    The novelty wears off long before the end of the album, but it's good fun for a while.

    James' is right. Horner's Land Before Time and Once Around sound eerily similar to Zimmer's Interstellar theme!

    BTW, Horner and Zimmer were inspired by Béla Bartók's The Wooden Prince

    NP: Titanic - James Horner

    I haven't played this score since 2010 but once the first notes of "Never An Absolution" streamed through my speakers all of those wonderful feelings of when I first heard the score in 1997 came back instantly! One of my all time favourite Horner scores!

    Film score perfection!

    You're too young to have 'been there' at the time, Edmund.
    I am extremely serious.
  2. It's not even that I mind pipes - it's just that particular performance seems so shrill and ear-piercing to me. Maybe something about how it's mixed? It seems to be shoved up really close to the mic compared to something like Braveheart.

    There exists a 5.1 DTS mix of the Titanic score that is absolutely incredible. You need to hear it to know how much of an improvement it is. Especially the action music.

    Oh and the score still is in my Horner top 5, loved it from the first spin, and back in the day I spun that one as frequent as you did with TFA. smile

    Not for me. It's not really a 'novelty' either, it's just composed in an idiom I could stay in forever. Also, the album is excellently arranged, with beautiful ebb and flow while also building for a climax. This is -- in short -- my favourite score of the year so far!

    It was only when the Varese deluxe edition came out that I truly started playing this score as it deserved, I always knew it was brilliant from a cinema showing on release but the original Varese album ( released years after the film ) had horrendous sound quality, I don't think I'd ever been as disappointed by an album I'd yearned for so much.

    I've never heard the original album, so it was love at first listen for me! I was relatively young when I first heard this score (I've never seen the film), so I've got nostalgic feeling towards it too. It's great when nostalgia meets something deserving of it!

    I never owned the original album either. My first exposure was the Varese re-issue, so I've never experienced the poor sound. Also, even though it's C&C (I assume), it's not a terrible listen. It isn't expanded by THAT much, anyway. Great score!

  4. Patton - Jerry Goldsmith

    This is a unique score. I don't know that I'm aware of another score that blends meditative, rollicking, and technically arresting music as successfully as this one. I always come back to it for the quiet parts.

    Can you believe I saw the film multiple times ( just so I could hear that score...mostly ). it's rather silly but does have a number of things going for it, great cinematography, very atmospheric and a superbly charming yet sinister turn by a charismatic Sam Neil as Damien Thorn, it wouldn't be a waste of time on some late night TV showing with a few beers.

    From memory I don't believe there's any notable music, if any at all, left off the album.

    Me too. The film only enhances it further.

    I absolutely love the Hard To Starboard cue. It's main action motif had been used by Horner a few times before but never as well as here. The feeling of absolute and utter panic is as clear in the music as it is in the scene it accompanies. Those anvils! Love it.
  5. I would go as far as to say that Horner was never better during 1994-2000. It was his golden era.

    A golden era for many i think. Films and film scores weren't way different in that period, than now.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
