Trent B 337 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hey gents, LLL just announced April 12th's titleshttp://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=77933&forumID=1&archive=0A-Ten-Hut!After taking a nearly month long RNR, La La Land is ready to get back out on the field with not one, not two, but THREE very diverse releases.Listen up, soldiers – La-La Land Records and EA Games are proud to announce an 8 disc set of music from the MEDAL OF HONOR video game series. This massive collection features music from 9 games – over 10 hours of some of the finest orchestral music ever recorded for the gaming world! Extensive liner notes by Dan Goldwasser go into detail about the series and its music. Each disc has been remastered from elements found in the EA vaults as well as from the composers’ personal collection.Discs 1-6 feature music from the first 8 games (Medal of Honor 1999, MOH Underground, MOH Frontline, MOH Allied Assault, MOH Pacific Assault, MOH European Assault, MOH Rising Sun, and MOH Airborne). Disc 7 features the score to MOH 2010 as well as bonus material. Disc 8 features Bonus Material from AIRBORNE, RISING SUN and EUROPEAN ASSAULT. This impressive collection comes housed in an attractive reinforced cardboard sleeve that would look pretty nifty in your footlocker or on your shelf.Forward by Steven Spielberg. MEDAL OF HONOR SOUNDTRACK COLLECTION - 8 disc set, 40 page bookletMusic by Michael Giacchino, Christopher Lennertz and Ramin DjawadiLLLCD 1159Limited Edition of 2000 unitsRegular Retail Price: $59.98Special Sale Price: $54.98Produced by Steve Schnur, Raphi Lima, Eric Kraber and MV GerhardMastered by James Nelson, Digital OutlandLiner Notes by Dan GoldwasserArt Direction by David FeinWe will NOT be offering autographed copies of this release.Next up, La-La Land Records and Warner Bros. Animation are proud to announce the return to our long line of DC Animated projects – DC SHOWCASE, which features music from the animated shorts THE SPECTRE, JONAH HEX, GREEN ARROW and SHAZAM/SUPERMAN: THE RETURN OF BLACK ADAM. This wildly diverse collection of music was composed by THE TRACK TEAM a.k.a.

This 2 disc Limited Edition set was meticulously assembled by Mike Matessino and mastered by Bruce Botnick from Mr. Botnick’s own 1st generation digital masters straight from the mixing board. This magnificent score has never sounded so lush and vibrant. In our humble opinion, this was Mr. Goldsmith’s finest triumph in the last decade of his career – a magnum opus that plays more like a symphony rather than a film score – a masterpiece that ranks right up there with PATTON, THE OMEN, THE WIND AND THE LION, CHINATOWN and THE SAND PEBBLES as one of his finest works as a composer.

Datameister 2,073 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 If First Knight is as good as everyone makes it out to be, I might have to buy it. I'll be sure to listen to some samples when they're available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sure to listen to some samples when they're available.It's a very nice, melodic symphonic score, even though I wouldn't label it as one of Jerry's all-time masterpieces. It was written during a period where Goldsmith decided to get a more streamlined approach to scoring movies. He wanted first and foremost to compose unabashedly romantic music (Rudy, Forever Young, Powder, Ghost and the Darkness) and tried to wear a kind of John Barry-like hat, conceiving grand, broad themes with prominent long lines played by French horns (think also Star Trek Voyager or First Contact main themes). My own feeling is that all these scores are surely fine and crafted with his usual top skill, but they lack a certain "edge", that brilliant creative spark that distinguished all his scores from the mid-1960s to mid-to-late 1980s.That being said, First Knight sports some great action writing, featuring several cues with chorus singing Latin lyrics à là The Omen.

Laserschwert 477 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 and tried to wear a kind of John Barry-like hatIt's funny you mention John Barry, because in the quiz over at the other thread when the clip from "Out of Africa" came up, I was so sure it was "First Knight"... or when that turned out to be wrong at least some other Goldsmith.Anyway, MoH and FK: bought!

