    A space opera playlist. Interesting.
    That would make a great subset of my SciFi playlist.
    Thanks! I'm inspired! (And I liked how you snuck Jeff Wayne in there biggrin )

    The score of a documentary from 1957. Re-recording on Chandos. It's beautiful.

    I maintain two "Western" playlists that also don't stick to film music exclusively. They contain some C&W songs as well as tracks like APACHE by The Shadows.

    Blasphemy, dude! angry
    I even removed Barry's Midnight Cowboy from my Western playlist when I finally saw the movie.
    With pain in my heart as it's such a gorgeous theme... But it ain't a western...

    I go for the "feel" of a track rather than its strict category. I'll have themed playlists, like 'action', 'romantic', 'uplifting', etc. with selections from all sorts of genres in each. It seems odd not to include something that sounds so right for the playlist just on technical grounds? Of course if it's an action playlist, say, chances are most will be from action films. But I might also include things from horror films, dramas, documentaries, events, whatever - as long as the track is action-y.

    That music from around the 2.20 mark isn't to a scene of a cowboy riding the prairies wink

    For more abstract concepts like "action" that certainly works (and I do the same), but for more literal-themed play lists it just won't work for me. I have a "vampire" play list, but I'm not just putting any old track in there because it sounds 'vampirey'(whatever the hell that would be. Meat Loaf's 'Bat Out Of Hell'? ).
    In the same vein if I would have a playlist (which I don't) called 'Action MOVIES', I wouldn't put any documentary racks in there (although I might very well fit it into an 'ACTION' playlist).

    It's just all to do with a certain amount of unity I use play lists for.

    I also have MUCH more generic playlists that just say "film" or "TV", which are a complete free-for-all jumble of tracks I happen to like. A sort of super sampler.

    I'd love to use that as a "proper" western backing track, and see who notices. wink

    Ah, good point. Still, I could probably work with 'vampirey'. Dark, creepy, elegant, sultry, etc. I tend to prefer the abstract approach, dare I say a concept playlist. (Ugh.) It's all about the feel of it, man.
  16. NP: War of the Worlds alien (2005) - John Williams

    I just saw the film and I am now listening to the score for the first time in ages. It's kind of "Williams meets Hermann". Not a pleasant listening experience and how could it be? It certainly is a highly accomplished score with all the finesse you expect from the maestro.
    Some nice JAWS references here.

    Jaws references? uhm Aside from 'scary monster, impeding doom', I've never noticed any references to Jaws (why would he?),

    That's...thats not really a reference. That's hardly a nod. It's circumstantial.

    • CommentTimeMay 31st 2015
    Like Jaws, War of The Worlds has some Stravinsky influences, I think this is the only connection.

  22. Music from JAWS was used on location and I bet it was temped. This is not Stravinsky, this is Williams citing Williams.

    Google informs me that 'during the filming of the underwater scenes Spielberg played a prank on Cruise and Fanning by playing the music from Jaws through the massive underwater speakers' (to paraphrase the quote).

    That's hardly used in the way you're implying.

    Lincoln John Williams

    According to Daniel Day Lewis, Spielberg whistled the Superman theme on set while they were filming an intimate father/son scene. I can definitely hear the references to it in this score. Excellent.

    Not sure, if it was only a prank. But anyhow, the general likeness of the music we hear during the basement scene to suspense music in JAWS reminded me of certain scenes in the shark film. It probably boils down to the fact that the same composer is addressing comparable situations.
    I like to play the "this-reminds-me-of" game. But it is always highly subjective.
