War of the Worlds is a Must have Album. Whether it's a film score i doubt but Meh You still Must get it Now

My word of the day is Obviously Meh

Loving all these suggestions guys, definately hit the jackpot here, far too much to listen to properly just yet! I've put my Pirates back on, forgotten just how much i loved the score to this... I'm imagining Serenity to be somewhat similar but i can't find any previews annoyingly, think i'm after that next (i guess its pretty rare though, film didn't do so well an all).

Serenity is really quite different. Its brilliant though. Its very subtle too in some respects. The series/film is basically a western in space and China became a hugely powerful country so our culture in the future is integrated with that. Theres some great tracks were you can hear those influences in the music. My favourite tracks are the quiet ones. Serenity, Final, Prep for flight, and Love. Its just a real damn shame the acoustic theme tune thats on the end credits isn't available anywhere.

Is the opening theme on the it? The one with the huuuuge ass opening cut. I think i remember it and i LOVE that!

Where it shows the sign on the ship and zooms all the way out and around the ship then goes in for the landing sequence where they may crash?

LeperousDust · 14-09-2007, 20:26

Yeah thats the one, loved it

Just found this which suggest the end credits are on the soundtrack cd?

Oddly enough, the track "Into The West" (LoTR: Return of the King says the 'Reel Chill' booklet?) sounds very much like the Serenity intro.

Edit: Just checked UteLube, my copy doesn't feature a bint singing, so it sounds more like Serenity.

Hehe! Your "absamalutely" made me giggle!

Never seen Nightmare before Christmas and always wanted to. I will make it a definite for this year.

My favourite composer in the world... MiiiiSSSssssssssTER JOOOOOOOhn WILLIAMS!

When I was in America in 1998 I missed seeing him at the Hollywood Bowl by ONE DAY! I was so upset! Though I did manage to sneak in and see the orchestra rehearsing on a bright, beautiful sunny day. It was spine tingling... my Pa, Brother and I were the only ones there sat smack bang in the middle of the amphitheatre! Was just... gob smacking.

/me wants to see him live desparately

All his music just fits perfectly and naturally with the mood. Without fail he manages to capture my full attention and skip a heart beat everytime.

Also... Howard Shores score for Silence of the Lambs (without it the film was only just bare-able to watch alone at night but with it... nuh uh, no way would I watch it!) and James Horner (Aliens Soundtrack).

Hans Zimmer doesn't do a bad job in Gladiator either... I think I may have very similar tastes to Ridley Scott

Geniuses. All of them! We should all bow down to these people, they're superbly talented and well. Phenomenal!

Annoyingly theres the end credits track which is the first couple of minutes from the end credits. If you watch all the credits at the very very end is a brilliant acoustic of the original show's theme tune. So hard to find

LeperousDust · 14-09-2007, 22:59

Wow, never heard that, gonna go check it out now when i find my serenity dvd, you seem to have pretty similar taste to me in music. I've had some Zimmer on tonight while i've been doing other things and it makes great "background" music whilst i'm concetrating on other things. I really enjoyed Batman Begins

Desperately want Serenity, but its 79 days old on my newsgroups and my retention is a small 30 days (

).
