Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 The Electro material is the only stuff that I sort of like from that score. The rest is either too bland or too hokey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yeah the ethereal stuff is where it shines.Definitely. That plus the cool electronica bits, Frost/Nixon rhythmic stylings and the lovely colour accents he uses to support some of the more emotional stuff.www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVLMaEAenNowww.youtube.com/watch?v=Da3vi0c9qOgTo its credit though, I do enjoy the neoclassical shades of the Electro material. It's the dub step and the whispering that goes too far into the deep end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Both are the re-recordings ! YEAH BABY !! ET is not a re-recording!OK, my mistake, but it's an arrangement right?

Jay 37,367 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Track #1 "Three Million Light Years From Home" is the same as the 1996 or 2002 track "Far From Home", just with a section microedited outTrack #6 "E.T. Phone Home" is the same as the 1996 track "E.T. Is Alive" (The 2002 version of "E.T. Is Alive" has a section microedited out)Track #8 "Adventures On Earth" is more or less the same as the 1996 or 2002 track "Escape / Chase / Saying Goodbye", just with some different takes, overlays and inserts used or not used between the three versions.Track # 2 "Abandoned And Pursued" is a special version of "E.T. Alone" recorded just for the LP.Track #4 "E.T.'s Halloween" is a special version of "The Magic of Halloween" recorded just for the LP.The remaining three tracks - "E.T. And Me", "Flying", and "Over The Moon" - are concert arrangements recorded just for the LP.See here for more info: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AjiRtgP4_o4TdG12WENnUDd3U183cUZHZmtOV1otQUE&output=html (Note there are two tabs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 It's pretty tacky but yet I love it.Ambrose's Theme is my favourite thing from the score. It's a chaconne idea that he later used for the Batman films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 It's a by the numbers HZ action score in the 90s vein. Male chorus, loud guitars, etc. Good stuff. Fits the film like a glove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I actually prefer to a lot of Zimmer's 90s action scores, like THE ROCK and BROKEN ARROW.

crocodile 8,017 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Dead Ringers by Howard Shore. I like this one, I like it a lot. It's dark, as many scores from this composer. But also really gentle and melancholic.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 454 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Guild Wars: Eye of the North - Jeremy SouleI haven't listened to this in years, and I was doing a clean-up when I stumbled onto my CD-R. Still a really good listen, and impressive for an entirely sampled score. The strings sound live at times, especially in "Ballad of Ice and Snow."

publicist 4,643 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 OUTCAST - Lennie Morre Game score that employs huge orchestra and choir and flip-flops stylistically between Goldenthal's FINAL FANTASY and Davis' MATRIX scores. The writing isn't quite as distinctive but compared to what passes for sci-fi score these days we should thank our lucky stars for a huge and lazy male demographic that regularly seats their pants before a video monitor rather than having a life.

Thanks mates, you made it possible!What are you doing typing these words in front of a computer monitor when you could have a life? Outcast is pretty much its own thing in the orchestral world, no FF or The Matrix, at least not what I can hear. It's grand, it's sweeping, it's beautiful, it's everything that symphonic music could hope to be, and the game was actually improved immeasurely by it. I know because I played it and it's great.

To have such music and call it standardized is what's wrong here. It shouldn't be taken for granted. The composer was inspired by the greats of course but that doesn't make Outcast any less impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 1. I expect u to like computer games and that makes you an object for my open ridicule and mean spirit!! ( )2. Let's say we may have different standards there. I never would label a work like this as more than promising. So many better scores in a very similar idiom have been already written.

Jay 37,367 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 David Arnold - Independence Day (LLL)This score just keeps getting better with time. Love every second of it.Michael Giacchino - Mission Impossible 4 Ghost ProtocolI think I like this score a little more each time I listen. I never disliked it, but I never loved either, but I'm starting too. The Russian and Indian bits are still my favorite bits.Alan Silvestri - The Abyss (Deluxe Edition)Still loving this score and this release, but I really need to make a personal edit / playlist that replaces most of the revised cues with Silvestri's original intentions, cause I like his original more thematic and emotion versions better than the more dissonant revised versionsBrian Tyler - Now You See MeStill loving the shit out of this score. Recently learned the SoundCloud release is wildly out of chronological order - some time I gotta hunker down and figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