Maglorfin 196 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 It's a very nice, melodic symphonic score, even though I wouldn't label it as one of Jerry's all-time masterpieces. I agree and ask myself, is it worth upgrading if I already have the regular release? Oh, to hell with it, probably I'll end up ordering it anyway ...

crocodile 8,040 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 That's actually a tough question to answer. I had some bootleg recording and I never listened to it. But I do like the album very much. The score is certainly very good and one of the very best from Goldsmith in the 90's. 5000 should last some time though. So I can think it through.

If you only have the original album and are into polished adventure scores, it is a must-have. Goldsmith produced a lean 40-minute album - for his own mysterious reasons, since Epic offered him a long album. This only included key pieces like the more ponderous MARS-inspired battle cues included but left out the dynamic adventure music for lancelot and fleshed-out material for the baddies and the love affair. It may not be the staggering triumph Lalaland's PR declares now, but at least 60 minutes of it are pure aces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,748 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I'll have to take a listen first (since there are no autographs to worry about). I have maybe 6 or 7 tracks from the OST which are good, but overall it's a bit too bombastic and 'in-your-face' for my tastes. I think I had a footwarmer at one point and it was just too much.I'm hoping an expansion of The Mummy might be coming sometime.But kudos to LLL for continuing to attack the 90s.

Plus it will have the cues that feature Lancelot's theme as well as the abduction and rescue of Guinevere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,467 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Ah, screw it -- I'll give ya guys a New Years treat: Barry Debney Elfman Goldsmith Horner Howard Kamen Mancina Newman Morris Poledouris Portman Snow Tiomkin Williams . . . and a host of others will be out on our label this year! And that's just in JANUARY! LOL j/k HAPPY NEW YEAR! MVHere's my personal guesses:Barry - King Kong '76 Debney - Young Riders (duh) Elfman - Well LLL has a good relationship with WB (Peewee, Beetlejuice, ) and Fox (Edward Scissorhands, Planet of the Apes) and Paramount (Scrooged, Mission Impossible, Sleepy Hollow). Lots of options! I think Scrooged is most likely Goldsmith - First Knight Horner - Wolfen Howard - Waterworld maybe, if the OST wasn't already complete? Kamen - Die Hard, hopefully followed by DH2 and especially 3!!!!!! Mancina - Assassins Newman - er, which Newman? Morris - Clue (duh) Poledouris - hopefully Starship Troopers if Varese doesn't hold perpetual rights... if they do, then Hunt For Red October Portman - Jim Henson's Storytellers (duh) Snow - X-Files box set (duh) Tiomkin - no idea Williams - HOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

paleo 63 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 That's a tough decision...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Definitely notI expected 3,000 units. But one day, really? On one hand it's a video game franchise that doesn't hold well to critics, but then again it's a shit ton of Giacchino's finest work. I don't know how it will sell. Either way I've got my autographed copy pre-ordered from Dark Del, so I'm already good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,275 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I might get First Knight, it's a score I was always very fond of (though, if the second cd is mostly the original album, 30 bucks is a bit steep).And about MOH, I've never played the games, I'm far from being a Giacchino fan, but is the music really that good?

Trent Hoyt 13 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I remember playing the first game when it came out. I had no idea who the composer was and I wasn't real interested in video game music but it still blew me away. I've held off on buying the cds since they were out of print and I didnt want to spend extra money. This set is going to be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,991 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 And about MOH, I've never played the games, I'm far from being a Giacchino fan, but is the music really that good?IMHO, yes, it's very good music. Giacchino clearly channeled the Williams' sound of the mid-late 1980s (esp. the first MOH, which has a kind of Last Crusade vibe to it), but it's not just carbon-copy: he put his own touches all throughout. Maybe it's not adventurous, forward-looking music--its goal is clearly to harken back to a certain film music "sound", but it's well-written, exciting, straightforward music miles better than many crap film scores for contemporary blockbuster movies.
