    I prefer the longer Close Encounters though, for sure.


    I like both.

    As for E.T., though I'm glad to have both, the original MCA recording is quite simply unbeatable!

    All five of those scores are personal favourites, proper desert island material. None of them work better in 2 disc format for me.

    It's not about "works better" (I haven't yet found a score that works better as an album in complete form, although I always prefer my edited-down complete scores to an album producer's, oddly enough), it's about whether it works at all.


    Ah. That is indeed an important distinction, which I had missed. It goes without saying that Empire Strikes Back works as a 2CD set.

    CONAN, EMPIRE and KRULL

    Not sure about any other mentions.


    How 'bout El Cid?

  4. I must say that while I listen to Golden Age rarely, I can't imagine the scores being presented differently than complete and chronological releases. While the length, ironically, may be the reason why I listen to them rarely, when I do, I want to appreciate the genius of the scores.

    I might not prefer a complete release, but I definitely prefer when the program is actually chronological, so at least I'd have a glimpse at how the material develops.

    My favorite non-chronological and incomplete score programming on album (though mind you, not my favorite album itself) must be The Last Samurai. The album has cues that in the film are all over the place (in fact maybe three-four could be regarded as scene-specific), but the way it's carefully changed around tells the film's story better than the film does itself. While the score may be overbearing in the film at times (which is another matter) is not, actually, the score's fault.

    I love development of themes and their functional arcs. Back to Golden Age, I think that a 30-minute pre-programmed selection would do little justice to how meticously constructed the music is. And if anyone is interested in how the Hollywood model developed, it has to be considered in full.

    Fair enough, but this particular question was about whether any scores work at all in 2-CD form. Yep, I'll insist on these slight semantic differences until the cows come home. tongue

    "The thing about The Imperial March in Empire is that no two versions are the same. That's what make Williams so damn good, the theme so damn good and that score so damn good. He didn't cheap out one bit on that score. Each and every FUCKING version of The Imperial March is splendid and most welcome to these ears."

    Nicely said Erik.
    That should be carved in stone somewhere! punk

    Last year, Oscar-winning composer Michael Giacchino recorded his score to the new dramatic-comedy, This Is Where I Leave You. Directed by Shawn Levy, recording of the score took place at the Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Bros., and the film opened this past Friday, September 19th. ScoringSessions.com is pleased our readers photos from the session!

    Enjoy!

    You're kidding! Right!?? uhm

    I like The Core, Young did a Jerry Goldsmith on this ( as in great score for a crappy movie ) but it is tiresome to sit all the way through.


    Ah, the CORE too. And Conan. And Arnold's Godzilla. And Independence Day . You're right.

    Cutthroat: no, overkill
    LOTR expanded: noooooooooooooo
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
  12. Arnold's ID4 and Godzilla but Cutthroat is overkill? confused

    I'm excited for the inevitable super-sappy scenes ala Cloud Atlas which receive super-sappy Lost-ish music from Giacchino. I love that sort of thing. biggrin I loved Cloud Atlas but I think Giacchino can do that sort of thing even better.

    Steven, go away. cool
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    The Jupiter Ascending soundtrack will be out on (I believe) 30th January, and the cover and tracklist can be seen by clicking the link.

    Oh, and it's two discs!

    In addition, Michael's recent piano concert piece, "Composition 430" will be available on CD from 14th February, and it also features music by John Williams, Alexandre Desplat, Bruce Broughton, Don Davis and Randy Newman.

    Yeah, I've been waiting for that last one for more than a year now. Not for the Giacchino, as you can imagine, but for Williams' "Conversations", his first concert piece for his primary instrument since his very first concert piece -- the piano sonata in 1951.
