[Closed] Now Playing - Part XXI

I was exaggerating, yeah, but to show something else. I don't think that Tyler's voice is very distinct and even if it was, I don't think I'd want to get through his cliche chord progressions (AVP 2, Frailty, Darkness Falls) or temp-track (Greatest Game Ever Played) ridden material, to get through it, because not only I think he loves doing just that (doesn't demand much work and, indeed, talent), but I also wonder if he really *deserves* it, because no Tyler material made me jump off my socks yet. I had that problem with Giacchino (then again, I adored Medal of Honor and liked all his works by then), until I found a very *distinct* voice of his and Powell almost immediately started with his own style. With Rambo I have this feeling of a guy very happy to rip Goldsmith off, this time legally. Yes, I would be very happy and passioned if I could rewrite my favorite composers and even get paid for it! Pretty big money.

So sorry, unless Tyler does something that leaves me completely in awe and jaw-dropped I will be a nay-sayer who will wonder if the man not only is as great as people say he is, but if he's even got the talent to do it. Harsh? Maybe. But I've listened to film scores for 12 years already and I dare to say that I've never before encountered a composer who would be so praised and get so many work and everything I could give him is being able to orchestrate. As I said, nothing big is needed to rip off the temp-track or use a four-chord progression like he did in e.g. Paparazzi. I will be so harsh, because after my listenings to this composer, I think I have the right to this opinion.

Perhaps my favorite Trevor Jones score.

NP: Once Upon A Forest - James Horner

Perhaps my favourite of his many animation ventures during the late 80's/early 90's and one which I always find myself humming. The main theme is gorgeous as usual and of course the score was written around one of Horner's best periods.

'Been playing it all morning too!

Pure Vangelis geniality I'd say.

What's wrong guys?!Does Hermes have a reversed course and causes controversy?I see that for the past few hours I was away you had a lot of, let's say,"spirited" discussions!Damn, I missed the "fun" again! Just kidding!
Some thing to calm things down then!
NP: Finding Neverland ~Jan A.P. Kaczmarek
Beautiful,lyrical and uplifting because after all when you don't think about themes,motifs and so on music is just all about that!Lifting you high!

It's Brian Tyler not Hermes

Nope, Of couse not. Because Zimmer was too busy with Gladiator.

A lot of cues from M:I2 are from another composers (Said By Badelt in one interview).

Anyway, Injection and Seville are pretty damn good tracks!

And when it comes to Aliens, I must admit to not having heard the Frizzell score.

I just love this score - particularly the main title theme. I have to admit though that this score went way up on my "greatest score list" after having Chris whistle this theme to me whilst drumming out the rhythm on the table of the SONCINEMAD festival hotel bar table.

One of the greatest moments ever!

For me, that's very much just down to personal feeling and taste. As long as the recognisable parts you hear feel fresh, it's a voice. If you go like, 'oh, already heard this before somewhere...", it's repetition. Also, the voice very much is in the sound, use of the orchestra and such, the repetition is in the composition / the writing itself, I think.

Thanks! It sounds obvious when I'm reading this back but it's good to have it highlighted and it's something I'll be considering when I'm listening in future.

NP: Pearl Harbor Complete - Zimmer
Only heard this once before and I'd forgotten how good it is compared to the commercial version!

Yep! It was me

At the moment I'm playing the more digestable Silva re-recording.
