[Closed] Now Playing XVI

Brian Tyler - War

The Bourne inspirations are there, in the theme, though rhytmically it's more inspired by Tokyo Drift.

I definitely prefer Tokyo Drift and Eagle Eye to this score.

NP: The Mummy and a Tomb of Some Kind... you know what I mean, Randy Edelman
Wow... if I close my eyes and try really REALLY hard to pretend this ISN'T a Mummy score, this actually can come off almost halfway decent. This is more suited for an Alan Quartermain adventure with its flamboyant silly theme. When it first came on, my reaction was: "Goodness - Gracious - Me!" There are none of the ethnic flavours Goldsmith and Silvestri infused their own scores with. But like I said, if I ignore the offense this score is to the franchise, it's actually a decent effort for Edelman when taken outside the source material, is it not? "Shanghai Chase" actually had me excited a little bit and a few of the tender moments actually came off as, well, tender! And so I'll say this: Edelman, keep up trying hard, but please stay the hell away from The Mummy.

lol, don't really have a grudge, in fact I started my soundtrack collection with a huge admiration for his music. I'd avidly collect everything believing something like The Quest should measure up to any Goldsmith in a person's collection. Dragonheart sure made an impact and is a noteworthy score if for that reason alone, but at this point I consider that Anaconda was his masterwork and it was all a bit downhill and silly from there. Actually I take that back: his recent Ten Commandments really impressed me. If you can work past the fact that it sure isn't Bernstein's classic.

But you have me in agreement for First Blood, no question. I often struggled to determine which of the three Goldsmith Rambo scores is my favourite, and the relentless action of Part II usually wins out, but really the suspense of the first one is remarkable.

NP: Something the Lord Made, Christopher Young
I'm only three tracks into this one, and already: wow.

With you on that one.

Currently listening to Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (I have neglected this completely since seeing the movie). Waaaay better than I remember, even if the skull theme is overused.

You prefer the greatest game ever played over WAR? I always thought that British with their funny hobbies are weird as f*** but you Sir still managed to surprise me Oh well, what can i do? I love you all, my dear odd-weather-loving, funny-talking british friends!

I did like it in the first place, when i initially heard and played it but it's been long since i last played it; judging but some of your - fine gents' reactions, it seems that i have to play it again in new!

But that's the point! It's so very well-done and varicolored, modern, urban and hip, i love it.

Golf. Let me get my buckit.

I thought the same. Even I prefer War! Even you manic Tyler defenders must admit that Greatest Game Ever Played is pretty much the most shameless continuous temp-track rip-off we've ever heard in a film score - with the exception of 300.

NP: Youth without Youth (Osvaldo Golijov)

It's strange to be addicted to a film score that helps you imagine what your life will be like if you're 85 and don't achieve any of the things you want. This is a heavy score, but oh-so-genuine in its emotions. I can't wait to hear what Golijov does for Tetro.

"British with their funny hobbies"

This from a Greek aeroplane fanatic!

Im with Erik about : Matrix Revolutions sucks. Tyler's Timeline is too much (like everything he does) .Goldsmith's Timeline is ruined for the electronics (But I remember the last action tracks burned the house ).Phonix theme is pure Gold (even if the suspense music is not so interesting). Kull is a magnific muscular score with a great theme.

And I love "the creator" discussion with Neo in "Matrix Reloaded", one of the best SCI FIction moments in the Sci Fiction story!

Before

I was playing :

Horton Hears a Who! (powell)

When It's good..It's so Damn Good!!!!

The first 3 track with it's the opening can be better, specially track 3 with this kind of fanfarre. But what makes this score worth to listen is from track 28 to 34. Action packed, epic and the suite hilarious!

"We are heeeeeeeeeeeere, we are here! "

Predator Deluxe Edition (Silvestri)

It create a very specific sound. A mix of Bernard Herrman and Goldsmith's Alien but with a pure Silvestri sound

NP:Matrix The Deluxe Edition (Davis)

In my all time favourite scores.

The sound created by Davis is just amazing. Sadly it doesn't have "mona lisa overdrive"

While what you say may be true, I don't notice a thing, as I don't own the scores it's ripping off! Ignorance is bliss.



And I can tell you something that would INSTANTLY make the first 3 tracks better. Leave them as 1 track like it should be!
