itself, but also signaling the listener that the score now is shifting to belong to Thorne.

The sound - even on the Blue Box - is still "small". Imagine II and III with the LSO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it has more to do with CTS, it may be a fine studio space, but it's not Anvil/Abbey Road. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amer 2,110 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Mike Matessino did a great job bringing out the fuller sound. There is a day and night difference between the OST and this edition as well as the Blue Box! Yavar Moradi and Naïve Old Fart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
