Sandor 459 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 He was quite active in the 80's and early '90's I think arranging all kind of film music including John Williams. Ofcourse he made his own syntheziser albums, but instead of just directly copying the original orchestral score (which is done nowadays so much) he actually arranged themes in a unique way. His arrangment of the E.T. theme is fantastic. It brings out the melody even better then on the original soundtrack. Not saying I prefer his synths to Williams orchestra of course. Any opinions?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,251 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 He makes those CD's you can find for 5 Euro's in the SALES bin at Free Record Shop, right?I'd never imagine anyone from our MB would ever say anything positive about those things.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,251 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Geez that's cheap.Still not cheap enough for me to invest in it though. I think chris Afonso has a thing for cheesy synth albums though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjguitar 0 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I have one of those Ed Starink albums (Back To The Future- Great Sceince Fiction Film Themes Vol 2.)[ironically I've never seen a volume one]And actually, its one of my favorite of the "synth budget" sci fi cds. Mostly because of the use of guitars, it sounds pretty sweet, but then again I'm a guitar player and I love hearing movie themes played on electric guitar in a 'rock setting'. Guilty pleasure I suppose.I hate how those CDs are misleading as they say its an orchestra, though at the bottom fo the CD it says arranged and produced by Ed Starink.Anyway this CD has:1. back to the future2. star wars3. the empire strikes back4. return of the jedi5. star trek6. alien7. e.t.8. 20019. battlestar galactica10. close encounters of the third kindIts only a little bit over 30 minutes long, but it cost me, like, a dollar on amazon.

Sandor 459 Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 The Luke And Leia arrangment is especially cool. Very different from the one we are so familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
