Favorite Soundtrack tune:

majorspunk · 12-12-2003, 12:07 AM

Star Blazers - Yamato Arrivederci

Giaguara · 12-12-2003, 12:55 AM

Soundtrack .. as Soundtrack software sound, or soundtrack movie soundtrack sound?

Movie one, probably the Passion/Last Temptation of Christ (Peter Gabriel) or (Klaus Badelt: ) Pirates of the Caribbean or (Clint Mansell: ) Requiem for a Dream.. both soundtracks are great. No Soundtrack (that software) though .. poor me.

majorspunk · 12-12-2003, 01:08 AM

I was thinking Movies/TV shows..

Oh,.. I got a good one you might like: The Red Violin - Joshua Bell

DMBand0026 · 12-12-2003, 02:09 AM

Rent or Les Mis. Both packed full of amazing music. Not a TV show or movie, but incredible none the less.

Daver · 12-12-2003, 08:15 PM

Favourite song from a soundtrack, or score cue?

Conan the Barbarian (Basil Poledouris) is a fun listen, and I've always been a fan of Elliot Goldenthal's unsettling Alien3 score (one of the film's redeeming features).

I didn't enjoy the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack at all — too much generic Badelt/Gregson-Williams/Powell/Zimmer bombast.

lawrence of arabia - maurice jarre

the natural - randy newman

Currently (and currently listening to) "Chateau" from Rob Dougan (Matrix Reloaded). It's from the scene where Neo fights off the Merovingian's henchman in the castle... very cool track.

Wrong Robot · 12-12-2003, 09:15 PM

I really dig the entire Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack.

Trigun Ain't bad neither.

I can see a bit of Zimmer in Badelt since the latter has worked under the former, but I saw no shades of Gregson-Williams and Powell in Pirates. And I hardly find any of them 'bombastic' ... see Chicken Run score.

It's more likely the fault of the typical action flicks that Zimmer is contracted to do work for rather than his own. All that worldly tribal stuff he's done in the past is hardly generic... I don't really like that sort of music though...

As for my own favorite, I don't have one in particular. I like several tracks on each of the following compositions:

Dances With Wolves - John Barry
The Rocketeer - James Horner
Edward Scissorhands - Danny Elfman
Braveheart - James Horner
Legends of the Fall - James Horner
Glory - James Horner
Band of Brothers - Michael Kamen
Dragonheart - Randy Edelman
etc, etc.

Argento · 12-12-2003, 11:53 PM

Glory and The Last of the Mohicians (however it's spelled)

Don't take my comment the wrong way; I appreciate of lot the work put out by the Media Ventures crew. Chicken Run, as you noted, was delightful, and I liked Powell's work on The Bourne Identity as well. I look forward to see what newcomer Badelt will contribute.

The Pirates of the Caribbean score just reminded me of a particular sort of synth-heavy action score that Zimmer and associates sometimes produce — think The Rock.

Blue Shift · 12-13-2003, 12:58 AM

Anyone here into Jerry Goldsmith?

Daver · 12-13-2003, 01:26 AM

Goldsmith's scores are great, especially those from the 70's.

I love his Star Trek—The Motion Picture work to death (although its main theme has been way overplayed by now).

Alien and Total Recall are excellent as well.

Isengard Unleashed in the LotR:TTT score, the portion with the choir beginning around 2:00...rules...until the orchestra features again.

Power Apple · 12-13-2003, 05:56 AM

I'll just mention a few of my favorite soundtracks:

Alien3 by Elliot Goldenthal: All time favorite. GREAT music on all levels! (but the movie sucked)
oh yeah, Alien and Aliens soundtracks are good too...
8mm by Mychael Danna. not as good as A3 but still nice. different.
the first Poltergeist by Jerry Goldsmith is also excellent

ah...gotta stop. could go on now

However, LOTR soundtracks works great in the movie but is mediocre when heard alone. Not bad at all, but just very standard stuff imo.

majorspunk · 12-13-2003, 07:00 PM

Good.

We have our John Barry fans.. Hans Zimmer fans.. Jerry Goldsmith fans..

Hmm,.. I'm gonna drop some more names me thinks are worthy..

Lalo Schifrin - Mission: Impossible fame
Krzysztof Komeda - Rosemary's Baby fame
Francis Lai - A Man and a Woman fame
David Shire - The Taking of Pelham One Two Three fame
Michel Legrand - The Thomas Crown Affair fame
Roy Budd - Get Carter fame
Henry Mancini - Pink Panther fame
Ennio Morricone - Italian Westerns fame

Speaking of Italian cinema.. some funky 70's lounge music classics..

Piero Umiliani
Piero Piccioni
Armando Trovaioli
Riz Ortolani
Nino Rota
Bruno Nicolai
Gianni Ferrio
Gato Barbieri

Daver · 12-13-2003, 08:10 PM

Let's not neglect the late, great Bernard Herrmann, who composed many wonderful scores outside his better-known collaborations with Hitchcock.

His overture to Vertigo is mesmerising.

majorspunk · 12-13-2003, 08:29 PM

Thanks Daver. I haven't heard of Bernard Herrmann. Will definitely check him out.

Immanuel Goldstein · 12-14-2003, 05:24 AM

I admit a certain partiality to Goldsmith, notably The Russia House as well as Morricone in I… Comme Icare; OK, his La Folie Des Grandeurs is also fun.
