That heart-rendering scene where Al's dog, ruthlessly gunned down by Tortilla Man, dies in its owner's arms is scored magnificently by the clever use by the director of "The Never-Feast" by John Williams.
Picture it. *tear*

You know you've already heard Aliens. Every human from a modern society has heard it!! "Bishop's Countdown" at the very least. It's the most used piece of score in movie trailers.
The end of Die Hard uses Aliens, perfectly I might add.
I thought it was far from perfect! Maybe only a film score freak would notice (though I'm not sure) but it's as if you suddenly leave one film and join another, given how different it is from Kamen's score.
I feel that's why it worked. It conveyed the implication that Al loosing his gun on someone was truly a world-spinning, life-changing, mind-blowing, revolutionary unfolding event in the character's life. Al shooting his gun?? Worlds end! Seasons clash! Stars burst! Composers change!
See my point?
Yes, but I don't agree with it.

Fair enough. All is cool. *high five*

Does anyone know the album Le derniere testament by Horner? I have never even heard of the music, nor about the film it was written for. Is it any good? -

This score is really good. The albums released in the past were all bootlegs. (Intrada, Varese,...
)
Here's a link to the end credits: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=ch3v9M0TXpY -

Do you mean Testament? Released with In Country on a Romanian promo? I love that score! So charming and disarmingly innocent!!!''The mandate, as well as the benefit, of responsibility is the ability to tell when one can afford to be irresponsible.'' - Me -

I missed one for 8 GBP on Sunday due to an internet breakdown.... But actually I am not that sad because it is also a CD-R promo, at least that's what they say in the description. -

Can anyone recommend three or four tracks from "Legend of the Fall"? I've grown tired of giving this score a chance.
Southall has said over at MMUK that rumor is Horner is off
"Avatar". I hope this is either a joke, or not true, because otherwise it would be HUGELY disappointing.The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -

I recommend the whole damn thing... one of Horner's great achievements... but if you only want to hear 4 tracks...
- The Ludlows
- To The Boys...
- Samuel's Death

Thanks Erik. Listened to each one all the way without any skipping (except one of them). The results:
- The Ludlows
Failed.
- To The Boys...
It ws okay, but I just don't feel the need to hear it ever again.
- Samuel's Death
Stopped 2:06 in; if I can't enjoy the first two minutes, then there is no point in listening to the rest.
- Alfred/Tristan/The Colonel/The Legend...
Twelve minutes and eightteen seconds of nothing.The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else. -

It's obvious you were spinning something else because "Failed" and "Twelve minutes and eighteen seconds of nothing" should never be associated with one of the best scores ever composed!

It's just something I heard a while back. Hopefully there's no truth in it - it looks like it may have been just that, a rumour, since obviously nobody else has heard it.
As for Legends of the Fall, The Ludlows is my favourite track, though much like Erik I love the whole lot. -

Certainly one of the best I have. Though for someone who enjoys the music of Knight Rider and pre-Back To The Future Silvestri, what can we expect?

Not to worry, if Horner doesn't do it Silvestri will and he'll be working from a Horner temp trackOn Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

NO NO NO!!
Horner can't be off AVATAR. That is the only movie and score I'm having so much hope for being totally incredible, he cannot do this.
