    Before this turns into a long discussion which confuses subject matter and core of argument, there IS no such thing as something that is "rightfully disliked by many".

    Except wet socks
    Bach's music is heartless and robotic.
  1. I love wet socks.

    Is G.I. JANE 'rightfully disliked by many'? It's my impression that both film and score are widely LIKED (or at least that reception was mixed). I know that within my own circle of 'film buddies', the movie is appreciated as a typical example of Scott's feminist cinema.


    To be the devil's advocate, I watched it years ago, I don't remember a thing, but my memories aren't all too warm. I somehow remember is as one of Ridley's lesser efforts, however, it might compare favorably to Prometheus as I haven't seen a Scott film that wouldn't compare favorably to Prometheus biggrin

    That's one thing. Another thing is that how could many people exactly know this score well, when it wasn't really officially released? Is there anything available outside of bootlegs?

  4. Yes, There's this one, 3 cues by Jones, 2 long suites holding basically everything worth hearing (IMO).

    I had the pleasure to interview Trevor during Fimucite!

    If interested have a gander at: https://soundtrackworld.com/2018/02/tre … interview/
  5. I didn't realise until recently that Trevor Jones was from Cape Town and now lives in South Africa again. Has he ever written any scores for films set in Africa or written any score whichs have an African feel in orchestration? I'd be keen to check them out if he has, any help appreciated!

    I don't think so, which is a bit weird.
    I am extremely serious.

    Didn't he spend most of the time of his career in London?
  6. I believe so but I read that he has now returned to Cape Town. Does anyone know if he's officially retired or if he still sometimes takes assignments he has a particular interest in?

    Not really. As far as I know the native and white respective cultural spheres in South Africa are still very much separated. So a white South-African artist isn't necessarily more likely to associate himself with African culture than any other artist anywhere outside Africa.

    Bach's music is vibrant and inspired.

    I believe he's more or less retired from film scoring (especially high profile feature film assignments), but keeping busy as a teacher and educator in music.
    I am extremely serious.
  8. I hear he's teaching How to Be a Grumpy Curmudgeon Who Doesn't Work with Specialty Score Labels 101.
    The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else.

    John du Prez's real name is Trevor Jones. I guess everyone already knows that.

    ...because he owns a label of his own?
