[Closed] Now Playing - Part XXI

NP:AVP-REQUIEM

There's a limit in my ears for so many and so agressive action music, and this score really cross the line.

Anyway, the action music is good, the most atmospheric side is effective and the previous scores homenages are great!

Good, but I need a couple more of coffes to enjoy it.

NP AVP:R - Brian Tyler

Huge, HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, HUGE!

No restraint here... which is what I liked about the first three Alien scores and Predator. But I guess this is just one big action scene after another. No need for a good script... just throw the Aliens and Predator on screen and let them fight it out.

What I do like is that finally a composer manages to keep the spirit of the two film franchises alive by hinting at themes and orchestrations from the 6 of the previous scores (Alien, Aliens, Alien3, Alien Resurrection, Predator and Predator 2) yet not completely ripping them off... while at the same time using his own sound to round everything off. A wonderful homage to the great scores that came before AVP2 and finally an excellent score from a struggling composer! Well done!

I think it's really cute!

Far better than the Linda Ronstadt & James Ingram version - which, unfortunately, I have to admit, I bought as a 12" single waaaay back:

Erik, what did you think of Track 4? I nearly laughed my lungs out when I heard the sound bit. I could almost hear the warp drive activated...

Secretary of All Things Trek

For a second, it almost sounds like that intro to that famous signature sequence in Star Trek VI, but then it becomes Trek II, indeed. What a ride. I love it.

Secretary of... ah, well, enough for today.

I´ve never heard Timeline (neither the one nor the other). It seems it is about Time... muhahar

Both timlines scores are worth to listen. Specilly Goldsmith's one.

AVP2....It's good, very good...but 77 minuts is too much. I choose Aliens or Resurrection.

To say nothing of that pretty literal rip from I, ROBOT in 'Decimation Proclamation' (the only track I've heard - go to 6mins). Is this what we've come to? Action music that's basically a packaging of greatest aggressive rhythmic techniques from other recent films?

No score of such a kind as AVP2 is every too much!

JAMES NEWTON HOWARD - Peter Pan

Some gorgeous themes, some good action passages, some very generic moments too but it all keeps the balance i guess. Overall it is a very effective adventure score, albeit unoriginal. I guess the same can be said about his TREASURE PLANET to which i was listening this morning but i don't seem to prefer over PETER PAN though.

Any sound clips? I would've used the ones provided at the other (and now defunct) forum, but I never got around to listening to them.

Im glad you are so happy, seriously, but you tend to be too exited for some composers. You are more a fan boy than a objective listener.

But..ey! Long life to Fan boys!!! they are really the people who love the music!

Said that...it's a good and dissonant score, terrific action music and a effective tone, but...We don't have to overrate this score. We have heard this kind of things before and we will have this a lot of times after.

And..the main theme is frizzel's resurrections theme!

NP:AVP2 (tyler)

Enjoying it very.But Again Tyler is only an action composer..What about an strongest theme to put all this stuff together?? What about a little bit more of structure???

I've heard a few people talk about this, but I've tried to find it and haven't had any luck. Is it an international release that isn't readily available in the US?

I've ordered my airline ticket!

Seriously though, is there someplace you know of online that's selling it? I've only tried Amazon, BN and buysoundtrax, but I honestly don't know where to look for obscure soundtracks.
