But I remember the old 80s pressing of Rozsa’s THE THIEF OF BAGDAD/THE JUNGLE BOOK CD having issues, especially towards the end in the JUNGLE BOOK suite,
I don’t have yours, but I have that from Collosseum and don’t know which pressing that is. Played fine the last time.
I had sofar never any original CD being affected by “disc rot”. I have two that have “bronzing”, CASSANDRA CROSSING and Herrman’s PSYCHO on Unicorn Kanchana. Both have safety rips but still play fine. I have some CDS that have ttiny holes you see against light like Rozsas original QUO VADIS but that also plays still fine.
It is really a dilemma that mankind does not get its act together although all people all over the world just want to live their lifes… And I just read that Ethopia and Eritrea also may head into yet another conflict again…
cost of environmental damage
Yeah, since my school days this is a topic already and “nothing” happened…
I have not seen all or even many Haneke films but they are good. BENNY was just so heavy to stomach… And his movies have few to no music I think. At least BENNY has no score at all and didn’t need any.
I once saw Haneke’s BENNY’S VIDEO at university. Tough one that is and had never ttthe desire to watch it again.
The world was never simple or really better. But nowadys it feels as it has gotten more complex than before. Nothing seems “secure” or “fixed” anymore. You certainly can blame the internet with its quick access to and over precence of informations and its fake companions of all kinds you had to significantly research previously. Everything is at a finger tipp side by side. The cracker-barrel philosophy that was previously hidden in rather private, limited environments is now public. Benefit and curse at the same time.
Could be to set apart from his father. Or it is the origial spelling although as “Faltermeyer” is surely easier for US eyes than “Faltermeier”. There are different variants of the last part in German like Meier, Mayer or Maier. Although there is no note about that found.
See above
When I commented that poster was not visible for some reason. Or did you add it later? Never heard of that movie btw. Seems he has no score releases in a form.
I like the film very much and also my father liked it, too. As mentioned besides old westerns we also loved old monumental movies and this fits in as a new one
(it’s also the film that turned me around on Harry Gregson-Williams, after having disliked him previously)
Me as well! I always ditched him as a some “Zimmer apprentice” until then (which I first did with Powell, too…).
Seems many democracies have some problems nowadays with the general raise of right wing parties. Just read that in Sveden they discuss even building thet goverment including theirs. Interesting times…
A hidden part of me wants to see an origin story for the emperor/Palpatine in STAR WARS, but I’m often too scared to say it out loud, because most people won’t. After all, it can result in disaster, which the Hannibal origin film did.
Or badly told like Anakin… Maybe if that would have been told so I could believe it I would have liked it…
Oh, I could write an essay about Star Wars.
You surely will then have more time to do the next days 😉
I should have specified that I have no issue with backstories or prequels as such, if the universe is rich enough to support it, which STAR WARS certainly is
I did get that and in general I follow that. But I think especially with an iconic villian like Darth Vader it harms that status to tell how exactly he got to be. A little more mystery to things like that I find more exiting actually.
Yes, you’re right. Didn’t BSX release some Peter Bernstein CDs fairly recently, featuring some of that stuff?
Yes, four volumes as far as I can see. I know I listened to the samples a while ago but it didn’t make it to any priority list so far…
My prime example is always actually Star Wars for unncessary back stories: Did we really neeed to know how Darth Vader became Darth Vader? I mean besides that the journey of Annakin turning to the dark side was really not convincing or not convincingly told at all. For me at least… It would have been much more interesting to not know at all.
I got a lot more forgiving of musical genres than I was in my younger days. I couldn’t stand Hip Hop/Rap at all. Nowadays I do like some. As in every genre there is good and bad. Or to follow Nick here direclty. Some is not for me but for others.
Oh, definitely. It’s fascinating to behold — everything is usually so black/white in those “battles”.
Yeah, somehow often die hard fans of something can’t “tolerate” if anyone is not into it that much.
Peter Bernsein did a lot TV stuff which often does not get releases. And he was involved in the two GHOSTBUSTERS reboots although as consultant only I think.
I mean, I like his EWOK scores,
I like them, too. But probably not really something to take off with as we know it is always tied to the movies itself as well 😉
I can understand that issue with Barry. He was best until the mid 70s, afterwards he got a bit boring (exceptions like DANCES WITH WOLVES athough not really providing anything new). Besides loving his early ones like Goldfinger that defined the sound, my favorite of his Bonds is probably THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS as is so varied and a kind of best of. I like the drumbeat updates although they were not exactly by himself if I am not mistaken.
Beside liking Arnold I always liked Conti’s and George Martin’s entries a lot.
I was a big fan of LOST (in general) which did put this to the extreme with flashbacks and flashforwards. But I am very tired of reboots and endless sequels. But especially prequels of things you never wanted to have told exactly as it was more fun to not “know” everything. I like to call the “disease” prequelities or rebootpresequelitis.
I would recommend his 8 DAYS (8 TAGE). Some of the vocals on that are so powerful.
Better late than never: Thanks, will do! I looked him up meanwhile and seems he is active 10+ years already. Somehow he escape me primarily because I haven’t watched most things he did so gar.
Yeah, I was one of those kids that refused it. I could have learned piano but at that time I wasn’t interested especially in classical stuff. Actually I think at that time music in school did drive me away for some time.
I don’t try to missonair anyone but I try to make them aware of film music. Everyone know about my preferences 😉
But usually nobody asks.
Indeed, it rarely happens. Although some weeks ago I was asked about Alan Silvestri by my nephew and his mother and was a bit surprised that they even knew his name 😉
Firstly, have you ever been influenced by your parents, siblings, friends, whoever, in terms of your musical taste? And especially film music?
Yes, as documented on thte “Origins” topic.
Secondly, have YOU ever influenced, or tried to influence others regarding the virtues of our wacky music interest? Family, friends, colleagues? Have you made someone else catch the film music bug, ever?
Yes, but never really could “convert” anyone. Some had some interest but only among other music tastes.
My so called nephew learns piano and had even organ lessons. He is a huge Michael Jackson and Elton John fan. He recently showed me his favorite track from a 70s Elton John concert and it was not one of the biggest hits. There is still hope but we’ll see what are his later priorities. Teenagers always have other priorities I guess 😉
With a few clicks and some ideas you can create your own multimedia content. Music is there just a tiny aspect. And e.g. in the movies they watch today music plays a lesser and lesser role.
Well, with AI it is not really “your own” but recycled material of others. But that’s another discussion! But is that that really so? I feel especially songs are still huge. Those K-Pop Hunter Stuff seems huges with many kids. As we discussed here often our kind of music and especially instrumental stuff was not huge in my youth and probably still isn’t. As is classical stuff. That may come later or never…
Yes, but they look so much better! 🙂
Indeed 😉 Replacing with original (or at least official downloads) is a way. If there are “originals” at all! 😉
I am mostly struggling with NIGHTWATCH.
Have to re-listen to that but don’t recall issues but it didn’t stick at all with me apparently.
NONE BUT THE BRAVE next up.
I don’t have the actual album but I listened to extensive samples that at some time were on Youtube. It was nice but didn’t really grab me. Not yet the WIlliams magic there.
