Romão 2,276 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I know, I'm well aware. Just though it was curious it was still being used in Star Wars related content Manakin Skywalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stravinsky 206 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 It's just a bit of a, shame Williams didn't write this himself, because if he had it would've been the highlight of an otherwise disappointing and lackluster score.

TheAvengerButton 175 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 A little late to the party but I'm glad these pieces were found (Space Battalions and Battleforce). Thinking about purchasing them for use in a future project, now. Are there any other potential-license Star Wars pastiche pieces that are out there that rival these ones in quality?

Just look through both APM and Audio Network, there's an infinite supply of music out there. Sorting through it all to find something specific can be pretty time-consuming, but you might find some good pieces of music here and there.

TownerFan 4,991 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 James Brett is a fine composer. I used a few of his tracks for work reasons in the past and I was always pleased to find real musicianship at display. Library cues usually tend to be awkward pastiche of whatever musical genres. The one which are film score-like are usually not very inspired and often they go the safe route of aping the standard RCP-like sound. Brett seems to be one of the stand-out guys in that regard, though. Manakin Skywalker and Dr. Know 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pando 143 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Other pieces in the playlist show resemblance to Williams' work, to the point where the notes are different, but the orchestration (tone and color) is nearly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manakin Skywalker 4,904 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Yeah that's typically done intentionally since a lot of advertisers like to use music similar to famous pieces of work but obviously without using the actual work. I write stock music sometimes so I find myself doing that quite often as well. Originality doesn't sell well unfortunately.

Richard Penna 3,753 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I've heard a lot of stock tracks that pretty shamelessly rip off E.T., Indy, Star Wars, etc - same orchestration, but a different melody. I suppose the average Joe wouldn't care - they might at worst think 'oh cool, that sounds like E.T.'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Know 326 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Just a head's up that Audio Network seems to have upgraded the sound quality of its preview tracks, which are all now 192 kbps (previously they were around 128kbps). There are some real treasures, though it takes time to find them. Joe Kraemer, mentioned elsewhere, has some good orchestral tracks on the site, as does Alex Kovacs, Jerome Leroy, Chris Egan, Paul Mottram, and James Seymour Brett, among others.

Richard Penna 3,753 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I noticed that they'd upgraded all their samples at some point in the middle of last year, and everything sounds perfect as a result. I also discovered that they don't protect their preview files very carefully (or... at all). If you determine the album and track number for a track, it can be played/downloaded via this URL: http://content2.audionetwork.com/Preview/tracks/mp3/v5res/ANW3295/01.mp3 There's an album listing (with album numbers) here. One of the purchase options is a 192kb mp3, which means they're insecurely streaming literally the same file that you can buy. Unfortunately it's still £8 per track for a wav file, but this workaround largely compensates for their removing their 'personal listening' licence a few years ago. I have tons of their music downloaded in this way, partly to listen, and partly as I use their music a lot in my own videos. Dr. Know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stravinsky 206 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 For me this cue by J Brett is still the best theme associated with Episode IX. Too bad it wasn't in the movie. Fabulin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Know 326 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Audio Network has a new James Brett album called Dragon Quest that I would highly recommend to all John Williams fans. The cue "The Flight of the Fairies," in particular, has a great Williams vibe. https://us.audionetwork.com/browse/m/album/dragon-quest_3463 thx99 and Manakin Skywalker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
