Bach is technically masterful, but there's no heart in his music. It's like listening to music composed by an A.I. - cold, clean, clinical, emotionless.
Probably wasn't a good idea to post this.Bach's music is heartless and robotic. -

His music was very personal, but I can understand this point as this is a more general problem I tend to have with baroque music.http://www.filmmusic.pl - Polish Film Music Review Website -

I don't get anything out of Bach either but I had to perform him all the time in college. My teachers were aghast when I said I didn't care for him, haha. -

Actually, Bach's music is rather similar to the action music I decry in my original post - technically flawless, but bland.Bach's music is heartless and robotic. -

Oh, thanks for reminding me. INTO BATTLE from VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER by David Arnold is great action music!
To each his own but I would've picked something from the 3 Emmerich scores as an example of a great Arnold action cue.
Goldsmith: one of his most ferocious and downright enjoyable action scores: King Solomon's Mines. And so much more of course.
Silvestri: Predator and its sequel. And Eraser.
Zimmer: the three combo homerun that is Crimson Tide, Broken Arrow and The Peacemaker.
Horner: Krull is his action masterpiece, never bettered."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

Thanks for the recommendations, guys!Bach's music is heartless and robotic. -

How do we go two pages with examples of action music and nobody mentions Goldsmith's The Hijacking?

Well that is a given, naturally. But King Solomon's Mines deserves as much credit IMO, as does Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rambo III. And definitely The Mummy."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

As long as we're talking Goldsmith, I actually made a playlist of his "setpiece" tracks (not necessarily the main themes), many of which are action showstoppers. I did a thread on this once, and you can find the playlist there:

I'm sure one could compile a playlist that lasts an entire day with all those stupendous action cues the man has written. I think he's the supreme action composer. Not even Williams can touch his waist (most definitely his knees, but not much higher than that)."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

Wow.
I think even Thor will like Valerian. I haven't heard a Desplat score that sounds remotely like what he composed for this. Wow.Bach's music is heartless and robotic. -

I'll check it out. Where are you guys listening to this? I can only find two tracks on Spotify, and they didn't do much for me.I am extremely serious. -
- CommentTimeJul 19th 2017
I'm listening to it on YouTube. Recently, the record labels have been releasing full scores there, and not pursuing any kind of copyright dispute against other channels that release full scores. I wonder if it generates enough publicity that it actually helps album sales, or if they've realized that it will essentially kill the pirating industry if there's legal copies available for free.Bach's music is heartless and robotic. -

OK. Youtube sucks as a music player, but it's OK for sampling, I guess.I am extremely serious. -
