The Film Score Thread

Now I need to change my pants.

Touching tribute by Stranglers drummer Jet Black to one of Britain's unsung soundtrack writing talents, the late Roy Budd.

I just realized someone moved it. Sure it shouldn't be in the film section?

Anyway, been listening to CRYSTAL SKULL. Reminds me of Goldsmith's NEMESIS as in the prime years are past for the composer but he still churns out some very good work I would easily take over 90% of what's being called music in film. "Call of the Crystal" might be my favorite track on the album.

...A decade later, David Morrell was inspired by "Lonely Are the Brave" to write the novel "First Blood" , filmed in the 80's. In "First Blood" of Kotcheff , Goldsmith stands a speech similar to that performed in the model: the contrast between what is John Rambo, a man faithful to ideas in extinction, compared with bureaucratic collectivism of a society will result, at range of employment equity action movie, a music of profound nostalgia that evokes a past more worthy and honest. As in "Lonely Are the Brave" , the tragic transition from a world of solidarity and humanity pioneer industrial and soulless...

Santa, could you provide a better translation?

Maestro Williams hits age 80 today...

Harms wants him to drop dead.

What did 80 ever do to Williams?

It stole his polo necked sweater.

Read all about it: NYPD seeks John Williams for crimes against fashion

No need to fear. Williams's loyal fans will save him.

I see you have been appointed to the post of Hans Zimmer Killer.

Any New Englanders plan on seeing him in concert at Tanglewood this summer?

I just hope they don't play the same music as the past two years. I've heard enough Indiana Jones in concert.

Back in 2008, however, Williams conducted Korngold's theme for THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD. It was great.

personally, this is better than much of what came after Ron Jones. I like the echoing sound...well, the sound reminiscent of the Patton theme.

Some of his other stuff is jaunty, tracks from Where No One Has Gone Before, or 111001010101010101010

BOBW without exception and Yesterday's Enterprise.

I need to start uploading more tracks, I've been lazy lately on that front.

Speaking of 11001001, I always dug "The Enhancement".



In a way the later seasons while superior were to an extent less enjoyable because of the lack of Ron Jones.

The Gremlins FSM soundtrack arrived in the mail. :D

Empire's done a heartfelt tribute to Williams. 80 Reasons Why John Williams Is The Man.

The compilation's a bit formulaic, but there's some unexpected choices there (i.e. the terrifying Abduction of Barry from CE3K) that balance it out.

I wanna kill people to this music.

Some real awesomeness kicks in at about a minute.

Anyone got the Maddalena OST?

Looked it up on YouTube and found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM28toNzAVU

Very cool.

This is the original of 'Come Maddalena'. None of the others cut it.



Forget 'Funky Drummer', the percussion on this scratchy vinyl cut is amazing. I want an HQ version.

Wow.

I found something on the US iTunes that may be the original.

I downloaded the first track and it sounds pretty identical to the one you posted, just longer and not scratchy.
