    Back to the Future III - Alan Silvestri

    One of the more 'interesting' album layouts to come ever.

    Yes... it is. "Stealing The Enterprise" beats the pants off of EVERYTHING Giacchino wrote! There's about 6 Trek scores that are ahead of Giacchino's effort!

    -Erik-


    That's true, and is quite remarkable really. For a series featuring some considerably-less-than-great films, scored by no fewer than six different composers, to feature such strong music - I'm one of those who thinks Giacchino's score is good, and it's incredible that there are six (maybe even 7) scores in the same eleven-film series which I like even more.

    GODS AND MONSTERS | carter burwell

    Missing out a concert of Burwell (in Tenerife) is painful. This score is one of his best imo. It contains two really good melodies, one is a very gentle mostly piano driven theme that sometimes leads to a dark and twisted sound, and the other one is a recognizable Burwell theme, with a quirky edge.


    A really fine score.


    Is it as good as IN BRUGES?
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    I've never heard IN BRUGES, but I regard GODS as one of Burwell's best. I sometimes show scenes from the film in music-for-film classes.

    NP: Star Trek III - James Horner

    A much much more enjoyable listen than Giacchino's effort.


    By light years!!!

    that's not true.

    FACT!

  12. Also FACT:

    Even Horner's blatant rip off of the beginning of "Stealing the Enterprise" is still better -- just that one part of the cue.



    (having also comparred it to the piece it lifts from, I have to say I much prefer Horner's tighter, more interesting take. As a side note)
    The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else.
  13. The Rock - Glennie-Smith, Zimmer, Gregson-Williams

    If one score defines the overall MV sound, The Rock is totally it, with very likeable themes and powerful adrenaline-pumping excitement. I still like it a lot, though it doesn't have the staying power of Zimmer's more refined scores, it remains big fun. And with very few boring moments.

  14. Funny, I usually assign the composer credit for The Rock to Hans Zimmer: mainly because at the time I bought this when it originally came out, Zimmer was the only one I had really heard of.

    Does anyone know if there are specific tracks that are composed by specific composers? Or is it just a collaborative effort throughout?

  15. I really don't know but would like to know too. I think it's mainly a Zimmer effort, like everything was at the time.

    You can find the names of the composers working on each individual cue of the film here, the fourth post - http://www.hans-zimmer.com/forum/viewth … p?tid=5065

    It's the film cue list though, not the soundtrack tracklisting.

    Star Trek (Deluxe Edition) - Michael Giacchino

    There's quite a few goodies in this deluxe release!
    This is a fun score that is quite enjoyable on the most part.
    However, as has been said by others, it's simply a GOOD score. Not a truly GREAT score!
    I see the scores for ST: The Motion Picture, ST2: The Wrath of Khan and ST3:The Search for Spock as superior scores in every way!
    Giacchino's music is fine. But lacks the majesty of Goldsmith's masterpiece.
    Giacchino's Spock theme is very good! I really like it. But I prefer Horner's composition (as with Eidelman's).
    The closest Giacchino gets to the true "feel" of Star Trek is in "That New Car Smell". The chords in that cue create a grand version of the Kirk theme that's truer to the original Trek score sound.
    Having said all that, I do like the score and look forward to what might come next time around!

    NP:The A-team (Silvestri)

    Some composers doesn't know how compose a decent theme anymore.

    GI joe was more enjoyable and less electronic ( dizzy )

    M:I3 is still the best way to put an original theme in a new score.

    I remember I asked the very same question to Nick Glennie-Smith in Soncinemad 2006 and he responded: 'I did the major work'

    Yes, and Zimmer says the main theme is by him, and Nick says the same thing tongue

    No. But he said that in a interview in the past.
  23. One of the main themes (The Opening Titles) is by Hans, there is one more by him (Hummel's Speech). The rest is by Nick, so they could have meant two different melodies.

  24. Alan Silvestri - The A-Team

    Better than G. I. Joe for sure. I also prefer it to Beowulf, which was one of the biggest disappointments of the last decade to me... To me it's his best score for years? That said, I haven't heard A Christmas Carol yet.
