    It has MOUNTAINS in the title, that'll suffice. wink

    Which scores did you have to omit from your play list?

    Dammit, I lost my short list with some of the titles that didn't make the cut.

    But off the top of my head, I remember SHOOT TO KILL (John Scott) and WHERE EAGLES DARE (Ron Goodwin) were being considered.

    I think I've overestimated the potential popularity of this programme. It seems to be appreciated by "regular folks", while most film music people couldn't care less! LOL!

  3. There's a certain crowd of film composers (usually crossover types) who get a lot more buzz from film fans or "regular folks" than from the actual film score community: Moroder, Faltermeyer, Santaolalla, Reznor etc.

    I like to call it the emperor's new clothes effect.

    Why do you think so?
    Did you get that as feedback (I don't see *any* comments on the site sad ).

    I'm definitely going to listen to this when I get home!

    No, it's my own expectations that were totally out of whack. I thought there would be an aramada of feedback, social media sharing etc. as soon as I published (since he is probably the biggest star I've had on the show -- no offense to Silvestri, Horner, Martinez, Goldenthal, JNH, Doyle or Fenton). Maybe I made a mistake of publishing while most US people were still fast asleep. These things are tricky.
    I am extremely serious.
  4. I'd think Horner has got Moroder beat! Not to mention that for general (consensus) film music fans, a lot of those other names are simply far more dear to us than Moroder's. But Horner might even give him a run for the money with regular folks.

    I have to say I really enjoyed the episode (I figured out a way to listen to it at work smile ).
    Moroeder seems a very amiable guy, and I found the questions (and answers) were original and enlightening.
    I didn't even hate the music (that much).
    And I liked finally hearing your voice!

    Just three critical remarks:
    1) Metropolis is not directed by F.W. Murnau as Moroder suggests, but by Fritz Lang.
    2) Leni Riefenstahl was never a Nazi (although I of course get where he comes from, and she WAS a personal friend of the Führer).
    3) You never mentioned my 'burp in the Universe' comment to him... sad

    Ha, ha...forgot about the 'burp'.

    I thought maybe Moroder referred to the Murnau Stiffnung -- which I assumed was an institute that had more than just Murnau's material, but also works by other German expressionists. But of course, he could very well be confusing Murnau with Lang too. His memory wasn't top notch (as when I had to hum the "Swamp of Sadness" theme to him)!

    Thanks for listening, Martijn.

    You know, you may well be right!
    While its main focus is indeed Murnau's work, for sure the Foundation has taken Metropolis under its wing.

    Just checked, and indeedy: from the German site:
    Die Stiftung übernahm 1966 die Filmmaterialien (samt den dazugehörigen Auswertungsrechten) der mit dem Gesetz zur Abwicklung und Entflechtung des ehemaligen reichseigenen Filmvermögens vom 5. Juni 1953 aufgelösten deutschen Filmproduktionsgesellschaften, d. h. der Universum Film AG, der Ufa-Filmkunst GmbH, der Terra, der Tobis, der Bavaria und der Berlin-Film GmbH, einschließlich der Nachkriegsproduktion der Ufa-Filmkunst GmbH und der Bavaria.

    Darunter finden sich Filmklassiker wie Metropolis, Die Nibelungen, Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari, Der blaue Engel, Die Drei von der Tankstelle, Münchhausen, Große Freiheit Nr. 7 und Helden von Regisseuren wie Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, Fritz Lang, Ernst Lubitsch, Detlef Sierck, Helmut Käutner und Wolfgang Staudte.

  5. Listening to it now. Well done, Thor! Well done indeed!

    Is Moroder really that big anymore? I mostly assossiate him with the late 70s and the 80s. I also always saw him as songwriter in the first place. Film scoring I always saw has his secondary occupation. He didn't release anything new in quite a long time. New material began to surface rather recently.

    I think Moroder is having some sort of renaissance these days, and not only because of the world tour, but especially after his work with Daft Punk a couple of years ago. For his new album, Deja Vu, he gets to work with a lot of big, contemporary acts.

    However, JMJ never sought him out for his electronica project (as far as I know), which is a bit weird.
    I am extremely serious.
  7. Maybe not everyone JMJ contacted was interested in participating?

    That's a possibility. Would be curious to know if he ever approached people like Harold Faltermeyer, Jan Hammer, Vangelis or more contemporary electronica gurus like Paul Oakenfold, Moby, Juno Reactor (i.e. Ben Watkins) etc.
    I am extremely serious.
  8. Who's going to feature on Electronica 2 anyway, beyond Hans Zimmer?

    From what we know so far -- Zimmer, Gary Numan and David Lynch(!). I'm sure more will be announced eventually.
