    I am not going over the synth farts on purpose my friend. They are very loud and very awful and distract me from actually enjoying it any of the orchestral notes buried all that mess. I wish i could get over Goldsmith synth farts whenever they lie in his scores (didn't someone ever say to him: STOP!) but i simply cannot.

    n.p. GEORGE FENTON - Stage Beauty

    It's been a while since i visited this. Completely orchestral, lush and pleasantly "old-fashioned". Another composer i would like to see composing more.

    I never remember anyone complaining back in the day ( as in when the score was released ), is this a retrospective critique I wonder? Having said that I do remember being annoyed by the synths in the track The Unicorns even back then, one of JG's most sublimely beautiful choral tracks ruined by those 'blurping' synths at the end of the big choral build up. On the whole I think the synth work in this score works fine.

    I wish they had said the same to Horner when writing Spider-Man.

    Oh come on, they're not even close. I don't hear any synth farts in Spiderman. Orchestra is everywhere, the rest is standard Hornerisms and in much, much milder way than some of his older scores, imo.

    Horner's electronics clash with the orchestra creating a disjointed and messy sound.

    I thought they were pretty subtle...at least they are not really discernible unless you're looking for them.

    NP : A HISTORY OF SCOTLAND - Paul Leonard Morgan



    Very good music, quality scoring for BBC TV series. I wish there could be a CD release of COAST ( which also contains tracks by Morgan ) but I suspect it may be a minefield of rights concerning the use of varied music and composers.

    I have had the same reaction at those synths and everytime I listen to Legend it results in me feeling slightly annoyed, even though it's absolutely gorgeous in places. I think it's not as consistent as some here make it out to be, and for that very reason not a masterpiece. A masterpiece is something where practically every single cue, every single minute there's something awesome or incredible going on. Total Recall = masterpiece, Lionheart = masterpiece, Star Trek TMP = masterpiece. Legend = okay

    The electronics are what make me think of Spider-man as unfocused and messy. Listen to a fantastic track such as Deep Impact's 'Our Best Hope' to hear subtle synths that blend wonderfully with the orchestra.

    Shame this composer isn't getting assignments anymore. Well, at least credited assignments.


    Check out 'Secretariat'. VERY GOOD.

    2 Days in the Valley - Jerry Goldsmith

    I'm not often surprised, but I am surprised by how strong this is. A sort of cross between Chinatown and Basic Instinct - obviously not as good as either of those, but it's good all the same.

    Hemingway & Gellhorn - Javier Navarrete

    Sensational score with a couple of string-led themes that sound bold and fresh - even more so in the light of his artificial, repetitive work on Wrath of the Titans. This may be one of the better scores produced this year to date.

    I am looking forward to hearing what Shore does with The Hobbit more than what Peter Jackson does with it. But I don't really relish the drawn-out expense of 3 more OST CDs, special edition CDs for each of the films that contain one extra track, then 3 complete recording releases, and archival/rare CD release and an in-depth book.

  18. NP: Quantum of Solace (David Arnold)

    Pity the film isn't better -- Arnold deserved a better swansong for what was one of his best scores for the series.

    Woah woah woah.
    Why didn't I notice before that 'Night at the Opera' was very likely a strong temp track influence for the strongest musical idea in Zimmer's INCEPTION score? dizzy

    Indeed. Quite so. Quite so!
  22. First Knight Goldsmith

    Superb score, I think the complete score plays brilliantly on the La La land release.
  23. THE LAND BEFORE TIME - HORNER

    Wonderful Horner of symphonic proportions or the unofficial sequel to Willow.

    I hope so too. And I hope our high expectations of it won't lead to disappointment.

    Hans had no temp-track on Inception. I asked him about the similarities. He admitted to using the same intervals, but said he hasn't heard this track at the time.

    I find that hard to believe? I was also trying to think if there was anything similar in John Barry's ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, a score I know back to front and a score that Zimmer says he was influenced by for INCEPTION but can find nothing.

    We need more relationships where the director trusts the composer so much that they don't use a temp track.
