Who Is new Here? / New Members kindly introducing themselves

Thanks for the welcome.

I tend to think either the sky, or the roof.
It really all depends on my postion at the time.

And all welcome

Hello everyone

I'm new to this board. Used to lurk around at scorereviews.com, but never registered or posted anything.
But after listening addictively to Frederic Talgorn's stuff for couple of days and seeing no discussion on this board about him, I felt a strong impulse to say something about him. ---Then there goes my first post. Hopefully there will be many more in the future:)

Hey there, let me introduce myself. I'm the brother of tommy_boy. At one point we were both fanatic about film music, but I have deviated a little, and my interest for new film music has disappeared a lot, for reasons that are too diverse to explain, though I still enjoy and regularly listen to the classic stuff (Williams, Goldsmith, Horner, Zimmer). And I don't normally post a lot on soundtrack related forums, rarely did so in the past, but seeing this is shaping to be like a likeable community I may have something to say now and then.

I particularly enjoy lots of varied musical styles, from orchestral stuff to metal, from solid rock to current dance or pop tunes, I love good vocal performers in most musical styles and I like the music from the 80s a lot. Yes, I am that old!! But I don't give a crap about rap... sorry! It all boils down to: if it sounds catchy, melodic or downright cool, then I can grow to like it. I do have a nice growing selection of Videogame music as well, most of which I enjoy more than the current batch of film scores, but that's just my taste.

Anyway this was my way to saying hello to the community. I may not become the most active poster here, quite the opposite in fact, but if I need to write my opinion I will not hesitate. So cheerio to all, and have a nice christmas.

finally, you arrived
that took time big brother

now welcome into another world, glad to have you here
let the games begin

Welcome DreamTheater

So many of us here have diverse musical taste, check out the 'Now Playing off topic' thread

Why the heck I'm introducing myself, I don't know...

I was a former scorereviews member but was viciously hated for certain views, so I left it behind for good. I spend all my 'film music' related time on the Hornershrine, as a co-administrator of the forum. All that means is I delete would-be spammers.

I'm no fan of film music forums in general, because I hate the levels of snobbery and hatred associated with them. I myself got caught up in that nonsense which was the reason I left scorereviews because I needed to change my tune, so to speak. I read this forum and the FSM forum from time to time, but that's as far as it goes.

All other online time is spent on Home Theater Forum and DVDTalk, as I'm a nut about that stuff.

I enjoy most film music as I hear it, but collect Horner's music primarily.

There are certain styles composers have that I don't like, but that doesn't prevent me from outright ignoring all of said composer's music.

This is all off the top of my head, and I've run out of ideas on what to say....and yes, I do indeed see the irony in my saying that thank you very much.

Hi Nick. Welcome.

It's a shame that your experiences with scorereviews were so negative - hopefully your time here will be better. What part of the world are you from? Just in case I have any home theatre questions...I've always toyed with the idea of investing in a better speaker system but have always talked myself out of it. Maybe it will happen in 2008!

Thank you everyone for the kind words.

Seems no one noticed the minor joke about "running out of things to say". Oh well.

I'm in Canada. Spent 4 months training at a high-end electronics store learning home theater installation.

I have a limited perception of "outsider's " opinions of the Hornershrine, except for a couple of comments on other boards like it being 'creepy' or something. However, compare that to the infamous JWFan board, and Horner fans are NOWHERE near as unreasonably devoted. Not to mention mean, not towards Horner fans, but well, everyone including each other...that's one forum I'll never browse again.

P.S. Not sure if it's relevant, as I don't know how anyone feels about this, but I can indeed hear and enjoy Elfman's 'Spider-Man' themes.

Just wanted to throw that out there.

Well how dare you! There are no themes in Spider-Man, and if there were, they're not very good!



I jest also. Jesting is good, clears the pores... or something. Anyway, welcome t'forum fellow Horner fan!

P.S. Horner is my third favourite composer for film, and I couldn't care less that he reuses themes... I actually enjoy picking them out. I still get excited by each new Horner score.

Just wanted to throw that out there.

Hi There!!

Glad to see this new forum. As a soundtrack fanatic, I was a great fan of the Radio Sountrack F-M website. Looking forward to this forum.

See ya ;-)

Hey, that's my old website, I'm Thomas Glorieux
Glad to have you here

I'm new to maintitles, but I used to be a member of scorereviews. I didn't post often - rarely, in fact - but I liked to browse people's comments. I've started buying film music again so I should - hopefully - have things to comment on in future. Good luck to the new site and thanks to the old site for being there.

djdave from Warrington?

That's right, Alan. Hello, to Bregt and Demetris as well. I've got some stuff on order - some I already know from the films, some I'm taking pot luck with - so I'll give you my thoughts on them.
