  1. I don't know, expectations were high after Indy and Star Wars, and he delivered. You're excusing his inability to write like he used to. And no one hand me that "mature" label; it's a mixutre of some things, but laziness is amongst them.


    Feel angry enough now? ;-)
    Well, you you should have heard the phone conversation I had with a film producer over Horner.

    Because of course it's easy as anything to write that 2000s Williams action music, or Horner's "Avatar" or compose a score like Troy in 2 weeks time!
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!
  3. Justin wrote the masterpiece called Symphonette #2, of course he has an idea how easy it is to write something like Zam the Assassin!

  4. I'm not classically trained with 30+ decades of compositional experience, and taught under masters. What's HIS excuse?


    And Horner didn't do "Troy" all by himself.

    It doesn't need to be up there in the ranks with Indy and Star Wars, but I hope it's at least as good as Harry Potter.

    Interesting! Sounds a bit like Harry Potter, without any themes. (Of course, impossible to form any real judgement from short clips.)

    The first cue is pretty much The Knight Bus music from Azkaban. slant

  13. Well I hope themes will be wonderful and be used plenty. I need me some of THAT Williams. It's been too long already.

    Something to add to Williams' long list of 'totally mind-blowing action cues'? Here's hoping!!!

    The sound clips don't really offer anything new. It sounds rather aimless. I hope the "complete" tracks reveal more themes and something new in Williams' repertoire.

    Meh! Racing strings, chirping trumpets, low brass bursts, a few timpani hits... it's all pretty much interchangeable with the majority of action cues Williams has written in the past 5-7 years. It sounds like Crystal Skull left overs.

    Wouldn't you rather have something in the style of the old Williams? I know I do.

    And it's aimless because all we hear is these short snippets that don't tell the larger picture. Of course it will hold together on the album.

    I think so. I found plenty of old-school Williams elements here, in addition to his contemporary stylings.

    There's even an (original?) opera cue in there! Wow.

    I'll leave final judgement until I hear the final album but I hope we don't get something as awful as the "The Jungle Chase" as presented on the commercial album of Crystal Skull. That terrible produced and edited track doesn't do the music Williams composed for that sequence justice!

  20. Well one thing is certain, it already sounds a LOT more interesting than Crystal Skull. I don't think I'll ever be able to get through that album again and stay awake.

    Oh, that would be great because his new, more modern action style rarely does anything for me. The last truly great old school sound action cues Williams wrote were in his last two Potter scores, especially Chamber of Secrets which had a wonderful Temple of Doom vibe to them.

    Yeah... a good two thirds of that album is useless! I have a playlist which includes the complete Jungle Chase (including the alternate last 3 minutes or so of the cue which blows away what is heard on the commerical album) and my own personal edit of the end credits (no Marion's Theme) that does me just fine. It's about 47 minutes and that's all I can pretty much handle from that one!

  23. I like Crystal Skull... maybe two thirds of it, anyway. 'The Call of the Crystal' and its many appearances worked for me.

    Me too. I like most of it. I'd just remove some of the repetition from the album, were I in charge of such things.

    Agree! beer

    As for Tin Tin, I'll wait until I hear it properly, I'm not interested in listening to the sound clips.

    This hadn't occured to me, but you're right! I've enjoyed some of his stuff since (Minority Report, Revenge Of The Sith) but Crystal Skull sound so flat. These clips sound somewhere inbetween.

    At last, a score to get at least mildly excited about!

  29. I'm wondering if he still has it in him to create a truly memorable score to an adventure film again.

    Even if it's half as good as his last score to a Spielberg film then... well... it won't be very good. Crystal Skull was a bit tame as far as Williams goes.

    For once, my expectations for a new Williams score aren't high up in the stratosphere. Though I'm still looking forward to it.
