First was Zimmer, and then it was like a chain reaction: Goldsmith, Horner, Williams, Silvestri, etc etc.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

Yep, I´m sure that in a "top 10 film music getaway" ranking, Goldsmith - Williams - Zimmer - Horner - Barry - Bernstein would be in all the lists.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

It's cool that JURASSIC PARK is everyone's gateway to film music. I was 16 years old when it came out in 1993, and although I had already been aware of film music for a couple of years and begun to explore it, the dino score was the real kick-off for me!
I'm probably amongst very few ( at least on this board ) where Williams wasn't my gateway into film music ( John Barry's Bond scores were ) though JAWS is one of the earliest scores I bought and the first purely film score I saw being promoted in record store windows, such was the MASSIVE impact of the films release at that time.
I would say that JAWS, STAR WARS, SUPERMAN, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and JURASSIC PARK were film score gateways for many of todays fans.
Tim, were you at all keen on TV themes prior to your coveted Bond scores?
The reason I ask is that, for me my first score purchase was Star Wars, and I considered this my "gateway" into film music. But there was all these TV themes as well as movies on TV that must have caught my attention that led to me being primed to appreciate Williams' score when I heard it.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

I'm absolutely from the same mold as you alan.
From a very young age I was aware of TV and film music, I just didn't know it was available to buy? All record stores that I knew were just full of the usual Pop and Classical albums, the very first film score related item I ever bought was John Barry's theme to The Persuaders which became a hit UK single, listening to the last few moments of the B-side The Girl With The Sun In Her Hair convinced me I was listening to the same guy who wrote James Bond music and, of course, I was right. My next purchase was Geoff Love's Bond Movie Themes and from there there was no stopping me. Next purchase was the original soundtrack for Goldfinger and the rest, as they say, is history!

You're absolutely right, Marselus. JURASSIC PARK (and to a certaint extent being a latecomer to STAR WARS) was MY gateway into film music, after first having loved prog rock and electronic music, but Zimmer was close behind. Furthermore, THE ROCK has become to young (20 year olds) what STAR WARS was to the 1977 generation. Both that score in particular and Zimmer himself needs to be applauded for that!I am extremely serious. -

I wish they could be bought on CD, I'd love to hear them all again, in particular, his Great War Movie Themes which I remember being quite faithful to the originals.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -
