The Film Score Thread

Inspired to look for it after Timmer posted info on this film.

Another post, but whoa: http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/cds/detail.cfm?cdID=444

I love the FAMILY PLOT score. "The First Seance", "The White Mustang", "Blanche and George", "Search Montage", and "Breaking into the House" are all fine tracks.

That VENICE AFTER DARK cue is slick, too.

powerful, determined, wonderous. I do have a copy of the theme done by Nic Raine and co, melds the prelude to the final theme when the survivors emerge onto the keel.

and something rattling around

Really want, but it's so damn expensive.

Trying to compile various versions of "The Long Goodbye".









I could swear there's another female vocal one too.

A question for my squaliform brethren, Requin (Amblerodon amblarias). I've always admired the use of synthesisers on Michael Small's score for MARATHON MAN, and particularly an eerie effect heard throughout the film created by the keyboardist Ian Underwood - in Small's words "a kind of scream which went not only with terror and torture but also the limits pushed by being a marathon runner."

Do you know how this was created? As you told me once, the only two major US synth manufacturers in the mid 70s were ARP Instruments, Inc. and Moog, so it's likely to be one of those.



First heard with the sotto voce piano cluster and bell tree swipe at 0:05. Sounds like some kind of pitch bending going on.

I want the soundtrack

Seen the movie? It's outstanding.

Yup. First time I saw it was in cinema class in 06. Netflixed the DVD a few months ago, turned out to be the really shitty transfer so I didn't bother finishing it. I noticed Instant had in on HD so I had to see it. It's really a lovely flick in many ways. Besides the tits.

You watched it in high school!?

No, but that would have been awesome. Community college. I think nearly every film we saw in that class ended up becoming my favorites. Especially It Happened One Night, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Best Years of Our Lives, Sunset Blvd (that's what I really need to see again).

Get Max to run it for you.

Uploaded these:







I may have goofed and left out a track. I'm too tired to give a crap.

Such a great score.

Uploaded yet another one. I think I found a format that I like: edited together in parts, but labeled on the video and in the description box.

Gave my Nemesis CD a breeze through after a while. Sure, it's not Goldsmith's best Trek soundtrack but overall it's better than most. The Scorpion, Odds and Ends, Remus...

One thing I'll miss from the new movies (and in a way, missed from XI) is the moment at the end when the Enterprise warps off to the thundering start of the TNG theme.

TrekCore has the complete score, though I have yet to sequence the new tracks to the album ones. Same goes for Trek VI.

I've got a couple of the extended tracks about someplace. The end title track on the CD is different to what you get in the film, think it's one of the bonus features the film version.



always like the start.

"And so like a thousand commanders on a thousand other battlefields, I wait for the dawn."

Fond some old LPs in my closet, including the original STAR WARS in perfect condition. Pity it's not worth much.

Nice avatar Tux. Just about got the entire cast fitting into the frame. Curse those Allen all stars.

Transfer it to your computer. Digital turntables aren't too expensive.

I've been wanting to do that with the OBSESSION LP, but I'm a lazy fuck.

there's some clips of Goldsmith from the CD talking about composing for Star Trek about how to him it's about goodness, about a better future (Star Trek that is) but he likes or liked working with the filmmakers as he needs their input. About letting his music do its work and then you judge it on merit. I think it's on the DVD where he said something along the lines of, I don't think of myself as a film composer I think of myself as a maker of music for films...

in short, always a delight to hear him talk about his music even if it is Star Trek.

and the swell sounding Ba'ku music

Man that's nice. Maybe it is worthwhile to try tracking that over the 'readying for battle' montage in TWOK, just for the sake of comparison. I've always wondered how TWOK would have gone if they'd kept JG onboard (not that they could have afforded him, Meyer told me they couldn't even afford Horner for TUC, which is when I suggested in vain that he hire Christopher Young on the basis of his unused JG-like stuff for INVADERS FROM MARS.)
