Bellosh 3,803 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Hypothetical situation: NASA decides to do another Golden Record and wants John Williams on it. You've been contracted by NASA as a JWFan consultant who's in charge of choosing only 1 cue/track/piece. What are you choosing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Loert 2,594 Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 It would have to be the finale of CE3K for me (and that's not because of the subject matter).

Bellosh 3,803 Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 I had a feeling there might a lot of E.T. and Close Encounters on this (and NOT for the alien aspect of it) I'm still struggling to choose my piece. I feel like it's limited in the sense of this concept but also so many pieces of his are just amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellosh 3,803 Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 I'm actually, as of right now, leaning towards choosing Olympic Fanfare. As it's a theme for the world's greatest athletes. But I kinda want something from his films to be on this. 3 minutes ago, Loert said: Maybe JW is an alien? All his best music seems to be written with aliens in mind... Well already I think the top contenders will be star wars, superman, e.t. and close encounters. And all involve aliens.

Popular Post mrbellamy 6,630 Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 It's a boring answer in the fun thread but I would have a hard time not just picking "Main Title" from Star Wars.

Thor 8,035 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Isn't this essentially a veiled way of asking what one's favourite John Williams track is? But for me, it kinda works. It's the JURASSIC PARK theme, which has the nobility and humanity required to present us to aliens in a sympathetic manner. Unless, our conceptions of nobility and humanity are the opposite of theirs. Bellosh and Loopy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,985 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Either Journey to the Island or Welcome to Jurassic Park. The former has my preferred version of the island theme and the magnificent choir at the end, whereas the latter has the wonderful piano work. I can never decide which of these is my favourite.

None of the pieces I've mentioned are close to being my favorite track. One must consider the importance of the piece over their personal preference. The raiders march might be my favorite theme but I doubt it's worthy of the golden record. and the one on my list is far from my favorite track. That would prob be ToD end credits....but again, worthy of the golden record to space? I'm not sure. Pieter Boelen and ThePenitentMan1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellosh 3,803 Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 now i've got to thinking that maybe it has to be something from Jurassic Park. i looked up what images are on the original golden record, and there doesn't seem to be anything truly dinosaur related (i think) so we could include the theme from Jurassic Park along with some pictures of dinosaurs and bones. I mean they did used to rule the world, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellosh 3,803 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Oh you know what could be a good one? The Asteroid Field Probably would go through one on its way too. Also from empire I feel like Yoda's Theme and the Imperial March could contenders. Although Imperial March might sound too intimidating for our alien friends. Nah fuck it, if I had to choose something from empire it would be Rebel Fleet/End Title and those fucking aliens can figure out the suite themselves. Too much good on those end credits.
