Don't die, thread.  I recently had an out of the blue thought about "From Hell," the 2001 Johnny Depp-lead Jack the Ripper movie based on the graphic novel and decided to check out the score for it and found it to be pretty decent. It's done by Trevor Jones and while it's not particularly remarkable it has some neat touches to it and overall serves as nice background with some gothic horror vibes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7P2jLPaaKE I really like the opening of this track how it uses an (anachronistic for the film) gramophone sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ciY9UbPhgQ As for Trevor Jones, we mustn't forget his theme for Cliffhanger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFw2Mu1CPtk Stare-Out fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Jan 4, 2024 |

The podcast Art of the Score is back after an almost 3 year hiatus. Diving into Interstellar’s score in this latest episode. Good stuff.

checkplease posted:The podcast Art of the Score is back after an almost 3 year hiatus. Diving into Interstellar’s score in this latest episode. Good stuff. Hell yeah, I really dig this podcast and was pretty bummed when they stopped recording. They inspired me to buy the full score of Back To The Future. I got the vibe that they weren't the biggest Hans Zimmer fans so I'm curious to hear what they think about Interstellar, which I actually love (score and film).

They seem to prefer Zimmers older works l guess as they have been doing live shows/concerts on him in Australia. But they definitely love interstellar at least and all the layering.

Was watching Aliens the other day and something in my brain clicked. Do you think that John Williams was invoking a bit of James Horner with this piece from Revenge of the Sith? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ossn_cc6SyQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpW2AjQbdbs It's not a 1:1 but am I onto something here? It's not like Williams hasn't done it before. The maim theme from The Lost World takes liberal influences from Jarre's overture to Lawrence of Arabia.

The sequence in Star Wars where that track is used had an extended animatic version (with music and sound effects) included with the movie's blu ray release. What's notable about it is that the sequence uses temp sound effects (because the previs was done before the movie was even filmed, so of course there wouldn't be any new sounds available yet), but the music is actually from the movie itself. So it seems the music was added later to replace whatever temp tracks they were using during previs that Lucasfilm didn't own the rights to... which could very well have been from Aliens, with Williams keeping a similar vibe when it came time to score the sequence for real.

oh hey I've never noticed this thread. here are some fabulous scores I've heard in the last ~month or so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDv0rdCsZXY Michael Nyman - Fish Beach - Man on Wire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndasBUpI9WY Jóhann Jóhannsson - Heptapod B - Arrival https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il2mxFFhtQk Craig Safan/Tangerine Dream - Confrontation - Thief https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xstDHnfeK2o&t=1354s Mark Isham - Silver Spoon (at 22:34) - Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Hearing Jóhannson again kinda rubs in how badly we got cheated with Zimmer's tacky electric guitars and ululating in the new Dune soundtrack

Started thinking about Ryuichi Sakamoto again today and remembering his music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGs_vGt0MY8 I don't know much of his catalog outside of Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, The Last Emperor, Royal Space Force or The Revenant, but they all share the distinction of being films I've seen only once yet I distinctly remember the music even years after the fact. I miss him.

I've brought it up before but Jóhansson's score for The Theory of Everything is really good and such a departure from other stuff he did like Sicario which came out only a year later. I don't mind Zimmer at all but yeah, I'm super curious as to what Jóhansson would've done with Blade Runner 2049 and Dune.Cacator posted:I'd kill to hear what he did for Blade Runner, even though I do like the Zimmer/Wallfisch score (wtf is up with that end song though?) The Blade Runner 2049 score is great, the album is not because while I have nothing against a bit of Elvis and Sinatra I just want to listen to the score. I mean it's not a big deal but the fact that I had to make a playlist for score only irks me a bit. And yeah not a fan of the ending song either.

Yeah but it doesn't gel with the rest is all. I listen to it to immerse myself in the atmosphere and suddenly getting Elvis and Sinatra rips me right out of it.

We need to go back to the old ways of having a separate score album and a "Music from and inspired by" compilation.

I disagree only because back in 1997 I thought I was buying the Danny Elfman score for Men In Black and got this  (Not my picture, it's from ebay) It does have the Will Smith song and two Danny Elfman tracks.

They really should have more alien representation on that soundtrack, but I guess that's just how it was in the '90s.

E: I also have the 1998 Godzilla soundtrack that was "music inspired by" that only had two David Arnold tracks on it. I learned my lesson then. Plus the tracklisting on that album made absolutely no loving sense. Though I still contend that the Puff Daddy song was kind of rad.

I love John Woo and will defend M:I2 to the death but man that sound track opens with the Limp Bizkit/Metallica one-two punch and woof...

Oh hey, this thread still exists! Not usual fare, but I’ve really enjoying Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch’s score for ‘All of Us Strangers’. Ethereal ambient, very ponderous. It’s become great ‘driving around late at night’ music for the vibes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jozfm7NSd8Y

So this is coming out on November 1st https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrTTTxiuER8 Seems like it's at least partly one of those wankfest docs with a lot of talking heads going on about how brilliant the subject is but even so I have never seen a documentary about John Williams so maybe it's worth checking out.

Sure but my point is that I know he's brilliant and by all means give me a documentary about him and his work but let him talk about it. I don't need it to be mostly about other people gushing over him, you know? Even so I'll watch it because John Williams loving changed my life but still.
