Anyway here it is from Classic FM's site http://audioboom.com/boos/3693183-world-premiere-of-new-bond-score-spectre-by-thomas-newman
And there is still 95 minutes to go!
Well, I am positive. But let's hear the entire score ;-)
I'm sure the wait will be worth it.
That bit with the choir is so good, I hope there's more of it.
It's not bad......not offensive.....not intrusive....should support the accompanying scene well. My favourite part is the way it ends. There's a 60's spy movie aspect to that ending. The choir element is somewhat 'Batman Danny Elfman' or 'Zimmer' to my ears, but maybe I'll change my view on repeated listens.
Having said that, it's somewhat generic & run of the mill compared to the franchise's storied past. I guess I'll have to rely on the slower cues to provide some melodic elements.
I was thinking 'Spiderman Danny Elfman', but I don't mind it all. Bit different for Bond and not as generic as the intro.
From around 1:39.
I wonder if this was intentional....to sort of tie the DC era together.
On the SF Soundtrack.
Haha
Just hit up Grand bazaar again and you've just got it.
Not sure if I'll be crazy about that. Grand Bazaar wasn't the best to me.
Oh wait....
He did!
And it's considerably more bombastic and memorable than Grand Bazaar.
You forgot to add "in your limited opinion" :)
I'm judging both tracks on their own merrits. one is good and the other is a mess. Bond music is somthing that's very important to me. I listened to it many times and still don't like Backfire. Legitimate criticism isn't disrespect, I was expecting something different and got more of the same. As I said, I enjoyed Donna Lucia, but not a fan of backfire. I'm not dismissing the whole score. But when it is released I shall be buying it and reviewing it track by track. I'm entitled to my opinions too you know.
You're right actually. The more I listen to it, the Spidey parallel comes to mind for the choir bit.
Nothing memorable, the only exception that Grand Bazaar Istanbul track.
Especially if you know Newman's body of work, Skyfall disappoints immensely imo.
In that regard he is like Mendes. Both belong to the best of their craft but with Bond (Skyfall) they couldn't provide their masterpiece or one of them.
IMHO of course, but I really rank almost all other movies from Mendes clearly over Skyfall and the same applies to Newman. He has done some unforgettable masterpieces.
I will listen to the Spectre soundtrack with an open mind though (of course!).
I know what the man is capable of and I hope Spectre will be his finest hour.
Now Now...let's be nice. Comparing a legendary musical artist like Barry to Newman is like comparing Die Another Day to Casino Royale.
I personally enjoyed the track and am VERY eager to see how it accompanies, what is sure to be, an epic scene in the film.
Alright, Johnny Five Posts.
I'll be ecstatic too, but hopefully can stop short of making a mess in the theatre. It's been 36 long yrs since we've heard this incredible work of art, so accidents are acceptable within reason I would think....
Ha ha
EDIT: it's just Backfire again.
