[Closed] Now Playing XXXII

Final Destination will work perfectly in the movie, but this guy must seriously start getting his act together, because this is even worse than Horner, this is repeating entire scores

The Final Destination doesn't have the same sound than other Tyler scores. it's not so "busy" in orchestrations. I can't compare it with Darkness falls or The Hunted. In fact it's like if Tyler tried to addapt his style to the Shirley Walker sound.

But I'm surprised to read this comments from you, because what you are saying is what I said months ago and You had a terrible discussion with me about this.

I have been saying Tyler was very near to self plagiarism since Timeline-Children of Dune-Darkness Falls- Annapolis. Scores where the main themes was far too similiar. He needs to fine better tunes, and leave so heavy orchestrations aside.

Being said that, and even with his "problems", I like Tyler.

I am talking about his last 2 years specifically. There were traits of this in his earlier scores but he had too much things going on musically that separated each from the other. The last 2 years though, with the exception of THE LAZARUS PROJECT and BANGKOK DANGEROUS (Each having a somewhat unique sound) he's been doing exactly the same thing over and over again.

ERNEST GOLD - Exodus, 2009 Edition Tadlow Music released in September 9, 2009.

Words fail me when i come to describe such a masterpiece.

It's ridiculously, beyond-words good.

But of course i've heard it, it's a classic. But i haven't played the cd for way long now. Words fail me, really; and this one here is a great representation of the material in brilliant sound quality.

MIKLOS ROZSA - king of kings

Talking about brilliant classic themes and scores.

It's brilliant, every bit of it, believe me you did right!

Man oh man, why you torture yourself like this? Go and listen to your Star Wars anthology dammit. A year passed by and it's collecting dust? But you can listen to crap without a moment's pause??? I feel for you dude.

Ottman's score to Orphan is something I shall NOT be returning to in a hurry!

NP: "Meet Van Zan" - Reign of Fire - Edward Shearmur

It's more a no than a yes! There were more interesting tracks and I'm not usually too keen on cues that are compositions that have an out-and-out structure to them (structure as in being something like a waltz, etc.)...though I'm sure I can come up with exceptions to this.

Nope!

My classical music tastes tend to be towards baroque.

NP: Star Trek Volume 2 - Various Artists
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra; cond. by Fred Steiner

I haven't seen too many original Star Trek television episodes but I managed to catch one this evening and I glad I watched it in its entirely. The episode was "Mirror, Mirror" - a parallel universe episode. It was a solid episode that was superbly scored by Fred Steiner. I'm not too familiar with original Trek TV scores either so I'm glad my first real impression was made with this episode. Steiner composed a wonderful, large scale score anchored by a delicious, menacing and memorable 7 note theme for the alternate universe that is heard in the opening track in this just under 9 minute re-recorded suite brilliantly performed by the Royal Philharmonic. It's a spectacular recording by engineer Peter Bown that hard pans the brass to the extreme right and the horns to the extreme left. This is a technique that I love and have associated with Eric Tomlinson recordings. It gives the orchestra room to breathe yet makes them sound bigger and bolder. There is also a lovely love theme associated with Kirk and his alternate universe girlfriend. Steiner's score is really, really good and I wish there was more available!
