Holko 9,526 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Having no connection to the franchise beside having seen and liking the first one once, I'm inexplicably drawn to return the samples and I'm weirdly liking them the more I listen to them.

Amer 2,108 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Before I even saw it, my janitor told me that this guy cut his hand off and that he was His father...all when I was looking at the Empire poster in the newspaper. I was only 10 at that time. Lol. And I hadn't seen any of the STAR WARS film. But luckily I had forgotten about it. Only when I saw it finally I was given the right shock moment and afterwards was able to recall and understand what the janitor had told me. Years later...

The Five Tones 302 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I've only been able to sit down to hear the first section of PotA that builds up to and culminates in The Hunt. Incredibly good, was an experience not unlike encountering the film for the first time when it was still relatively recent. The usual on point restoration job from MM, so much more depth and clarity than previously. This was the only film score my instrumental composition teacher admired; there are so many similarities to the sound worlds of Varese and Rite-era Stravinsky. I went to school when tonal/film music was way less legitimized in composition programs than it is today. Among many musicians today the older style boundaries aren't an issue, but in some ways atonal music is an even weirder proposition to general 21st century audiences than late 20th, no? We have been so steeped in diatonic, increasingly less chromatic pop and film music in mass culture for the last 20-25 years. That said, I still marvel at what Goldsmith created in 1968 no matter the context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 @Yavar Moradi, I have to agree with you on Beneath the Planet of the Apes. It is a real chore to listen to and I had the impression that it was an attempt to recreate the weird character of the first score, but it ended up in little more than a stack of weirdness. Now listening to the first score: Impressive as always, but much more enjoyable now. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yavar Moradi 2,599 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 How so? I give my true opinion of things, which is sometimes negative. But I actually do *try* to like every score I buy. I’ve been trying to love Beneath the Planet of the Apes for over a decade ever since I got the FSM release. FSM is/was my favorite film music label, because their liner notes were always so consistently great and insightful, that even if I didn’t always click with the score at first, I got a lot out of the accompanying booklet and often the score would grow on me thanks to the writers’ work in helping me connect with it. Well...the liner notes for all the Apes scores FSM released were excellent. But Beneath never grew on me. I tried it multiple times, and I always found it an unpleasant listen, difficult to connect with and enjoy even if I could understand what Rosenman was going for. I’ll give it another honest shot when I get my LLL set and maybe the intervening years will make a difference. Star Trek IV eventually grew on me beyond the finale cue, after the new Intrada expanded edition (even though it’s still easily my least favorite Trek feature score). But you know how I know I’m not “so critical of everything”? Because so many years ago, when I so disliked Rosenman’s Beneath score despite my efforts, when I tried the FSM release of his later score to Battle for the Planet of the Apes, to my surprise I liked it a lot! I didn’t go in determined to be critical just because I disliked Rosenman’s previous effort (and a lot of his other scores). I still gave it a fair chance and enjoyed it quite a bit. I’m curious if @Brundlefly will have a similar experience when he gets to the last disc of the set. Yavar Amer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amer 2,108 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 To date Iam only familiar with the original Planet of the Apes film and score. Never got around to see the remaining sequels(even though I have the movies on my blu ray book set) So Iam intrigued about the other titles on the score set. I have only recently been taken over (say enamored) by Rosenmans music specially for ROBOCOP 2, so I look forward to hearing his score.
