    He can't be the world's greatest John Powell fan anymore. He hasn't liked most of the recent scores.

    There is one thing I must applaud this composer for though - that brass motif from xXx - so addictive. A shame it's the only real part of the score...synths a-hoy!

    And I resent that! Why must I like everything Powell produces? Horton freaking rules, Kung Fu Panda was great but I'd heard it all before, and Stop Loss was also great but just not my cup of tea. cool

    Though it's mostly all synth, I like that score a lot! The MV style action stuff is terrific! punk

    I wonder what it would look like compared to the team who worked on The Mummy? I'm very interested to know.

    All those orchestrators and yet half of it still sounds like it was produced on an old Yamaha (motorbike or keyboard).

    • CommentTimeJul 29th 2008
    I'm guessing that list encompasses Debney's team too, so maybe that's why it seems a lot? Well, it doesn't seem a lot, it is a lot! dizzy

    When a new composer is hired on board to replace or add extra cues, I would imagine having a large team of orchestrator is an extremely handy thing considering the time restraints. Not that I'm either approving of or indeed disapproving of such a large team for one score.

    Yeah, cause the MV stuff was written by former MV composers.

    Hmm, so Goldsmith needed assitance from one person in a creative sense, and Edelman/Debney needed sixteen. There's a saying about quantity and quality somewhere which would fit here, I'm sure.

    This Bruce Botnick dude should have been given the boot. Man the mix on the album alone is terrible. The choir, ethnic instruments, solo vocals, and even the brass section were all mixed even with the string section (if not lower) and I can't hear any of those clearly which is a shame coz they all could add more depth to the score. Heck, what's the point of recording these instruments for your score if you don't want them to be heard? slant

      CommentAuthorSouthall
    • CommentTimeJul 30th 2008
    Unfortunately that's Edelman's way (not Botnick's! - listen to his Goldsmith scores). I listened to The Mummy 3 yesterday and thought it wasn't bad (obviously it's at the Silvestri end of the scale and not the Goldsmith end when it comes to this franchise), it's just the way it's arranged that's the problem. You've got a great big symphony orchestra there but then most things are doubled-up with big synths which makes everything sound so much smaller. Zimmer does it too, and I will never understand why anyone thinks it's a good idea.

    • CommentTimeJul 30th 2008
    Yeah, I agree with that... but at least like Zimmer mixes solo instruments loud enough in his scores for listeners to hear. The only thing Edelman did right was the Cello bit. Being a big fan of this Erhu thingy I was sorely disappointed to find its sound dissolved with the rest of the sounds... Ah well. slant
  28. John Van Tongeren (MV survivor) : "Also... I spent a month working with Randy Edelman on the score to Sony's summer tentpole movie, The Mummy 3: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor. Pretty exciting stuff."

    There's also something to be said about suddenly needing to write and record over 30 minutes of large epic action music in 5 days, and you'll likely need as many people helping out as possible.
    I consider a project a success when Thor says he won't buy it
